Went here for restaurant week. It wasn't my first time here. The food is outstanding and the chef really knows how to put a meal together. Wonderful flavors with delicious consistency. The waitstaff is attentive and prompt, but not constantly interrupting. This is an outstanding place for an enjoyable dinner or a date night. The only thing I would change is their live music (Though skillful) is a bit on the loud side.

Went in for restaurant week lunch. The she-crab soup was different than I have in Florida but very tasty! The goat cheeseburger and the French dip for excellent!

Everything is sooooo good, especially the musicians who provided such an romantic ambiance to go with the delicious food. Other than it is on the expansive side, all is good.

Decided to try this spot for a romantic date night and it was exactly the vibe I was going for. Felt upscale without being pretentious, and had a cozy intimate atmosphere. The food was great and all of our interactions with staff were great as well. Our server gave really good recommendations. Pricing was reasonable and the location is so nice for seeing the plaza lights right outside.

We had the most amazing date night at Chaz on the Plaza, located inside the beautiful Raphael Hotel in the heart of Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza. From start to finish, everything about our experience was outstanding. The atmosphere is warm, romantic, and inviting — perfect for a special night out. We were also treated to live music, which made the evening feel even more special. We started with a couple of glasses of wine and some appetizers — the Kansas City Mac & Cheese, Farm to Market bread, lobster bisque, and The Raphael salad — all were absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we had the filet mignon, herb-crusted lamb chops, and lobster bucatini pasta. Each dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. We ended with the warm peach cobbler, which was the perfect sweet touch to an incredible meal. The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. If you’re looking for a romantic, upscale dining experience in Kansas City, Chaz on the Plaza is a must-visit. It’s officially one of our favorite date-night spots in the city!

Chaz on the Plaza I've always wanted to stay at the Raphael Hotel, and I finally decided to do it this year, from November 1st to November 3rd, for my birthday, although it was a weekend after. I'm so glad I did. I had breakfast there both mornings, and everything was absolutely delicious. On the first day, I ordered the lox bagel, and you could tell the salmon was incredibly fresh. They give you plenty of cream cheese, and the capers take the flavor to another level. The second morning, I tried the steak and eggs (made with short rib), and it was excellent. I got full fast, but it made the perfect leftover breakfast the next day; the steak was even better after the seasonings had set in. I arrived just a few minutes after breakfast service ended, but the host went out of their way to ask the kitchen if they could still accommodate me, and they happily did. We sat by the window on the southeast corner, right across from the InterContinental Hotel. It was relaxing watching the cars and people passing by. If you're looking for a great breakfast or a good dinner, definitely stop by Chaz. You don't have to stay at the hotel to enjoy the restaurant; pull into the parking garage, let them know you're there for Chaz, and they'll buzz you in. Whoever the chef is, he is fantastic, and my server was on top of it, definitely five stars from me, without a doubt.

My wife and I really enjoyed their Valentine's weekend fixed menu, especially the perfectly cooked steak. Our server did a great job and made sure we had a lovely experience. The bartender made excellent drinks and we enjoyed sitting by the outside fire before dinner.

We were in town for a concert on a Sunday night. The Raphael gave us $150 credit for dinner with the Sunday Getaway package. The vibe of the place was relaxing and elegant. The Steak Diane is a signature dish and it was amazing! The drinks were pretty and tasty. If in town, don't skip Chaz! Friendly service. Hopefully next time we can stay for the live jazz show!
