★★★★★ 5.0 Angela Cooper · Feb 2026

The food at this restaurant is top notch. Above and beyond most all KC restaurants. We had a lovely dinner. We started with butternut squash soup and tartare. Both were so good, it was insane. For dinner we had scallops and the lamb, just INCREDIBLE. Everything on our plates was just delicious. I'm quite sure no matter what you ordered.It would be perfect. It just top of the top notch restaurants.

Stopped in during KC Restaurant week. This was our first time here. We were warmly greeted upon entry and sat promptly. Our server Shelby was great. The course selections for this menu were varied and should appeal to most people. The space is nice and energetic. We will return for their regular menu.

We had dinner at Novel while my friends were in town, and it was honestly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Kansas City. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely welcoming. The food was incredible. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can tell there’s real intention behind the menu. The drinks were just as impressive, well crafted and perfectly balanced. In my opinion, Novel is easily one of the absolute best restaurant options in Kansas City. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers on service, food, and overall experience, this is it.

A very cute and quaint little place. Food was amazing and so were the drinks! We tried the polenta appetizer, a pasta dish and the halibut. Not pictures is the bread and their delicious butter & hummus and we also got a taster of the crab bisque and a salad. They do spread dishes out a bit so you do not feel rushed which is nice.

Amazing experience. Top notch food and service from top to bottom. we were recommended this restaurant via wine rep and did not disappoint. Chef Ryan and his team are impeccable, from the presentation of the dishes through and through to the flavors. The wines accomplished the dishes so well everything sang in harmony together. As a chef looking for an experience this was it. Novel hit every mark i was hoping for, from food to wine and hospitality alone. Their hospitality in our unfortunate night was top tier as well. Thank you to the kictchen staff and our server Trey as well. Top notch service, food, cocktails and wine program. You’re missing out by not dining at this establishment.
