Welcome to Fox and Pearl, an award-winning bistro in Kansas City’s historic Westside neighborhood. Chef Vaughn Good employs a live fire hearth, a smoker, and a variety of preservation techniques to build layers of irresistible flavor. Vaughn works directly with local farmers to source superior ingredients, crafting seasonal menus that artfully blend his French culinary background with traditional, regionally inspired comfort foods. The restaurant has three unique indoor dining spaces and an outdoor courtyard. If you have a preference for a certain space please let us know when you book and we will do our best to accommodate.
“This restaurant is a dining experience! Everything from the atmosphere/decor to the service to the flavors... it is all amazing!! We started with the wings, which packed a little hit and a lot of flavor. Unfortunately, ours were completely uncooked in the middle, but our waitress took them back immediately to remedy the oversight with so many apologies. I had the carrot soup and my husband had the grain salad. The combinations of flavors and textures in both dishes was perfection! I ordered the sausage and hubby ordered the steak. Seriously, every bite was phenomenal. My compliments to the chef! I cannot say enough about how phenomenal our meals were. (Side note, best baked sweet potato I've ever had!) We finished with the ice cream flight. The flavor combinations were unique and delicious. I love knowing that their menu changes seasonally- I'm intrigued to discover what they'll do next! Bonus, when we got the bill, they comped us for the wings, which I thought was generous, since she brought us out fully cooked wings.”
“I loved the food and the service we received. We were there to celebrate our friends birthday. We started with 2 small plates of the peppers and french fries. They both were delicious. For our main course, 3 of us wanted the smoked chicken, but Unfortunately they were out and our server recommended the pork chops. They were delicious. For dessert we had the ice cream and the cheesecake. It was a little noisy but overall we had a great time. I would definitely check it out again.”
“The service was great..the atmosphere was awesome...my complaint is about the online menu versus when you go in. Online I never found where it says "menu changes daily". For someone like me who has to eat or certain things or I get sick, I try to always plan ahead, look over the menu and see what I can eat. Well, the menu posted is nothing like what it is when you get there. I had 4 small plates picked, only 1 was on there. 3 entrees...NONE were on there. So we made the best of it. We tried the charcuterie and the fries. The fries were great but they really are just fries, I won't lie but they were good. The charcuterie was amazing. It really shows off his meat curing and pickling skills. I would definitely love tk try more, unfortunately I won't go back because if the menu is what was tonight...I couldnt eat any thing...if its like the online one, I'd be set. The atmosphere amd service is top tier. We had a wonderful server. Its a great little place, but the menu online was wrong so I couldn't eat. I'm sure everything is wonderful, but they really should fix this. I know I cant be the only person this has affected.”
“Our appetizer, the Roasted Bone Marrow, came out quickly. The bone marrow was deliciously creamy, and the bread it came with was amazing. Our main courses took almost an hour to come out, with a lack of updates from our waiter. Ignoring that, the Grilled Flat Iron Steak was perfectly cooked and juicy, but it was served warm (almost cold) rather than fresh off the grill. The Smoked Pork Chop tasted like a glorified piece of ham, would not recommend. The Foie Gras Stuffed Burger, one of their daily specials, was not bad. The Pot Pie with braised rabbit was surprisingly good, but two pieces of bones made it less enjoyable. The cocktails are average. The atmosphere was lively and can get pretty loud.”
“trendy and cozy, service was easy. "Greeting" at the entrance and the overall vibe came across a little pretentious. We ordered two drinks, a steak, a portion of French fries, and the lamb ravioli, and our bill came to $156, tip included. The food was good, but I felt the meals were excessively overpriced. As an Italian (recently moved here), I couldn’t help but compare: in a one-Michelin-star restaurant in Venice or Milan, an entrée can be less expensive than a single dish here. A note for the lamb ravioli: exquisite meat, but it was filled with tangy cream cheese, which I felt overpowered the dish and made it "cheap". Regular ricotta would have paired better in my opinion. Overall, Fox and Pearl delivers a solid dining experience in a trendy setting, but the combination of price and pretentious vibe made it feel less worth it than I expected”
