Food was wonderful and service was even better. My family happened to be the only people on the tour, and our tour guide, Arlin , was amazing. Really just a wonderful person to be around.

From the first minute we walked in, everyone was so friendly and helpful. There were four of us. We each ordered a flight of products. Those working behind the bar were very friendly and personable. We were only there a short time, but we will definitely return when we come to Kansas City again.
