★★★★★ 5.0 Kayla Nguyen · Mar 2026

If I could give this place a million stars, I would. I celebrated my 29th Birthday last night (Friday night). I made a reservation a couple weeks prior for 8 people. The entire staff is incredibly kind, and anticipated all of our needs before we even knew we needed them! Claire was our waitress- she was so knowledgeable, helpful and efficient! She made our experience so fun and memorable. Thank you Claire! The ambience was top notch, very intimate, and the food was AMAZING. I got the escargot, oysters and scallops (that nights special), friends had the steak, escar no pasta, the seafood gnocchi, and the salmon, we all enjoyed everything! They brought me a glass of champagne, and desert for my birthday, truly felt so special! Thank you to the entire staff- and thank you again Claire our fi

Perfect intimate atmosphere for a date night, or special occasion. Welcoming and attentive staff. Our waiter, Chris, takes the trophy for best service at this gem of Kansas City. The quality and presentation of each of the dishes we ordered were top notch. From appetizers to desserts, both the standard and du jour menus challenged our ability to choose. They have a very nice selection of wines to pair with any of their scrumptious entrees, or simply enjoy the very creative cocktails. Flavors on our food selections were expertly balanced and surprised our palates with every new bite. Table visits from the owner and chef completed our wonderful dining experience. Most definitely will come back! Bonus pic of a whole Galette Des Rois/French Kings’ Cake served on Three Kings Day.

I have been to Le Fou Frog three times over the past several years (first time was in 2012), and the experience has always been about the same. The building exterior and interior is small and quirky. I like it a lot. The food is pretty good, mixed reviews between me and my wife, and it's also very expensive for what you get. I believe you're paying mostly for the experience. The service has always been weird and/or pushy. I am guessing that the servers are asked to be strange, which is okay with me; but for some, it is probably a bit off putting. The little old French man who works here has been rude twice, and I wonder if this restaurant thinks Americans all expect French to be rude. No idea. My wife is European, and she is not impressed with this restaurant. If you want a very unique exp

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Elaina · Mar 2026

It’s a really small restaurant, even we had reservation, we still had a really bad seat, I was sitting between 2 booth cushions, really uncomfortable. Servers seemed busy, so they were rush you to place order. And we don’t like the light, we can’t see anything, got sauce on the shirt for the small seat and weird red light. Foods were ok, my hub liked his beef tarta and duck, but my salmon dish was a big disappointment, bland, the sauce had weird aftertaste

★★★★★ 5.0 Ibrahim · Feb 2026

Delicious, great choices, and wonderful presentation by Dale that made it a very memorable date night! We have been talking about dinning there for years, and finally did and it exceeded our expectations. Make a special plan and dine there. You won't be disappointed.
