Reviews Summary
Pierpont's at Union Station is lauded for its stunning ambiance within the historic train station, exceptional service, and a menu featuring delicious steaks and seafood. While many praise the overall experience and fine dining atmosphere, some diners have noted inconsistencies in food temperature and seasoning, and occasional service hiccups at the bar.
"We went tonight (the weekend before the Super Bowl) so that was pretty brave with all of the events going on at Union Station. We were able to get a parking spot close (handicap parking) so that was nice! It was easy to get to when you got in, the staff were all very accommodating and offered to seat us at a table for the wheelchair. My wheelchair was able to fit through the restaurant just fine. The food was VERY good. We started off with the crispy cauliflower which was very good (the sauce was great!), I got the lobster corn bisque. The flavor and temperature were perfect. I ate it so fast I wish I had gotten the bowl! The little flakes of lobster were so good. For dinner I got the scallops, they were tender and complemented the sauce and greens well. We had the chocolate cheesecake for dessert, we liked the coffee dollop on top. That was a nice touch! Our waitress was very polite and professional. It was an all around great experience and one you should have whether you’re a KC native or in town visiting. I definitely recommend!"

"Pierpont's Restaurant: A Valentine's Day Delight (with a few minor hiccups)
Pierpont's at Union Station proved to be a wonderful choice for our Valentine's Day celebration. While there were a couple of small issues, overall the experience was fantastic, and we'd happily return.
We opted for the Valentine's Day special, and it certainly delivered in some areas. The lobster mac and cheese was absolutely divine – rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The pear salad was another highlight, offering a unique and appealing blend of tastes that pleasantly surprised us. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, exactly as we requested, and melted in our mouths.
Unfortunately, the carrot cake dessert was a bit of a letdown. It had an unusual seasoning that was quite prominent and, for us, detracted from the overall flavor profile. It wasn't to our liking, and sadly, we couldn't finish it.
On the positive side, the restaurant itself was impeccably clean, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. The bartenders and our waitress were incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the evening. We appreciated that our reservation was honored promptly, and we were seated without any significant wait.
Our table was by a window, which, while offering a nice view, did have a noticeable cold draft. However, the restaurant's interior temperature was comfortable, so it wasn't too bothersome.
Despite the dessert issue and the drafty window, we had a great experience at Pierpont's. The delicious food, attentive service, and overall ambiance made for a memorable Valentine's Day dinner. We would definitely recommend it for a special occasion and look forward to dining there again in the future."

"If you didn’t know, Pierpont’s offers a monthly afternoon tea and it’s easily one of the most memorable experiences in Kansas City. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter, because it frequently sells out and is absolutely worth reserving a spot.
We’ve gone over the past several months, and each visit was creative, delicious, and thoughtfully curated.
Each Afternoon Tea is set to a unique theme, which makes every experience feel fresh and fun. It’s also a great excuse to be creative yourself and dress up to match the theme. The tea itself was excellent, with a rotating selection of miniature sandwiches, fresh scones or pastries with clotted cream, and a final row of sweet treats. The specialty cocktail always reflected the theme, something unique and perfectly paired with the menu.
Lizzie and Jennifer were always incredibly attentive, making sure every table was taken care of and creating such a welcoming atmosphere.
It'll be part of our treasured memories of our time here in Kansas City!"
