This tapas-style restaurant in Kansas City was established in 2016, by couple Leslie and Nicholas Goellner. The hulking red-brick building gives little hint of the chic interior, with its wood paneling and exposed pipework. The small plates menu is modern, too, boasting dishes like spaghetti with miso black pepper cream and seafood ceviche.
