Fodor's "Locals flock to Lidia's for Sunday brunch, which features an antipasti course, entré menu, and dessert buffet." Full review
Frommer's "Try the three-pasta sampler, delivered to your plate straight from the kitchen via a frying pan (you can have as much as you wish) or the very popular veal shanks." Full review
Gayot14.0
"When the weather is nice, diners can sit on the patio and watch the trains pulling in and out of the station. During the winter, a massive fireplace warms the bar." Full review

"This “quirky” River Market French provides “marvelous” dishes in an atmosphere “so Parisian you expect Edith Piaf to jump onto a table and begin a chanson”." Full review
Afar Magazine "One of the most romantic restaurants in Kansas City, Mano and Barbara Rafael’s French bistro in the River Market brings Paris to the Paris of the Plains." Full review
Where "The over-achieving menu reflects the French pedigree, but the atmosphere is relaxed." Full review
The Infatuation "Expect a menu that covers everything from glazed foie gras to escargot to steak au poivre...the portions here are big, so come and split a few dishes with someone you share" Full review
