Lovely spot on the Plaza in the Raphael hotel. A great intimate bar as our guest gathered gave us time to settle. Dinner was fabulous, all 4 gave high praise. Lobster bisque a winner, preceded sea bass. Service was grand, food tops plus a nice wine list. This was a nice after Kauffman Arts Center place to meet. Enjoyed gated secure parking in the back. We shall return.

The atmosphere, food, and staff are all amazing, and the service was very efficient! They have light live music every night and this one lady's voice was incredible. I believe her name was Emily. She sounded like the audio came straight from a recording it really was awesome. Also shoutout to Ben, Brie, and Lyann, as I got to meet them all and they were all so friendly!

My husband and I made a reservation with Chaz on the plaza for our marriage anniversary. We had such a great experience. The bread and butter was delicious. Neither of us drink so we were happy that we could choose a mocktail from the menu. My husband is a burger guy so he tried the burger and was very impressed. I ordered the fillet and the meat was tender and juicy and cooked my preferred way. We couldn't leave without trying the creme brûlée which was just absolutely perfect. Highly recommend! Chaz also offered brunch so my husband and I will be back!

Wow! This is my favorite place I visited during my stay in Kansas City. My friends and I came here for dessert and to listen to some live jazz. Both were incredible. Our server was very friendly and genuine. My friend even got the chance to sing with the musicians. The desserts were delicious as well. I highly recommend the chocolate mousse tart. Everything about my experience here was wonderful and I made some great memories!

My Wife and I love everything about the Chaz. We love the historic hotel it's connected to, and have stayed there several times. We love their Brunch and in the past loved how they coupled it with Jazz. Now they have Jazz every night with their meal, from 6-10 and we have enjoyed that several times as well! It's fantastic food and service, and a sweet vibe with the live Jazz. Don't miss out on this place!

This is a place I have driven by numerous times and have never gone in, but I urge everyone to try it out. It's a hidden gem. I was invited to a summer menu tasting and the chef knows what he's doing with all the flavors. We started off with the citrus goat cheese salad which had butter lettuces, pepitas, poached citrus, goat cheese, pickled red onion, and savory quinoa. The second course was pan seared scallops, oh my goodness was I in love with the sauces the scallop was sitting on. The plate includes wild caught scallops, citrus carrot purée, pea butter, grilled asparagus, and savory quinoa. And then the third course was New Zealand lamb chops, the chef was letting his play on middle Eastern seasonings shine on this plate. It included harissa and honey rubbed New Zealand lamb chops, quinoa, spinach, pickled golden raisins, almonds and curry butter. WOW! To all the flavors my taste buds took in that day. And then to end the meal of course dessert, I had the lemon blueberry cheesecake which was new York style cheesecake with lemon crème and blueberry preserves. They have a brunch menu too so I am excited to check that out. During the week they have a jazz concert series too, so great for all you jazz lovers and a cherry on top to a great meal.

Wonderful live jazz every night in an intimate, romantic setting. Prices are very reasonable for such a nice place. Friendliest service imaginable. On our second night we felt like old friends. Highlights included the shrimp cocktail, which is deconstructed so you can adjust the spicy sauce and horseradish to your taste. Duke Wellington is a short ribs take on the classic Beef Wellington. Excellent wine list with reasonable prices.

Chaz is a great restaurant. Location is perfect in downtown Kansas City and specifically close to the 'Plaza'. The servers are excellent and provide good details about the meal or area if you have any questions. Overall the quality of food is fantastic! I have not been at the jazz music nights but I would have high expectations!
