Bluestem
Kansas City, Missouri
In a city best known for its barbecue, it's sometimes refreshing to have a meal that's a bit more sophisticated. Which is exactly what you'll find at Bluestem. The dinner menu is split into five courses, most with several options each, and diners can choose to purchase three to ten courses, with wine pairings optional. No matter if you order the chilled asparagus, butter-poached salmon, or hanging tender of beef — or all three — you can expect the presentation and service to be on par with the outstanding flavors. And should you feel a little less fancy, they also offer a lounge menu that's more affordable while not skimping quality.
