Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Excelsior Springs

Every item on the menu I or my guests have tried is outstanding. The service is quick and friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and fancy without being pretentious. Highly recommend, especially for special occasions.

We come here because they don’t cook in seed oil, and the food always tastes great. I had the meatloaf. It was a recommendation of the waiter and that was one on my list to get. It was the perfect portion for me (6’5, 200 lbs). Carrots, mushrooms and fingerling potatoes. Very good flavor. My wife had the Sustainable Salmon over rice pilaf. I had the rest of hers since she could not eat it all. She was very happy with the meal. A glass of a red blend from Italy capped it off for both of us. We will be back soon, thank you True Food!

Practically located in the Ambassador Hotel lobby, the ambiance is surprisingly quiet and relaxed. Seats were comfortable and the servers were friendly. There is no hurry here - so that’s either going to be awesome for your party as your conversation at the table will not be interrupted or it will frustrate you to no end if you are on a strict timetable. You are not going to be hurried off so they can get another group at your table. I found this very satisfying. Dinner and drinks are served at a relaxed pace. The bread service was outstanding with the cinnamon butter (although a bit pricey - more on this later.) We had the shrimp pasta and braised rib. The pasta was a little on the al dente side - which suited me great. Shrimp was flavorful, had a little kick to it. Braised rib was outstanding, the Demi sauce was amazing. No complaints about the food - it was very, very, good. There are a couple of minor irritations. The temperature was cool and we had a breezy draft hit us through out the dinner. The fact that it was 38 degrees outside didn’t help. This isn’t a deal breaker by any stretch. Price point - this is tricky. For two of us with no drinks and the bread appetizer the bill was $100. (Tax and tip included). We had shrimp pasta and braised short rib - not steak and salmon. And $10 for small loaf of bread seemed… a bit much. The food was great…but was it almost $40/plate good? I realize prices are going up and I’m not just paying for the food but the ambiance as well but it seemed a bit high given some of the other options in KC. Having said that - the food was top shelf and we had a very good time.

Very nice & quiet location. Has a corner view of 2 streets. Food & drinks wonderful.
