The food at this restaurant is top notch. Above and beyond most all KC restaurants. We had a lovely dinner. We started with butternut squash soup and tartare. Both were so good, it was insane. For dinner we had scallops and the lamb, just INCREDIBLE. Everything on our plates was just delicious. I’m quite sure no matter what you ordered.It would be perfect. It just top of the top notch restaurants.

Stopped in during KC Restaurant week. This was our first time here. We were warmly greeted upon entry and sat promptly. Our server Shelby was great. The course selections for this menu were varied and should appeal to most people. The space is nice and energetic. We will return for their regular menu.

We had dinner at Novel while my friends were in town, and it was honestly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Kansas City. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely welcoming.
The food was incredible. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can tell there’s real intention behind the menu. The drinks were just as impressive, well crafted and perfectly balanced.
In my opinion, Novel is easily one of the absolute best restaurant options in Kansas City. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers on service, food, and overall experience, this is it.

A very cute and quaint little place. Food was amazing and so were the drinks! We tried the polenta appetizer, a pasta dish and the halibut. Not pictures is the bread and their delicious butter & hummus and we also got a taster of the crab bisque and a salad. They do spread dishes out a bit so you do not feel rushed which is nice.

Novel Restaurant in Kansas City completely stole our hearts during our anniversary dinner.
The space is beautifully designed with an intimate, thoughtful atmosphere, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable about both the menu and wine selections.
We made a reservation a week in advance (highly recommended, as it’s a small, popular spot) and found parking easily behind the restaurant. We started with the bread service — freshly baked, warm, and served with outstanding sea salt butter. The octopus was a true standout — tender, juicy, and perfectly prepared.
For entrées, the mushroom ravioli and scallops were both cooked to perfection. We ended the night with their pistachio cheesecake, which absolutely stole the show. Every dish was crafted with so much care, making the night feel extra special.
If you’re looking for an incredible dining experience in Kansas City, Novel is a must-visit. Just be sure to book ahead — walk-ins aren’t recommended!

Went in on a Saturday afternoon in Spring with a group of 4. We were able to be sat at the bar without a booking. We ordered wines by the glass, bread service, the Spanish Octopus and the Hamachi Crudo. Food was fresh and tasted amazing. Excellent texture and flavor! Service was lovely, attentive without being too much, wine was well priced by the glass and was a perfect spot for some share plates with friends. Reasonably priced for 2 drinks each and 3 plates to share was total $125 without tip.
Highly recommend. I’ll be back!

I had a reservation with my partner for his birthday on a very snowy, cold day, and we had such a wonderful time! The crew, despite it being a very slow night, was so attentive and fun, even giving us a personalized birthday card. The food was spectacular- we tried multiple small plates and entrees and loved every bite. They were very accommodating of dietary restrictions and happy to make recommendations. This was our first time dining here and we will definitely be back! We had such a great time!

If you enjoy fantastic craft cocktails in a great atmosphere you must visit Novel. Located on the east side of the crossroads we wish we would have tried it earlier because the drinks, food, and service were all top notch. We stopped in on Friday night before First Fridays and sat at the bar since we didn’t make a reservation. Every cocktail we had was packed with flavor and creativity. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful from the bar to the bathrooms to the patio. You can tell the owner really took the time to make this place stand out. We had the bread service and the toasted hummus was incredible. We are also a huge fan of brussel sprouts and they were some of the best we’ve had in KC if not the best! The dining room fills up quick so make sure to book a reservation!

We recently tried Novel because we’ve heard good things and have not tried it yet.
Overall, it was a good experience. The breakdown is below.
Food – I had the lamb chops and lamp sausage. The chops were good, but the sausage stole the show for me. Great balance of flavors that I could’ve eaten more of. My wife had the pork chop. She was disappointed in the amount of fat in the chop but was pleased with the flavor. It was a very big portion as well. We shared the bread service that is served with a side of hummus and salted butter. The rye bread we had was delicious. We also shared the fried cauliflower. This was our favorite dish of the night. Not one piece remained.
Overall food experience 4
Service – We were seated in a booth adjacent to the bar, so our server was one of the bartenders. He was very friendly. After finding out it was our first visit, he quickly walked us through the menu, suggested the bread service, and left us to decide on drinks. The cocktails were unique and delicious, and our service was spectacular. After dinner, we were offered a fresh brewed cup of coffee, which they roasted in house. Great finish to dinner. The dessert looked good, but we were too stuffed.
Overall Service Experience – 5
Atmosphere – The atmosphere is intimate in a small space. The art and design are minimalist. We enjoyed the restaurant. The only minor drawback for us was the closeness of the tables. We were seated at a two person table with a wall bench for seating on one side. The table next to us was close enough that it was difficult to exit our table and not interrupt the patrons seated next to us. We were close enough too that the couple next to us heard our conversation and commented . It’s not terrible, but I was a little less comfortable than I like for a higher end dinner.
Overall Atmosphere Experience – 3
I enjoyed Novel and expect to visit again. If you haven’t heen here, i recommend you give it a try.
