Dining room at The American Restaurant, Kansas City, MODebbie Gold is as passionate about designing intriguing, beautiful menus as she is about delivering impressive food to her loyal following. Luckily, she's at home in this sumptuous, glass-enclosed room that opens onto the Kansas City skyline. Seasonal yet often novel, Gold’s cooking reveals her skill in elevating dishes such as the buttery Campo Lindo chicken, or a deeply satisfying axis venison osso buco. Pay close attention to her entrée accompaniments: local succotash, candied cipollini or bourbon sweet potatoes. The wine list is extensive, and a select group of wines by the glass has a tie to Kansas City. White tablecloths, a hushed ambience and unhurried service enhance the experience.
