When Stock Hill steak house opened in the South Plaza in late 2016, it was one of the largest restaurants in the metro, and one of the most elegant.
Now it has a more laid-back space, The Mezz at Stock Hill, on the second floor mezzanine overlooking The Lounge.
Summer is not the best period for steak houses, says Alan Gaylin, owner and founder of Stock Hill.
“Summer in general for restaurants [is not a good time] with people going on vacation to the lake,” Gaylin says. “This is something for new guests and our existing clients to drop by more often. The menu is more approachable on the price side. Summer comfort food.”
Executive chef Jacob Hilbert’s Mezz menu includes crab and avocado spring rolls, a brie board, KC BBQ wings, triple-cooked fries, East + West Oysters, Caesar salad, BLT Mac with lobster, smoked brisket, catfish and KC Wagyu cheesesteak.
Customers can also order drinks including the restaurant’s signature cocktails such as the KC Steakhouse Punch which includes four rosé wines and apple whiskey, and the Ruby Slipper with prosecco, aperol, grapefruit and sage.
The Mezz is open from 4 to 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays. The menu also is available on the patio.
In 2016, Stock Hill took a space on the first level of the renovated former Board of Trade building at 4800 Main St., Suite G-001. The 14,000-square-foot restaurant has a two-story dining room, The Lounge bar area, and outdoor terrace. It offers live music from 8 to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays in The lounge.
