Welcome to Bluestem where an atmosphere of casual elegance and innovative cuisine invites everyone to relax and enjoy. The striking interior with simple charm is off set by flickering candlelight, white linen tables, and a soft glow through sheer window panels. 

Bluestem invites its guests to an unforgettable culinary experience with an intimate dining room, exquisite cuisine, and remarkable service.
Operated by chef-owners Colby and Megan Garrelts, Bluestem was their combined vision to bring “big city” dining to Kansas City in the spring of 2004.

The Garrelts have trained among some of America’s best chefs, taking them to such cities as New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. Together, with many years of culinary training Colby and Megan Garrelts have raised the standards of fine dining making Bluestem one of the top restaurants in Kansas City.

The unique menu features Progressive American cuisine using cutting edge technique and new varieties of American desserts. The award-winning wine list features sophisticated boutique wines from around the world. Bluestem strives to constantly evolve with new menu transitions, change of seasons, and a passion for outstanding ingredients.
