I ate at Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' new steakhouse, 1587 Prime. Our $800 dinner felt like more than just a meal.

As a longtime fan of the Chiefs and Taylor Swift, I was thrilled to visit Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' steakhouse, 1587 Prime.Kelsey HusonMy group of four tried Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' new restaurant in Kansas City, 1587 Prime.The dining experience felt special and the food was great. We ended up spending just under $800.I was impressed by the details, especially the presentation of themed cocktails and special dishes.Getting a reservation at Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' new restaurant, 1587 Prime, is no easy feat.Some have even compared scoring a table at the new Kansas City steakhouse to snagging coveted tickets to Taylor Swift's sold-out Eras Tour.Reservations dropped in August and, within minutes, tables seemed to be fully booked through late October. The restaurant wasn't even set to open its doors until late September.During that first drop, my group was lucky enough to secure a reservation for Saturday, October 18, when I'd be in town for a Chiefs game.For me, 1587 Prime was a must-visit spot.Kelsey HusonMahomes and Kelce cofounded the steakhouse in partnership with Noble 33, a hospitality company that specializes in fine-dining concepts.It was immediately on my radar because I'm a longtime fan of the Chiefs, and Kelce's been my favorite player for a decade. He also recently got engaged to Swift, an artist I love and have been following since her debut.On top of that, my husband and I enjoy trying different upscale steakhouses.Located inside the Loews Hotel in downtown Kansas City, 1587 Prime officially opened to the public on September 17.My first impression of the restaurant can be summarized in one word: luxurious.With its marble doorway and gold accents, the restaurant gave me quite the first impression before I'd even walked through the large double doors.The restaurant's atmosphere felt lively but intimate.Kelsey HusonThe steakhouse has several dining guidelines in place, such as a request for "business casual or dressy evening wear" and no children under the age of 16 after 7 p.m., so my expectations for a top-notch experience were high.As I entered, I was met with large cuts of meat displayed in glass-front cases, an illuminated marble staircase, and walls lined with bottles of wine.Its ambiance felt thoughtfully curated.Kelsey HusonApparently, 1587 Prime has live musical performances every night.The band playing during our Saturday night dinner was fabulous. We appreciated that they performed at a volume that entertained us but never made us feel like our meal was being interrupted.The band would play a few songs, then take a short break, switching between live music and a well-curated playlist. The jazz and R&B selections were a hit — our party even stopped conversation to comment on the music on several occasions.The cocktail list felt like the perfect homage to Kansas City.Kelsey HusonAs the decor seemed to hint at, 1587 Prime offered an impressive selection of beverages.Most of the cocktails — around $18 to $25 a pop — were a nod to the Chiefs or Kansas City itself.The Players section of the cocktail menu featured four drinks for the cofounders and their leading ladies: Showtime, a nod to Mahomes' nickname; Big Yeti, one of Kelce's nicknames; Queen B, a tribute to Mahomes' wife, Brittany; and The Alchemy, titled after a song on Swift's album "The Tortured Poet's Department."Diners could also order a custom-crafted drink from the martini cart, as well as mocktails, beers, or a glass from an extensive list of over 100 different wines.Special presentations made our drinks felt extra elevated.The Alchemy (left) was sparkling at our table, and Big Yeti (right) had a special ice cube.Kelsey HusonThe Swiftie in me couldn't pass up The Alchemy, and I'm glad I didn't, since it was more than just a drink — it was an experience.Upon delivery, the base of the vodka drink was set on fire, and we watched in awe as it sparkled. The cocktail itself was smooth, fruity, and light.We also ordered the Big Yeti, a play on an old-fashioned. It was brought to our table in a smoked decanter with a glass containing an ice cube imprinted with "1587."The server poured the smoky brown liquid over ice and then coated the rim of the glass with an orange peel. It tasted sweeter than a typical old-fashioned, but still delicious.It was tough to decide what to order.cocktails and breadKelsey HusonWe were served complimentary bread to start, but I wanted to save room for all of the food we'd be ordering, so I didn't try it. The half of my party who did said it was good, though.The menu featured steaks as we expected, plus several other seafood and land options. The menu felt pretty approachable, and prices felt comparable to those of many upscale steakhouses.Soups, salads, and appetizers generally cost between $16 and $40, and some seafood dishes were listed for market price.We went with two appetizers.AppetizersKelsey HusonWe started with Togarashi fried chicken ($25) and jumbo lump crab cakes ($36).The pan-seared crab cakes felt like a great value, even though there were only three. The tartar sauce and blistered-tomato relish paired nicely with the cakes, which seemed like they were 85% crabmeat.The chicken came with five chicken strips and a trio of honey sauces — truffle, hot, and wasabi. All of them were delicious.Once again, we were impressed by how our food was served and plated.Kelsey HusonFor the entrée, I got twin lobster tails ($76), and my husband ordered the 6-ounce Japanese A5 wagyu strip ($125) and added the tableside flambé experience for $27.When our entrées came, staff rolled a cart over to our table and flambéed a mixture of brandy, bone-marrow butter, and herbs before drizzling it over the steak.Again, the experience? Unmatched.Our meals and sides didn't disappoint.Kelsey HusonThe rest of our party was also split between surf and turf, choosing the diver scallops ($48) and another 6-ounce order of the highest grade of wagyu — this one with bleu-cheese butter for an extra $7.Each entrée was incredible. The steak and scallops melted in our mouths like butter, and the lobster had a unique smoky char to it.The sides are shareable, so we split truffle fries ($16), honey-glazed grilled carrots ($16), and the twice-baked potato ($24).All in all, we didn't have a single bad dish.We ended our epic dinner with two desserts.Kelsey HusonThe Victory Formation menu features a list of desserts, from carrot cake to apple pie, and alcoholic pairings to go with them.For dessert, we ordered two cast-iron chocolate-chip cookies with vanilla ice cream for $16 each.Each cookie was served warm in miniature skillets and was gooey and rich. The ice cream added a cool creaminess, making it a well-rounded dessert and the perfect finish to a great meal.Every detail, from themed cocktail names to the mirror selfie spot, seemed well thought out.Kelsey HusonI could tell how much thought went into so many parts of the restaurant, from its mirror with perfect lighting for selfies to its menu's fun details for locals and fans of Mahomes, Kelce, and the Chiefs.For example, Mahomes' signature drink contains Coors Light syrup (he's endorsed the beer for years) and diners can add a Mahomes ketchup flight to their steak (he famously puts ketchup on his steak).1587 Prime also serves Garage Beer, an Ohio-based brewing company that Travis and his brother Jason, announced part ownership of last year.Plus, I appreciated that the menu features local businesses, like desserts from McLain's Bakery and drinks from Boulevard Brewing Co., one of my favorite spots in Kansas City.This level of service, dining, and experience comes at a hefty price tag.Kelsey HusonThe restaurant describes itself as a "contemporary steakhouse with Kansas City spirit." It really did feel like a high-end slice of the city between its local offerings and lively, elegant vibe.That said, it's not cheap. Our group of four spent just under $800 before tip on six cocktails, two appetizers, four entrées, three sides, and two desserts, plus a few add-ons (like the flambé experience and bleu-cheese butter).We were also able to save $50 on our meal using an offer I'd found online. When all was said and done, my husband and I spent about $427 on our half of the bill.Here's the thing: We went into this meal knowing it would be a special experience and splurge. And I have to say, 1587 Prime did not disappoint.Would I order this much on a normal night out? No. Would I go here on an average weekday? Also, no — but, let's be honest, if I could afford to … yes.However, I'm so happy we went, and I'd absolutely recommend this spot to others looking for a meal that combines delicious food with a memorable experience. If I have the chance to go back, I will.Read the original article on Business Insider
