Chef Michael Corvino and his wife embarked on their first owner/operator establishment in Kansas City’s historic Crossroads Arts District with Corvino Supper Club & Tasting Room. The restaurant was purposefully designed to take a back seat to the cuisine. A palette of subdued tones, natural materials and shades of charcoal gray allow the creativity of the plates to take priority.

Our team embraced the imposing presence of four 58” cast-in-place structural columns, using them as organizational columns to frame the dining room and bar, capped by a small stage for live music. Patrons enter the restaurant “backstage” - a compressed zone that  sets the tone and slows the pace. The stage features a custom feature wall of darkly-stained end-grain wood cuts. The feature wall is made from a solid walnut log, sliced into planks and connected with steel rods. The reception desk, bar and dining room tables were also designed and fabricated by the design team.
