About

The American Restaurant was a fine-dining restaurant at the top of the Crown Center complex in Kansas City, Missouri. It opened on Valentine's Day 1974 in a glass-enclosed dining room designed by Warren Platner. Its chefs over the years included Debbie Gold and Michael Corvino. In 2018 the James Beard Foundation gave it the Design Icon Award because its original design had lasted and had shaped later restaurants.
