The Belfry Collective is Kansas City’s destination for award-winning dining, craft cocktails, whiskey, and private events. Founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Celina Tio, our four unique venues — The Belfry, Gerard’s Pool Hall, Ground Control, and Wolf Den — offer something for everyone, from intimate tastings to lively game nights.
Our Next Inspired Tasting Menu featuring
Chef Michael Foust
May 8th and 9th, 2026
It has been some time since Michael closed Black Sheep, but when he moved back to town after a short hiatus, we got together for some snacks and chatted for hours. It was there that he said he missed cooking everyday and I immediately thought, hmm… So here we are. Join us to savor his delicious food, hear some stories, and find out what he’s been up to!
Strawberry and Grilled Kale Salad
goat cheese croutons and toasted millet
Asparagus and Leek Soup
crispy leeks and chilis crisp
Rabbit Pot Pie
Smoked Blueberry Salmon
crispy potatoes, wilted spinach, and red wine blueberries
Mayday Maypole Cake
Macerated berries, whipped Green Dirt Basa
$120 per person. Because space is limited, we now require a $25 per person deposit for all special event reservations. A deposit link will be emailed to you after you book your spot. I suspect this will be a quick sell out! And if it does, Michael has graciously offered to add on a Thursday service, too! As always, the space will be open at 6:30PM where John will be showing off his new spring cocktails and we will get going as a group at 7PM.
We always look forward to hosting you!
