 Warehouse chic by yooperprof Joining the Freight House empire of excellent restaurants, the City Tavern is a welcome addition to K.C.'s food scene. I had a wonderfully decadent lunch here with with my wonderfully decadent local friends Maynard and Loula - it was a two bottle lunch between the three of us - followed by port! City Tavern boasts an outstanding and diverse wine list, the menu emphasizes fresh and classic seafood, and the atmosphere and service are first rate. It's also a nice place to come for a mid-afternoon cocktail. Happy hour starts early!

JJ's is one of the best restaurants in town for food quality and ambiance. Another is Starkers in Country Club Plaza area. JJ's is located at the Plaza also. The prices are $30-50 and the food is always very excellent. Club 427 is downtown and just another name with standard menu items to bring in the crowd. Food is okay. EBT can bust the budget, being probably the most expensive in town at $50-70. It is off I-435 at south end of town. Then there is the Union Cafe, trying to being people back into the old train station. It feels a bit stale to me, and always noisy. The ceilings are 60 feet and echos around the noise level. Prices are too high for the quality and value is not that good. Lastly, Savoy Grill is still being served by some waiters who have been there, I am sure for over 20 years. Food is pretty good, and you get a decent amount of it. Prices may run $30-40 normally. Try it just for seeing the unchanged decor dating back 40-50 years.

by basstbn Located within Kansas City's world class art museum, the Nelson-Atkins Gallery is the Rozelle Court Restaurant, a local favorite spot for lunch. Lighter fair prevails, but you can always find something interesting and tasty. Well known for unique salads, quiche, that sort of faire. It's a popular destination for Sunday brunch. Fashioned after an Italian courtyard, the Rozelle has been called "the prettiest restaurant in the midwest" by Travel Holiday * magazine. Live music (usually jazz) on Friday evenings - the only night the restaurant is open, and during the Sunday brunch (usually chamber music.)
It's been a long time since I last ate at the Rozelle, so I don't remember the food as much as the ambience.

If you are looking for a very good local and seasonal menu this is the place. The chef takes great pains to seek out and use the very finest local produce and the menu reflects this effort. It changes with the season and is always great. The lunch there is in my opinion consistantly the best in town. While not what I would call inexpensive it is certianly not the most expensive. It is spotlessly clean and the staff is well trained and attentive. If you seek to support local food eat here. The effort made to buy local is honest and the farm where your dinner came from is often on the menu. They walk the walk.
I have had the best salad here for lunch than anywhere else in town. I am an organic farmer and i could not have made a better one from my own garden.

by basstbn New Year's Eve's eve, we have a restaurant gift certificate that expires the next day, and Nancy and I would like to try a new eatery. So it's off to the Plaza area for dinner at the Grand Street Cafe. Not having reservations, we are offered the opportunity to sit at a bar-like table overlooking the kitchen. It was fascinating watching these guys at work - they were absolutely flying about, but completely organized. We kept waiting for a collision that never happened. To add to the enjoyment, we had only to look to our left to see the beautiful Christmas lights of the Country Club Plaza. What service! The amiable lady serving us was extremely knowledgable regarding the menu and the wine list, and other members of the wait staff were willing to come to our aid when needed.
I chose the maple-glazed duck, one of Grand Street Cafe's two signature dishes (the other being a humongous pork chop), a wise choice, indeed. Wonderful. It was served with broccolini and a zesty basmati rice/wild rice mixture. I was disappointed at the arrival of the French onion soup, seeing that it had only a small amount of grated cheese on it, but I quickly warmed up to the slightly sweet flavor. Nancy had wild (as opposed to farm-raised) rainbow trout, accompanied by broccolini and polenta that included bits of sun-dried tomatoes, preceded by a Caesar salad. She was well satisfied with her selection. Our server guided us to a cabernet sauvignon from the Russian River area of California, a perfect (for us, non-conoisseurs) accompaniment to the meal.

 picture courtesy of www.crowncenter.com by basstbn This restaurant has a great reputation for steaks and chops, but has a varied menu. It offers an elegant setting, a wonderful view of Kansas City's mid-town area, and painting's by Thomas Hart Benton, one of KC's best-known artists.
To be honest with you, this place is way out of my price range, and the only time I have eaten there was Sunday Brunch on a special occasion. It turned out to be extra special. The food was terrific, and there were so many choices that we absolutely over-indulged. Especially on their incredibly rich deserts. If this kind of thing is in your budget - go for it!

This is one of my favorite places to eat. They feature quality and class. When I had a business expense account, this was the place to go spend
Steaks are fabulous, but they also have a number of other well prepared plates. The lamb and veal are always good and seafood is offered. Prices for entrees range $25-40, ala carte. The restaurant is not that big, so get reservations. It is some of the better prepared plates, and the chef has style and elegant class in presentations. Price may be out of range for a lot of people, but be select; it is worth the visit.

 Description of restaurant-Entertainment book by BruceDunning, 1 more photos The presentation and ceremony is better than the food, but on the other hand the food is not bad, just not enough. The place still tries to convey it has class, but is getting stale. A loyal following still does frequent, however.
Beef Bourginon was the better plates to purchase. It had more substance and about 5 pieces of meat to eat. The vegetables that came along with it were fine. Fish dishes and veal were like appetizer samples. Just not enough food for the average American glutton. The crab soup had about 1/2 ounce of crab in it, and the rest was like warm milk base. Side salads cost around $9-12, and all appetizers are in range of $10-18. The main entrees were $25-35. Put it all together with a little wine and the average costs per person is $50-60 Theme: FrenchPrice: US$41 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 4603 90th, Prarie Village, KsPhone: 913-383-9801Directions: Going down Mission Road, turn at corner of 90th on east side.

The Marina Grog & Galley sits on Lake Lotawana and has a fabulous lake view. The perfect spot for a romantic dinner.

Another trip to Kansas City, another decadent lunch at Fou Frog with friends! I met colleagues from my days as a page at the Linda Hall Library (1988-90!) for a leisurely mid-day meal. This is a great place to linger over your meal and with a glass of French wine in front of you. Fou Frog - which has now been open in the burgeoning City Market neighborhood for almost a decade - is far from being stuffy or pretensious. The food is top-notch, but the setting and atmosphere is comfortable and informal. The menu regularly features a number of tradition beef and chicken favorates, but the real "catch" here are the fish and seafood specialties. The wine list is very good, with a number of reasonably priced vintages as well as some more expensive "classics." Think "White Burgundy"!
Any of the daily seafood specialities can be recommended - and the bouillabaisse is usually excellent. Leave a Comment
