    I recently dined at Grunauer and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. I started with the lobster bisque, which was rich, creamy, and full of deep seafood flavors. It had a smooth texture with just the right balance of seasoning. Next, I tried the sweet potato soup, which was a pleasant surprise—velvety, slightly sweet, and well-spiced, making it a comforting and flavorful choice. For the main course, I had the salmon, which was perfectly cooked—moist on the inside with a beautifully crisp exterior. The seasoning complemented the natural flavor of the fish without overpowering it. The dish was well-plated and paired nicely with the sides. Overall, the service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. Grunauer truly delivers on quality and flavor, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refined yet hearty dining experience in Kansas City. I’ll definitely be returning!

    The reason to visit Toms Town distillery is for their amazing cocktails. The food is good but not the same level as the cocktails. The atmosphere is cozy and laidback. The service was excellent.

    This was our first time at Lazia. Everything was perfection. Our server, Cheyanne, was fantastic. She was attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered focaccia bread and the wedge first. Both items - the best we’ve ever tasted. For our entree, we ordered the ribeye and potatoes. Also delicious. The atmosphere was amazing. The restaurant was busy (Valentines Day) but the service was super prompt and the food was hot. We had the raspberry chocolate dessert and the lemon dessert. Both fabulous. We WILL be back. Thank you, Cheyanne and Lazia, for a truly wonderful experience!
