Restaurants near J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain

We dined at McCormick's & Schmick's on December 23rd with a reservation for an anniversary celebration. The meal and service were wonderful! However, we were seated in the back room with no view. With reservations and with advanced notice of a special occasion, we would have expected a table with more ambiance rather than stuck in the back room. There was also a table of 3 (with reservations) that checked in after us, they were seated before us and they were seated in the main front dining area; seems reservations should receive priority seating.

I recently visited Cooper Hawk's, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The ambiance was great—warm, inviting, and perfect for a casual night out. However, I couldn’t help but notice dust on the shelves along the walls. It was pretty obvious that they hadn’t been dusted in weeks, which took away from the otherwise clean and cozy atmosphere. As for the food, it was tasty, but we didn’t try any wine on this visit. I don’t know if we will be back, but hopefully, they'll pay a bit more attention to the details in the future.

Seated as we walked in. Great food, friendly staff.

We enjoyed having Lillian as our waitress. She was kind and sociable and her recommendation for the apple salad was a perfect appetizer to our lunch.
