Restaurants near World War Ii Memorial

We had a lovely evening celebrating our son’s birthday. The food, the wine and the experience was excellent. They even brought our son a complementary sweet treat after they asked if we were celebrating anything.

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!

Everything from start to finish was excellent! Kyler was one of the best severs we have ever had. Very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure we were happy throughout the entire experience. Food came out as ordered, beautifully presented and delicious. Will continue to return to one of our favorite restaurants in KC!

The food was delicious as always. This has become our “go to” restaurant when we want to have a great meal with excellent service.

It was amazing from beginning to end. Gaspar was the most professional server we've ever encountered. We enjoyed the lobster and crab cake, the KC Strip au poivre, and the seared scallops and lobster risotto. The blackberry sidecar was the cocktail of choice. The whole experience was luxuriously decadent, and Gaspar was wonderful to make sure our anniversary was so special. Thank you all!
