Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in KC Power & Light District

Sooo nice! I was celebrating my birthday and the servers were all super nice. I was able to have such a good day! Plus the food and drinks are sooo good.

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!

Sam provided great service on a very busy Valentine’s. Food and drinks were very good, as expected. Restaurant was packed but mostly well organized.

Great experience as always. Great service, creative but value-conscious menu. Four of us dined with each having something different and each raving about the quality and tastiness of the food. Chef-created American dishes are fantastic and large portions so that you're not starving in two hours as you may be when eating chef-created dishes at other locations. Have always had great food, great service and great variety in food.

Food was exceptional. Service was perfect. Did not expect entrees to be served within minutes, but we had a 4:30 reservation so the staff and the chefs were ready for us. Felt that personal. Nicely done. Jackie should get a raise. Thanks.
