Great place to eat. The food is always amazing. I've ate there with my husband for a lunch date, with family for Mother's Day and with my two small children. The menu changes with the seasons, but a few regulars stay on the menu. It has a nice setting inside the mall. Simple decor and you can watch the cooks prepare your food.
Excellent grilled cheese, fabulous fries, the burgers are quite tasty and they have deviled eggs, for gosh sakes.
Deviled eggs and fallafal incredible and half price till 6. Great specialty drinks. Dogs ok on the sidewalk. Just about perfect.
somone at the pitch should update the menu on the their website is is obviously still the old kennedys crap menu!
http://cheesecakefactorymenu.com has great healthy menu selections for you to choose on.
Comfort food with a flair. Local place for us, and we take guests there regularly. Never had a bad experience, and the wait staff are, well, fun! Sometimes a little loud, but a small price to pay for glorious gluttony.
We really enjoyed it. The small dinning room ambiance and food were much better than most large Plaza restaurants.
We had seared scallops in a mushroom risotto w/ asparagus and a chicken pot pie.
The Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding was amazing! We will go back for this alone.
The only downsides were some of the food tended to be a tad too salty and there seemed little other choice to drink. We do not drink cocktails or wine. I had an iced tea but it didn't taste right.
I would be happy to give them 4 stars, as their food is good, but be prepared for the slow and spotty service. I have eaten there 10 - 15 times (they are very conveniently located for me at lunchtime) since they opened, but I don't go more often because it takes so long. Also, there are not many lowfat options - lots of deliciously unhealthy ones though!
The Classic Cookie & Cafe is all about tasty goodness, quality and genuine customer care. Going to their place is always a treat for our family. We always look forward to our weekly stopovers because they provide some of the best treats.
Comfort. Food.
Really, what's more to say? Amazing burgers, great fried pickles, and the meatloaf sandwich .......ooooooooohhhh!
Sassy/friendly wait staff, big portions, friendly bartenders. Sometimes loud; and the upstairs deck in summer? Did someone say "Happy Hour"?
Take a group of friends or work associates for a nice break from the chaos of the week for Thirsty Thursdays at the Castle....Enjoy the live music and ever changing fresh menu choices...Take a tour if you like.....Nice change of pace from the typically bar scene
It's a different atmosphere in Kansas City.....It's a castle! Beautiful patio for drinks or dine inside. The menu on Thursday's is a static farm fresh menu, so check the web site, but the chef will try to make anything you wish incase you have allergies.
It's the best hidden spot in Kansas City!
Open only Thursdays for a Happy Hour Menu 5:30-8:30pm and Sundays for an al la carte brunch
My last visit to Trio was about a week ago and the entire experience was typical - exceptional food & service. Took a business associate for drinks after work and since he is also a Trio fan as well -neither of us needed to be impressed, but we were. Cocktails were created exactly as we ordered them [both of us just a tad fussy] and we shared the hummus plate appetizer as well as the Seared Ahi Tuna small plate. The new Asian style preparation with tuna sesame encrusted and served over a bed of soba noodles & fresh seaweed salad is light & refreshing for a hot summer evening. And our service was attentive and friendly despite the demanding happy hour crowd and heat. It's my go to spot for business lunches & dinners.
Gem of Kansas City dining scene! This is our favorite restaurant for the ambiance, service and great food! Alice Jenkins on the piano is just lovely!
Our group of 12 ladies had happy hour at Cafe Trio on a Tuesday evening! What a great time! Half price wine and the service was perfect! We didn't order any entrees (little too pricey for us) but had a bunch of their small plates and appetizers which was just yummy! Will definitely be back for happy hour and dinner soon.
Love this place! Very classy and the service staff is so very personable. We sat on the deck overlooking the plaza and had the best evening out in a long time. The food was fantastic and the drinks are fun. By far the best restaurant on the plaza!
Cafe Trio is one of Kansas City's very best locally owned restaurants. It has become my family's "go to" restaurant to entertain friends and guests from out of town - and I love the combination of local art, music and food. If you get a chance try to get a table on the patio that overlooks the Plaza (if its not too hot).
I personally LOVE Blanc. The hostesses at the Leawood location are always so friendly and charming! The restaurant is busy every time I go, so I can see why most of the reviewers mentioned curt waiters. The flavor and unique presentation (the fun shopping-cart fry holders) can only be found at Blanc. I highly, highly recommend Blanc if you want to experience unique and delicious Kansas City cuisine.
We try JG last night, and I don't know, it just seemed OK, nothing special. We waited at the bar for a half hour and had a drink, it was fine. Then we were seated in a strange center room for dinner, was it light blue or white, not sure because the lighting was so eerie. There was nothing on the walls except marks where the chair had rubbed off their paint. Hardly inviting, and I won't lie to you, the room tainted my view of the entire night. And there were TVs all over the place, they just didn't fit in a dining area. OK so then the food came, again, it was fine, nothing exceptional, and the plating was uninspiring. The rotisserie chicken was moist, but a bit boring. The vegetarian plate was weird, just 5 random sides on a plate. And I don't know why the Pitch says it's "vegetarian friendly", because there's that and a few side salads for vegetarians, that's it! The "come back" sauce is pretty much the same stuff that you would find with any "bloomin' onion" type dish. And the place is really loud. The prices are fair, service was good, but... I just don't see us going back when there are so many better place in the area that are better than just OK.
