Deviled eggs and fallafal incredible and half price till 6. Great specialty drinks. Dogs ok on the sidewalk. Just about perfect.
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.
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.
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.
I have eaten at virtually every restaurant in the greater Kansas City area, and simply nothing compares to the food at the Drop. I have eaten more expensive food, but never more creative cuisine. Last night for example, I had the coffee crusted rib eye. To be honest, I thought that there would be no way that the coffee wouldn't overpower the taste of everything else on the plate....boy was I wrong. Chef Kelli Daniels constantly surprises me with her innovation, balance and quality of cuisine. I LOVE THE DROP!

Our party had a wonderful lunch and the service was great!
The only minor disappointment was my ceaser salad, a tad too much dressing, soupy by the end of the meal.
The restaurant decor is beautiful, a great addition to the neighborhood.Very family friendly - my 2-year old grandaughter and 3 week old granddaughter joined us and they were treated royally!
Thanks for a very nice dining experience...I'll be back, there are so many entrees to choose from, want to try more.

My wife and I have visited Shield's Manor a half dozen times. This elegant, out of the way, bisto is great! The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is super. Food? Every meal we've had there is outstanding. With DeDe cooking and Max running the dining room, it is a great experience . . . and yes, you'll get to know them by their first names.
I highly recommend it if you're looking for an elegant experience and great food!

My wife and I have visited Shield's Manor about a half dozen times. This little, out of the way, bistro is really great! Service is impeccable, atmosphere is quiet and elegant. The owners are very visible, with DeDe doing the cooking and Max running the dining room. Yes, you'll all get to know them by their first names . . . it's that kind of place. Did I mention the food is excellent?
I recommend it for any occasion, but especially when you want an elegant, romantic dining experience.

As a burger connessieur I must say, "I have yet to consume a burger as good as the one I had at Blanc on Friday night. Believe me, I've had my share of Midwestern beef patties; I grew up in Nebraska where beef, without fail, was the center-star of every other meal eaten. Anyway, now that I've disclosed my beef eating history, let's get back to back to the juicy stuff. Blanc is a gourmet burger venue which serves up specialty burgers, fries, onion rings, and also offers a few salads for the calorie-conscious individuals. It has a long list of bottled beers, sodas, and an extensive selection of wines. I've been to Blanc twice now; the first trip I went with two others on a Sunday afternoon, we all ended up ordering a different lunch combo. I steered clear from red meat the first round, and opted for the lentil curry burger and sweet potato fries. Oh boy-- Boca Burgers could go bankrupt if this patty went to to the supermarket. The pattie was bursting with assorted veggies, lentils, and the perfect amount of curry flavor. It was served with some exotic toppings, which I don't recall, and then piled on a locally produced whole-grain bun. The sweet potato fries were thinly cut, super crispy, and were generously seasoned. For those who who like to dip, you're in luck, all patties and fries are served with homemade ketchup, creamy Dijon mustard, and a chipotle aioli.
My second experience with Blanc was on a Friday night, our party of 8 thought chances were slim to none of snagging a table at 7pm. We were right, and ended up waiting until 8:30 before we were seated at our white set of tables and chairs, hence the name Blanc. Tonight I had my heart set on the Au Poivre burger; this consisted of a 1/2 pound peppercorn and salt crusted beef patty seared to a perfect medium, and then adorned with peppercorn sauce, watercress greens, grilled onions, and set on top a brioche bun. Another lovely selection, I must admit.
Besides these items other picks from the menu include: The Inside-out-Burger(stuffed with blue cheese and bacon--which I anticipate trying next), The Classic, Turkey, Mahi-Mahi, Buffalo, and the lethal Kobe patty. I don't have enough time to describe the goodness of these burgers, so you'll have to see for yourself what goes into them. I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

Loved the food, our server Mandy was great. Totally relaxed. The drink and food selections were fantastic! My husband's kobe beef burger was actually cooked to the perfect temperature, and I loved my lentil burger and sweet potato frieds. Nice job, "Drop" boys!

Re: “Classic Cookie”
It's the coziest, most charming place for breakfast or lunch! If you order lunch, you automatically receive a basket of the most delicious muffins & cookies. The place is popular, so we usually wait a bit for a table, but not too long -- and it's always worth it. Such a lovely place with the BEST home cookin'!
