Best Romantic Restaurants in Shawnee

This was the first time my wife and I had been to J. Gilbert's and it was a wonderful experience. I had the Kansas City strip; it was juicy and very flavorful; one of the best steaks I've ever had. My wife had the crab cakes and loved them. Only one downside in the whole meal; the crab bisque soup was just too salty! I should have sent it back. The desserts were very tasty and presented so nicely. I had the chocolate fudge cake; it was soooo good! Service was impecable! We will definitely be back to J Gilbert's.

They did a phenomenal job of treating my parents for their 30th anniversary dinner. They allowed us to leave a card on file and surprise my parents with the most extravagant date night. They even printed a special menu and had a 30th Anniversary dessert for them! I can’t wait to celebrate our family’s next occasion here. Thank you, 801 Chophouse!

Wonderful food and beautiful dishes. Very nice wine and beverage selections. It was very noisy last night and the place was full. Love this place and looking forward to coming back.

My ultimate test for a restaurant is if it randomly pops in my head weeks later as I relish the memory of the meal & experience. Wandering Vine at The Castle meets that test. I am still thinking about the savory bone-in pork chop with demi-glace sauce, the decadent chestnut mushrooms, and the perfectly intense cocoa of the layered chocolate cake. I'm not going to lie, a part of me anticipates huge disappointment for every sad attempt of pork chops or chocolate cake from any other restaurant here after until I can return. Congratulations to the chef, owner and staff for creating and sharing a truly remarkable dining experience at The Castle!

Over all a very pleasant dining experience. Good food, good service and reasonable prices. We highly recommend Houlihan's.
