Best Fun Restaurants in Shawnee

The Wandering Vine at the Castle is always the perfect place for great food, beautiful surroundings, gracious wait staff, and relaxing dining. We started our brunch meal with the Pastry Board -- all made in-house and all pastries were delicious. The kitchen accommodated one of our guests with her vegan requirements, while the rest of us chose different entrees from the menu. All of us were quite pleased with the quality and taste of our choices. We also ordered specialty drinks with our meal -- including a non-alcoholic Pomegranate Punch -- and they were all perfect.

Our server seemed a bit annoyed by us. Otherwise, everything was delightful as usual.

My second lunch at Plate Italiano Moderno - Leawood. I was even more impressed this time. I ordered a pasta dish the first time and this visit the mushroom pizza was calling my name. It was delicious! To visit any restaurant during the holiday season I expect the noise level to be unbearable. I was pleasantly surprised that despite the number of large groups surrounding our two-top, we were able to converse fairly well.

Place was packed but our service was excellent and the well prepared food arrived promptly.

Phenomenal food and drinks. This was our 10yr Anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. We’ll be back, and with friends.
