    Grünauer offers an "authentic Austrian dining experience" with delicious Viennese cuisine and an impressive German beer selection. Guests rave about the "fantastic service" and cozy ambiance. The outdoor biergarten is a must, despite occasional rail noise. Known for its "world-class schnitzel," Grünauer is a Kansas City gem for both locals and visitors.

      Grunauer is one of our favorite spots in Kansas City! The service is outstanding - they always go the extra mile to see that we're happy. The food is delicious 10/10. Already looking forward to our next visit.

      Starting with a dry sherry and ending with a cafe au lait and a Pavlova, dinner was stupendous. We both had the Wiener schnitzel, which was delicious with the lingonberries. The soup de jour was cream of mushroom - we were happy we ordered it.
