Restaurants near Cinemark Palace at the Plaza

Eddie V's continues to have excellent food across the board, but it is very pricey (expect ~$100 a person before tax and tip for dinner and drinks). However, the staff, ambiance, food and drinks are all top-notch. Great wine menu but no beers on tap if that's your thing. Our waiter recommended the seabass with a side of the crab fried rice and it was outstanding. Also would highly recommend the lemon tart.

Perhaps the best Happy Hour I have ever had, definitely in the top three. Our server, Hannah, and the rest of the staff at Ocean Prime KC were amazing. Phenomenal drink specials: Berries and Bubbles is my wife's favorite. I had the Reposoado Paper Plane and several Yuzu Sours. I highly recommend them. The happy hour food specials are amazing, whatever you order. Of particular note, the Smoked Gouda Tater Tots are amazeballs, as is the Hamachi Crudo.

Nice environment for Christmas Eve. The service was great and the food was fine.

Wonderful night on the plaza, it was Christmas Eve, the afternoon crowd was perfectly controlled.

Always such a good time. Great atmosphere, great food and great drinks. My husband recently found out he’s gluten intolerant and they have a lot of gluten free options noted on the menu. Our server was great at answering any questions we had. The “D” Cup cocktail was yummy and definitely would get again. We tried the steak tartare and a couple rolls to start and all were fantastic. Too many good entrees to list that we like but you can’t go wrong with any. This is a restaurant we will continue to visit every year over Christmas when in town!
