Restaurants near Shawnee Mission Park

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.

We had not been to J. Gilbert's for a number of years. We found we had been missing one of KC's most wonderful dining experiences. The meal was outstanding and delicious with excellent steaks cooked strictly to order. J. Gilbert's has a large wine list which features varieties of all types at many price levels. Service was very, very good and great service is hard to find these days. The physical beauty, warmth and vibe are welcoming and charming. The place reminded me of how steakhouses used to be and how they should be now for today's guests.

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

Overall service and food was great. However, as unoccupied as it was later in the evening sitting a party of two next to two large groups seemed an odd choice making it difficult to hear for most of our meal.

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