“Small cozy restaurant with amazing food and great service. We had a dinner for our group of 22 and everyone was happy with the choice. My sea bass was exquisite, for appetizers we had bruschetta and chipotle black bean dip. Delicious! I would have preferred the bruschetta with raw tomatoes (not cooked) and more basil taste, but it was good. Great culinary experience!“
“In town on business and ran across this gem. Great experience. Beyond large wine selection and variety of food. Small plates and full menu - excellent . Must go if you are in the area. Staff are top notch and very knowledgeable. Great vibe.“
“After trying this place recently I have been back mutliple times. Nearly every menu item I tried was outstanding. It's hard to find their menu online, as their website apparently has virus or malware issues, and they are not particularly active with updates on social media. Everyone with whom I have interacted, including the owner, has been warm, inviting and appreciative of guests. I have always enjoyed my experiences. As someone who loves great cocktails, I did have a mixed experience. This is admittedly my own pet peeve, but I am not fan of cutesy drink names. I like an Old Fashioned to just be called that. It was a great drink though. The "Nanhattan" was also delicious, though I would maintain that it too was an Old Fashioned, as banana liqueur is more a replacement of simple syrup than of sweet vermouth. The "Dark Side of the Moon" cocktail on the other hand was a huge miss, being sickeningly sweet. I also noticed they charge $32 for a 1 oz pour of Blanton's bourbon (which I have seen priced from $18 to $30 for a 2 oz pour at other restaurants around the metro). Hopefully over time they will fill out the bar shelves, which are currently very sparse, with more options. The food presentation has been inconsistent. The first time I tried a short rib (no longer available) it was absolutely perfect. The next time I had it, the crispy herb leaf was missing. It's a small detail but it was such a fun, tasty addition the first time. Similarly, the aloo chaat, which is even described on the menu as featuring smashed fingerling potato, was absolutely delicious the first times I had it, but on a later visit the potatoes were served unsmahsed. This completely altered the texture and was not at all enjoyable. My wife was a bit bummed out by the very sad-faced leopard behind the bar. Despite my commenting on some negatives, I actually love this place and suggest that everyone give it multiple visits.“
“March 2024Following a show at Aztec, it made perfect sense to return here with my wife and parents. They never disappoint. Lovely atmosphere, always very friendly staff, and beautiful food. I enjoyed the lobster bisque but was especially blown away by the lobster pasta. Wandering Vine’s chef is truly creative and I greatly admire her colorful original plating.June 2023My parents enjoyed Wandering Vine so much that we were all excited to go back when they were in town over the weekend. Funny enough, we ate at the same table where we sat last time. This place certainly has a unique charm to it, with a nice atmosphere that you won't quite find anywhere else. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and our service was wonderful. I had the braised lamb shoulder pasta. It was cooked to perfection and the flavors were fantastic. The toasted pine nuts were a nice touch. The only thing I would have changed is substituting the edamame for something else. It added nice color, but it was a little too much crunch for my taste. My wife had the special, which was goat cheese cavatelli pasta with crab meat. Absolutely delicious. My dad enjoyed the filet mignon and we all enjoyed our wine flights--one of my favorite things about this restaurant. Mine included wines from Argentina, France, and Washington. We didn't save room for dessert, but we did get a taste of the gazpacho, which was very flavorful with a nice kick to it. They are rotating their menu in a few weeks, so definitely reason to return.Feb. 2023Had dinner here with my wife and parents and we LOVED it. Sometimes it can be hard to find a place that satisfies both of my parents but we all thought the food was delicious and original. The staff was extremely friendly and professional as well. The place itself is quite unique too and I would recommend it for a nice romantic dinner. We can't wait to go back.“
“The food is fantastic. High quality ingredients, extremely well-prepared, and often a creative twist. The space is very obviously an old Mexican restaurant so if you are looking for upscale ambience with cloth napkins this is not it however….the food is truly excellent. The waitstaff is friendly, the chef/owner is usually on site, and everything is very clean. Heartily recommend!“
“I wish I could give this place 6 stars. They deserve it. Me and the wife tried the one down in Dallas and loved it so when we found out there was one closer. We wanted to try it too, and today was the day. They was extremely flexible with our reservation (originally made for 730, they us change it to 6.)The server was great, friendly and professional and made awesome suggestions.The manager came out to let us know that one of the meals was over done, so it was going to be a few more minutes, and offered us free salads or soups.My wife had the lamb, which we both would recommend 100% I had the filet this time which was equally good. I had the Asparagus soup, which reminded me of a richer broccoli and cheese soup. We also had the Ahi Tartare, normally not my thing, but wanted to try something different, it didn't disappoint, if you like Ahi, I'd recommend.“

“Food and cocktails are exceptional. A nice variety of small plates and larger meals. Especially love the paella to share. The saffron broth and smoked Andouille sausage is so good. The smoked old fashioned is expensive but worth it. Veritas is my new favorite restaurant.“
“This is a hidden gem in Johnson County! Intimate cocktail bar with an amazing vibe. The only place around with an extensive Mocktail (Non-alcohol) menu! Great for a unique couple outing or meetup with a friend. Staff is professional and great!“
“Was really good! Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Came in during Sunday happy hour after 4 and was told all cocktails are $2 off, however got charged full price for one of hours. Bartender was too busy to ask about it after we got the itemized receipt. Overall, delicious. Just wish we would have gotten the full special.“
“I came here on a Friday evening for drinks and appetizers. We each ordered a wine flight and shared the bruschetta. Every flight had a creative name and description. For example, the vegan white wine flight I ordered was called "No Eggshells". All three wines were refreshing and delicious. I do have to say that the wine flights are on the pricey side, ranging from $25-$50. However, it is a great way to try a variety of wines. You could also order a bottle of wine to share that would be about the same price. The bruschetta was tasty; we were able to choose three different toppings. We chose the smoked salmon, classic tomato, and burrata with honey. Overall, this is a nice spot to meet up with some girlfriends or for a date night. The seating is comfortable, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the wine and appetizers are good.“
“The service is absolutely outstanding. if you can, order some tots! the staff was super friendly and great with recommendations from the moment we went in the door. coming in was an impulsive decision and now we will be there every time we visit the barber across the street“
“So I am a big fan of Plates in brookside, however it's been 2 years since the Leawood location opened and we decided to give it a try .. congratulations to the staff at both locations who make every guests feel like family . Thank you for instill the best customer service in your staff.. Different vibes but the food didn't disappoint!

To Kenny , our waiter , only 3 weeks into the restaurant, I can tell you care deeply about your job and bravo to you to take such good care of us .“
“Amazing place loved it me and my wife got to experience the igloo and the inside dining and wow every dish was fantastic great presentation and so delicious great selection of beverages and our server I believe was Kelsey helped us out and made sure our night was amazing highly recommend you visit at least once if you are near the views alone is a must“
“Best experience I've had! Valet parking was amazing. Upon arrival staff all greeted us with a small. Our waiter was amazing and very professional. Food was amazing. The table set up was simple but meant so much to us for my husband special day. I will be back and look forward spreading the word.“
“Based on my son's recommendation, we decided to try this Fortune Wok. We had a very good experience. Service was great, and portions were large. My only complaint was with the Egg Drop Soup. It was not as rich and flavorful as others I have tried. It had bits of chicken and carrots and was just OK.“
“My wife and I can not say enough great things about Coach’s….. From the very friendly staff, amazing food and comfortable atmosphere. Look no further for the perfect place and for an amazing experience! The restaurant that you’ll always look forward to returning to.“
“We were in town visiting from out of state, and just stopped in for a cocktail. We sat at the bar, and were greeted promptly! Very friendly and warm atmosphere! Looked over the menu out of curiosity, and both agreed we’d definitely come back to eat here when in town again! We enjoyed our experience very much!“
“The food, drinks and service are always outstanding. The last two times we've dined here the noise level is so high that we can barely talk to one another. I'm sure it has to do with the proximity of the tables and some voices just being more pervasive than others. It's concerning and will inform our decision going forward.“
“This place is the perfect storm of nice steakhouse food and decor mixed with good music and a lively atmosphere. The waitstaff was laid back, friendly, and extremely sociable. I ended up here by reccomendation and it has now become a destination for me whenever I'm in the area. I wish I had taken more pics but I was too wrapped up in the moment, enjoying the experience to do so. Pictured is the black and blue ribeye with the green beans subbed out for rice. Not (fully) pictured is the plate of asparagus that also came with it.“
“I've been hearing about the Shake Shack from my friend who lives in the KC metro area so I decided to give it a spin and was definitely impressed with their Burgers. I pulled up and parked not knowing what to expect. I was hungrier than a hostage and ready for dinner. When I walked in I seen all these screens to my left but I ordered my meal the old school way via thru another human. I paid about 18 dollars I believe for the Bacon Cheeseburger with a no salt Crinkle Fry and large drink. I was able to get my own drink from their Soda fountain which serves Coke products only. I liked how everything seemed simple. I wish I could of got close up pictures of the wall Menu and will next time I'm there. It took about 8-10 mins to get my order so I knew it was going to be fresh. The buns they use for their Burgers are beyond tasty and delicious. Best bun ever and the Burger itself with the melted cheese and Applewood Bacon was givin me summertime vibes. The fries were Crispy and I never wanted them to end either. I ate my meal outdoors since it wasn't to cool yet and they have plenty of seating outside and for the inside, there's a dining area that has a long wall that splits the tables from the soda machine. It reminded me of a wall you'd see in a prison movie but this place had nothing but pleasant people and staff so I felt comfortable and safe there. They even had a waterbowl for your dog outside but I didn't let my Lil doggy partake cause you just never know but the water looked very clean and fresh. And what I also liked was the Two, yes two, Cornhole beanbag toss games you could play with a friend or date. I will definitely be going back up here soon just to get a burger. The only complaint I have is I wish the Burger was a little bigger but maybe I ordered the smaller one and didn't realize it. The Shake Shack is a definite Homerun and a serious contender in the Burger Wars. Their food speaks for itself and I will be trying a Shake next time to let you all know. Please don't overlook this place cause you won't be disappointed when you go.Parking: Parking right in the front and easy to find a spot. It wasn't super busy yet so it could be different during rush time.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat concrete by entrance and handicapp parking is close to the entrance.“
“Clean and fresh ingredients. A bit pricey but tasty.Vegetarian options: Lots of salads and fresh veggies.Parking: Nightime and weekend parking are more difficult because more people are out shopping sharing the lot with retail establishments?“
“Sierra Grill is an absolute gem in Lenexa, Kansas at City Center. Every time I step foot into this restaurant, I'm greeted by the intoxicating aroma of wood-fired goodness that permeates the air. You can truly taste the dedication to freshness and quality in every bite, as everything is made from scratch.Having had the pleasure of chatting with the head chef and owner, I was blown away by their commitment to excellence. They take pride in sourcing only the freshest meats and fish, hand-cutting everything to ensure top-notch flavor and texture. It's no wonder their dishes, like the braised short ribs, steak, grilled halibut, and scallops, burst with flavor and melt in your mouth.But Sierra Grill isn't just about the incredible food; it's about the entire experience. Happy hour on the spacious patio is an absolute delight, with great deals on drinks and delicious bar bites.The staff, from servers to bartenders, are not only seasoned professionals but also incredibly friendly, making every visit feel like a warm welcome home as they remember your face.And let's not forget about their extensive wine and bourbon lineup, perfect for those looking to explore new varietals and complement their meal with the perfect glass.Sierra Grill is more than just a steak or seafood restaurant; it's a culinary journey that leaves you craving more with each visit. If you're in Overland Park, Shawnee, Leawood, Mission or Lenexa, do yourself a favor and experience the magic of their scratch kitchen and entrepreneurial dedication firsthand.
