Best American Restaurants in Lansing/Leavenworth

We’ve been coming here for my husbands birthday for 5 years. My husband says they have the best steak out of all steakhouses in town! I always get the pork chop because I absolutely love it! Everything about them is wonderful from the food, to the service and the ambiance. We’ll be back next year I’m sure!!

Valentine's date night. Reservation for 6:30. Walked right in and was seated almost immediately. Having not been here before, (we are new to KC) our server, Noah, was fantastic, explaining the menu and sharing his favorites with us. He was engaging and knowledgeable. Ordered the Brussels Sprouts as an appetizer and they were fantastic. Followed that up with a shared Champagne Fish and Chips, and a small wedge salad. The fish was cooked to perfection. The chef uses a rice flour and, you guessed it, champagne to make the batter extra light and crispy. Topped it off with their house made Beignets which, I have to admit, rival anything you'll get in NOLA, including the infamous Cafe Du Monde - they are no joke, 100% legit! Happy we found this place. Everything was spot on. Will definitely be back!

This was our first time at Verbena. The atmosphere was lovely. I am gluten and dairy free. The server was well versed in what menu items were gluten and dairy free or could be altered to be gluten and dairy free. The food was delicious and presented very nicely. We will go back. I can't believe we waited so long to try Verbena. Highly recommend.

Our experience was terrific from start to finish. We were a few minutes late because of traffic but we were seated without much delay - which we expected. We had great seats in a booth on the back side of the bar. Our server, Regine, was perfectly attentive to us and answered our every question. The food was terrific, as well. We are glad that this is our annual tradition for Valentine’s Day.

Kathleen was our server last night, and she was wonderful!! We never had her before, she was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our meatball appetizer and cocktails before ordering the delicious tomato bisque and salad. Kathleen checked in with us regularly to make sure we were pleased with our meal.
