Best Casual Restaurants in Leawood

Ver nice and server was great. The food came out quickly and the drinks were great

We frequent YaYa's restaurant, so we are very familiar with the menu and the bar. Our server, Ben, did a great job even with a very full number of tables he was serving. One of my favorites is the duck confit and my wife enjoyed the scallops. The food was great and the sides were a perfect combination. I recommend this spot for all types--families, business, and so on.

Our celebration dinner was a perfect mix of excellent food, a beautiful space and welcoming service. Always a pleasure to go to Paris, and this was no exception. The shrimp appetizer was unlike any we have experienced elsewhere and it was delicious. Salads were fresh and tasty, especially the beets with goat cheese. Pomegranate arils were a perfect sweetness to counter the goat cheese. Our four entrees were all exceptional, and we shared tastes around the table. Salmon, halibut, scallops and lamb shanks. The side of Brussels sprouts was perfectly cooked, simple but tender and flavorful. Then dessert to round out the meal: a glass of port, a sundae, olive oil cake, and my favorite: the best baklava I’ve ever had.

Food is amazing! The Strozzapreti and Chicken Parm were outstanding. Also they expanded the restaurant since I had last been there and it's much bigger. I wish the happy hour was available throughout the restaurant as opposed to just the bar area.

Over all a very pleasant dining experience. Good food, good service and reasonable prices. We highly recommend Houlihan's.
