Best Hot Spot Restaurants in N. Kansas City

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.

We love this restaurant. First it is beautiful but not trendy. Second the execution of the food is superb. We love the fact you can find traditional menu items still (today was Steak Dianne) and even though steak is featured there is always a variety of seafood, duck and lamb. Service was excellent also. They use first rate ingredients and sauces and salad dressings are house made and exceptional.

Dining at Lidia's on Christmas Eve is my wife and I's tradition for many years. We enjoy the festive and friendly environment from the time we enter to the time we leave. The menu always offers our favorites and helps in making it a dining experience. Thank you to the servers and staff who make this a special evening.

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

It was a wonderful experience, with a perfect view of the downtown city scape. The shopping area was decorated with colorful lights which added to the ambiance for Christmas. Food was perfect. Steaks were tender, and juicy, pork chop was excellent and the bread was so good with the 3 sauces. We had empanadas as well, and they were good, but our group decided if there was something to pass, it would be this, as we didn’t have room for dessert. Our waiter, Justin, was excellent and on top of making our dining a wonderful experience! Highly recommend this restaurant!
