Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Plaza / Brookside

I recently dined at Grunauer and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. I started with the lobster bisque, which was rich, creamy, and full of deep seafood flavors. It had a smooth texture with just the right balance of seasoning. Next, I tried the sweet potato soup, which was a pleasant surprise—velvety, slightly sweet, and well-spiced, making it a comforting and flavorful choice. For the main course, I had the salmon, which was perfectly cooked—moist on the inside with a beautifully crisp exterior. The seasoning complemented the natural flavor of the fish without overpowering it. The dish was well-plated and paired nicely with the sides. Overall, the service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. Grunauer truly delivers on quality and flavor, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refined yet hearty dining experience in Kansas City. I’ll definitely be returning!

It was great. Even though there was a problem with our order, they took care of it like pros. It didn’t take away from our experience.

Our server was incredible and the food was absolutely delicious.

We needed a spot for 10 friends to gather over lunch. The staff at County Road Ice House was excellent ... attentive, fast service, and a great BBQ meal. Thanks so much!
