The outdoor biergarten is a must, despite occasional rail noise. Known for its "world-class schnitzel," Grünauer is a Kansas City gem for both locals and visitors.

      We loved it. Well-made,inventive cocktails. Cool European brasserie space. Don’t miss the cheese spatzle, any schnitzel and the app with the pretzel.

      Starting with a dry sherry and ending with a cafe au lait and a Pavlova, dinner was stupendous. We both had the Wiener schnitzel, which was delicious with the lingonberries. The soup de jour was cream of mushroom - we were happy we ordered it.
