We have an incredible dinner experience at Gram & Dunn! The restaurant was beautiful and festive and the menu was fantastic. But the best part of our experience was most certainly our waitress Andrea. She was outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable, so fun and engaging, knew the food and drinks so well and guided us well when we asked for help. She was an absolute delight! If you go here you should ask for her!

The food, service and overall experience was excellent! We had the Moderna salads with truffle bread to start. And had the shrimp pasta and halibut for main course. Both were very very good. We brought our daughter who is 2 and a half years old and the service was accommodating and really sweet with her. They made a mushroom pizza with a little red sauce for her and she loved it! This is our favorite restaurant in Kansas City.
