Best Seasonal Restaurants in Shawnee

Never having been to this restaurant before but always wanted to try it we selected it to Celebrate Valentine's Day. The ambiance was warm and relaxing upon entering the restaurant. It was exactly what I was hoping for. The Food was artfully presented with freshness and wonderful flavor. Our waitress Masha was friendly and a perfect server explaining our menu options with precision. Overall our experience was exceptional. Our only complaint is the prices are beyond what seems necessary. Honestly when a bottle of wine on their list is more than 3 times the cost sold at the stores seems beyond excessive. The beef albeit was top grade, prices overall have definitely reduced our return visit to perhaps Special occasions only. Disappointing for a couple that truly enjoy dining out.

Scratch Gourmet Kitchen continues to impress! From the incredible Valentine’s Day menu to the outstanding service, every detail was top-notch. The food was perfectly executed, with a fantastic selection that made it impossible to choose just one favorite—so I tried everything, and it did not disappoint. Tyler and his team create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend for a date night or any occasion where you want truly exceptional food and service!

Always wonderful when dinning at the Hereford House. Great food, friendly staff, and a great selection. The dinner for 2 on Valentines day was delicious. Waiter Austin was attentive and fun.

Another delicious visit to this hidden gem. You could order with your eyes closed and still love your choices. Because it’s a small room, people can choose to focus only on their group or enjoy one another’s company. We met a young couple having lunch there for the first time and exchanged our thoughts on favorite dishes. A lovely Valentine’s Day experience.

I had the grilled tuna as my main course and it was perfectly seasoned. The purple Japanese sweet potato really brought everything together! My girlfriend had the lobster tail with pasta and bacon, and she loved it too. The pasta had a sweet aftertaste that was delightful! She also did some wine sampling of the sweet wines. She liked them but for $15 you’ll only get 3 wines that are 1/3 full. We both then tried a tart pie that we didn’t really enjoy. The first bite tasted like raw orange peel, it was very bitter. The orange peel taste stays around but isn’t as extreme as the first bite. So if you don’t like tart, don’t get their tart pie (not the actual name but forgot the name).
