Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Raytown

My girlfriend and I went to Gram & Dun the Saturday after Valentine’s Day for a brunch date. We set reservations and our experience was great. Our server Sophie was great and the food was good. We would definitely go back.

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!

Sam provided great service on a very busy Valentine’s. Food and drinks were very good, as expected. Restaurant was packed but mostly well organized.

Whenever my drink glasses are allowed to become empty, and waiter is nowhere in sight, and other waiters offer to refill glasses, it's a problem. I always the emember the original owners of Strouds saying glasses can never be empty. It is still the case today. It's the little things like this that make a great waiter. Capital Grill also comes to mind

First time visiting and was over the moon! Everything we ate was amazing, our server so so sweet and had great recommendations. The vibe was very cozy and chic. We will DEFINITELY be coming back. I wish I knew our waitress’ name, she was phenomenal.
