Grand Street Cafe

I went briefly looks like they have a great happy hour and staff. Famous treat in KC

Beautiful restaurant with a large parking garage nearby. The staff was super friendly on a Friday night. It was pretty busy and seemed a bit understaffed though. Our food and checks took a very long time to get to us.We started with the bread service. Wasn't anything special, just pretty. My friend ordered the Chicken Piccata and it was very dry and hard to even cut through with a knife. I ordered the special 16oz ribeye and it was cooked right but there was no flavor. Felt like I was eating a good cut of meat without anything done to it. Overall, a bit underwhelming experience.

There was a very large group of us gathered for a corporate event. The restaurant is located in the busy highly developed Lenexa shopping district. Plenty of parking around the area including a garage. We were seated in a private room. The acoustics were very good, although our group can be quite loud once the Jordan wines and mixed drinks start flowing. We all shared a variety of appetizers including a tuna tartare (someone made the comment of getting fish over 1500 miles from an ocean). Of course, I know they ship the seafood fresh and frozen overnight quite frequently which is why I chose to order the cornmeal crusted trout. It was delicous topped with avocado and crab over easterling potatoes. Our service was very good for a group of over 15. I didn't have to pay the bill which made it even better.

Two trips in a row Grand Street has absolutely delivered! We had a few of us and the service was great! I've been really impressed with the specials. Last time there was a great surf and turf. The meals have always been prepared well, and the servings aren't obnoxiously large, they are right sized!I can't wait to get back! Great service, great food!

This was my first time at the Lenexa location and it had a great ambiance with the industrial ceilings and contemporary decoration interior decoration. We came in on a Wednesday around 5pm for an early birthday dinner. The bar are was full and the dining area started filling up throughout the dinner. As soon as we sat down, our waitress was attentive and kind to explain the menu and daily specials. The highlight of the dinner for me was the in house honey mustard! We really enjoyed the grand burger and were satisfied with the prices for most of the menu items.I think this is a great spot to meet up for lunch with friends or happy hour!

Lovely dining room. Comfortable seating. My tuna tartare was the best meal I have had since I moved to Kansas eight years ago (from San Diego). The chocolate martini was yummy, but a little too strong for me to finish. My friend really enjoyed the coconut chicken salad. And we all greatly appreciated our server, Piper. She is such a sweet, gentle soul. We had a wonderfully relaxing evening here.

Service needs to me mentioned first! Excellent. Beyond excellent. Literally no complaints, which I usually have some sort of critique having worked in the industry so long. I was here for a work dinner, meeting a new vendor who hosted. We waited longer than normal to order, waiting for others to arrive and she was NOT overly bugging about starting the eating process.I didn't have a cocktail but the rest of the table did and enjoyed them all. For appetizers, we got deviled eggs, salmon artichoke dip, and ahi. I devoured the eggs. Tasted like a little horseradish in them and they were goooood. Ahi was also good. I'm from Cali so the locals I was with said "their ahi is good. Well for KC that is haha" and it was actually good, regardless of location. Didn't dig the salmon dip. The texture and taste weren't there for me. But I'll add that since I was pregnant, my love of cooked salmon is gone. For dinner, I got the filet and my counterpart got the braised rib (we shared) and then each added a scallop. We had been teetering between all those and this got us to taste them all. The braised rib was wayyyy good. Def better than the filet. BUT THE SCALLOPPPPPPSSS mmmmmmmmmm. They were SOOOOOO good. We both agreed that if they have scallops on the menu, that should be what we ordered. If it isn't, the braise rib is the best choice. We also went for dessert... we got the brownie and the bar. The bar was too richy chocolate for both of us. The brownie was delish though with the light fluffy phyllo around it.

Still one of my modern day restaurants in the Plaza Area.Ambiance, Service and Food is phenomenal.Joely was great and did a phenomenal job, she is a true professional.

I seem to forget to leave reviews for the places I go to the most.I have been a semi-regular here for a couple years now, usually sitting at the bar. The two primary bartenders here are absolutely phenomenal with guests. The restaurant also features an extensive cocktail program, including some lesser known classics like a Sidecar. (They substitute the primary spirit but you can have it made the traditional way.)They have some fantastic appetizers, such as bread service, and pimento cheese dip with chips drizzled with hot sauce. Their filet mignon is perfect. I do occasionally get an overcooked steak, but they always correct it.They also feature some amazing specials, usually featuring a fresh catch. I have had the best scallops dish here. The only downside to these specials is that they are typically featured once never to be seen again, but that is because they stay on top of changing things up.The one funny but unfortunate thing is that in the construction of the building, there is a giant support beam right in the middle of the bartop blocking what would otherwise be prime bar spots. They still allow seating there but it's not a great spot to dine.In any case, this place is awesome and folks should check it out.

Went to GS with my mother for Sunday brunch.The cappuccino was lovely, and the food is, of course amazing.It's a bit pricey, but for a splurge it's worth it.
