New American Restaurants near Mission Woods, KS

“Wonderful food and atmosphere!! Can’t wait to go back and dine on the patio!!“

“We had a large group and they accomodated us at the last minute. We had some of their signature dishes served family style and all were great!“

“Very cool vibe, excellent drinks and food“

“Food was quite tasty and the wine was poured generously.

The sauces and oils that came on the various dishes we ordered were very flavorful, but I had a hard time actually getting most of it in my mouth since the sauces didn’t really adhere well to the food, and all the dishes came in flat bowls so trying to scoop it up was a challenge.

We arrived when the restaurant first opened, so the dining room was empty, yet we were seated right next to another couple, which seemed like an odd thing to do. I feel like we could have been seated a little more sparsely and had a touch of privacy given the empty state of the dining room. There were 2 tables open on either side for the next half hour we were there. Our cutlery was also just put in a pile on the table when we were seated as well, not placed.

Overall, the food was good but aspects of the service and presentation could be better.“

“I just want to say what a GREAT experience I've had dining at Hemma Hemma! I've been there twice so far, and have been consistently impressed.

This past week, I joined a friend for lunch, and we both want to formally thank Dana at the front counter for being so welcoming, gracious and helpful. I accidentally knocked over the menu holder, and she reassured me that it was fine and happens frequently. My friend and I split the bill for our order, and she cheerfully rang up each of our portions separately. She guided us through some of the menu options which was much appreciated as there were some new items since my last visit.

The food here is FANTASTIC!! I can't remember what I ordered on my first visit (but I do remember that it was delicious!); this week, I had the Brookside Buiddha Bowl, which was AMAZING! Even the presentation was wonderful (see attached photo)! All the ingredients were delicious, and the flavors melded beautifully, and it was so satisfying; it kept me fueled and focused during a long afternoon at work. My friend had the Pickle Chicken Bacon Ranch salad and said it was mouth-wateringly fabulous.

The weather was nice enough to sit in the outside patio, which is well-appointed (even a free water station); the first time I was here, I ate indoors and the dining area is light, airy, and expansive, with plenty of room between tables and quiet enough to chat.

Having such a healthy, delicious restaurant in the neighborhood is marvelous, and I'm already planning my next trip back to Hemma Hemma! Thank you all SO much!“

“I wish I could say that I had been able to go here. I bought my tickets and then realized that we could not make it on that night. Yes...I get it. You don't generally get a refund or exchange for a show. But. I tried for an entire week just to get a reply to my emails and voicemails that I left. I even called the front desk of the hotel who said that they would pass along g my request to reschedule. Don't get me wrong...I get that they may not be able to do that.. but a simpme reply of maybe.. sorry. Or..thank you for your interest. But absolute silence. I hope the show was good. I hear nice things about it“

“Merci was pleasant and knowledgeable. Great job!“

“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!“

“Why is this the best experience i had in kansas?

Kind staff. Great beer selection. They would even drop by with random tastes after you get food to try and match the mood

Pancakes are great. Cheesecake brulee was amazing. Pretzel good. Fire shrimp great. Ribeye cooked perfect medium but didn't have a great sear.

Never disappointed in any of it“

“It had been a while since we ventured into downtown KCMO, and we genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere. Overall, the food was good, though not quite at the level we expected for the price. One clear takeaway: avoid the fried items. We wish we had read the negative reviews beforehand, because the wings were unfortunately the worst we’ve ever had overly oily and lacking flavor. As a big wings fan, the execution was especially frustrating: the batter wasn’t right, the texture was greasy, and the seasoning simply missed the mark. The shrimp toasts were also disappointing—very soggy bread to the point that I felt it wasn't cooked in the middle.

That said, the “Japanese‑style” dishes featuring raw fish were much better. The sushi taco was a standout, and my friends really enjoyed the bone marrow beef tartare. For the main course, the scallop pasta had great potential, but the salt was heavy—particularly on the scallops and toward the bottom of the bowl, even after mixing.

On a positive note, the drinks, desserts and service were excellent, easily deserving five stars.“

“Great Chef Quality food 👌🏿 😋 Shrimp & Grits my Absolute Favorite 😍“

“what's not to love??? great atmosphere, amazing food and central location! you MUST check it out:)“

“I had the most relaxing (the atmosphere and ambiance) and most delicious experience here! Collin (I hope that’s how he spells it)was amazing and attentive, I ordered the steak bowl and the steak was cooked to perfection (medium) and the Cherry Margarita was amazing!!!!! I then ordered a side of fries because why not!!! They were fresh and delicious!!!! 10/10 I highly recommend!“

“Great people, food and atmosphere. Thanks for a lovely dinner this evening. It was well worth the price too.“

“Love your youth golf program. My kids have played every summer!“

“We did the 4:30 distillery tour and it was really fun! There is not much walking and an elevator available for those that need it. Our tour guide was very interesting and he did a great job of teaching us about Tom Pendergast and also about the liquors that they distill. You can start with a drink in their bar and carry it with you throughout the tour if you like!“

“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞“

“I worked here. The owner moved me to a new apartment and gave me 100 dollars just because. I still wear my PPT shirt around town and have some pressed pennies. Great food. Great family owners. The most cozy hidden gem in Kansas City!“

“Feels like your at a resort in Napa! Love it!“

“My husband had the salmon and I had the buttermilk chicken sandwich. Both were excellent . We are never disappointed with our entree selections at Grand Street and we always take our family there when they come to town (. kid friendly).
I do want to give a shout out to Tom our waiter. He was very attentive and anticipated our needs. I always say a great meal can be ruined by poor wait staff. Tom def at the top of his game.....much appreciated.
Food for thought...already made our Thanksgiving dinner reservations!“

“Great place for us. we have been going to John's since they opened and they only had one little room it's wonderful to see how it's grown love it I don't go out all the time however when I do that's the place to be. the music suits my soul.“

“Great food & great atmosphere! Definitely will be going back!“

“Excellent in every respect!!!“

“Staying at the Hilton Presidents Hotel in downtown Kansas City we stopped by the Drum Room located on property and accessed via hotel lobby or its side entrance. Good and atmosphere were so good we ate there 2 times. Started with Fried Goat Cheese and Beet Salad and finished with the KC Beach Burger with garlic fries and Meatball Farfalle pasta dish. All were amazing and didn’t venture far on our second visit and skipped the salad as the 3 items were way too much on the first evening. Second evening we shared a bottle of Sav Blanc from N.Z. Amazing.“

“One of the best steak salads I’ve ever had. And the Maytag blue cheese crumbles put it over the top! The service was five-star and the place was hopping!!!“

“Great vibe and music! Lots of jams.“

“David was very friendly, He provided great service and helped my girlfriend and I decide on drinks. We went on a Sunday afternoon, so it wasn't terribly busy, but provided a great quiet atmosphere. Kept the water refills flowing. Would 100% recommend to anyone in the OP area.“

“Always have a good time , and the salted bun. Must get“

“Outstanding service from our waiter, Chris! (a solid "Hardy" doppelganger). From the check-in desk to the lively bar. Great service and people that seem to love their jobs made our experience memorable celebrating birthdays & an anniversary. Food was excellent and the 10-layer carrot cake knocked it out of the park. Needless to say, we will back! Coming in from Wisconsin and ending our trip at Ocean Prime made the weekend!“

“Decent chopped salad with salmon and burger“

“Amazing place, amazing staff, and amazing food! From the history of the building itself to the wonderful selection of dishes and wines, every detail made the experience special. We were extremely pleased and highly recommend this restaurant!

Thank you, Carla and Daniel, for making it a superb birthday dinner for my husband. It was truly a memorable experience!“

“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜“

“Outstanding food, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff. Reminds me of the best of mom's home cooking back in North Carolina. You can tell the food was prepared with love and care. The meatloaf is the best in KC too!“

“Thank you for being open on Thanksgiving today...It worked out perfect for our family today of (4) The food was amazing and our sever Ashley was fantastic“

“Local Kansas Citian....stayed this weekend with my husband and had an AMAZING time! The room was spacious and clean! Bed was super comfy, and it was actually very quiet! We could see the city life below from our corner room, but most of the noise was completely blocked out! The hotel bar and the terrace bar were both amazing! And breakfast at the hotel was to die for! We will definitely be staying again!“
