Best Romantic Restaurants in Lansing/Leavenworth

This was the first time my wife and I had been to J. Gilbert's and it was a wonderful experience. I had the Kansas City strip; it was juicy and very flavorful; one of the best steaks I've ever had. My wife had the crab cakes and loved them. Only one downside in the whole meal; the crab bisque soup was just too salty! I should have sent it back. The desserts were very tasty and presented so nicely. I had the chocolate fudge cake; it was soooo good! Service was impecable! We will definitely be back to J Gilbert's.

Tracy F provided amazing service. Kind, detailed and thoughtful! The food and atmosphere was great. Would definitely return just to see Tracy.

They did a phenomenal job of treating my parents for their 30th anniversary dinner. They allowed us to leave a card on file and surprise my parents with the most extravagant date night. They even printed a special menu and had a 30th Anniversary dessert for them! I can’t wait to celebrate our family’s next occasion here. Thank you, 801 Chophouse!

My ultimate test for a restaurant is if it randomly pops in my head weeks later as I relish the memory of the meal & experience. Wandering Vine at The Castle meets that test. I am still thinking about the savory bone-in pork chop with demi-glace sauce, the decadent chestnut mushrooms, and the perfectly intense cocoa of the layered chocolate cake. I'm not going to lie, a part of me anticipates huge disappointment for every sad attempt of pork chops or chocolate cake from any other restaurant here after until I can return. Congratulations to the chef, owner and staff for creating and sharing a truly remarkable dining experience at The Castle!

Over all a very pleasant dining experience. Good food, good service and reasonable prices. We highly recommend Houlihan's.
