Contrary to popular belief, JJ's Restaurant is not named for popular owner Jimmy Frantzé. In 1985, Jimmy purchased JJ Malane's from his former business partner and the saloon's namesake. Malane's went away, but JJ's remained, and a West Plaza fine dining icon was born. Jimmy invested his enthusiasm and passion for exceptional contemporary American food, steaks and wine to build one of the finest restaurants in Kansas City just a block west of the Country Club Plaza. He helped create an environment that attracted and kept one of the most professional staffs in the region. He inspires so much loyalty that when the new JJ's reopened 18 months after a 2013 fateful fire, almost all of his staff re-joined him.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time at McCormick & Schmick’s on a busy Friday night. We were seated promptly in a comfy booth. We always enjoy the atmosphere of this restaurant with its lovely, backlit stained glass dome, beautiful deck/Asian inspired stain glass screen that separates the bar areas and the dining area, and large, Chihuly-like glass vases set on the second level surround. Even better than the ambiance, the food did not disappoint. We were both attracted to seafood pasta. My husband loved the scampi pasta and it looked decilious. I went on The Voyage - the lobster pasta plus a nicely made Caesar salad. Our seafood and pasta were perfectly cooked. If the pasta isn’t fresh, it comes very close and was a perfect al dente. Our server, Augustine, took great care of us without being intrusive. He made sure I liked anchovies when I ordered the Caesar (I do!) and kindly provided additional Parmesan cheese when we requested it. A great date night on the Plaza!

    This our 3rd trip to Ocean Prime celebrating our anniversary. Every time it has been excellent. Bree was our server and she was great! We both started with drinks. I tried the Berries n Bubbles and my husband had the Smoked Old Fashioned. I had the Lobster Bisque to start, and it was delicious. For our main entrees, I had the Wagyu filet and he had the Rib Eye. Both were cooked to perfection. We shared the Smoked Gouda tater tots and the corn. Since it was our anniversary we got to pick a dessert on the house. We have a tradition going back to the beginning of our marriage to always pick the creme brulee. And it was outstanding as well.
