Best Casual Restaurants in E. Kansas City

Grand Street Cafe has a level of food quality that is top tier! I've been a customer for over a decade and I've never had a bad food experience! This was a belated Valentines Day dinner and it didn't disappoint! Everything from my appetizer, salad, and main course was excellent! As an added value the cost was very affordable especially for the quality of the meal! I will most definitely be back!

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.

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.

We loved how the atmosphere evolved throughout the evening. It started as a quiet, intimate setting with great music and gradually became more vibrant while remaining relaxed. The brutalist-inspired design, combined with warm lighting, created a cool and inviting ambiance. The food was both playful and delicious, and the drinks were expertly crafted. Sitting at the chef’s table made the experience even more enjoyable as we engaged with the staff and watched the artistry behind each dish. From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience, and we will be back.

What a great find in the heart of Westport in KC. Food and drinks were awesome, incredible service. We went for brunch, can’t wait to return for dinner and the speakeasy.
