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 went for dinner during restaurant week. The table ordered the shrimp with the stuffed horseradish and the meatballs and both were very good. We all ordered the filet med rare. It was cooked to perfection. Pink evenly throughout. Sometimes steak underwhelms me at restaurants because they are not flavorful enough. Not the case here. Absolutely delicious! The sides were also very good. Our service was very attentive and friendly. This was the case from the cocktail we ordered at the bar to our table service during dinner. We will definitely be back!
