- RRichardKansas City / Kansas •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGrand 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!More infoGrand Street - PlazaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Plaza / Brookside•4.7

- VValerieNew Mexico •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhat a wonderful find! Was visiting KC to see my daughter (from out of state) and her boyfriend (also from out of state) and circumstances enabled us to be able to all get together for dinner. Realizing it was Valentine’s Day and didn’t have a prior reservation, I turned to Open Table to see what might be available near us. Union on The Hill had a time available so I grabbed it. It did not disappoint! We started with specialty cocktails, Havercamp for us ladies (you had us at grapefruit vodka) and a Saguaro for the gentleman. We shared the large portion Caesar salad as our appetizer. It was fresh and delicious. Entrees were fantastic! Two of us had the scallops with risotto and asparagus and one had the hanger steak. Everything was cooked to perfection. Nice sized portions. Our server was friendly and attentive, great personality, and you could tell everyone enjoyed working together. Highly recommend! And if ever back in the area, will definitely return!More infoUnion on the HillPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Kansas City•4.7
- JJeffreySan Diego •13 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe absolutely loved everything on the Menu from the Scallops to Steak Tenderloin and the sides were all prepared very well. The restaurant service was wonderful especially considering it was Valentines Day. A little lighter side music would add to the ambiance is about our only negative comment. Light jazz, classical, easy listening or piano or instrumental. We will be back and highly recommend.More infoStoryPrice: Moderate• Modern European• Prairie Village•4.7
