Best Authentic Restaurants in 39th St / Westport / Midtown

We reserved our spot so the wait wasn’t long at all. I’d recommend not sitting anywhere near the door when it’s cold outside, including the bar area. Outside doors expose everyone at the front of the restaurant making for a uncomfortable experience. I even requested a table away from the entry and they still sat us at one of the closet tables.

Grunauer is one of our favorite spots in Kansas City! The service is outstanding - they always go the extra mile to see that we're happy. The food is delicious 10/10. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Meghan (with an H) was absolutely amazing, and so was Kennedy. Great food and experience. Our filets were some of the best we've ever had. Only one suggestion, work on the expresso martini, please.

Adriana was so welcoming and attentive to our bigger group. We will definitely be back for the good good and amazing service!

The food and service were both excellent. We were seated immediately even with the holiday crowd. The octopus potato salad was different and very tasty! Not something you normally see on menus so we had to give it a try. The pasta trio with salad and desert was a great value. The salad was huge and the pasta choices were excellent. My husband had eggplant Parmesan and it was vey good also. Lidia’s does not disappoint and was a perfect choice for a holiday dinner with friends!
