Price: Expensive
• American • Plaza / Brookside
Booked 17 times today
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.

    Ben was amazing very kind and made us feel special. We appreciate the Anniversary message with our dessert. The music choice felt interesting for the setting, I understand it was a Monday but the multiple pop songs made the environment feel weird.

    We have an incredible dinner experience at Gram & Dunn! The restaurant was beautiful and festive and the menu was fantastic. But the best part of our experience was most certainly our waitress Andrea. She was outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable, so fun and engaging, knew the food and drinks so well and guided us well when we asked for help. She was an absolute delight! If you go here you should ask for her!

    We were able to sit in our favorite area - one of the bar booths. Our service was absolutely top notch. Our table ordered several types of cocktails, wine, etc....and all were delicious, presented well, and as ordered. Our appetizer, meal and desserts were excellent as well. My filet was overcooked...but the more I think about it my waitress may have heard medium well as opposed to medium rare. It was still delicious with the au poivre sauce added and though I could have sent it back...I'm just not that kind of guy. I will certainly be back again.
