Okay Modern Market, I see you…read more I was on the hunt for a healthy-ish spot for lunch (I mean, hello it is January), when I came upon Modern Market Eatery on Yelp. Upon doing some research I learned it's a scratch kitchen specializing in clean eats, and that it's a chain. A win for the health options, a ding for the chain, but not all chains are bad, an we are living in a time where there are some winners. So, I packed myself up and headed down the road to Prairie Village. It's still fairly new, and it has that squeaky clean feeling to it when you arrive. Inside it's counter service and you seat yourself (they will bring the food to you). It kind of reminded me of how Noodles and Company felt when they first became a thing way back in the early 2000s. I ordered a thai salad that came in at under 400 calories so I was honestly skeptical at how big or flavorful it would really be when it arrived, and holy cow was it good. The chicken was cold, but still held some flavor, the dressing was great, there were fresh veggies, pickled onions. It was one of the best 400 calorie meals I've had in a long time. My dad ordered the salmon curry and he also enjoyed his though I didn't try it so jury's out on my opinion! I left full and happy to have discovered this spot. I'll be back soon!

I ordered the chicken banh mi which came with chips. I also got a side of fire roasted veggies. The…read morebanh mi had a good flavor but for the price I thought it was a bit small and light on the chicken. ($15.30 for a whole sandwich) It had carrots and cilantro and a tangy sauce. The sauce that was on my sandwich was different than the picture online. I did get my order through Uber Eats. The veggies were very fresh and crispy on the sandwich. The fire roasted veggies were not seasoned except for a bit of turmeric but it didn't really have a taste. Overall the food was good and very fresh but the price was a bit high.

My husband got a lamb bowl and I got chicken. I really enjoyed the crazy feta. I was a little disappointed that they offered free pita chips for a 5 star review. At first, I just thought it was for a review and I was happy to do. My husband heard the 5 star part and neither one of us were comfortable with that since we had never been there. So, we bought the pita chips and they were the best part of the meal.

We shared the Meddys Main Plate with chicken and it was easily one of the best Greek meals I've had. The vegetables were flavorful and perfectly cooked, the baba ghanoush was phenomenal, and the chicken was tender and seasoned so well.

Plenty of seating options though. Tables, booths, bar, and a covered patio. Already planning my return.

I was in town for about a week over the summer and stopped by with some fellow pickleball mom friends for lunch. I love a fast casual healthy concept, and this place is just that! We ordered at the counter and sat outside. We enjoyed our food and even went back up afterwards to order some fresh juice to-go. It's a bit pricey, but the quality is high, service is friendly, and there is plenty to choose from. Parking was easy as well. I would for sure be a regular if I lived in this area and will plan to return on future visits to the area.

We tried the Salmon and Goat cheese which so delicious. It had a nice warm goat cheese and the balsamic vinegar dressing made the salmon taste so good. I would for sure eat this one again. We also tried the Great Catch. I didn't like this one as much as the Salmon and Goat Cheese The dressing was very strong. Now let me just say that my wife and I ordered and ended up switching our entrees. She loved this dressing more than I did. And for the final we ordered a Beaches and Mango smoothie and it was soooo good!! It was the desert that we needed. The restaurant was open and comfortable and the service was great. This will be a great restaurant for us to continue eating healthy at.

My friend and I met for Happy Hour at Whole Harvest Kitchen, and we had a MARVELOUS time!…read moreOur server was Sofhia V, and she was the soul of hospitality. When we told her it was our first visit to the restaurant, she took the time to carefully go over the menus with us (regular, happy hour, and drinks), providing her recommendations when we asked. Her guidance was spot-on-target! For drinks, I had a Mindful Chai and my friend had the 3-Beverage Flight (Golden Hour, Heart Says Thanks, and Tres Raices). My chai was the BEST I have ever tasted (and I order chai every chance I get!), and my friend loved her 3 drinks (she said Tres Raices was her favorite). For our food, we split an order of the Not Queso Dip and the Avocado Tostadas. We were both very impressed by how fresh the ingredients were, and the blend of flavors in each dish that created a unique and yummy taste. The Kitchen has an open, airy layout that inspires deep breathing, while the arrangement and spacing of tables still provides for intimacy of conversation and minimal ambient noise. Sofhia checked back with us several times during our meal to ensure we had everything we needed and were thoroughly enjoying our food and drink (we were!). It was a delightful meal, and we thank Sofhia, the kitchen staff, and everyone at Whole Harvest Kitchen for such a lovely time. We'll be back!!

As someone who lives in St. Louis and visits Kansas City several times per year, I always make it…read moremy mission to stop by Cafe Gratitude for a meal while I'm in town! I tried Cafe Gratitude for the first time a few years ago, and I haven't stopped thinking about this place since. They provide more than just food... it's a whole EXPERIENCE. I've always been very warmly greeted at the front entrance. Sometimes while visiting, I've had a short wait. Other times are more empty, such as when there's a Chiefs game. All of the employees are extremely kind, personable, and welcoming. Service has truly never lacked for me here. You will notice right away that every menu item is an affirmation. At the top of the menu, it says, "I Am..." and each drink, appetizer, and entree is a positive word. As your food is delivered, they tell you your affirmation. For example, if I ordered the Warm Hearted bowl, they would say, "You are Warm Hearted." Even the water pitchers at each table have affirmative words on them. It's the little things like this that make Cafe Gratitude so special! Also, as you're placing your order, your server will leave your table with a "question of the day" that you can reflect upon and discuss with others. My partner and I love these prompts while we're waiting on our food. There's also a deck of special cards at each table that have additional questions for reflection! I try to order a different menu item every time I visit, so I've enjoyed a little bit of everything at this point. For appetizers, you have to try the Plentiful (chili). While I've never had anything here that I didn't love, my top favorite entrees would have to be Terrific (raw pad thai bowl), Warm Hearted (Italian polenta and squash noodles), and Whole (macrobiotic bowl). I also love Grateful, also known as their community bowl. If you need financial assistance with this bowl, you may pay a sliding scale of $3-11. If you want to contribute to someone else, you can pick an amount and set it aside for someone in need. I wish more businesses did this! During my most recent visit, I decided to try Transformed (tacos), which include sweet potatoes, black beans, guacamole-style hummus, pico de gallo, and cashew nacho cheese on organic corn tacos. They were delicious, but I'll probably stick to my bowls next time! It came with a side salad that wasn't anything super special but still full of flavor. The walls of the restaurant are covered in local art that rotates regularly and is available for purchase. The space itself is very cute and cozy. I read more about Cafe Gratitude's story on their website, and much of the interior is upcycled. For example, many of the light fixtures are made of old wine and vodka bottles. At the host stand, they have Cafe Gratitude postcards that you can write a message on, and they'll mail them out for you. The flavors of everything here is unmatched. Such unique combinations that my heart so happy. I always leave here feeling so fulfilled.

The girl working at the register was super sweet. She helped me with my order, a chicken Caesar wrap with sweet potato rounds as my side. I also ordered a Snapple iced tea. What happened next changed everything about my experience. I was asked if I was going to dine-in or take-out. My response was "I'd like to dine in assuming you have wifi?" She responded that they did and gave me the password. A man behind the counter who I assume is the owner or manager then stepped in and berated her right in front of me. In a super harsh tone, he said to her "don't ever give the Wi-Fi password to anyone. We need to collect their email." It was super rude and unprofessional for him to yell at her in front of me (or at all). I felt awful for her. She apologized to me and I apologized right back to her. Needless to say, this put an awful taste in my mouth and clouded my experience at this business. Admittedly I did stay, enjoyed using the wifi and the same man delivered my food to my table without a word or a smile. The wrap was delicious and the sweet potatoes were good but not fully cooked. On my way out, I told this man how I felt and that his comment made me uncomfortable. He did not apologize and moreso defended himself and said that is how he does business. So... while PROTEIN HOUSE is spacious, convenient, and has fresh, healthy food, I'm not sure I'd return as a result. I hope he was just having a bad day. To the girl working the register if you read this, I'm so sorry again. I appreciated your help and you did nothing wrong.
