    Came to Kansas City for a few days to visit some friends over NYE. I do a lot of research before I arrive, and I find the best restaurants in town. Gram & Dun was one of those restaurants. We show up for our reservations and get seated for a wonderful meal. Ambiance was surreal. The vibes inside were that of a modern Italian kitchen inside of a Southern parlor room. I know that doesn't make any sense, but it's true. And the restaurant looks out upon the quaint downtown street of this Kansas City suburb through giant, floor-to-ceiling windows. So beautiful. Service was great, as well. The server knew the menu very well, and was able to answer a few questions, guiding me to the correct thing to order. The apps, entrees, and dessert were all paced well, too. Service lead to a lovely evening. As for the food, we started off with the Not-So-Standard Potato Chips (parmesan, sauce flight: gold sauce, comeback sauce, black pepper bourbon ketchup). These were very good. House cooked chips that were just thick enough, had a good bite to them, and were absolutely covered in luscious parm. The sauce flight was fun, too. Keep the leftovers around to pair with the rest of your meal. Onto the Low Country Pimento Cheese (fried saltine crackers, candied black pepper bacon, bread & butter pickles, tomato jalapeño jam). Hillbilly charcuterie. Lots of fun to mix and match some bacon, some pickles, a little jam, all on those very unctuous Saltines. Very fun app. My main was the Brick Pressed Chicken (lemon & thyme brine, prosciutto & sausage bread pudding, caramelized cabbage, lemon & shallot cream sauce). Chicken was cooked to a charred perfection, that savory bread pudding was just an amazing as it sounds, and the cream sauce really brightened everything up. I don't usually get chicken, but I'm telling you, this was the chicken to get. I also got to try one of the nightly specials, some sort of cheesy parmesan pasta covered in black truffle shavings. It was as extravagant as it sounds. Fresh-made pastas, giant chunks of lobster, cheesy ooey gooey, and those truffle shavings add just a touch of class and umami that really made this a good pasta dish. We finished up with the Gram & Dun Bar (chocolate peanut and pretzel nougat, marshmallow cream cheese, chocolate mousse, peanut butter ice cream). Again, another thing I don't usually go for, the dessert bar, but this place did it in a way I haven't seen before. Each layer added to the dessert. Nougat, cream cheese, and mousse, all tied together with that cold, creamy peanut butter ice cream. So so good. Overall, as good as this place was on paper, Gram & Dun really blew me away. Really elegant food, found right in the heart of the country. It was a pleasant surprise, and I would come back in a heartbeat.

    Pros: Ambiance was beautiful. Really classy dining room with large windows looking out on the pretty streets of this suburb of Kansas City. Service was also really nice. Really nice server who knew the menu well. The food all came out very promptly and was hot and fresh. The food itself actually very unique for an elevated Southern restaurant. I feel like their all elevated Southern nowadays, but this place breaks the traditional mold with their menu items. Cons: I can't think of a single con. Maybe a few more Saltines on their pimento cheese app, but that's just nitpicking. Tips: Get the Low Country Pimento Cheese, get the Brick Pressed Chicken, and get the Gram & Dun Bar. You won't be sorry.

    Went here for valentine's day and really enjoyed the experience! the interior is very modern and gives a chic vibe. if you sit on the exterior of the building, you can watch the people on the plaza walking and driving which is relaxing. the chicken and waffles were the perfect amount of sweet and spicy!! it was definitely a little bit pricey at 24 but for a nice environment and service, it was worth it. also the waitress was so lovely! she even took our picture and was very attentive to our needs

    Atmosphere is great! We love the decor and the setup of the entire restaurant and bar. Service is good, a little slow but busy for one bartender. The pork belly and the poached egg on the Benedict were way overcooked! The flavors were wonderful though. The cornflake oysters were the star! Tender, wonderful flavors, and fun to eat. My prosciutto sandwich was nice, very messy but who cares We can't wait to return to try more items on the menu. The premium margarita was top-notch!

    Came in for my partner and I's anniversary, having never been I had my own perception of Gram and Dun from what I've heard through grapevine but wanted to give the place a fair shake. Our experience completely shattered my expectations. The service was really incredible, our server was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to make our decisions even though we got lost chit chatting over our cocktails. Which by the way were very unique and refreshing for a cold winter day. I never felt rushed and that made our night really incredible. We had grilled octopus and ahi tuna for our appetizers and wow oh wow, easily the best ahi tuna I've ever had. My partner and I devoured them as slowly as possible to savor the umami flavor. Truly a must if you like seafood and tuna specifically. The grilled octopus was done nicely as well, the flavor was more subtle but the char on the octopus gave each bite nice texture and flavor. Our entrees were delicious as well, the lemon salmon and risotto hit the spot. I only wish there was more as I cleaned my plate completely. A nice flavor combination. Lastly the braised beef was a perfect to warm up on a chilly winter evening. A classic to be sure, the sauce was so well developed and rich and the roast pulled apart beautifully. Savory and delicious. Our server also brought us champagne to help us celebrate our anniversary. Couldn't ask for a better experience. I look forward to coming back and grabbing more ahi tuna asap!

    Brussels Sprouts & Kale
    Jessica B.

    Great bar happy hour experience! The bar tenders were attentive and kind. I opted for the burger and Brussels from the Happy Hour menu. Both were great. I'm a Brussel sprout fan and these hot the mark. I tried the Gram and Dun dessert bar. It was beautiful but odd. Wouldn't get it again. I loved the atmosphere here.

    Ambiance is warm, dark &comfortable. We were seated far from the door (which I like) and Griffin was our server, he was perfect! The signature drinks were nice & dessert drinks were as well. We LOVED the Not-so-standard chips &dips! I got wagyu burger & side of Mac & cheese - both were so cheesy & delicious! Perfectly cooked! Husband got chicken & waffle- also delicious! The chicken was juicy & tender. But that waffle stole the show-it was so yummy! This place is now on our favorites list, just wonderful overall!

    Grabbed a quick lunch here. Very nice! It's in the country club plaza area with so much to do nearby. Beautiful interior. Service was great and quick too. The hostess and my server were both very sweet. I got the Double Up lunch option with the Burger and Potatoes. Both good! I'd say the burger was my favorite. It had a nice and unique flavor to it.

    Gram & Dun DAYDREAMING - I literally daydream about this pimento cheese appetizer daily! It's one of the best combos of flavor explosions I've ever experienced. Not to mention the unmatched wings that fall off the bone with crispy skin. And my FAVORITE type of Caesar salad with kale. One of the best meals I've had in a LONG time. Service was great, highly recommend sitting at the bar for a more intimate experience. And the patio is the place to be when the weather is nice.

    The setting was modern earthy vibes. The restaurant had an open floor plan with no doors that separated the inside and outside. I loved this, it gave the feel of being in a fancy patio. Our service was wonderful! Our waitress brought us champagne toasts for my friends birthday which is what we were celebrating. This was a special touch! The food was all delicious! I was very excited to try the sushi but was slightly disappointed with it tasting a little more fishy than I would have liked. The crispy brussels stole the show! They were cooked to perfection. The drinks were all handcrafted and were excellent.

    Prosciutto and brie sandwich ( include sliced apples) and side salad.   No ordinary side salad this one has goat cheese, and granola!
    Mary M.

    I love being surprised in a great way when it comes to restaurants who've been in Kansas City for some time. Prior to this weekend, I had only ever been here on summer afternoon/evenings to have cocktails on their fantastic patio. My first food visit was last weekend and I was blown away. I chose the prosciutto and brie sandwich and inside salad and my friend had the biscuits and gravy and change the potatoes for macaroni and cheese. What an amazing flavorful brunch we had! Olivia, our server, was so wonderful, humorous, and attentive! I will be back and I suggest you go there too!

    The Brunch Bunch meet up at Gram & Dun for brunch. The host, Olivia, greeted me and accommodated my request to add an extra person to my reservation. She was helpful and added a chair and extra plate settings. We ordered the breakfast burrito, chicken and waffles, and biscuits and gravy. The food was so delicious, we will definitely be back soon. The chicken and waffles were better than I expected. The chicken's flavor and crispness were great. The waffle was one of the best I've ever had. I ate all of my food. Christopher was our server. He was very pleasant and patient as we tried to decide what to order. Oh! I almost forgot about the Brunch Punch. Try it. You'll like it.

    The sushi was delicious and the restaurant week menu was great tasting. Our waiter was fantastic too. I will definitely be back!

    Do they take brunch reaervations?

    I would think so - they certainly take them for dinner. You should check on Open Table.

    Would I be able to request the chef to be creative and make me a special dish, provided it doesn't include meat or dairy?

    I would email or call the restaurant, but they certainly seem like the place to accommodate that request. I would assume that during their busy wknd brunch times it might not be possible, but if they had advance notice so that the chef can be… Read more

    Does the restaurant have dog friendly seating on rainy days?

    The Kansas City Health Department mandates that we cannot have dogs in areas that we are cooking and serving food.

The food was very good the flavor was on point and my favorite was the hash browns they were buttery and crunchy. My wife and I shared the meat lovers breakfast burrito and it was good size and filled with the filling. The sauce on top had a little kick to it but that could have been the veggies on top, but would get it again. Our friend got the breakfast enchiladas and said it was very good, she likes the green sauce over the red. I didn't personally try so I can't say how it was. My son ordered the traditional breakfast, and that's exactly what it was, but he liked it. The pancakes are the size of the plate and had a fluffy center and crispy edges. We did have to ask for more syrup because they were so big. The only reason it was not a 5 was because I felt the waitress could have been around more. I felt that since we had a group of 7 and the gratuity was already added she didn't worry about it. Our waters went empty and we had to ask a different waiter for more water and syrup, when she came over the water was warm and didn't have any ice. A kid spilled her syrup we went and asked for a rag and we cleaned it up which we expected but we had to flag someone down to see if she could get more syrup. I just felt she wasn't as attractive as she could have been. We went there on a Monday around 9:45, so it wasn't extremely busy. I would say that you should try it, it was good food!

This seems like a great spot to work from, although they also had a wonderful (windy) rooftop to sit on also.. that looked like it had a fireplace for chillier days- so cozy. Best coffee in KC.

A few months ago my sister and I hosted a baby shower for our other sister and after looking around an options we decided to go with McLains. It was a smaller group, and we were doing a brunch theme, and our sister LOVES sweets. That paired with our desire to support local, and our shared love of McLains, this was just the most obvious choice. We ended up ordering a cake and first of all I have to say their cake flavor choices are insane - I think we settled on a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling (YUM), but I don't think you can go wrong here. We also ordered one of their pre-set pastry bundles for pick up and honestly everything was wonderful. I think I placed the order about a week out and it was ready when I came to pick it up. What pushed this experience into five star category for me? Just the friendliness of the staff, the serving tools they send you home with, and how thoughtful everyone was. The food was also really just exactly what we needed and it was so good there were hardly any leftovers, I think the kids cleared us out by lunch! At any rate, if you're on the hunt for a great spot to support for your next brunch event consider McLains - they won't let you down!

The nutty bitterness from the fontina added a little bit too much contrast for me. This would be a good choice for people who like sweet and salty things.
