BEST RESTAURANT in KANSAS CITY! Better food than many Michelin restaurants. (I have lived in both NY and SF.) Then I discover Chef Mitchell Fetterling is from Saison- a 2 star Michelin restaurant. The quality of food is excellent and well worth the value. Where else can I get seafood flown in daily and prepared with so much flavor and expertise? The patio was comfortable and inviting. We sat outside with our pup. Our attentive server even moved 2 umbrellas for us, so we had enough shade. We loved the fresh oysters, tuna crudo, potato beignets, seared scallops, filet mignon, salmon, pasta, brownie sundae and pineapple w/ ice cream dessert! They were all so elevated. Again the food quality and execution is exceptional. What a gem in Prairie Village! It was the perfect night out. Thank you! read more

Updating review to include new location. The new location is amazing! Current menu is incredible (as always) We had the crab dip and potato beignet's to start. Both were incredible and devoured rapidly (we had two 17 year olds with us ) I had the steak and potatoes and the wife had the rigatoni dish. Again, amazing. The atmosphere is lively and the decor is very well done. Scratch is in our rotation of go-to restaurants in the metro for a reason. The staff, as usual, were prefect in every way. Special shout out to our server, Thomas! Enjoy read more

Scrape: To eat from plate until nothing is left. Scrape: Something so delicious you can't stop. Scrape: The noise a utensil makes as it scrapes. Scrape: What we did to the scallions Scrape: What we did to the drinks Scrape: A bloody wound from scratching something. You get the idea. At the end, we got the most decadent desert I've ever had HANDS DOWN! It was this soccer ball sized giant chocolate shell where hiding under it was a brownie and ice cream. Then the server drizzled this warm chocolate sauce onto the chocolate shell. Then my wife started munching. Then... We scraped the plate. read more

The Great: -Every food item I had was excellent! The cauliflower curry was my favorite though the brownie sundae was a close second -Aaron was so kind and helpful to our table. His kindness and willingness to help is all the marketing any restaurant needs The Okay: -This place is very small so it can get quite loud! But that won't be an issue once they move to their bigger space read more

Husband found this kind of by accident. We weren't dressed for fine dining but they let us in anyway! So kind and attentive! Fantastic Old Fashions! Then out comes amazing Tuna Round with cucumber and pickled watermelon. This was heaven on my palette! The tuna was unbelievable and the tomato water that all the veggies and the basil and mint were swimming in was a party. Next, I had the Salmon while my hubby ordered the smoked mushroom rigatoni. Both were outstanding flavors that we immensely enjoyed. What a great gastronomy event we accidentally ran into. read more

Went to the Mother's Day Brunch at the new location. It's beautiful inside and the bar is beautiful. Most of the staff were super friendly. This was a limited menu and need to get back. Cocktails were pricey. Dessert was my favorite part (no pics). Their patio is adorable too! read more

First time at Scratch Gourmet Kitchen and we loved it. We sat outside on a perfect Saturday night -- great atmosphere and really nice setup on the patio. Our waiter Ambrose was awesome. He walked us through the seasonal menu, explained everything, and gave some great recommendations. You can tell he actually knows and likes the food. The standout for us was the butternut squash hummus plate -- seriously, we could've licked the bowl clean. Everything we tried tasted super fresh and well thought out. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. Perfect mix of good food, good vibes, and great service. read more

This is truly a gem! They really live up to their name with everything made from scratch, including their cocktail sauce, and the fresh seafood. We found the food to be really great value for how fresh the food was and the quality of the ingredients . The very welcoming owner comes around to each table to say hi and we even got to meet the Chef who is trained at Michelin star Saison in San Francisco, but came back home to his roots here in Kansas. Making some of the best food we've had here. They had a steak fillet with fries special that was really great value and the scallops were delightful. read more

Scratch was such an amazing experience. We enjoyed every bit of it! We started with the crab cake. It was so delicious and different than I have had before! It has crawfish and shrimp in it. Sooo good! The Steak Au Pave was perfectly cooked and the flavors were out of this world. 10/10! We finished with the Brownie Sundae and it was good! Very rich! read more

Great restaurant find in the KC burbs. Will definitely visit again to further explore the menu. My group selected the Bacon Candied Dates which were delish. Only thing I would like to see different is plate them with the bacon less crispy and more chewy. $16 for six pieces was fair for the quality of this app. For my main I had been thinking about the Chicken Roulade all day and I wasn't disappointed. Nice crisp crust on the chicken every part of the dish complimented the overall flavor and presentation. $32 was fair for the quality of this dish. Service was def emphasized and onpoint. We enjoyed very little wait time and were consistently checked on. This is the type of dining experience you don't mind the splurge. Thank you for a memorable dining experience. read more

This place! You must go! The inside of the restaurant is small but they have a great outside seating too. I went here for a friend's birthday. This place did not disappoint. Great wine selection as well as cocktails too. I had the sea bass, another friend had the salmon and two friends had the short rib gnocchi. But the best part was the dessert. The service was top notch. read more

There is work to be done. The interior is stylish. The cocktails were well-mixed. The food was unexceptional. The Caesar was slightly underdressed. The scallops were not quite done. The chicken was okay. The food was attractively plated. We had an excellent waiter. If the intent is to be a class restaurant, the host and manager need to step up their dress and grooming--nice shirts and jackets. Nice shoes. Makes me wonder why Story didn't succeed. read more

I had heard great things about Scratch but I was blown away! I am a foodie and go to a LOT of places but this is now my TOP 3 FAVORITE! Everything from their drinks, appetizers, dessert was Fantastic. service is great. They have patio outdoor seating and indoor. Great for date night. The bruschetta is a MUST. I loved their Chilean Sea Bass and the flavors was just out of this world. I can not recommend them enough! SOOOO YUMMY and can't wait to go back read more

Absolutely love this new version of Scratch! Their team did an incredible job adding in a bar with curated cocktails while still focusing on their wine selection and seasonal dishes.

Absolutely AMAZING experience! This is the spot for fabulous food and service. It's conveniently located in the shops of Prairie Village. I highly recommend making reservations in advance to secure a seat. We enjoyed drinks, shareables, and some entrees. From my understanding, the menu is seasonal with some items staying available year round. Highly highly recommend for a date night or nice night out! read more

This was one of the best meals we've had in KC ! Service was fantastic and the food was just amazing. My husband had the steak au pause- literally melted in your mouth. I had the miso infused sea bass that was literally but so flavorful. We shared the Brussels sprouts with candied bacon - incredible. Finished with pecan praline bread pudding with caramel whisky sauce - holy cow was that good! read more

There's a reason why Kansas City is called Cowtown. We have some of the best steaks in the cosmos. If there's flesh of a dead cow on a menu, I'm apt to order it before anything else. (Yes, even skrimps.) Case in point, Scratch Gourmet Kitchen's Steak au Pavé, which caused me--briefly--to step outside my body in foodie ecstasy this weekend. In fact, I think it might be the best preparation in town--complete with its garlic cream demi-glace and perfectly executed, thinly sliced potato pavé. How good was it? I'm writing an entire Yelp post about this dish, for God's sake. And you're reading it. If you haven't been to this tiny-but-mighty, upscale eatery in a while, it's time. I'll join you. read more

I had searched for a fine dining restaurant to take my girlfriend to for her birthday. Unfortunately, the best word to describe our experience there was "unremarkable". Nothing terrible, but also nothing exceptional. Our table felt like it was part of the waiting area rather than the restaurant. The noise volume made it difficult to converse. The food was rather bland and lacked the sophistication of other local fine dining establishments. read more

Couldn't wait to see the transformation of this little gem in Prairie Village after their recent remodel... just WOW! On a recent Friday night visit, it was packed and the new bar area was hopping with a cool upscale vibe. Even though it was full house inside and on the patio, our service was fast and attentive. New seasonal menus items were all delightful, especially the salmon. They are gaining a reputation as having the areas best stocked wine collection, in all price ranges. Great place for a date night, or to take out of town guests. read more

Went here for restaurant week (3 course meal for $40), but then realized that if I would have ordered it any other week it would have only cost $34.50. Doh! ‍ I got the maple chili Brussels which were by far the best thing!! They were so yummy and perfectly made!! The puff pastry chicken pot pie didn't look like the picture and was ok, but nothing to write home about. The sugar cookie was really good--warm and soft, baked perfectly--but the chocolate chip cookie was a bit overdone. I'm not sure I would visit again, but maybe for those yummy brussels!!! read more

My partner and I went here for the Merry Little Libations for the Christmas pop up. It was very underwhelming and not what I would consider a Christmas pop up. Yes the drinks were Christmas themed but didn't come with a Christmas look that other pop ups offer. They are also pretty expensive for what they were. Also I assumed that a "limited menu" would would mean more than puppy chow and a cheese spread. Just pretty disappointed with the experience, The staff were really nice though! Loved the waitress we had! In short I wouldn't recommend their Christmas pop up, not sure about their regular restaurant experience. read more

To Go dinner from @scratch_kc tonight. The place is really cute with lots of outside seating in the shade. The staff was great! Packaged all of the parts of our dinner separately so it all traveled. Also took the time to tell me how to best put the food together. Wonderful attention to detail. We had the nachos - queso was creamy, the meat is tender, and the salsa added acid. Needed a little something spicy. The wilted salad's bacon dressing was acidic and paired well with the avocado. Finally we had the shrimp fajitas. The flavor was good, a little sweet and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. read more

Such a fun place with incredible made from scratch food! This was seriously a top 3 chicken sandwich I've ever had. I had the Nashville hot (there's also an original version). It had the perfect amount of heat, texture, and sauce. The side of chips had good flavor as well. I told my wife this is the next date night spot. It appeared they had an expansive wine list that I'll have to check out next time! I am also intrigued by the to-go meal options when you first walk in. If the to-go food is as good as the dine in food, I may never cook again... Highly recommend! read more
