I think this might be my first review of 2025. So much stuff on our plates right now. Had to find a…read moreplace to jus relax and enjoy the scenery. Be aware that it is a wee bit of a drive from KCK. The last 4 miles or so is on white gravel roads. I wasn't so happy about that. At least they were mostly flat and lil bit potholes. Plan to wash your car afterwards. Hehehe. Wifey and I enjoyed our time here. Talked to a very personable young lady serving us. Told us about the different types of wines & how they tasted. She also had a small cup of mini dark chocolate chips (DCC) and oyster crackers (OC). The DCC with the red wines changed the flavors very nicely. The OC was for the white wines. I'm always tryin weird stuff with tastings. So of course I have a DCC with one of the semi sweet white wines and BAMB!!! Ohh baby!!! It was weird, but the flavors were pretty good! Yeah yeah of course I can't remember which white it was. I guess we gotta go back to try and figure it out? Hehehe. Ok ok, so after the tasting, wifey got a glass of the Sangria and I got a glass of the Wild Fire. We also got the bread with the olive oil Parmesan dip. It does have red peppers inside the dip, but it was a subtle kick. We go the Nighthawk Nachos later since I wanted another glass of Wild Fire. Well, I'd better get going. Lemmie know of any other good wineries (or breweries/distilleries) we should try. Mahalo! A Hui Hou!!

Located in Overland Park, this vineyard is a beauty as you drive up and make your way to the red…read morebarn where wine tastings and food ordering occur. We had our adult family of 5, and there were plenty of places to park on their lot. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating is limited for larger groups. We did our wine tasting with Amy, who was very helpful and informative about what each wine tasted like. I love that she was very truthful about what the palate of each drink would be so that we could make the best decisions on purchasing bottles. I ended up loving the Vignoles and Caramel Apple the best. I bought two bottles of the Caramel Apple because I was floored by its taste, and fall is in the near future. For our table, we ordered pizza and spinach and artichoke dip. Both were snack-like for us but great in taste. They use sustainable paper products too. I would definitely come back and visit this vineyard!

Dangerous customer service. If I could give zero stars, I…read morewould. We attended a baby shower here this weekend, hosted by a woman who is 36 weeks pregnant, for a guest of honor who is also in her third trimester. Despite the indoor dining area being completely empty--we were literally the only customers in the establishment until 2:00 PM--management stubbornly refused to let our group sit inside. Their excuse? Our "party size was too big." Instead of showing an ounce of flexibility or basic human decency, they forced a heavily pregnant host and her guests to sit outside during an active Heat Warning. It was 93°F outside with a heat index making it feel like 105°F. This isn't just a matter of poor customer service; it's a severe health and safety hazard. Forcing women who are weeks away from their due dates to endure triple-digit heat index conditions while indoor, air-conditioned tables sit completely vacant is downright negligent. It showed a shocking lack of empathy. When we finally went inside just to take a few photos before leaving, it was confirmed that the space was completely unused. To value arbitrary, nonsensical "rules" over the medical safety and comfort of your patrons is a miserable way to run a business. We will never be back, and I strongly advise anyone planning an event to look elsewhere--unless you want a venue that treats its customers with absolute disregard.

It was mostly empty as it turned out but that meant we were able to get prime seats at the bar in front of the tv. The array of German bier offerings is exceptional. I appreciated the lower alcohol choices as well. The interior is, as the name implies, like a small beer hall, with long tables for gathering with new friends. Also ideal for putsches. The outdoor seating is a strong point. Serene, softly lit and spacious. The bartenders were business like friendly, they really don't want to hear your sad stories. The only downside was that they quit serving beer at halftime of the game we were watching. The game that went into extra time and on to penalty kicks. So we sat there for an hour and a half, thirsty, pockets full of unspent cash, watching the game while the neglected taps mercilessly mocked us. It honestly seemed baffling and inane beyond belief. Still, looking forward to a return trip when they're more willing to part with their delicious brews.

I've visited KC Bier Co for many gatherings over the years. A classic bier garden like this is…read moresupposed to bring people together with its spacious patio which is never short of seats and shade. It's a great place to enjoy German-style beer. While they offer pale lagers they also go deep into other German styles like bock, Dunkel, schwarzbier, and the whole spectrum of German-beer. They offer German food that historically pairs with beer. I've always enjoyed the appetizers. They have a happy hour from 4-6 p.m. In the winter they usually run a special where you get a discount for sitting outside in the cold. I've done that a few times. Their calendar is always chock-full of events, so I recommend checking out their social media accounts to look for something fun.

They had what we needed, and while I didn't spend a ton of time shopping around, it appears the selection here is more than enough. Tons of beer, lots of wine, and all the other liquors out there. The staff seemed to be in good spirits (no pun intended) and it's easy enough to get in and out since it's in a large strip mall that sacrifices almost all aesthetic appeal for an oversized parking lot. All in all, I'm sure the nearby residents are glad to have this spot here and it was just fine what what we needed.

LOWS: - I asked an employee for some water and I got "I'm not your server," and walked away in response, didn't love that - I obviously don't know the full story behind it but writing on your menu that you are incapable of cutting a burger or sandwich in half is pretty absurd. Along with not even having knives for us to do it ourselves - Could probably invest in some blinds, the glare inside was crazy Overall a fine meal, obviously a lot going on but mostly not on the good side. The actual meal saved the day because if it weren't for that I probably would've been more critical.
