7. JJ's Restaurant

Exceptional(1805)

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.

The food and service were both excellent. We were seated immediately even with the holiday crowd. The octopus potato salad was different and very tasty! Not something you normally see on menus so we had to give it a try. The pasta trio with salad and desert was a great value. The salad was huge and the pasta choices were excellent. My husband had eggplant Parmesan and it was vey good also. Lidia’s does not disappoint and was a perfect choice for a holiday dinner with friends!
