The Sunday brunch at the Bristol is nice but it is nothing compared to what it used to be before COVID. We are regulars at the Bristol and love it no matter what but the brunch menu is so limited it's disappointing. We love everything else and will continue to be regulars but sure wish that the menu would expand and that maybe some of the brunch items would reappear.

McCormick & Schmicks is known for the wide variety of seafood dishes but also excels at steaks and sides. The ambiance is upscale yet inviting don’t go here expecting a quiet dinner sometimes this place can be louder than your local bar but not enough where you can’t hear your table. The staff is great and the waiters provide a nice balance of accommodation and privacy the prices were decent compared to other restaurants on the plaza Overall I enjoyed my experience and will be back time and time again.

They bill themselves as “American cuisine”, and it is, but the spicing and inventiveness borrows from countries all over the world. The split pea-spinach soup with yellow curry was excellent. The calimari and sauces superb; deviled eggs sublime. Coffee cake dessert and blueberry-banana sorbet very unique and delicious. Jameson was a great server. Highly recommend!

The large table in our area was a little noisy at times. The food was excellent, which is consistently the case. Our server, Natalie L., did an excellent job. She was attentive, friendly, and she recommended a perfect wine for our meal. We would most definitely recommend V’s to our family and friends. It’s the best Italian cuisine in the Kansas City area.
