I am an out-of-towner and was told to explore Country Club Plaza. I stopped here for lunch and sat in the bar area. The place looks nice and is unique. The service was great and the food was delicious. And they had Magnum PI on the TV.

I enjoyed the atmosphere and my dish was very beautiful just was very surprised that I found some pin bones in my salmon. Otherwise it was very good. Removed some stars for that since normally that should have been removed. Would return again though. Great business dinner overall

Gram & Dun came highly recommended to us! It’s located in a lovely area & easy to walk around. We enjoyed the stroll around the shops. We came for lunch. It was amazing! So delicious! The restaurant was lovely. Service was excellent. They were very attentive. The menu had plenty of yummy options. We tried a roasted chicken sandwich & fresh greens salad. Gumbo was delicious! Everything was delicious! We really enjoyed our lunch. I highly recommend visiting Gram & Dun?

We were invited by the manager to come in for a meal and after just a few bites, my husband and I began planning our next date night to revisit. The service was top tier, food was delicious and fast. Fresh. Our server was so kind and sweet, and even made a VERY welcomed food suggestion (fried jalapenos with the spinach artichoke dip, to die for). I cannot say enough positive things. I cannot wait to return. Thank you for a memorable first anniversary meal.

My daughter lives in Kansas City and I always have her choose a restaurant that she's heard of and wants to go to that she hasn't tried yet. We were so impressed by this place. We will definitely go again! The menu had so many things that I wanted to try. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was great and our server was very friendly and helpful. Great location on the corner of the Plaza. Sounds like they have a great breakfast and lunch menu as well. Highly recommend!

Service was great and food was good. Only 1 out of 3 steaks were cooked to order, but they promptly fixed them. We had the wings, wontons and artichoke dip for appetizers. They were all good, but the artichoke dip was my favorite. We had a few ribeyes, a hangar steak and some lamb. We sat on the patio and it was great. Our server was great as well.
