    Lobster Rangoon

    Stopped in during happy hour. First time being there and it was very nice inside. It wasn't very busy that early but was seated in the bar area. Started with lobster Rangoon and a few oysters on the half shell. Happy hour pricing was nice. For my entree it was the Seafood Pad Kee Mow. Shrimp, mussels, squid and scallops over noodles with broccoli and bok choy. All of the food was excellent. Service was fast and very efficient, my tea glass was never empty before a new one showed up. Service was knowledgeable and gave some recommendations.

    Great experience on a rainy Sunday, octopus was amazing, don't sleep on the Cesar salad croutons were amazing. Pad Thai was delicious, medium spicy was about right for us. Want to return again soon to try more.

    I'm in love with their Lobster Ragoon's! They brung out a sample of their spicy sauces and rub but I didn't think to snap a photo. Loved their dry rub! Not for the weak. Then they had a red sauce with mild heat and then next level up a jalapeño sauce. Our waitress took good care of our table. Great sense of humor. She gave us the run down of the heat sauces and rubs. Lots of seating area and windows for lighting. Clean restrooms.

    We asked for Christina, who is our favorite server at Aqua Penny's. She was amazing again! Just like always. We brought friends tonight. They are longtime KC residents and hadn't been to one of Penny's restaurants yet. They loved it! They started out with the calamari as an appetizer and my wife and I had the Tom Yum soup. I also enjoyed the Great White oysters and a Boston Pearl. Delicious!! For dinner, my wife had the blackened shrimp which she loved. I had the Mango Catfish as did our male friend. It was very good!! The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce ordered medium spice level was great! His wife had the small Caesar salad and crab cakes which she really liked. We shared a bottle of the Babich Sauvignon Blanc from NZ which was extraordinary. We finished with the chocolate torte with raspberry sauce, which was special for Valentine's Weekend. We just love this place!!

    Seafood Pad Kee Mow

    The food! If you like seafood you will absolutely love this place. I got the seafood gaprow. It was delicious and I will be coming back because they have so many dishes to try. The ambiance was wonderful. Definitely have food pictures worthy moments. The presentation was also just 10/10. I would also like to give a special shout out to our waiter Shay. He was wonderful to not only us but the people around also.

    Come to this cute, cozy , garden ambiance restaurant for a yelp event. I've heard of this place from dinning at their sister location Bamboo Penny's. I'm SO glad I was able to try this place out. They have a wide variety of food options on their menu, a little bit of everything. I will definitely be back for a date night or a girls night out. They also offer outdoor seating, which is a plus for me, definitely something to look forward to when it gets warmer. I had dinner reservations elsewhere so I kept it light here. I ordered a Paloma mock-tail in place of the sangria, and man oh MAN was it amazing! 10/10 If you're a grapefruit person like me then this is the drink for you. It was very refreshing and flavorful , Joe the bartender did a great job. The lobster Rangoon was spot on 10/10, the oyster where a 7/10 2 of the 4 I ordered has a weird taste to them. Other than that I had a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended giving this place a try especially if you like seafood.

    Food - addictively delicious Service - Excellent Ambiance - Great decor, not loud music, a relaxing vibe 2nd time here as the 1st was a week long Elite event. Spring rolls are bomb/fire as an appetizer, tasty roughage with carrots and more. The sauces, good golly are they delicious, a mild red peanut sauce (would pair wonderfully with their Lobster Rangoon) and a scrumptious Lime Infused Green Goddess sauce I could consume as a soup and be happy for hours! The Lobster roll - omg - Great tasting lobster bites with some crunchy cucumber diced bits, the "lobster salad" (think chicken salad), was superb and served in a warm wheat toast like bun. If it weren't for the kind of high prices, I would make this my weekly indulgence and "have" to tour the menu. Needless to say after this meal my stomach and taste buds were dancing the happy dance!!!

    Aqua Penny's is a seafood restaurant that opened earlier this year by the same owner of the thai restaurant just across the street. I ordered the Wedge Salad which had these tasty little polenta croutons that were the star of the dish. It sounds like the other vegan options currently available are the Aqua Spring Rolls, the Hummus Spread, and the Roasted Beet Salad w/o cheese.

    My husband and I dined here on Fe. 9th for this 1st time and immediately suggested it for my moms's 87th birthday She agreed. While we were a bit late in making a reservation for tonight (2/22) it all worked out with our other plans. We had a 4p reservation and never felt rushed. We enjoyed our wine and cocktail start (the Smoked Old Fashion being the hit of the evening). We ordered a round of appetizers - Homemade Focaccia Bread, Lobster Rangoon, Baked Shrimp & Crab dip. Yummy! Most everyone ordered either the Lobster Bisque or Gumbo before the main courses with one indulging in the Beet Salad. I don't recall everyone's dinners, but I enjoyed my Grilled Canadian Salmon hands down! I cannot wait to go back.

    We have enjoyed Bamboo Penny's so as seafood lovers, were excited to try their new seafood Thai concept. Started with their signature Negroni, quite delicious and much better than a regular Negroni. They have several cocktails on batch, and this was one. Once seated, our group opted to share several appetizers, all delicious. The entire group was pleased with the entire meal and had no room for dessert. The restaurant set up is a big reason I didn't give 5 stars. Tables are very close together and we were bumped many times by wait staff attending to another table. It's also very modern, not very homey. I think our server was over extended as well and wasn't as attentive as I would expect. We had to ask for beverage refills by flagging down a passing server, on multiple occasions. Will definitely go back as the overall experience was fantastic.

    AQUA PENNY'S YOU DID IT. YOU WIN SEAFOOD @aquapennys you're gonna make me cry. You truly really did without a doubt blow me out of the water. This food was seafood. Chef Penny you did it!!!! You made actual real good seafood and you did it with so much confidence. I'm so impressed. Never in my life did I think I would ever get to taste seafood like this in Kansas but by golly you did it. We ate so much because we just couldn't believe it THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! I wouldn't be surprised if people have to wait months to get a reservation here soon. It's that good! Incredible! And anyone who says they don't like it.. they're just used to crap Kansas seafood. This is REAL GOOD FOOD! also shout out to those little ice cream cones filled with amazingness and caviar.. probably top 3 best bites of food I've ever eaten ever!

    Nice selection of oysters to pick from. Here are one of their East coast oysters
    Phil B.

    The decor, the friendly staff, the great food selection...this is a great experience for anyone looking for a quality dining experience with a wonderful ambiance. So glad we were able to check out this restaurant. It has been on my radar since they have opened their doors but we have never made it in...until now. We have been missing out. The menu features an Asian inspired seafood theme. They do offer some non-seafood options for those in your party that prefer to stay on land. All the other appetizers and the entrees we ordered were amazing. We will be back again!

    Last of the three lobster Rangoon
    William L.

    She wanted to hit up happy hour (3-6 pm) to get a feel for this seafood-focused restaurant she learned of from TikTok. We arrived during its last hour. Dinner reservations were 2.5 hours later, but why not? A free parking garage is located one block away. Interior was nice, clean and sunny. We sat ourselves in the bar area with its hightop tables. We were quickly welcomed and menus were delivered. She ordered the cocktail of the week which was made with cachaça, a Brazilian alcoholic beverage. I had sangria. It was good and not too sweet, but I desired more acidity. Her drink was interesting and good, too. She had oysters and we shared the shrimp cocktail, lobster Rangoon and mussels. The shrimp were large and fresh. Of the food, we were least satisfied with the mussels (small) although the accompanying sauce was good. Waitstaff were friendly and professional. Recommended.

    Is the fish wild caught or farmed?

    Great question. I checked in with a server and her response was, "Bit of both depending on sustainability and if it is endangered or not". Hope this helps!

We were able to do a walkthrough and trial run ahead of time, and they thoughtfully helped us design a layout that made perfect sense for our intimate 40-person reception. Their guidance made the entire space feel intentional, comfortable, and beautifully put together. The space itself is absolutely stunning--elevated, warm, and perfect for a smaller, more personal celebration. When we arrived after our ceremony, the room flip was seamless and everything was exactly as planned. But what truly set Verdigris apart was the service. The staff was phenomenal--attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our night special. Every detail was handled with care, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy the evening with our guests. We reserved the space for three hours, and it was 100% worth it. If you're considering hosting a private event--especially a wedding reception or intimate gathering--this is the place to do it. We would choose Verdigris again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.

It was a Sunday evening, and the bar had just two couples inside. We sat ourselves in one of the cozy corners with comfortable couches, seats, and circular tables. Their physical menu only had drinks, but there was a QR code that showed a more comprehensive menu, such as other alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic drinks and small plates. We all ordered different drinks, and I got the Matronae's Blessing. My drink was tequila and vodka based with white tea shrub, lychee, soda, and lychee pâte de fruit, which is a traditional French jelly candy. Among all the drinks I tried, mine was the favorite of the night. The lychee really shined through, the soda was refreshing, and the pâte de fruit was the best surprise - chewy, sweet, and bursting with lychee flavor. Sadly, I don't have a photo of the drink, but I will be back to order this again! Aside from the great drinks, the bar itself is beautiful. The three arches behind the main bar holding the liquor are brightly lit around the edges to have a glowing effect, the bar table has light underneath that accentuate the dark green/blue color, and the rest of the bar is dimly lit to let the details really shine. You bet we did a mini photoshoot once all the other patrons left. The servers were not only great at making drinks, but they were kind enough to take some group photos for us! The girls and I had a wonderful evening, and it was the perfect way to end the night.

Lots of different types of seating - bar, comfy chairs and table with chairs in a space that will hold about 80. The drinks are a little spendy about $16 and no happy hour pricing. I had a stirred dirty vodka martini. It was good but I prefer shaken martini that skates (iykyk). My friend ordered an fireside old fashioned. The rum made it sweeter and the cinnamon stick was a nice touch. The menu offers several old fashioned and martini options. They also offer some lite bar bites for snacking. If you live in Olathe and like cocktails this is definitely worth a stop. If you don't - it's quite the drive and there are other bars probably closer and just as cool.
