    Rob making magical drinks
    Denise F.

    We dined in last Saturday night. They are open Thursday through Saturday 5pm - 9pm. When we arrived people were outside waiting for the doors to open. (good sign). We sat at the bar, met a nice couple who had been in before and they raved about the great food. We ordered the Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms and Fried Brussels. They were delicious and plentiful so much so we shared our shareable with our new acquaintances. They shared their tender fried chicken sandwich and Chinese Donuts with us. For dinner I had the Meatballs and my husband had the Lasagna and again the portions were large. The lasagna is about 11 layers of delectable meat and sauce, the meatballs XL and very flavorful. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks made by Rob, while we were watching the action in the kitchen led by Walt. Our food was outstanding and everyone was so welcoming , just a friendly vibe from everyone there. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Mongolian Beef Udon

    What a great place. Stopped by for a late dinner. Delicious food and great portions for the price. Service was top notch too. Had one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, fried slice of prosciutto instead of bacon, a revelation. Soup for the side was rich and delicious. We also had the Mongolian beef udon noodles, more soup than stir fry, but wow. The flavor was amazing and it was huge. We took so much home. Also a side salad, which was closer to the size of a dinner salad at most restaurants. Drinks were good. This feels like a hidden gem in Lawrence. Really good deal for the price.

    Chef Walters Signature Lasagna

    This place is amazing. Has a very hip & cozy feeling to it. Best food I've had in a hot minute. They advertise small plates on their site but I have no idea what small plates they are talking about. I checked this place out with my husband and another couple. The waiter was very friendly fella. We asked questions & he knew the answers. He recommend "The Chicken" sandwich. Two of the people in my party ordered the chicken & it was a very big chicken sandwich. Each could only eat half. The other person in my party ordered "Chef Walters Signature Lasagna", after eyeing it at another diner's table. It was amazing & gigantic. If I had to guess the lasagna was 7"x7"x5". I'm ordering the lasagna next time! I wanted to order something different from the rest of my party. Based off the waiter's recommendation I ordered the Udon Shrimp in Light Thai Peanut Broth. It did not disappoint. I ended up getting 4 meals out of that dish. We each enjoyed a cocktail since it was New Year's Eve. I ordered a Aperol Cosmos, very light & amazing. We shared a couple of appetizers as well, Calamari & Whipped Goat Cheese with Garlic Fry Bread. Both were large & delightful. Some of the best Calamari I've ever ate. Can't recommend this place enough. There is some never ending road construction going on right out in front of the place. The whole street, ALL 4 lanes, was blocked off. We went around the block & parked in the back. You can park in the flower shop's parking area in back if it's after hours for the flower shop.

We started with the spicy hummus and I absolutely loved it. Next up was the small Greek salad. This was my husband's favorite part of the meal. It was an authentic Greek salad with no lettuce...delicious. I had the chicken piccata and would order it again. It was large and I was able to take half home. The drink menu was pretty dang good too. I had a glass of cava and my husband had a draft Peroni beer. The vibes match the location: it's intimate but in a busier part of town. The sound level easily allows you to talk to those at your table, but then there's plenty of people watching. Lastly, our server was great! We will definitely be back

We came during a "shift switch" if you may, and were seated with a PM server. It did take, more than I would consider "normal" to be greated, but the rest made up for that. She did do an amazing job of checking-in and providing water refills along with asking if we would need alcoholic refills. Overall I would 100% recommend this spot to someone else. Their sister restaurant Ragazza is just as amazing. Cheer!

With a nice outdoor patio right off a streetcar stop and a fun and fancy indoor, I always have so much fun here for dinner and drinks. I have been here for casual dinners, dates, anniversaries, and everything in between and have loved it every time! Everyone is always so kind and helpful, recommending their favorite plates and how much food should be enough for your party. They rotate out some of their plates periodically, keeping the menu fresh and new, while also keeping the classics that I love. My absolute favorite dish that I get every time is the grilled ricotta and bread as an appetizer. The ricotta is perfectly light and the bread is charred to perfection, I highly recommend it. Some other dishes we love (some not pictured): the cucumber salad, raw oysters, sautéed mushrooms. You really cannot go wrong I dream of going back to KC to order Extra Virgin again.

We didn't have reservations and were dressed casually. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and we were seated in what was referred to as the "other dining room," down a dark hallway into a musty, warm, and humid space. Service was prompt and courteous, but the food was very disappointing. We were served a cucumber salad that oddly tasted like peanuts, followed by six completely flavorless meatballs--no seasoning at all, not even salt. The prices might be reasonable if the quality matched expectations, but it didn't. The contrast between the main dining room and the "other room" also felt stark and uncomfortable, as if it were a second-tier seating area. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant based on this experience.

The restaurant appeared to be significantly understaffed, which likely contributed to several issues during our visit. I ordered the Steak & Two Eggs and requested my steak medium rare. It arrived well done with no pink whatsoever. While I understand mistakes happen, a steak cooked that far beyond the requested temperature is difficult to overlook, especially when it is one of the more expensive breakfast items on the menu. The breakfast potatoes were also inconsistent. Some pieces were cooked properly, while many others were extremely hard and crunchy when bitten into, creating an unpleasant texture and making the dish difficult to enjoy. To make matters worse, one of our meals was served on a chipped plate with a noticeable section missing from the rim. This should have been caught and removed from service before reaching a guest's table. The staff members we interacted with were friendly and professional despite clearly being stretched thin. Unfortunately, between the staffing shortage, the overcooked steak, the poorly prepared potatoes, and the chipped plate, the overall experience did not reflect the quality level suggested by the menu prices and atmosphere. There is potential here, but management needs to focus on staffing and quality control to ensure guests receive the experience they are paying for.

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.

Easy to find, good vibe overall. Only knock is price -- you're looking at $20-25 a drink, so this isn't a casual weeknight spot unless you're not watching the bill. Would go back for a special occasion or date night.
