Yall - run to Darna for their Turkish coffee and their french fries!!!…read more Darna delivers one of the most consistently impressive Mediterranean dining experiences in the Kansas City metro area. The Turkish coffee is undeniably the best in the region--rich, bold, and brewed to absolute perfection. Equally spectacular are the french fries, tossed in a signature seasoning blend that achieves an ideal balance of crispness and flavor, elevating them far beyond standard sides. The rest of the menu is just as superb. The falafel bowl, beef gyro, earthy lentil soup and tender, expertly rolled grape leaves round out an exceptional meal. Beyond the food, the service is remarkably warm, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling intrusive. Whether stopping in for a quick coffee break or a full Mediterranean spread, Darna sets a high bar for both culinary quality and hospitality.

They shake them in powdered sugar and give you icing and chocolate to go! They were amazing for breakfast the next morning! We would definitely stop here again.

Recently went to the Red Door for brunch. Had never been there before for brunch and thought the…read moremeal was good. Our party had the breakfast burrito, chicken fried chicken and the biscuits and gravy. All were good meals that we enjoyed. The only item was that the sunny side up eggs with the biscuits were a bit on the greasy side. But the meal was still good as the biscuits were not dry ( which is quite common at restaurants). The ambiance was good and the service was very attentive. We will be returning for brunch.

We came here for a casual dinner this week and were very happy with the service. The waitresses…read morekindly catered to seating us somewhere quiet, as my grandma has hard hearing and she was understanding about our preferences. We were seated instantly! The atmosphere in here is made rich by its dim lighting and slightly upscale dress code (not enforced, just naturally adapted by customer base). While it is a little loud, atleast you know it is popular for a reason. It's got the atmosphere and menu to definitely make a great anniversary, date night, or family reunion. Or like us, a special night out with family. The waitresses was happy to explain the drink menu and offered me a taste of the drafts. I ordered the fish sandwich fried and it was delicious! You can tell they make the ingredients from scratch here based on the full flavors and freshness. My mom got the enchiladas, she wished there had been more cheese. My grandma got the shrimp scampi, she wished for a little less lemon. I did try it and it is very strong in flavors of lemon and olive oil, so if that is your speed, try it for sure. I hadn't been here for some years, but this time definitely changed my mind. I will be coming back more often.

Went there for dinner last night to celebrate a birthday…read more We had the shrimp scampi and the pork chop. Both main courses were excellent. The scampi had a generous portion of good size shrimp. The pork chop was very thick and large yet was very flavorful and tender. The pork chop came with mashed potatoes and seasoned vegetables. However, in looking over the menu I saw they had a variety of sides. I asked if I could change me sides, which they were more than glad to do. I got the carrots and the cornbread. The carrots were delicious and there was a lot of them. The cornbread tasted good but was a little dry. Next time I would stay with the carrots but try something else. As I said the pork chop was very big and I took about half of it home. When I placed my order the waiter asked if I wanted to order a second pork chop, which I passed on. However, next time I may take him up on the offer and have an additional one to take home. All around I give it 5 stars. Also, we asked about desert. There was no desert menu nor a desert tray to help us make a decision. The waiter did rattle off the desert options, however this was kind of busy to follow. A desert menu or try would certainly go a lot further, as far as we are concerned. In summary, the food was outstanding, the service was very good and the atmosphere was pleasant.

It's been a minute since my last visit to Carmen's, and I'm happy to report that this cozy little…read morespot is still just as clean and the staff just as welcoming as I remembered. Since it was Taco Tuesday, I decided to mix and match a few items: The Puffy Tacos: Carmen's is famous for these, and they were incredibly tasty. If I'm being entirely honest, I remember them being just a little bit puffier on my last visit--but hey, that could easily be a figment of my imagination! Either way, the crispy beef flavor hit the spot. The Pork Tamale: This was the absolute star of the show. It was flat-out delectable. My only regret is that I didn't order two or three more to take home. The Sides: The refried beans were standard but solid. I ended up pairing the whole plate with some fresh avocado and a generous douse of Sriracha, which brought everything together perfectly. It's great to see a local favorite keeping up the hospitality and great food. I definitely won't wait so long to come back next time--especially when those tamales are calling my name!

I've been wanting to try this place out often as I pass it often. My BIL also told it was good…read more I ordered the Carne Asada Gordita Platter. It came with two Gorditas, rice and beans. I also ordered the chips and queso. The steak was seasoned well. I give the Gordita a 9/10. The rice and beans could've had more flavor. I give both a 6/10. The chips and queso 8/10. Chips tasted homemade. The queso was really good too! Customer service was good.

Drinks were great and strong and made well. A bit pricey. For apps we shared the shrimp and it was delicious. It was a bit sweeter than I expected for sure, but good flavor. Opted for the Cajun Ribeye, I was hungry so the picture may have been spared. The slaw was okay, so it wasn't my favorite as the side. My friend did the 3 courses and I would say it was definitely the better deal. Overall this place was great and next time I would opt for the 3 course meal

Wage that is always friendly and they have a very nice selection of shareable and handhelds. They have a pretty nice cocktail menu, but they can also make regular drinks at the bar if desired.... They don't skimp on the alcohol so that's always a plus. I've gotten the prime rib dip and loved it. This is definitely a prime go-to for us for a relaxing dinner it just cocktails outdoors.

I started with the jalapeño margarita, but honestly downed it before I even remembered to take a photo. My second was easily my favorite: their masterfully crafted Mango Margarita which felt like a fiesta going down. For dinner, I ordered the Combo #4 (tamale, pork burrito, and crispy beef taco). They were kind enough to swap in a deep-fried taco for free, and since I'm a habitual chip-dipper, I happily doubled down on the refried beans to satiate my dipping cravings. One friend had the skirt steak and raved about how tender it was and how nicely it was plated. I was able to get a quick pic before it disappeared from his plate! One small quirk: they don't keep salt and pepper on the tables, so you'll need to ask for them. Our server also seemed a little eager to rush us out the door even though the restaurant wasn't very busy.(we weren't having any of that and me especially after two margaritas, haha), but overall, great food and standout margaritas make this an easy spot to revisit!
