We recently attended National Caviar Day at the Oread in Lawrence, KS. Even though we were the only…read morereservation, the staff went above and beyond. Restaurant Manager Alex Tuckwin and Chef Ty Armstrong created a personal, unforgettable evening. Each course was beautifully prepared, each wine pairing thoughtfully chosen. The flavors, the setting, the kindness-all exceptional. I didn't know my taste buds could be so astounded! We felt welcomed, relaxed, and truly cared for. It was a five star experience in the heart of a college town. A hidden gem we'll remember for a long time. The Oread is home to two true artists-Alex Tuckwin and Ty Armstrong- and we are so grateful to have experienced their work.

8 pm.-10 pm: Late happy hour starts and it's MUCH cooler on the roof of The Oread at that time…read more The view is amazing anytime but the sunset.....it's spectacular. There's no blender on the 9th floor so don't ask for a blended drink. There are a few appetizers on the menu and they are quickly brought up from the bar in the lobby. We tried the pretzels and they were really good, hot and fresh. Relaxing to hang out and meet new people. There is a sail covering over part of the bar, but honestly, even though it was 100 degrees during the day, it was quite pleasant at 8 PM on the roof.

Hands down the coolest patio/bar/viewing spot in the entire city, hands down. Nothing close, and…read moregetting here you'll see the city and KU Campus as you've never seen it before. There's a small bar serving quality beers, wine and mixed drinks to boot, plenty of outdoor seating and on the weekends usually a band from 7-10 p.m. Typically a $5 cover for the latter, well worth it in my opinion. A large tarp covers a good part of top in case the sun is still out and you want in the shade. To get here, take the elevators around the back side of the front lobby to the top floor (8th... I think). From there it's one flight up and through a set of doors. Added bonus: because you're so high up, in the summer that means no biting insects you'll get if at ground level, and I've never been here when there wasn't a light breeze, so cooler. And the views, well. Where else can watch planes taking off from Lawrence's tiny airport, see the cars streaming along I-70, and the tops of downtown, the gazebo in South Park, look down into the football stadium and more? Nowhere. Simply worth coming as a destination in and of itself. No excuse needed. Great spot to simply sit and watch the sun go down and enjoy a beverage. Very highly recommended.

This Lawrence speakeasy is hidden in plain sight…read more You have to make a rez and the rez is only good for up to 2 hours. It's small and cozy and I don't think it seats more than 40ish people. The drinks are strong but creative and delicious. No food served just snacks like peanuts and such. We ordered 2 rounds: French no. 5 - their take on a French 75. A spritz of Chanel no.5 is attached to the drink. Grandma's Gun is hot and strong mulled wine. And finally we had the No Blood Only Lipstick which was the most expensive drink on the menu but worth every sip. The service is wonderful! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Gender neutral restrooms. While the drinks are spendy, it's definitely worth the experience. If in Lawrence it's worth a stop.

I got pretty blitzed before a mom's weekend event and took my mom here, she loved it and got me out of the doghouse for not being able to stand straight.

3 rd and final review of 715 as I will not be returning. If I could give it 0 star I would. 5 yrs…read moreago I gave it 5 stars and 2 yrs ago I gave it 2 stars because they served me a 38.00 chicken parm which menu said chicken parm w mushroom risotto and what they gave me was grits w a chicken parm of thigh meat! Chicken parm is not made w thigh meat anywhere! Seems like it was a way to use a 1.50 piece of chicken and .50 of grits and charge 38.00. Last night may 30 i ordered the chicken milanese w breast meat as you can see from my attachment from menu. Nope once again took a cut of the chicken and dark meat again and I hate dark meat. Cut it in half and showed waitress who went and talked to the kitchen. They said that when they butcher the chicken they sometimes get thigh meat w the breast???? What? Unbelievable that a manager didn't come to discuss but 35.00 bucks for thigh and arugula salad is robbery. She was kind enough to take off bill but still feel 715 is trying to pull one over again which might explain all the empty seats as well. Have shared this story w a few folks who have said it has gone downhill in the last several months. The prices you charge are over the top. Plenty of other places in town to eat like q39 where you can get a 3 meat platter w 2 sides and order of wings for the same price as 715's chicken thigh and arugula salad! Ok after this i am done. Here in mexico and ordered the chicken parm at the marriott and guess what cut of chicken they used? Breast just like 99% of the world except 715. They should be embarassed
