Northland Dining...
Northland Dining...
We have a new guy (couple) that moved to KC's Northland from out of town and are looking for some good places to eat up north. I did my best, but I could use some help from those that live up that way. I think they are looking for "upscale" casual type stuff so I mentioned Parkville and Briarcliff, but he says anything from Liberty to Tiffany Springs to NKC is fine since they live in the 152 corridor.
Any suggestions?

Re: Northland Dining...
Do they want to "see and be seen"? If so I think I know who to ask.
Re: Northland Dining...
Probably, but good food too. Just a young, active couple. Don't worry, we show them all the urban core places .LenexatoKCMO wrote: Do they want to "see and be seen"? If so I think I know who to ask. :lol:
Re: Northland Dining...
I don't know the "upscale" so much, but I'd recommend Strouds, The Dish (never been, but people say it's good), The Power Plant, Smoke House BBQ (north oak or zona rosa).
And yeah, it looks like we need her help.

Re: Northland Dining...
i'm very fond of the italian place in zona rosa -- bravo? i've never had to wait for a table, plus they have a good wine selection and outdoor seating.
Re: Northland Dining...
Piropos and Trezo Mare (Briarcliff)
Re: Northland Dining...
Cascones, and Genghis Khan North. Also I liked the Indian place in Zona Rosa though the name escapes me right now. Madras, I think?
Re: Northland Dining...
Be sure to tell them about Hereford House at Zona Rosa. Their happy hour is a meal, the bartenders are awesome and it is just a fun place.
Happy Hour time at Bonefish is great too. Lots more people, a bit pretentious for our taste, but good food, nice drinks and good service.
Dinner is good at both places.
Bravo is one of my favorites. At Zona also.
Power Plant is thumbs down. I've never had a good meal there.
For pizza, Stone Canyon in Parkville has great pizza place food plus they have the balloon man on Friday nights for the kids.
For Mexican, Rancho Grande on 45 west of the National is good. They have daily specials.
Margarita's on North Oak is good also.
Cafe des Amis in Parkville is good but I haven't been there in a long time. French.
I've never been to either Piropos or Trezo, but all my friends who frequent upscale places say they both are over rated as is that one in Tuileries but I can't think of the name of it.
Where does your friend live?
More will come to me as I think of it.
Tomfooleries in Zona always has good food, but it is noisy and smells of stale smoke.
It is a beautiful night for either O'Dowd's or Gran Falloon's roofs.

Re: Northland Dining...
There is a Japanese knife throwing place in Parkville that has good food and service but I can't think of the name of it.
Genghis Kahn and Cascones are both good too.

Re: Northland Dining...
Cascone's and Margaritas are probably my two favorites up north. I also agree that Smokehouse is a good choice for BBQ...I prefer the Zona Rosa location to the one on North Oak. I'm glad to hear that The Dish is still open...by far the best pizza except maybe Stone Canyon.
Re: Northland Dining...
For home cooking-Corner Cafe in Liberty.

Re: Northland Dining...
Any relation to the Corner Cafe in Riverside? That place is awesome.

Re: Northland Dining...
Cafe des Amis in Parkville is excellent.
An interesting independent restaurant is the Malay Cafe on Barry Road (not far from I-29). It's a family owned hole-in-the-wall type of place but excellent food and generally good service. From my perspective, it is a "must" particularly if you enjoy discovering interesting independent places.
There is another excellent independent French restaurant in Liberty. Can't recall the name but it is off the square by a couple of blocks and is across from a woodworking place by the railroad tracks. If someone knows of it, please advise the name. I've been there several times and am consistently pleased.
The Elms Hotel in Excelsior Springs is typically very good to excellent. Their dining room on the mezzanine level is superb. Building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Strouds is very good though I still remember Sandy's Oak Ridge Manor and everything pales in comparison to that.

Re: Northland Dining...
For breakfast I would say Corner Cafe in "Liberty" off 152 & Flintlock which is actually KCMO. Since I'm a fatass I order the Big B.

Re: Northland Dining...
Also I recommend La Fuente in Kearney. Great food and you'll be out of there in 45 minutes tops. I think there's also one recently opened on the Liberty square.

Re: Northland Dining...
Malay Cafe is indeed excellent. It is right around the corner from Panera on Barry Road.
The French restaurant in Liberty is great too, but I can't think of the name of it either.
La Fuente is great also. Great service too.

Re: Northland Dining...
Thanks everybody, especially Nota .
Is that place on Barry still there? It's on the north side of Barry around Platte Purchase I think in a big estate looking home. I forgot what it's called and I have never been there, but it seemed upscale.
