That?s why Carl and Susan Thorne-Thomsen plan to call their new Prairie Village restaurant Story. The operation, in the Prairie Village Shopping Center at 3931 W. 69th Terrace (formerly Natural Wear), is scheduled to open by late May.
Is anyone else unimpressed by all the restuarants that's hook seems to be "local and/or sustainable?" I feel that should be a given in today's society - what are you doing with the local/sustainable ingredients that will differentiate your restaurant?KCMax wrote: PV gets another restaurant. Makes sense to me, the area demographic is changing to a lot more DINKs and gays as the older population...ahem..dies out. Makes sense to replace the Jose Peppers and Tippin's of the world with local, more gourmet places - plus you can still appeal to those in south KC/Waldo and NE JoCo.
Restaurant called Story has tales to tell
and so on.First in the area
Blue Springs may snag the area’s first Ross Dress for Less store.
“The ‘story’ also is about where the food comes from, the local farmer who raised it and then how the chef composes those products,” Carl Thorne-Thomsen said. “Your favorite food is sort of autobiographical in a way, what you like, just like your favorite color.”droopy wrote: Is anyone else unimpressed by all the restuarants that's hook seems to be "local and/or sustainable?"

I'm sorry, did you not see the bass player? He was not there before.chrizow wrote: is it me or do most of those renderings look 95% the same as the current photograph?
Maybe that's to reflect the new sales tax rate, which is 9.525%.chrizow wrote: is it me or do most of those renderings look 95% the same as the current photograph?
Buckley also told the committee the company had made a strategic decision to focus on "infill" real estate projects, as opposed to new developments on the outskirts of the metro area. "You can't keep leapfrogging good existing infrastructure and building further and further out," he said. "You see that along 135th Street today. People ask why 135th isn't doing too well. It's because they didn't have a guy like J.C. Nichols planning that area."
Kind of an odd review from Charles Feruzza as he really likes the place, but doesn't seem to like half the stuff they served him. I guess my impression wasn't that much different - the place seems nice, they seem really eager to please (the owner was everywhere trying to keep people happy), but the food just seemed decidedly average. My wife had the fajita sliders Charles liked, but she found them dry and bland. I had a salmon sandwich and it was okay, nothing special. We ordered something for the boy off the kids menu - which I don't usually like doing because very few restaurants portion it well or offer anything good for kids, but we wanted to try a lot of their dishes. Anyway, I was pleased they offered green beans. I was not pleased the green beans were smothered in butter and barely cooked.KCMax wrote: Tavern in the Village is now open.

How would you rate this joint on the kid friendly scale? I am interested in checking it out, but from reading at the review, menus, etc. it doesn't strike me as a good place for 2 kids in the 5 and under age group. Thanks.KCMax wrote: Kind of an odd review from Charles Feruzza as he really likes the place, but doesn't seem to like half the stuff they served him.

Its got a very clean, modern decor and the service was quite good so I'll give them another shot. I think the place fits the demo well, residents want a place that's a step above Johnny's Tavern, but maybe not at the level of Cafe Provence. They just have to step up the food.
Wow some common sense finally, let's hope they keep doing that.Buckley also told the committee the company had made a strategic decision to focus on "infill" real estate projects, as opposed to new developments on the outskirts of the metro area.

Its fine for kids. Its PV, so there were kids at the other tables. I just wasn't really impressed with the kids menu. I'd just order for yourselves and maybe get them an appetizier and let them nibble off everything.SAC wrote: How would you rate this joint on the kid friendly scale?
