Café Trio prides itself on offering "true urban sophistication." My husband and I visited this particular eatery for the second time since his move to Kansas City.
Positives: Location, Venue, Food, People
Negatives: No negatives to write home about
Overall: Paton and I enjoyed the great views of the Plaza from the terrace. Also, the menu featured fabulous mussels that we both loved. The eclectic crowd and vibrant showings of local artists was an interesting way to spend the evening.
Il Centro is an upscale casual Italian Bistro that takes its inspiration from Mediterranean neighborhood restaurants where people meet to sample the local wine. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, so thankfully Paton and I found an open table.
Positives: Food, atmosphere, Authenticity
Negatives: A little small and long wait (but worth the wait!)
Overall: Il Centro is located just off the Plaza in Brookside. Be prepared to wait as this place is tiny! The menu features great calamari with an exciting pesto dipping sauce. Also, Il Centro boasts the most authentic Italian pizza ever. This was a great find!
Grand Street Café is another must try in Kansas City. Although it was a little pricey, the experience with Paton was definitely worth it.
Positives: View of Plaza, Food
Negatives: A little expensive
Overall: From now on, we will go here on a Thursday night where the menu features half price bottles of wine under $75 which is an exceptional perk! Paton and I had the whole patio to ourselves which made for a great evening. We were particularly impressed with the great views of the Plaza. Menu favorites included the incredible ceviche and vibrant spring rolls. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Overall, the experience in Kansas City was wonderful. Although, as Dorothy says, there really is "no place like home." I'm glad to be back in Atlanta!
