Gram & Dun

Grilled Spanish octopus was good. I enjoyed it. I was craving sushi, and the flying dragon roll hit the spot perfectly! Great flavor. I loved it! My husband really liked the chicken and waffle. The poblano cream corn brûlée is quite possibly the yummiest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. The German chocolate cake had a strong chocolate flavor that we liked. The Dun Bar is what I think my dessert was called and it was amazing! I haven’t had a dessert like it and it was perfection. The desserts were portioned for sharing in our opinion. They were quite large. Overall, portions were very adequate. Not like the small plate restaurants. But not so massive that you feel like you’re at a Cracker Barrel or something. This is one of my new favorite restaurants. Possibly my favorite. Service was good. No complaints.

Sunlight and space set the mood at Gram & Dun, where the dining room feels calm, modern, and quietly inviting. Located on the Country Club Plaza, the restaurant balances polish with comfort, offering a setting that encourages you to settle in rather than rush through a meal. The fried blackened catfish is the clearest expression of the kitchen’s strengths. The fillet arrives generously sized, its crust crisp and well seasoned, delivering warmth and spice without overwhelming the fish itself. Inside, the catfish remains moist and flaky, cooked with care and restraint. A creamy sauce adds richness, while a charred lemon brings brightness and balance, keeping the dish grounded and focused. Everything on the plate feels intentional. Garnishes are there for flavor, not decoration, and the interplay between spice, acidity, and richness is well judged. It is satisfying food that does not try to prove a point. Cocktails follow the same philosophy. They are fresh, balanced, and easy to enjoy, complementing the meal rather than competing with it. The room, filled with natural light, wood tones, and greenery, reinforces that sense of ease. Gram & Dun succeeds by knowing exactly what it is. It offers familiar flavors, carefully refined, in a space that feels welcoming rather than staged. In a neighborhood defined by elegance, it delivers something simpler and more enduring: a comfortable room, confident cooking, and food that invites you back without insisting on attention.

Perfect place for our GNO dinner during our Christmas weekend at the plaza❤️ Great atmosphere and exceptional food choices. The Hanger Steak dinner was cooked perfectly, as well as the Brick Pressed Chicken. We met Stephen as he walked through checking on tables. He has some great stories to share! We'll be back!

This visit was disappointing from the start. The food had almost no flavor and nothing on the table showed any real effort. We ordered the breakfast burrito, biscuits and gravy, waffles, and beignets. Every dish came out bland. The beignets were the low point. They were heavy, doughy, and served with a gross apple butter that only made them worse. Anyone who has had real beignets in New Orleans will notice the miss instantly. The table next to us tried one, pushed the plate aside, and left the rest untouched. That says it all. The Bloody Mary was solid and the drink menu is priced fairly. The drawback is the quiet upcharge when they ask if you want Tito’s. The service was painfully adequate, never rude but never engaged. Overall this is a forgettable place. Nothing was memorable and nothing would bring us back. Three out of five feels generous but fair

Such a great brunch spot in Kansas City! They have a good selection of entrees for both meat eaters and vegetarians. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles! The waffle is so fluffy and cooked to perfection. Their Hugo Spritz is also a MUST try if you’re in to drinks with your brunch. It was so good, ordered two! The service was great and the atmosphere in the restaurant is cute and cozy.
