  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 s쳮ds 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.

  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.

  Came to Kansas City for a few days to visit some friends over NYE. I do a lot of research before I arrive, and I find the best restaurants in town. Gram & Dun was one of those restaurants. We show up for our reservations and get seated for a wonderful meal.
  
  Ambiance was surreal. The vibes inside were that of a modern Italian kitchen inside of a Southern parlor room. I know that doesn't make any sense, but it's true. And the restaurant looks out upon the quaint downtown street of this Kansas City suburb through giant, floor-to-ceiling windows. So beautiful.
  
  Service was great, as well. The server knew the menu very well, and was able to answer a few questions, guiding me to the correct thing to order. The apps, entrees, and dessert were all paced well, too. Service lead to a lovely evening.
  
  As for the food, we started off with the Not-So-Standard Potato Chips (parmesan, sauce flight: gold sauce, comeback sauce, black pepper bourbon ketchup). These were very good. House cooked chips that were just thick enough, had a good bite to them, and were absolutely covered in luscious parm. The sauce flight was fun, too. Keep the leftovers around to pair with the rest of your meal.
  
  Onto the Low Country Pimento Cheese (fried saltine crackers, candied black pepper bacon, bread & butter pickles, tomato jalapeño jam). Hillbilly charcuterie. Lots of fun to mix and match some bacon, some pickles, a little jam, all on those very unctuous Saltines. Very fun app.
  
  My main was the Brick Pressed Chicken (lemon & thyme brine, prosciutto & sausage bread pudding, caramelized cabbage, lemon & shallot cream sauce). Chicken was cooked to a charred perfection, that savory bread pudding was just an amazing as it sounds, and the cream sauce really brightened everything up. I don't usually get chicken, but I'm telling you, this was the chicken to get.
  
  I also got to try one of the nightly specials, some sort of cheesy parmesan pasta covered in black truffle shavings. It was as extravagant as it sounds. Fresh-made pastas, giant chunks of lobster, cheesy ooey gooey, and those truffle shavings add just a touch of class and umami that really made this a good pasta dish.
  
  We finished up with the Gram & Dun Bar (chocolate peanut and pretzel nougat, marshmallow cream cheese, chocolate mousse, peanut butter ice cream). Again, another thing I don't usually go for, the dessert bar, but this place did it in a way I haven't seen before.
  
  Each layer added to the dessert. Nougat, cream cheese, and mousse, all tied together with that cold, creamy peanut butter ice cream. So so good.
  
  Overall, as good as this place was on paper, Gram & Dun really blew me away. Really elegant food, found right in the heart of the country. It was a pleasant surprise, and I would come back in a heartbeat.

  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.

  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
