Romantic Dates in Overland Park
Love is in the air, or maybe you just need a reason to dress up and go out.
Either way, here are five of Overland Park's most swoon-worthy dinner destinations.
McGregor’s Butcher & Bistro
When the goal is a dinner that feels warm and unrushed, McGregor’s Butcher & Bistro is an easy choice.
The restaurant's menu centers on using the highest grade beef, seafood, pork and poultry from local farmers. Their commitment to quality ingredients makes the experience even better.
Stepping inside, the restaurant boasts a charming blend of old-fashioned butcher shop meets refined dining bistro... A fusion that's as rare as it is captivating, promising an unforgettable date night.
Both the Chilean Sea Bass and Steak Flight are incredible choices, especially paired with a nice bottle of wine or infused cocktail.
Oh, and the hospitality is top-notch. Hands down, McGregor’s ranks among the top culinary experiences you can get in the entire Kansas City area.
Of Course Kitchen & Company
For a dinner date that feels intentional, reserve a table at Of Course Kitchen & Company.
Chef Swetha Newcomb’s recent James Beard Award semifinalist nod for Best Chef: Midwest adds even more excitement to an already special spot.
Inside, you’ll find soft lighting and an open kitchen that lets you watch the team at work. Tables are spaced in a way that gives you privacy, and the bar offers a cozy alternative if you prefer sitting side by side.
You may go in planning to order something else, but we highly recommend the smash burger + peri peri fries. The crisp edges give it texture and depth, and the curry ketchup is so good that you'll want to order a bottle to take home.
Redrock Canyon Grill
Famous for its wood-fired rotisserie chicken and Southwest-inspired cuisine, this bustling restaurant is clearly a date night favorite in Overland Park.
Redrock Canyon Grill exudes a modern charm, with its sleek decor and dimly lit ambiance setting the stage for an intimate dining experience.
A standout menu recommendation? That’d be the stuffed poblano: a concoction of rotisserie chicken, chipotle sour cream, black bean salsa, and salsa verde that steals the show.
And to top it all off, you'll want to treat yourself to the decadent bourbon cake with a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Absolutely delish!
Aubrey Vineyards
Aubrey Vineyards sits about 1,500 miles from Napa Valley, though it doesn’t feel that way once you arrive.
The drive in sets the tone, with rows of vines leading you toward the red barn that anchors the property.
Step inside the Vineyard Tasting Room and experience a Napa-like wine tasting with over 15 well-crafted wines available for tastings or by the glass.
Pair your selection with a curated charcuterie board stacked with meats, cheeses, crackers, hummus, and nuts, or order a flatbread and a seasonal small plate to share.
Add something sweet at the end (plus a dessert wine) and call it an afternoon well spent.
Garozzo's Ristorante
If the goal is romance with a side of red sauce, Garozzo’s Ristorante understands the assignment.
The lighting is low enough to feel intimate without trying too hard, and the scent of garlic and simmering marinara hits before you even open the menu.
This is the place where you split a bottle of wine, twirl pasta slowly, and talk longer than you planned.
Try the famous Chicken Spiedini or the Stuffed Artichoke and prepare to be transported to Italy.
