KANSAS CITY GO... EAT

JJ’s

This cozy restaurant is one of KC’s longest operating independent restaurants, open for 26 years. Duck confit sits atop a crostini with white-bean purée, quail is exquisitely grilled, and osso buco is tender and hearty. Though the ambience is casual, the 1,800-bottle wine list is equal to those of the country’s finest restaurants. $$$$ (03/2011)
