A meal in downtown Excelsior Springs gives Kearney readers another nearby dining option during Halloween week.

 

Ventana Gourmet Grill, at 117 West Broadway Avenue, says it has served the city since 2002 in a historic dining room.

 

The restaurant recommends reservations and provides an online booking link on its official website.

The posted menu ranges from Burrata–Chetta, with roasted pepper and tomato bruschetta, to Garden Chicken, pesto shrimp and several pasta dishes.

 

For a steak dinner, the menu lists options including a KC strip, while prime rib and ribeye are marked for Friday and Saturday.

 

Check the live menu for current prices, ingredients and availability when making plans.

Save room for dessert: the menu lists gourmet cheesecake, bread pudding and a brownie sundae.

 

The restaurant’s posted hours are 4–8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

 

It is closed Sunday, so November 1 is not a dining option under that schedule.
