Reviews for Broadmoor Bistro @ The Center for Academic Achievement in Overland Park, KS

*Note* This is not a standard restaurant. This is part of the Vo-Tec program at Shawnee Mission School District. The Bistro is... only open for certain times of the year and typically serves dinner only on Wednesday nights. Reservations are required almostall of the time and may be placed online through Open Table. The Bistro is run by several Exec Chefs and staffed entirely bySMSD students. Since it is a learning environment, the menu rotates frequently. The menu choices are limited to a handful ofoptions (around 6 each, for all three courses), but every meal we have had here was delicious; with well selected foodcombinations, perfectly prepared and excellently plated. The chefs in charge do a fantastic job of making sure that the diningexperience is top notch. Also, there are usually desserts (and maybe other items) available for purchase to go in the displaynear the cashier. Since students staff all aspects of operations, expect your maitre d, servers and bus staff to still belearning the trade, and adjust your behavior accordingly. If you like to be critical of service personnel, take your businesselsewhere, as these kids are working their tails off to do the best job possible. But, if you want a 5-star dining experiencewhile helping young men and women master a trade, you would do well to dine here often. Read more

How do you have a quality meal experience while helping students learn the elements of restaurant management and a potential... career as a chef? By visiting the Broadmoor Bistro of course! The atmosphere is like any other restaurant with industrial chic.But the food offered is outstanding. You will have multiple offerings of each course in a three course meal. The choices rangefrom interesting to wonderful. We had the beets salad and the Hot Chicken as the first course. The flavors for each were savorywithout being rich. The second courses of Walleye Almondine and the Birria stew were just the right amount. The third courseswere a Banofee and mine was a skillet style Apple Crisp. Just the right temperature and flavor. Presentation was outstanding onall courses. Plus we were offered a cauliflower bisque sample at the beginning and a chocolate chip cookie as a final touch totake with us. Service was slightly uneven, but as good as what we have experienced at much higher priced establishments. TheBroadmoor is only are available on Wednesdays during the school year. And the menu varies from Fall to Spring. Covid protectivemeasures are in place to assure comfort. As a final note, be sure to check out the bakery/pastry selection as you leave. You maydiscover one more item to purchase. Price (12/21) is $35/3 course meal. This is an outstanding bargain when you consider thequality, variety as well as assisting in a learning process. Gratuity is like any other restaurant. Bottom line, If you want agreat cuisine experience on a Wednesday, try the Broadmoor Bistro. Read more

I don't want to be too critical as I am also a product of a hotel school, but if you intend to post your hours of operation on... the internet please insure they are correct. My wife and I came by today for the first time (after checking the hours) and thebistro was not in operation. Read more

My husband and I have gone almost every week this school year to Broadmoor Bistro. The food is delicious and the new space is... amazing. The bistro is student run with their chef instructors help and guidance. It is truly a wonderful experience. Thestudents work very hard and take a lot of pride in their work whether they are out front serving diners or in the back cooking.The guest chefs that come in from around the country to mentor the students is a fantastic opportunity for the kids as well asthe diners to explore food. We enjoy going just the two of us or with a group of friends. We encourage everyone to check it out!Don?t skip the tour of the new kitchen if you go, it?s incredible! Read more
