    Lawrence, Kansas is fortunate have Culinaria in our midst. The atmosphere is awesome, the food is amazing, and the beverage list (especially the creative cocktails and wines) is wonderful. It's the kind of place where we can take visitors from out of town and they say, Wow, it feels like we're not in Kansas anymore!

    Our party of four included our D-I-L who is vegetarian. This is her favorite restaurant in Kansas, and it never fails to offer delicious meatless options. Meat eater that I am, I loved the pork tenderloin that was served with rice and a sort of tomato ragout. The Banana Foster after dinner drink was amazing!

    My wife and I are self processed foodies and very health conscious. We found the small plates during happy hour to be wonderful Mediterranean influenced fare. The selections we chose were packed with flavor.

    This is our favorite, go to restaurant. The food is delicious and very unique to Lawrence. There isn't any place like it. The service is always great and the bar is nice too. Since it's small, see cozy, reservations on the weekend are a good idea. And it can be a little noisy. But the crab cakes, hummus, pickles, pot roast and on and on more than make up for it!

    The food was very good. My table enjoyed two appetizers, three entrees, and the cream brulle. Culinaria Mediterranean is on my "go to" list.
