    *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 almost all of the time and may be placed online through Open Table. The Bistro is run by several Exec Chefs and staffed entirely by SMSD students. Since it is a learning environment, the menu rotates frequently. The menu choices are limited to a handful of options (around 6 each, for all three courses), but every meal we have had here was delicious; with well selected food combinations, perfectly prepared and excellently plated. The chefs in charge do a fantastic job of making sure that the dining experience is top notch. Also, there are usually desserts (and maybe other items) available for purchase to go in the display near the cashier. Since students staff all aspects of operations, expect your maitre d, servers and bus staff to still be learning the trade, and adjust your behavior accordingly. If you like to be critical of service personnel, take your business elsewhere, as these kids are working their tails off to do the best job possible. But, if you want a 5-star dining experience while helping young men and women master a trade, you would do well to dine here often.

    Amazing food, and equally as amazing service. Joel was a treat to have take of us. He was knowledgeable of the menu and was always making sure we were satisfied with our visit. He even gave us a tour at the end of our meal. Overall a very good experience.

    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. The students 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 as the 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!

    A breath of freshness. A great experience. Loved supporting the chefs of tomorrow. High school teen staff were extremely polite and eager to make sure you enjoyed your experience. Food was phenomenal. I would recommend to anyone.

    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 the bistro was not in operation.

    This place is amazing and one of my fave places to eat. I can't wait to go back to see what's on the 2018 menu!!

    Make your reservations a week prior or you may not get a table. It's that good. Aside from the food, what stands out to me are the young people learning a craft and making a wonderful impression on the community.

    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 range from interesting to wonderful. We had the beets salad and the Hot Chicken as the first course. The flavors for each were savory without being rich. The second courses of Walleye Almondine and the Birria stew were just the right amount. The third courses were a Banofee and mine was a skillet style Apple Crisp. Just the right temperature and flavor. Presentation was outstanding on all courses. Plus we were offered a cauliflower bisque sample at the beginning and a chocolate chip cookie as a final touch to take with us. Service was slightly uneven, but as good as what we have experienced at much higher priced establishments. The Broadmoor is only are available on Wednesdays during the school year. And the menu varies from Fall to Spring. Covid protective measures are in place to assure comfort. As a final note, be sure to check out the bakery/pastry selection as you leave. You may discover one more item to purchase. Price (12/21) is $35/3 course meal. This is an outstanding bargain when you consider the quality, variety as well as assisting in a learning process. Gratuity is like any other restaurant. Bottom line, If you want a great cuisine experience on a Wednesday, try the Broadmoor Bistro.

    Ordered for Thanksgiving. Wow. Just wow. I ordered sage stuffing, a breakfast casserole, rolls and a butterscotch apple pie. Pick up was so organized. I received instructions and a map by email the day before pick up. Driving into the lot I was assigned a parking space and my food was brought directly to my car. And the food, absolutely perfect and beautiful. What an incredible program to support in such an easy way- these chefs are talented and I appreciate all the work they did to make my Thanksgiving a success.
