Created by the owners of Northstar Café, our next restaurant review is Third & Hollywood (named for the nearby street intersection). As with Northstar Café, Third & Hollywood sources the highest quality beef, pork, and poultry available, all raised humanely, using traditional methods without the use of antibiotics or growth hormones. Many of Third & Hollywood’s ingredients are locally grown, organic, or artisan produced.

We went to Third & Hollywood on a late Wednesday night with Stein’s brother and Miller’s unrelated sister. The evening began as we were escorted to our romantically lit booth and immediately greeted by our server who had a few great wine recommendations. After the drink selection we were offered an appetizer, which we declined primarily because we were ready for the main course. We have in the past, however, had the guacamole and cheese pimento dip, which is delectable.

Our booth was a comfortable temperature and we had a roaring fireplace in our peripherals, quite picturesque. After ordering dinner, we didn’t have to wait more then a 20-minute wait for our dinner. The presentation was impeccable and the plates were artfully decorated.

Miller ordered the corn and black bean burger with a side of mashed potatoes. The burger was full of flavor and was a nice blend of protein and vegetables. The homemade mashed potatoes were fresh and melted in your mouth.

Stein’s brother ordered the roasted chicken sandwich with the mashed potatoes. The chicken was cooked well and was accompanied by a slice of provolone. The sandwich was also decorated with red peppers, which added a fresh flavor to the dish. Stein’s brother also enjoyed the mashed potatoes and complimented the presentation.

Stein ordered the grilled fish sandwich with the fries. Stein thoroughly enjoyed his fish sandwich explaining that the fish was moist and the bun that was served was toasted nicely. The fries were seasoned with a tasty combination of spices.

Miller’s God-sister ordered an avocado and chicken salad. The bowl that the salad came in was two times what she had anticipated. She explained that the salad was fresh and the chicken that lay on top was juicy and full of flavor. The dressing, which she had on the side, was a nice accompaniment to the giant salad.

The service was consistently good throughout the entire dining experience and when the check arrived we weren’t too surprised at the somewhat higher than normal price tag associated with this meal. The prices were clearly labeled on the menu and gentlemen that they are; the Stein brothers generously treated the ladies to dinner.

We highly enjoyed our quiet, warm and tasty dinner experience at Third & Hollywood in Grandview and highly recommend the restaurant for a special dinner, anniversary or a date night where you’re trying to impress your date!
