The 15 Best Restaurants in Lawrence, Home of the University of Kansas | Eater

"Kansas may be landlocked, but that doesn’t stop restaurateur Laura Klein and her team from sourcing amazing seafood. The menu features globally inspired dishes such as unagi-style ruby trout, ahi tuna nachos, and a classic French preparation of PEI mussels with dry vermouth, leeks, and tarragon butter. Diners can choose between East and West Coast oysters and peruse a thoughtfully crafted wine list. On a beautiful day, hit up the patio overlooking lively Mass Street and take advantage of happy hour with a half order of fish-and-chips or $2 oysters." - Erin Socha
