We ate here tonight and we will not go back. The restaurant was nearly empty and each table had a different server that wasn't serving any other tables. Despite that, the service was painfully slow. Our menus were spattered with old food. We got a glass of wine, a cup of soup, the cheese plate appetizer, and both of us got the chimichurri marinated flat iron steak. We enjoyed the cheese plate but felt it was very overpriced at $22 for a moderate serving size. The soup was okay. Our steaks were extremely bland, and neither were cooked to the temperature we ordered. My fiance asked for a medium steak and his was very rare on one side and overdone to the point of being inedible on the other. Mine was supposed to be medium rare and it was rare on one side and medium well on the other. Both were served sliced so the kitchen should have been able to clearly see that the temperature was off. The sides were also bland. We wanted to ask for chimichurri to season the steak more, but after our food came out, we didn't see our server for 30 minutes. When we finally requested the chimichurri and tried a bite, it was awful. It was definitely not chimichurri. At that point, we gave up on dinner and decided to just eat somewhere else later. The final bill came out to $130, which we would have been happy to pay if the food had been tasty, but it feels like such a rip off for food we didn't even eat. We left with almost a whole steak still on the plate and the server didn't even ask about it.

My salmon was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The snap peas were tasty.. I just prefer steamed but did not ask how they were prepared. Caesar salad would have been so much better if they had used half the amount of dressing. Im not a fan of soggy salad. But again, that's just me. Service though was impeccable. Very attentive and friendly. Very clean. They'd added outside seating since I was there last and it was very inviting.

Was at a small banquet here. The young lady who was our server did an excellent job. The food was excellent, too. Thank you!

Went there for Mother's Day dinner and the menu said for the Mother's Day dinner they would have lamb and steak but they had neither on the menu when we got there. They also ran out of certain dishes while we was there as well. Then they told me they was low on beer as well. It was far too expensive for the dishes, especially fish and chips at $28. If you're going to charge me that much invest in buying some new tables that aren't all scuffed up. Waitress was very nice though. Needless to say we left very disappointed because I wanted the lamb and my mother wanted steak.

We love this place! We just don’t understand why restaurants in Eastern Jackson County aren’t open on Sunday? We either drive to Lee’s Summit or The Plaza on Sunday to dine...Just seems odd

Just wondering why your restaurants aren’t reopening? The rest of our favorites throughout the city have reopened, and appear to be doing well. We just find it odd that you wouldn’t want to get things up and running sooner than later!

Good question. The McClain's have most of the square closed down. I am sure there is a very good reason.
