I love this place, have been a regular for over a decade now, but out of all the nights to have a terrible experience it had to be my 1st anniversary. The host was rude and dismissive, on his phone at the front desk. He was very obviously annoyed by the timing of our entry. The restaurant was at about 30% capacity and it still took 10 minutes for our server to make first contact, and another 20 minutes before we got our drink order. We were cut off while ordering because she said that we had ordered plenty (5 plates, including the mezze spreads, mushrooms, oysters, 6 shrimp and the fudgy eggs). We wanted to order more but our server insisted we had ordered enough. We ordered west coast oysters and received east coast, not a big deal, we had a dozen or so flies greet us at the table and join us for dinner, attacking our plates, there were several black hairs on our mushrooms and fudgy eggs. There was zero mention of our anniversary, which isn't a big deal, but why ask if we are celebrating a special occasion when booking then? We were not asked if we wanted dessert, and received our bill unprompted, before having the opportunity to order dessert or nightcap. It was a horrible way to spend our first anniversary, so deeply disappointing. I'll be back, but the bar has definitely been lowered to the floor as far as future expectations go. Thanks for the less than mediocre anniversary experience.

"dirty, tired environment" mgr met us with a frown when we walked in, needs to learn to smile and be friendlier even if that is not his demeanor. Lots of attitude in that place. No one thanked us when the check was brought or when we left.

Unimpressive. Food quality and service were less than half what they should be at this price point. We visited here once some years back and decided to try it again. No improvement, so at least they're consistent. Excellent presentation - credit where credit is due.

We’ve always enjoyed extra virgin. The service is excellent. And it’s a nice place. However the food was disappointing. This time around everything was just OK and for $80 we expect better.

Extra Virgin is one of our favorites in KC. The food is always great. The service is spot on. It's a lively and hip spot. We realized on this visit that we had to be the oldest patrons in the building - but that won't stop us from returning!

The food was very good and servers were all very pleasant, but our server seemed to forget about us a bit. It didn't seem too busy though which was odd. The inside of the restaurant and menus could use a little updating. Overall though I would definitely go back.
