   We had a wonder time at Johnnie’s. It is our first time in Kansas City and I wanted my wife to experience some Kansas City jazz for our anniversary. The food was delightful, the drinks were great and the music was capturing. We had a great evening.

   Wonderful place and amazing food! Customer service had potential, however due to presumable staff shortages, our server was overwhelmed. She forgot to place our order and then the order was wrong. We weren’t mad and they made it right without our asking. We get it - it happens. We will definitely be back!!

   There are pros and cons of this restaurant experience.. Pros: If you would like lots of musical entertainment, as well as delicious food, this is the place to go! However, if you are there for more of a date night, I would recommend requesting to sit on the other side of the restaurant where you can’t see the stage, because the music is very loud. Cons: However, if you are in any sort of time crunch, it’s definitely not the place. The service was pretty poor and it seemed like there was absolutely no communication amongst the staff and that nobody was actually assigned to serve certain tables, because they were all pretty much roaming the whole restaurant.. The table service was very inconsistent, and we were there an hour before we ordered our dinner.

   Johnnie's Jazz Bar & Grille at The Power and Light DistrictResponded on July 27, 2022Thank you for the feedback! We are continuing to work on training. We so appreciate your feedback and join us! We hope to see you again soon.

    The waiter and bar wait time is horrible. Bar staff takes a long time to prepare drinks and then it takes even longer for your drink to be brought to you-which means our drinks are watered down especially the on the rocks. Food was faster than the bar and it was good and fresh. Music was great!

    We love Johnnys Bar and Grill for a before show experience or simply to enjoy the ambiance and music on stage. We had a fun time and service got us our dinners and out the door to our next venue.

    Great service, great food, great music! Side of fries $5 is enough for 4! The live music started early- jazz trio just right for conversation in the high tops away from the stage. Serious listeners in the lounge seats up front. Liz our server got it right with multiple substitutions on food! Unique drinks as well.

    I recently went on their monthly drag night and it was fabulous! Usually when you watch a drag show the queens will lip-synch, but the queens in the show all sang and they were amazing! this is a great place to go for some entertainment and wonderful food, I really enjoyed it.

    Wonderful addition to KC's Power and Light District! Live Jazz, great cocktails and delicious food; classy but not pricey. So glad B & B Theaters took over this space and made it their own. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Went for a pop up Potter experience and it was underwhelming, the menu and drinks were good the vibe was lacking. Maybe b/c it was not a trivia night and it was not crowded but the decor was just ok

    As soon as we walked in we were greeted and it was super cool! There was cute decor everywhere and photo ops. The staff was very friendly. We went on a night where there wasn’t any trivia live music which was disappointing but everything else was awesome.

    While the OpenFable listing offered a dinner/show reservation for 9:30 pm, we arrived at 9:15 only to be told the kitchen had closed at 9:00 and the music would end at 9:30. Not nice since late night dining in KC is limited. The host, when asked, did refer us to somewhere nearby. Not much of a save for a bad stumble. I won’t risk booking it again.

    Drinks were pretty pricey for what it was. I got a Butter Beer inspired drink, with butterscotch Shnapps, and well vodka…. It was $14. It was Harry Potter themed pop up bar which looked amazing, I was a little disappointed that the jazz band they had for that night was not playing Harry Potter inspired music. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The food menu for this event was very limited but the fish and chips we got were amazing. Overall was a very nice experience, but don’t come expecting a big Harry Potter experience.

    Lights could be dimmer. And something to block the view to the movie theater would help the atmosphere.

    I traveled to KC with my HS Jazz students and we were excited to take part in the jazz jam. The only issue we had was with getting reservations made. I could not get anyone on the phone and ended up making 3 reservations through open table but only 2 of them were successful. However, the manager took care of us and explained the reason for the lack of communication which was very understandable. Ultimately, my students and I had a great time, great food, and great service. Even though the wait staff was short sided, I feel we were taken care of very well and with laughs and smiles. I would definitely visit Johnies again and bring my students back for another event.

    Service was extremely slow from the time we sat down until we were served. Our table of four was seated immediately, but it took at least 10 minutes before a server greeted us. The online menu had significantly more options than the one page menu we were handed and were told they were “working their way to the increased offerings.” We placed our orders. About 10 minutes later a group of 4 were seated near us at the bar and were served their food 10-15 minutes later including burgers. We were told our food was almost ready and it was another 10-15 minutes to receive ours (salads, a vegetarian wrap and salmon - shorter cook/prep times than burgers). The food was fair, certainly not the 4.1 stars reviews I saw. Don’t think I’ll return, there are better options in the area.
