    We were celebrating our Anniversary and have been here before. While initially excited about being given a table with a window view, we were a bit disappointed to have a family with 3 young children seated right next to us. As the restaurant was not crowded at all, this seemed unnecessary as this was a very significant celebration for us and we had hoped for a little more privacy. The food was ‘good’ not GREAT for the prices paid. The waitress was attentive and we were rewarded with a small complementary dessert to share in honor of our special occasion which we appreciated very much.

    We love to gather in the curtained booths. They can seat 6, but we are often 2 or 3, and the restaurant is happy to alter the place settings. It is a quiet venue and good for confidential conversations. Our waiter was very accommodating to our requests. One of our party rated the crab cakes as the best he had ever had.

    This place is really back on our list. They did a great job accommodating our larger group for a dual Mother's Day and Graduation celebration. The restaurant was packed! But our service was still personal and efficient. The food was really better than I had remembered. Shall return. Maybe got a *little* warm inside but given that the restaurant was full, it's nothing to really quibble about. We had a great time. And we tipped well. Cheers to the staff!

Lorena was our server and she was very polite and was able to answer all of our questions. Food came out in a timely manner and cooked to everyone's liking. Over all very satisfied with our visit.

    The service was not good. Our waitress got my order wrong, which added to the delay in service. My friend finally got his clam chowder, very delayed, and it was cold. My good, which it finally arrived, was fine, but it took too long. Very disappointed.

    Always one of my favorite restaurants and, again, did not disappoint. We always enjoy the ambience. We enjoyed the calamari as an appetizer and the swordfish and shrimp pasta (pomodoro) dishes as entrees. All were very good, although I wished there was more of the lump crab with my swordfish!! Service was excellent; very attentive.

    We've been by a few times lately for happy hour, which is a great deal here. Tonight was a Wednesday night get-out-of-the-house dinner with the focus on the ahi tuna. We started by sharing a Caesar salad (definitely big enough to share); it is one of the best Caesar's and you can definitely taste the freshness and the anchovies! We then both got the ahi tuna dinner. The sticy rice and the seaweed salad are both outstanding and there's a good kick to the dish (in the best way possible) with both srirachi and wasabi on the plate. Our server, Julian, did an outstanding job - the perfect blend of personality, professionalism and timliness. Always a great experience!

    Pre-pandemic this was a go-to place to take clients for lunch or early dinner. It was reliable and consistent. This is no longer the case. INCONSISTENT Only one of 3 wedge salads had bacon, one had a noticeably amount of excess diced tomatoes. None of us would recommend this salad. ENTREES The Mahi dish (3.5) and steak (3) were enjoyed. The crab stuff salmon dish (2) disappointing lacking quality and flavor, the mashed potatoes abysmal (imagine whipped and mushy) and the green beans inedible. The Australian lobster dish (2) was overcooked. DRINKS The negroni was enjoyed but the M&S tea (similar to a long island) was excessively watered down. To be fair the non alcoholic drink, too was watery and void of flavor. SEATING & SERVERS Although the server was attentative it was odd that in a relatively empty room we were initially seated in the furthest backside of what appeared to be segregated style seating of the restaurant alongside 3 couples of color. The center platform, preferred seating, was void of people of color. PRICE VALUE & SUMMARY Almost every other KC Plaza restaurant, in the same price point, would have been a better choice. I would have thought McCormick & Schmicks, a once popular chain, would have stepped up their game prior to the KC hosted NFL Draft. However, the lack of consistency in meal preparation proffers justification to the empty tables and seats at this once popular KC Plaza restaurant. Why waste time and money with so many locally based steak and / or seafood options within blocks that will insure a dining experience.

    First time back in a few years and the menu has shrunk and the food was okay but nothing as good as I remember. We were sat in the corner of an empty room off the main dining area with no one else. Seemed odd and contributed to our server not checking on us often. Our server was new which is fine but he didn’t know the menu. Probably not worth a return visit.
