   Great restaurant— its in the ambassador hotels which I don’t know if that’s clear from OpenTable. Took me a little minute to figure that out since I am new to Kansas City. I also don’t really know if having a reservation is always necessary— we went there on a Saturday morning at 11am for brunch and it was mostly empty with no one manning the hostess stand. They eventually just waived us over to sit wherever we like. I really liked the food and the ambiance. I definitely want to try for dinner. Menu is also very reasonably priced.

   The noise level was awful. The service was average. Server should have checked back more often. The food was okay but not so good that we feel compelled to return.

   Our waiter was great!!! Food was just ok, especially for price paid. One main concern is that they have a small menu but was out of salmon, one of the desserts and lemonade.

   Small menu, food was great! Service was very accommodating! Beautiful dining room. Truffle fries were the most delicious thing and very unique flavor! Music would have been a wonderful boost for the ambience!

    We waited for 1.5 hours and did not even receive our food and ended up leaving. They were kind enough to not charge us for our drinks and app but the filet and salmon are why we went there.

    Food was severely lacking (I tried three items, and wasn’t a fan of want of them). The drinks were great however, but everything else fell short.

    The server, Claire, was wonderful and the highlight of the evening. The cornbread was gross and the drinks were sub par to say the least. I had the French dip that had no taste but the fries exhibited all the flavor. My husband had the American burger which was missing flavor. To say the least, McDonald’s double cheeseburger tasted better than this place on the best day. Now, the fries were on point and the cornbread needed some serious help. Please be cautious of these three items. Normally, I am excited of trying to new places but this place needs new menu items and chefs. I am certain that my 16 yr old nephew could cook better.

    My husband and I came to The American Reserve to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, we left so disappointed. The salmon on my plate was super fishy, looked like it had been sitting out, and the cauliflower purée under it was literally gray (not yellow). There was a LIVE bug crawling in my brussel sprouts which was when I finally flagged the waiter down. He took the plate and took it off of the bill but replaced it with fries. My husband always finishes his meals, and he did not finish his plate either. His succotash seemed to be frozen vegetables heated and mixed with cheese. We were extremely let down with what was offered at what is considered to be more of an up-scale restaurant.

    Ron is amazing and if you can hear him live you are in luck. The food is never that good and has only continued down hill. The drinks are okay but pricey. I never mind price if quality is there.

    The drinks and appetizer was excellent. Service was fine. Filet was ordered medium rare and it came as about as rare as you could get, side of potatoes was extremely unremarkable. The fries that came with burgers were cold and over seasoned. The quality of food did not match the price point.

    A lovely restaurant in an open space hotel lobby. The menu differed from what we found on line. The food was very average, but not priced that way. All but a very few wines were less than $50/bottle. The same food could be had for a lot less.

    Food is truly amazing. Service for the money I spent ($350 for two people) was stupid and upsetting. Spoke to a manager and he said that they only had 3 servers and would buy our drinks for the inconvenience…. Didn’t happen. Place is gorgeous, perfect for a date night or anniversary. Service was sooooooo bad.

    Fantastic service, nice atmosphere, enjoyed the live entertainment. Cocktails were decent and food was delicious. Didn’t realize they had already added gratuity, would’ve appreciated that being pointed out, so we overpaid a bit but the experience was still positive. I can see us going back; however, not super often as it is a little pricey.

    Food was not bad, service was quite good. Cool place with a really good live band playing. Was hoping for more from the food though, just kind of lacking. But the pricing was good, atmosphere was neat and the Drinks from the bar were exceptional. Was hoping to be “wowed” more by the food.
