Not worth it, excpet the jazz

   tkristianm - 06/10/2007

My husband and I dined here twice in the last 9 months, downstairs because we wanted to hear the jazz (Allen Munroe trio was playing). The steaks are good, the food is okay, however, the service was splotchy, at best. Our first time was okay, however, the second time in November, our waiter introduced himself and welcomed us to the Plaza Two (maybe he was a little nervous)....drinks at the bar are good, however, I would only come here to have drinks at the bar only if the Allen Munro trio was playing, and then head over to the Capitol Grille in the Plaza. My husband and I dined there last week and immediately upon walking in the door, it was heads and tails above the Plaza. Go to the Capitol Grille and ask for George Vial to be your waiter. He let my husband and I transition to the bar/lounge after our delightful meal, and said he would find us there to bring us our bill, instead of wait at the table. Not only did he find us in their busy lounge, he got us a drink from the bar (since the bartenders were a litte busy that night), lit up my husband's cigar, and continued to assist us as needed.

Bottom line -- go to the Capitol Grille -- my husband and I are kicking ourselves for not discovering it sooner!

Phenomenal

wonderful experience all together. The service was impeccable. The food...what can I say. The filet melted in my mouth. I didn't think it was possible to have such tender and succulant beef!!! We would recommend to anyone wanting to experience fine dining at its best in Kansas City.

Its a disgrace

If this is what Kansas City has to offer in Fine Dining Steakhouses, then I will continue to cook at home. Their service leaves much to be desired. They are unprofessional in all aspects of proper service from beginning to end. Their wine list , although having won the Excellence in wine award from the prestigious Wine Spectator magazine, Anyone who reads that magazine faithfully can pull off that. What is a Wine steward by the way? Someone who stocks the wine? Im sorry If I am paying that much for a steak I expect a Sommlier at the very least to pour my wine. You would think they would have more pride.

Not as good as it should be.

Anyway, I went back 3 times...just thought that maybe we was in the bad luck and didn't get a good server/service. However, it's getting worse. I recommend "The Majestic" instead for the best steak....but don't expect the interior will be as nice as anything on the plaza.

Simply the best

While I don't think they served the best steak I've ever had, it was pretty close. We've gone to the locations in KC and in Leawood. Both are good; no complaints with service or the meal. The steak was prepared exactly as I ordered it and everything was timely.

The BEST Steakhouse! 12/29/06

My husband and I been going to Plaza III for over 30 years. Plaza III is the ONLY place I will eat steak. The Lobster Bisque, Caeser Salad, and Creamed Spinach is just a few of our favorites. The KC Steak Soup is the best, compared to other steak soups, I have tired. We can always count on Dwayne to suggest the perfect wine for the evening. Thank you Plaza III for continuing your high standards of Excellence!!!

Blows Hereford Away.....

Skip all the rest and go to the best......Prime beef, great wine, old time atmosphere....It's KC. The only place still serving some Prime Beef.....all others serve choice. I can get that at Hy-Vee.

I'd rather go to McDonalds

I took my wife to Plaza III for her birthday. The service was terrible and the steaks were awful. Way overrated and we will not be going back

Great place for steaks

I took the whole family to the Plaza III. The service was great. We had a table for 10, the waiter explained all menu options to our satisfaction, and we ordered sides that we were able to pass around the table so all could sample.

The steaks were great! Everyone went home very pleased with the meal and the service.
