| Comments: | Been here twice. Ordered ala carte first time, the tasting menu second time. Service was leisurely and friendly, although both servers I had seemed intent on eliciting raves for the food from me ("Wasn't that fabulous?"). It didn't happen. Plate presentations are out of this world, probably the most striking in KC. Quality (freshness) of ingredients is a little in question, had some oysters and scallops that were funky. Alot of finesse in the preparations but it seemed everything needed salt, and I'm not a big salt guy. Flavors in some cases were very muted, if subtlety is their goal, they have achieved it, move on to bold flavors. Also most items were undersauced (in quantity), which would've helped the seasoning issue. As for dessert, the pastry chef has a thing for little cakes. I've tried three different ones and they were all tough, dry and unappealing. The other components on the dessert plates were good but didn't make up for the cakes. Recommendations- Try the foie gras (any preparation), Order ala carte (tatsting menu can be weird), Haddock with Black Trumpets excellent, Stay away from the cakey desserts.
All in all, better than the American or 40 Sardines. Owners need to do more tableside PR. |

However I enjoy the endless family sized bowls of side dishes including mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, green beans, etc. There is something wholesome about going to a restaurant, but still passing bowls around the table. |

| Comments: | I live in Colorado and recently visited New Mexico. I discovered Southwestern cuisine - quality, eclectic dishes with Southwestern spices - at least that's the way I would describe it. It's not Mexican, it's not Tex-Mex, it's New Mexican. I've been tired of the standard Mexican dishes for years - a burrito is generally just a burrito. While visiting family in KC a couple years ago, I discovered that KC had its own restaurant serving Southwestern cuisine at the Coyote Grill. I try to go there every time I'm in town because the food is delicious. There's an appetizer with roasted garlic and cheese that is incredible. I can't recommend the calamari steak, but everything else is amazing. They also serve the best margaritas I've ever had - they use lime juice and high quality tequila instead of sweet and sour mix. I've even started ordering margaritas with lime juice at other restaurants. I recommend the Heradura tequila. |

| Comments: | I first visited Fedora 10 years ago, and that had been the only time until now. My wife and I decided to try it since she had not been there before. The hostess appeared put out to seat us. The service was very slow. We waited over 15 minutes for a waiter to tell us he be back in a minute. 15 minutes later he took our drink orders. It should be noted the resturant was at best 20% occupied. Several times the waiter could not be found for long periods. My coffee was cold by time my dessert arrived. Total dinner time was an hour and a half, most of that spend waiting for service! Food was good, not great, considering the price, it was a disappointment. I guess it will be another 10 years until I forget this experience and try Fedora again. |

| Comments: | Fitz Grill, a new Lees Summit restaurant. Upon walking in we were told the wait was going to be "at least an hour and a half." The employee working the front counter made it more than obvious that she did not want us to wait around. We did, and were seated in less than thirty minutes. Ten minutes after placing our order, our waitress came back and informed me that they were out of what I had ordered. To make it easy, I ordered a Peanut Butter Hamburger-well done. Dinner came, and our appetizer never did. My burger was dripping blood from being way undercooked, and had absolutely NO peanut butter on it. I am VERY disappointed with the food, as well as the service. I will not be patronizing this establishment anytime soon, and I would caution those who demand the highest quality of customer service to look elsewhere in Lees Summit. |

| Comments: | This place is so neat that you have to see it for yourself. The ceiling of this restaurant is encircled by a train track and your order is delivered by a train that drops it on a platform that then lowers to your table. You order from your booth via a phone and the waitress brings your drinks and your meal comes by the aforementioned train. The track runs above every booth so you get to see everyone elses food be delivered too. Sounds like a corny concept but my 3 year old went wild (as were the other kids there) so it is a great place to take kids. They gave him an engineers hat and kids get to blow the whistle that signals a meal delivery is on its way. Food is basic hamburgers and fries type. Good but average. Prices not bad. Don't go for the food, go for the show! Something fun and different! They also serve breakfast. Open 6AM-9PM Monday thru Saturday. Closed Sunday. They also have a location in Crown Center I am told but we have never been there. |

| Comments: | This is the best kept secret in KC. Excellent food in a cozy, romantic atmosphere. You've probably driven by it many times and didn't know it was there. They have fresh seafood, lamb, steaks and pasta dishes. The portions are big too. Save room for dessert. |
