    We have been several times and each time the food is amazing and so is the service. This time our server acted like really didn’t want to be there. Not as attentive to table as maybe should be and was rude by the end of the evening! Not our usual experience there but it was unfortunate as we were celebrating our daughter’s birthday.

    The food was impeccable. We had the pasta special and it was fantastic. I had the lamb chops and this is a must order menu item. They were phenomenally tender, smoky and juicy. Everything was right about this plate. The tiramisu was divine. This trip - the service wasn’t as spectacular as it normally is. It was okay, had to ask for drinks and wait on the past to come back around a bit. Not bad by any means but we are so used to superior service, it was not to that level. This is becoming quickly one of our favorite places to eat in KC. Great atmosphere.
