I visited the other day to sample the lunch buffet, which was delicious and had a number of offerings. But the service was abysmal.

The restaurant itself is STUNNING! The service was good; however, I prefer a bit more personality. The food, it looked beautiful, but if I'm going to pay $30 for a piece of fish I want it to take up the whole plate! Many of the items on the menu, I had never heard of and the servers didn't really know what they were either. Overall, I think it was fine. Be prepared to spend money!

They have a bubble tea sign displayed in their window, so we stopped in once to try their version. It was really the worst bubble tea we have ever had. If you want really excellent bubble tea go around the corner to Tea Drops in Westport. As for the sushi, it was good but more expensive than other places. Try Friends or Domo instead!

The prices can be startling at first. No one expects to pay what they ask for chicken and waffles. However, then the server warns you "everything here is huge, It can easily be split by two people, if you want an "average dinner" sized portion, I would order an appetizer. Well, people often say that, so being the skeptics that we are, Jeff and I order full blown dinners. He orders a "famous 1 lb burger" stuffed with bacon and cheese and something else. I had the chicken and waffles. The food showed up and both of us stared, bewildered, at what was easily enough food to satisfy the army of a small country. Chicken adn waffles were outstanding! The waffles were stuffed with BACON... BACON! Having just moved back from the south, this was a welcome suprise. The food is homestyle, almost southern. Jeff and I commented that just like everything out at the legends, this place is completely over the top. The only complaint I have is the bizarre decor. It appears as though some overzealous designer tried to create a modern contempo barn house... and failed... miserably.

Some of the things on the Menu here were AMAZING (you must try the fried calamari with what might be the sweetest marinara sauce I've ever had, the mozzarella wrapped in procuitto was excellent, I could've made a meal of it). Other things were not so great. The scallop appetizer, while cooked properly, sat on an overseasoned risotto with a side of VERY bitter greens. The Tagiattlle which I paid nearly $15 for, was at best a glorified fettuccini alfredo. A diner sitting with us had a steak called the "dirty steak", its not on the menu, but if you have $30 to spend on a KC Strip (I for one would NEVER spend that kind of money on that cut of meat), I've been told its quite good.

If you like garlic, I mean a LOT of garlic, and very sweet red sauces with garlic (and did I mention a LOT of garlic) and slightly over-cooked pasta in large quantities heavy on the sweet and GARLIC, this is your kind of Italian.
Where I grew up this was called Immigrant Italian and the style is really a lot more Sicilian than Italian but if you like pasta with red sauce that is very sweet and is coated in Garlic, you will like this place.
Dracula will stay away so you will be safe from vampires. And if any family members do not dine with you I really suggest you send them away for 24 hours or risk having them collapse from your GARLIC breath.
I bet this restaurant uses more garlic per serving than any other restaurant in the city, or even the state.
Did they buy garlic cheap or just confuse cloves with heads in the recipe?
But teh sauce is sweet you can skip desert.
And the signature Chicken Spedini is dry and has a lot of garlic too.

I am always up to try new Indian restaurants, but many times end up being disappointed. I was a bit disappointed with Kababesh. You are not able to get their buffet to go. The price is overall more expensive than all of the other Indian restaurants that I have tried in Kansas City, while the flavor of the food was very average.
In my book, Korma Sutra in Westport has the best food, the price is reasonable and you can get the buffet to go!

I have been to Cassis four times over the past year and it has slid downward each time. When they launched their 'summer menu' that was it. They used to have a bone-in chicken that was awesome that got swapped to a piece of chicken swimming in broth...yuck. It seems this happens to most of Patrick Q's restaurants..good to start...decline..close. Rememeber Hanna Bistro?

Last evening my wife, our daughter, and I dinned at Jaspers. Overall we were satisfied with our experience and may return at some future date. Several things spoiled what otherwise would have been a great experience. First, our waiter was overly attentive, returning several times to the table to inquire, “How is everything”. While some may appreciate this type of attention, after the third time it became annoying. Second, while décor/atmosphere was very nice and appropriate, the restaurant acoustics left a great deal to be desired. Because of reverberations, it was difficult, if not impossible, for the three of use to converse without raising our voices. After a while the noise level became tiring. The restaurant definitely needs to invest in some sort of sound deadening in the main dining room. Finally, we were disappointed with the sauce served with two of our pasta dishes. The sauce is question was a thin, sweet tomato sauce that was very reminiscent of Campbell’s cream of tomato soup – but with more garlic. We were definitely not impressed by Jasper’s tomato sauce. While the tomato sauce lacked character, the Bruschetta Alla Gaspare antipasto was excellent as were the dessert selections. One final note, the prices shown on Jasper’s online menu (http://www.jasperskc.com/menu.htm) appear to be out-of-date.

Went in for a beer. My compatriot decided to get an appetizer - ather disappointing steak quesadillas. The atmosphere and service were nice enough, but if that appetizer is representative of the rest of the menu, I would not eat there.

Re: “Rosedale Barbeque”
Dont like the sauce. The ribs are good, so is the beef sandwiches. Alot of fries for your money. I grew up eating at this joint, being its my moms favorite. As I got older, I graduated to Bryants, Joes, and the Best kept secret in Wyandotte County , The Woodyard.
