I read the reviews posted on this site and feel in agreement with the 1st several reviews. The food is over priced, the service was average or less and the owner ( Jack) is indeed rude and not customer oriented. My husband and I have been going to this restaurant for special occasions almost since it opened and have enjoyed the steaks and services over the years. Then a couple of months ago I choose this site for my group of 6 ladies that meet once a month for a fun place to dine and get together. I was embarrassed that I choose this site for the group. We had reservations and had expected a nice table. Instead we were "stuck" upstairs in an area that barely got service and the food was well below par. No one in my group enjoyed their meal and grew weary of waiting for any kind of service. I wrote an email to the owner and posted on another food site about my disappointment. I simple was asking if they were having an off nite and felt they had declined from the past years. The owner responded to me with a sharp scolding for my comments and said that everyone else loved his restaurant and I was the 1st person to complain. He basically said he didn't believe me and didn't appreciate my posting of poor service. His tone was not businesslike at all. He whined on and on about how hard he and his wife work, etc. It was helpful to see the other postings detailing the same experience as mine. I clearly will not go back to this place. There are just too many other good choices that are more convenient. I think you need to be in the owner's "in crowd" to get good service there.
Pros: Nice waterfront location
Cons: Service, food and owner

My wife and I were really excited to be spending our anniversary on the dock enjoying the view of the water at Lake Lotawana. We had made our reservation two weeks in advanced and were assured that we would have a table overlooking the beautiful lake. Upon our visit we were seated inside the restaurant instead of outside on the dock. After several attempts of convincing our rude hostess that our reservation we settled for a seat inside. After contemplating whether or not to leave at this point we opted to stay since it can be very difficult finding a restaurant on a Friday evening. To make a long story short, the food was terrible and overpriced. I would strongly recommed not visiting this restaurant. The restaurant is dark, and the demographic(s) of the typical customer is over sixty years old, white, and they probably reside within a close proximity of Eastern Jackson County. For the price of our meal, I will be sure to visit the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City.
Pros: On the lake with a great view of Lake Lotawana
Cons: Poor service and overpriced food
