Should give up their prime location to a more deserving resteraunt

by juice2004

Our first clue should have been that on a beautiful Saturday night on the Country Club Plaza, we were able to get a table at 7:30 with under a 5 minute wait. The main room was about 80% full with half of the guests under 18 and there for Homecomming.

Clue two should have been that in living in KC for 3 years we have not once heard ANYONEmention this resteraunt. We still thought that maybe we had found a "hidden gem". WRONG!

We has "sauteed" artichoke hearts for an appitizer. They were actually frozen artichoke hearts warmed up with butter and a little garlic. They had absolutely no taste.

My wife got the "tour of Italy" for dinner as she couldn't decide between something with red sause and something with white. This had both. The lasagna was cold and unedible, the fettecini was bland, and the chicken marsala was decent but all very generic. All premade, frozen, and heated up by their "chefs".

I also got a combo plate in order to try a little bit of multiple items. The shrimp was OK but nothing special. The cheese ravioli was good, but again, straight out of a package. The fettacini with red sause was bland and actually had a bad aftertaste. It was not edible.

All in all, this place was a huge disapointment. I'm not sure how they are still open. The food is premade and all out of a jar, can, box, or package. (I think I've even bought the breadsticks at Costco before). Not only was the food generic it just flat out was not good. I can't comment on the salads as ours neve made it to our table; Not sure if the waiter forgot or if Price Chopper had just ran out of ceaser salad that evening.

• Pros: OK view of the Plaza
• Cons: Food
