"Waste of Time & Space". Well, I am Sorry to say this place is a waste of a TIME & SPACE. As most all of Kansas City knows, The Bonura Family has owned & operated Restaurants since 1918 in KC. I the youngest (Luigi) owned my restaurant, which received phenomenal reviews. Over the years I have lived in 4 of the largest & most popular cities in the US, including what many call the "French Riviera" of the United States, (South Beach, Miami Beach, FL). I have opened & operated some of the "Top Rated" Lounges & Restaurants in the world, as well as worked with multiple of the "Top Chefs" in the world. To keep this as short as possible, I will give you one example; while only in South Beach, I was in charge of the 3 highest grossing, (check average greater than $100/person) & sales ranging from 8 to 12 Million per year for dinner only. I personally put together multiple wine lists, which won the Wine Spectator Award over & over again. With that said, now you have a tiny glance into my Background & Experience! Last Night was my 40th Birthday & the love of my life made reservations at The Rieger Hotel Grill & Exchange, with the understanding we would be able to go downstairs after dinner to Manifesto, which is their lounge. We were a small intimate group of friends including my 72yr old Mother. The evening started with very slow service, which I found amusing since service & attention to detail are my forte
