   Our first visit to J J’s as we live in St. Louis. Attractive interior, welcoming atmosphere, terrific food, 5-star service from Dana, helpful staff, noteworthy menu and wine list. Our best ever dining experience in Kansas City!

   Was celebrating my birthday with my wife. Ordered the small filet rare and expensive wine. What I got was not a filet and was medium well. They did bring me another steak, it was good but took over 10 minutes to get. Basically my wife and I ate separately! Not a good experience and no compensation was offered even though our server thought there would be. Very disappointing.

   Tom, you got a filet both times, and a new steak does take a minute to cook. I can tell you for sure that the first one wasn't good. It came out about medium and was definitely not up to our standards. That happens sometimes. Science has yet to make a cow that produces a perfect, uniform steak every time. Your new steak arrived quickly. Your wife was still eating when I stopped to check on you a couple minutes after your new steak arrived. I stopped by your table to check in three times, and not once did you mention being unsatisfied. If you had simply mentioned then and there that you weren't happy, I'd have helped.

   Food was very good. Service wasn’t great and it was extremely loud in the main dining area.

   The food was great. Best bread I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The only issue was our waiter Rick was not very attentive. It seemed like we were always waiting on him longer than a normal time. Also our steaks were undercooked and he took them back and it was 20 minutes before they were brought back to us so my loaded baked potatoes were cold. My husband ordered no asparagus and his came back with asparagus and he picked it up with his fork and told Rick that he did not want asparagus and Rick snatched the asparagus from his plate and threw it in the bread basket and walked off. It was pretty aggressive and we were put off by the service that night.

   My husband wanted somewhere new, usually we stay north of the river, but I grew up south so JJs is familiar to me. It didn’t disappoint. First, our server was amazing. He was top notch. He said he hadn’t been there long and to please excuse him as he was still new, you couldn’t tell 10/10 on his service. The crab cakes were phenomenal. We both had surf and turf. The steaks were tender and cooked perfectly. The lobster was seasoned and tender. Overall, we will be back in the future.

   Tenderloin burger was one of the best we’ve ever had. Value was fantastic. Drinks were fabulous and our waiter was top notch. We’ll definitely be back often!!

    All the service staff from the minute we arrived were outstanding. It was very busy and very noisy. The food was good, and it was a thorough wine list. It was rather expensive.
