Best steak in Kansas City! Go for the happy hour, you won't be disappointed! I always start with the wedge!

We went here with a party of 10 and sat in the meat market area. Honestly I can't remember much about going in or the front of house staff because we had a few cocktails at Percheron before and had a thrilling bird scooter ride. Our server was pretty good. Not quite as good as I might expect considering the cost of the food. The wine list was fine - we found a couple bottles that we liked. Her explanation of the steak options was very helpful and she was knowledgeable. The steak was honestly really, really good. I was impressed. It *might* be my new favorite steak. I had grass fed filet mignon. My husband had a bone in strip steak. Both were incredibly good and so different. The Mac n cheese was delicious. Brocollini was under seasoned. We had carpaccio to start and it was delicious. The creme Brûlée was also great. Oh and the bread basket is a must do. We ended up ordering a few more for the table because it was so good. read more

Made 8:45pm reservations because that is all that was available. Greated by a very nice gentleman. Our waitress was super nice. The ambiance was wonderful. The food -- Bad ALL of our food was cold, ALL but 1 out of 5 steaks was under cooked. (Medium rare - cold and liquidy bloody - is NOT M/R) They brought out the cold appetizers with 1 of our meals? Say WHAT?! Then 15 minutes later brought out the other 4 meals. They did take the steaks back to the kitchen and cook them correctly. Would not go back If you don't want to cook that late and can't do it correctly, DON"T allow visitors to make reservations at those times. read more

This Place Could be So Much Better if They Tighten Up a Couple Things. Anton's is in a prime location, on the Streetcar track on Main street, with parking. However, when I called to inquire about the parking situation, the host wasn't very knowledgeable on where the lot sat, relative to the restaurant (i.e., north, south, east, west), or when it becomes free. The restaurant has a good-sized dining room, bar, butcher shop, and upstairs dining room for additional seating or a private party. We had a big group and ate upstairs. They also have a very large menu--almost too many items. If they narrow it down and focus on fewer things, they may be able to perfect them. We ordered several appetizers to start off. Roasted Bone Marrow ($12), that came with tabbouleh, picked red onion, truffle salt, and grilled baguettes. I never had bone marrow and I was up for an adventure--it was good, not sure it's worth it, but you should try it once. I almost think they should offer it as a free accouterment, to create a fun experience. Since there was a butcher shop downstairs, we ordered the Charcuterie Board ($20), a house selection of cured, smoked, and potted meats, pickled vegetables, and various accompaniments. It too was OK, I tried one of everything on the plate and, honestly, felt like the quality was no better than what I could get at Walmart... but I have the palette of a goat when it comes to fancier things. We also ordered the Baked and Larder ($16), which was an assortment of breads, spreads, an house pickled items. I would substitute this item off the menu with something else--perhaps a beef jerky dip--I have an amazing recipe. For the entree, I ordered the Ribeye (market price, by the ounce); their beef is butchered in house, steaks are cut to order, and dry aging is done on site in their facility. I ordered it medium and it was cooked perfectly--which is to be expected. However, cut could've been better--there were large chunks of fat that should've been trimmed better. We ordered a couple sides to share, family style: the fries and smoked gouda bacon mac-and-cheese. Both sides were great. Overall, this place could be a hit-or-miss for many folks. I wouldn't say I'll never be back, but this place is low on my list. However, if someone wanted to go, I would happily tag along and give this place a second shot. read more

For my first night in downtown Kansas City, I ordered the 1/2 lb. Dry-aged Steak Burger caramelized onions, taproom sauce and a side of their Smoked Gouda and Bacon Mac n' Cheese. Delicious! For dessert I tried their popular bread pudding. Very unique and tasty. read more

Drinks were good, food service was terrible. Waited over an hour for our food, it was a burger and two sandwiches. Food was average, not that good for downtown KC. Would not go back. read more

Fair to poor food, and rude service with bartenders who make inappropriate comments. I felt like they wanted me to leave even though I spent over $100. I've tried Anton's many times over the years because of its great location and overall look. I kept hoping it would get better but it doesn't. It's gotten worse and my last experience was awful. I had high hopes when they first opened and the food was much better, unfortunately the food isn't nearly what it once was. Not going back. read more

Possible the worst experience ive ever had at a restaurant. Took TWO hours just to order our dinner. The other two people with me had to send their steaks back as they were undercooked. Legitimately cold steak. It was also incredibly dirty. Junk just everywhere. The waitress was also incredibly unprofessional. She didnt know the menu and was cursing. Not at us but it was very strange. She also brought us random drinks she "messed up". While i get that she was trying to be nice, we did not want those drinks. What we wanted was our food that took 2.5 hours to get. Wont be back read more

Anton's has been a reliable and consistent restaurant, but we had a bad experience recently. We made reservations before the Elton John concert. They called twice to confirm, so I was confident that they were on the ball. We arrived 15 minutes early for our reservation, but were not seated till 10 minutes after. But the table was available. Our waiter, didn't come by for another 10 minutes. We told him several times that we were going to the concert at 8:00. It is now 6:40. We order and got drinks. Nothing happens till we get really anxious about 7:30. By this time, the restaurant is empty. The waiter looks funny at us when we ask how much longer. My son was looking in the kitchen and said he is sure our order was not put on till after 7:30. Kitchen staff looked confused about the order. The order finally came out at 7:50. We all started eating immediately. Several sides were not provided. My son ordered a 16 oz strip steak, grain feed and aged 28 days. Now this is a $60 steak. He was starving but couldn't eat it because it smelled so bad. I had a ribeye, it was mediocre at best at $70. Others in our party had the short ribs but didn't eat them because they were all fat. All total our party spent $700 on our meal for 8 people. So sad. We would have normally ask for a manager, but we were late to the concert as it was. No manager came by or apologized for our meal and any delay. No one gave a damn! Very bad service and horrible food. Can't recommend Anton's to anyone! read more

In town for business from LA. Came here specifically for the bone marrow. I'm In middle America, right?! When in Rome.... only 8 pm and they are SOLD OUT of bone marrow. Props to the bartender who checked with their butchery to see if there was any way to get my dish, but no go. Anton's loss. Next time I'll try another place. Update: Ordered the wedge salad (which wasn't a wedge, but chopped) and it was really good! Also ordered the carpaccio, but it was mediocre at best. Flavorless. Asked for more capers to add flavor, but still not good. read more

Look, its a steakhouse. I don't care what else they're doing it all comes down to the steaks and at Anton's they are not good. Bland not very tender meat at a high price is a recipe for terrible reviews and no repeat business. Unsuspecting tourists are about all that's left. Anton please sell to someone who cares and take your profit for a very well done real estate play. That is about the only thing that is done well at Anton's. read more

Oh man! I am giving Anton's a generous 3 stars tonight. I had such a positive experience previously that I was excited to bring my best friend here for a steak night. Unfortunately, both cuts of meat we ordered were terrible. We initially ordered a ribeye to split, which was cooked perfectly, but the quality of the meat was horrendous and I had to spit out 2 of the 3 bites I ate, it was so chewy. There were so many inedible parts we had to send it back for a filet... which was super gristly. We only ate half of it. Filet mignon is my go-to steak order, and when we pony up $40 plus for a filet, we have high expectations. I would have much rather bought 2 filets from Hen House for $20 and eaten at home than dined at Anton's tonight. We ordered chili and I guarantee you the cornbread was day-old- it was super dry and obviously stale. Our first round of drinks also didn't arrive until after our meal and our server kept reminding us that the bar hadn't even started the drinks well after our entire meal had arrived.... I feel that something is amiss at Anton's and I hope they get their act together, because I had such a great experience previously. I am rooting for them to return to their former glory... but also super regret the money we spent tonight on heinously delayed cocktails and gristly meat. read more

Maybe our group of six hit Anton's on an off night, but we had a terrible experience. Food was mediocre and the service was worse. Our server was new and apparently poorly trained. We asked him how much the special cost. He said he'd find out but he never told us. I think I was served white wine instead of the rose that I ordered, and he never refilled our water glasses. The food took a long time to come out and two in our party never received theirs. They had ordered salmon Caesar salads and after the rest of us were almost finished with our meals, they were told that the restaurant was out of salmon. Our friends agreed to substitute chicken but even that didn't come out (boxed) until it was time for us to leave for a concert. (We arrived at 6:00 with reservations and by now it was 7:20.) We called the manager over to say that we thought the two in our party should not be charged for their meals. She said she had intended to comp them, but she handed them a bill as they were leaving. They left the salads there. Her attitude was, shall I say, less than accommodating and she blamed the server for everything. We will not be returning. read more

Really enjoyed our dinner. Top notch staff. Wish I'd gotten my servers name. We got reservations online, I picked "any" and we were seated in the bar. I had the cherry limeade recommended by the server, hubby tried a beer. Bar was great, bartender was coming up with all kinds of great choices, lots of people coming and going waiting for their table, etc. Shrimp cocktail, 5 fat shrimp and it was enough for 2. Caeser salad was one of the best I've had, anchovy and all. We ordered ribeyes, grain fed. I got the rainbow carrots, hubby skipped and got a baked potato. Potato was huge! Steaks were perfectly cooked, we did add fresh ground pepper and salt. Save room for dessert! We had the chocolate pudding cake. I enjoyed people watching in the bar, next time I might pick a different area. read more

0 STARS. Serving size would have been good for a 6 year old. Brisket was cold and dry. Really great staff though. Very kind. read more

I have been so fortunate to visit this outstanding steakhouse on both my trips to Kanas City. Run do not walk to this outstanding steak and wonderful steak tartar. We had a blip in our table on my last visit, but was quickly fixed, by all the staff working together including the CHEF..( who made sure our meal was perfect). When visiting this is my place of choice due to outstanding service, Amber, and the entire staff, the incomparable beef, and ambience. RUN TO ANTONS ... Thanks to the entire staff. Deborah read more

Nice ambiance and nice wait staff. The steaks are cooked much rarer than the standard at most steakhouses but that is one of their signature aspects. However if you don't enjoy very rare steak, this may not be the best choice. Outside of the steaks their assortment of small plates were spectacular. Managers, wait staff etc super pleasant and nice read more

Not the same Anton's it was when it opened. Downstairs is now storage by the bathrooms and the cold smoker looks like storage now too. Food quality is way downhill from where it started. I was embarrassed when I took family there and the did was so dry and tasteless. read more

Must do in Kansas City. My filet was like butter, the sides were delicious and fresh. I had the mushrooms and some Brussels. My cocktail with rosemary berry Gin was on point. Party of 8, everyone was raving! read more

Horrible service, absolutely horrible Especially for what they charge for a mediocre steak Our waitress forgot about us for :45 minutes!!! We asked other waiters/ waitresses with no relief!! Once we got our order it which was two Ribeyes. They were mediocre at best for a 14 oz minimum at 3.20 per oz! aged! The hype we heard about this place ahead of time was not what we experienced! The table behind us was served New York strip steaks when they ordered Ribeyes as well. The manager came out and tried to convince them that they did not know what they were talking about and kept telling them (the customers) that they did not know steaks and that what they got was ribeyes as well... they were not! They were definitely New York Strip Steaks, they had no fat on them At all and were much thicker than any ribeye would ever be..the fact that they began and instigated the argument with the customers and tried to make them feel that they don't know a strip steak from a ribeye was angering even me who sitting next to them! You never tell, argue, of patronize your customers! These customers even had their young daughters with them. But the manager didn't care he was gonna argue with them! He was wrong. All I needed to see to tell me this place is substandard on their service, do not have their act together, our service was horrible the table next to us had horrible service as well... This place IS NOT WORTH THE PRICE! The service is AWFUL especially for what you will pay! The Steaks are mediocre at best! Overall we and the folks next to us had a horrible horrible experience and will avoid this place like the plague! And will warn others to go elsewhere instead! read more

They say this is a steakhouse. If so, I'd rate it lower. I like Anton's for the ambiance - which is old school prohibition-gangster cool - and the beer selection which is deep. The sausage of the day is always a nice appetizer and the waitstaff friendly. The steaks?... it's great that they're hand cut right there and to your specifications. It's disappointing that a medium rare was mooing when I cut into it. The ribeye was seared but mostly raw. I was with clients and the restaurant was my choice so I grinned and bore it. After the meal, the waiter asked what we thought of the steak and I mentioned it being under cooked, my clients chimed it. Waiter responded, "oh, sorry" Not sure what else could be done but if you want to be a steak place, cook the damn things correctly...it's not that hard. read more

Coffee vanilla stout, that's all I have to say! I love the variety of drinks they have here, can't say much for the food as I didn't have a steak, we had sandwiches (at a steakhouse, right? Lol) even though they were out of buns, the insides were still pretty tasty! And the bread and butter were so good! Found out some pretty cool history about the place as well as finding out about the tilapia that lives under the floor!? ask your server about them, and how the water wall works! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Anton's. We were three adults, a toddler and a baby. Dining can be difficult, but the staff was welcoming, ever so friendly and accommodating. Derrick and the gentleman at the butcher shop explained so much to us and ensured that we understood Anton's vision. If only all businessmen could be so conscious. The food was a delight and we have dined all over the world. We ordered the filet, the ribeye, green beans and macaroni on Derrick's recommendations. He was spot on! Our toddler had chicken strips and fries and enjoyed every bite. For desert we tried the creme brûlée, the apple cobbler and bread pudding. Typically we don't order dessert, but how could we drive from Detroit and not sample all the wonders of this establishment. Thank you Derrick, all the staff and of course Anton for doing just everything right in our eyes. Be back soon. read more

The idea of this place is worth 5 stars. You've got delicious food (burgers and steaks), multitudes of beer, a bier garten out back, and a primo location. On this alone, it's worth the try. I went in before the Black Keys concert, expecting it to be packed to the walls with concert goers. Luckily, it was only mildly busy but you sure as hell wouldn't know it from the staff. They were slamming dishes, telling every patron about how "unbelievably slammed they were" and rolling their eyes at everyone. The overwhelmed host was in such a panic that it wasn't even worth trying to talk to him. I've worked service before and they handled their so-called rush in the most toxic, unprofessional way. You know that sinking feeling when you're with friends or on a date and you realize the service has become the story of the night? I hate that, and that's how it went down my last time in. Regardless, I don't want to completely throw Anton's under the bus, but I can agree with all the other posters who have complained about the terrible service here.

I have eaten here three times. I have returned each time because this place really, really has the right idea...great ingredients, solid boutique wines, frosty beer and a lot of dedication in the kitchen. HOWEVER, they still don't get it. They're trying, but they don't get it. Number one complaint - get some sharp steak knives for that terrific beef you're serving! Each time I have griped to the server or the bartender that their knives are as sharp as tongue depressors. THEY DON'T WORK! THEY ARE HORRIBLY DULL! One evening, the bartender copped an attitude and offered to cut my steak for me, like I was some incompetent 7-year old boy. And she actually DID cut the steak for the older gentleman three seats down from me who had complained, and she did it in quite the arrogant, condescending fashion. Not good for business, Ms. Bartender. The man told me later that he would never come back. Secondly, PLEASE SOAK YOUR BONE MARROW IN SALT WATER BEFORE PREPARING! WHY? TO DRAW THE BLOOD OUT!! The marrow comes out looking like something from an autopsy - bloody, dripping, oozing and highly unappetizing. Again, this was the case all three times I dined there, and all three times I recommended (complained) to the server that this step is a must! I guess they still haven't listened, so I probably won't order it again. Lesson learned. Overall, this place is really trying. They truly have the right idea. The quality of the food is tip-top, but the polish, the refinement is missing. I keep going back, fingers crossed, because the potential is there. I hope they someday finally figure it all out. read more

Somebody recently gave me a fair amount of grief. You see, they went to Anton's somewhat based on my recommendation and clearly did not have a 4-star experience. "How can you possibly give that place 4 stars?" They asked. And I had to admit, I didn't have a good reason. I wrote my original review quite impressed with the concept and aesthetics of the space, both of which I still quite love. However, execution fails and it fails pretty hard. With a heavy heart, it's time to update. Anton's is a few things, and kinda fails at them all. It's a beer bar. It's a beer bar that is so wildly overpriced that the only thing I ever really order is PBR. Now, I am no stranger to beer prices, seeing as I managed a beer bar myself for many years, and frankly I feel like this place is robbing you. Plus the fact that unless you order your yard-beers at the decidedly more casual (and friendly!) outdoor bar, you get a side of eye-roll, on the house. Anton's is a restaurant. The food I've been served is very hit or miss, and unfortunately right now the ratio is fairly disappointing. I know they're on their 3rd or so chef, so maybe things will get figured out. However, I've ordered a couple of things that were really creative and excited me at first, until I bit into them and discovered that creative and good tasting aren't always the same. Plus, once again the prices seem incredibly inflated. The bigger crime, however, is the service. At Anton's I have had some of the most flat-out rude and hostile service that I've experienced in all of KC. I am pretty easy-going, but here I have had to flat out tell servers that they need to stop being so rude to us. This isn't an isolated incident, either, if many of my friends are to be believed. There are some people that just shouldn't work in hospitality, and Anton's seems to have hired many of them. Let me say this: Anton's is still a beautiful spot. I love their back patio in particular and it's a perfect spot to spend a summer afternoon. Some of the staff are friendly and are obviously doing their best to keep this place's reputation afloat. I'll still come back (unless this review gets me grumpy faces), but it's a real bummer that this place just doesn't live up to its considerable potential. read more

This is my kind of restaurant! Instead of covering factory foods with chemicals to hide the inferior quality of the ingredients, Anton's uses the freshest natural ingredients, some produced in the basement hydroponic gardens. They even raise their own tilapia fish in the basement, although they haven't yet reached the point at which serving their own tilapia would be sustainable. The quality of the ingredients used in this restaurant is simply wonderful. Despite the Crossroads location of this restaurant, parking is easy here. The restaurant is on the west side of Main St. just north of the intersection of Main with 16th St. Immediately north of the restaurant is a public parking lot, also on the west side of the street. The wine list is good including many reasonably priced choices. They are into the new trend of serving wine in glasses without stems. If you order a white wine and want glasses properly containing stems, make that known in advance. They don't have many normal wine glasses, but they have a few. The gazpacho soup was good, but not outstanding. The corvina sea bass was remarkably fresh, comparable to what I'd expect at a seaport restaurant. All of the salads and vegetables are excellent, and the strudel dessert was excellent. The server was Shaun. I will ask for him in the future, but his intent is to work at the restaurant only twice a week, since he is planning to teach in a charter school. Anton's does not accept reservations for groups of less than 6 persons. We arrived at 4 pm and left at 6 pm on a Friday evening. If you want your choice of tables and the best possible service on a weekend evening, it might be best to arrive before 6 pm I"ve noticed the negative reviews of Anton's on Yelp, often about the service. I'd guess that those yelpers had arrived when the restaurant was crowded. When we were there in the early evening, the service was perfect. I had only one complaint. I could not figure out how to give Anton's the sixth star that it merits. This is not an inexpensive restaurant, but worth every penny of the cost. Dinner at Anton's was one of my most enjoyable dining experience in a long time. I will be back --- for sure. read more

I've been here enough to give them multiple chances. Every time something service or establishment wise just sucks. Most recently the service was fine but I felt like I got ripped after ordering their randalling service on a beer. Basically randalling is a fancy new thing where you put beer in a french press and use the french press to hold some sort of hop, herb, fruit or anything under the surface of the beer for a few minutes. The beer absorbs some of the flavor and gives you a customized flavor. It really works and its pretty cool. Anton's menu listed it at 4 dollars which I believed to be the total cost, which how could I believe that in Anton's since everything is high priced? Turns out it is 4 dollars in addition to the beer you pick out. So my boulevard pale ale and some oranges in french press ran me 8 bucks. And I don't think I got quite a full pint of beer. The randalling thing is cool but how I think of it is a Blue Moon is usually 5 bucks average and usually comes with a slice of Orange standard. Add in a french press and you basically have the same thing, and I know it doesn't cost must to wash a french press and walk it to the table so this should be maybe a 1 dollar up charge. This mixed with pleasurable previous visits has pretty much sealed the deal for me, making Anton's a no go for me in the future. Their concept is so awesome though, I think Anton's is like a girlfriend that you really like but wont change her nightly cocaine habit. She'll cook you a nice steak and then eat it in front of you. She'll read your Yelp reviews and not even inform you that you've mispelled 90% if the werds. read more

The most underwhelming $200 dinner I've ever had. We had a reservation, showed up slightly early and got seated right away. Made our way upstairs and started dinner with a martini and my boyfriend had a beer. The beer list was very out of date and my dirty martini tasted like straight vodka with icecubes floating in it... I had to get more olive juice because I wasn't feeling like taking shots with my steak. Ordered the French onion soup and a Caesar salad to start. After having about 3 minutes pass, the runner showed up with our steaks, loaded baked potato, bone marrow butter and house steak sauce. The steaks, although poorly timed, were cooked to the correct temperatures. I found my grass fed filet to be very chewy and under seasoned. The boyfriend had a 28 day aged, grain fed ribeye. He was highly unimpressed with his as well. The loaded baked potato was not "absolutely huge, definitely enough for two to split" and had a major lack of toppings. The bone marrow butter was fine, but just that. The steak sauce was not my favorite and had large hints of citrus. I'm sure others like it but it didn't seem to go with the steak... We absolutely love steak. We love other steak places around KC as well as buying fresh and cooking at home. For a date night pick, we were at dinner for less than an hour when we signed the bill. We ended up paying a corkage fee for a wine we brought in and drank a small glass each. We had the server cork it back up and we took it home to eat dessert without the rush. I really wanted to like Anton's but I find it to be high priced without the experience and the food lacked the spark needed to be that pricey. I'm not sure I'll be spending the money to ever come back. read more

I debated a long time about whether or not to write this review because I did not necessarily enjoy my dining experience, but I understand that they have only been open a few days so of course things aren't going to be perfect. I decided to go ahead and mention all the details because it can only be part of a learning experience, right? My group of 7 spent over 2 1/2 hour inside of Anton's, not because we are overly chatty or slow eaters, but because the service process literally took that long. Granted we did come on a First Fridays night (and like I mentioned, they are incredibly new), but I got really claustrophobic towards the end from being in such loud, packed quarters for so long. We started the night by ordering beers. They took forever to arrive at the table, and when they finally showed up, they forgot my beer! So I waited even longer for her to track down my drink. We didn't get waters, so once again, we did the whole waiting for her to show back up and waiting for the waters to come out. Needless to say, my beer was AMAZING. It was a raspberry beer that tasted like cranberry juice, extremely girly and extremely delicious. The menu was broken down into colors. The red items we could order that night and the grey items would be available at a later date. Naturally, all the grey items sounded amazing while I struggled to find something appealing on the red list. I finally settled on the pork burger with a side of fries instead of cole slaw. We waited well over an hour for our meals to come out and we they did, it was the wrong food. Then after 6 of us got out food, 1 of us was missing a dish and had to wait at least another 10 minutes for it. Now the burger: that was a good burger! With a heaping pile of pork, and ham, and bacon, it was a a meaty and delicious sandwich! But that's where the excitement ended because they completely screwed up my fries. All of my fries were crunchy. Every single one. They were also small, like they gave me bottom of the barrel - end of the fry - pieces. They were horrible. Anton's has the look and decor of a classy, upscale restaurant but the music they were playing made me feel like I was in a cheap night club. I think they could benefit from some smoothing, quiet jazz music. It was hard to talk to my friends over the music selection of the night. With all that said, I really enjoyed trying out a new restaurant in the city with my friends. My beer and my sandwich were the high points of the night. Hopefully everything else will fix itself over time and Anton's can become a new staple in the Kansas CIty dining scene. read more

So Disappointed. Finally made it to Anton's for the first time. Was really excited to see a great beer menu & tasty looking food options as well. The menu sounded great and I liked reading about Anton's hydroponic system, commitment to local and organic cuisine, and tilapia that they raise on site. Ordered a beer and it arrived not-quite-cold. I figured this was because I picked a Blvd Limited Release - they would have just gotten their keg in that day, maybe recently hooked it up. As we ordered more beers of different varieties we found them to all be served warmer than preferable. Imagine ordering a beer and leaving it sit for 15-20 minutes before drinking. That's the temperature at which these beers were served. We ordered the fried pickles. They were tasty and had a nice tempura breading and a yummy chive dipping sauce. They were very greasy, though. Two of us ordered the fish tacos. When they arrived we were told that we were lucky since they ran out of tilapia and we got the last two. We both looked at the scant amount of filling in the tacos and wondered if they split one order into two to serve us both. I ended up scraping the filling in just two of the three taco shells to make full tacos. The flavor was good, but was missing the main ingredient. Tilapia. We actually picked through our tacos trying to find the fish. I'd be surprised if I had 2 bites of fish all 3 tacos combined. Actually, I'd be surprised if we had two bites in both of our plates combined. What looked like fish at first glance was actually chunks of queso fresco covered in sauce - mimicking fish. Our tacos were served with a side of white beans. Different, but they looked really tasty when our plates came out. You could see bits of veggies used to season the beans and the broth there were in was thick and colored orange by the seasonings used. Except that there weren't any seasonings. Every bite of beans tasted like water. Bean-flavored water. Were they running out of the side too so they added water to it? Surely they aren't always served so tasteless. My friend looked for salt to add to the beans to no avail. We really wanted to like them and maybe with some added salt they would have been edible. We'll never know. Our waitress was M.I.A. most of the time - perhaps a hazard of dining outside. Our other friend ordered the short rib mac & cheese, which sounded divine. We tasted it and agreed it was much better than what we ordered. On a second taste, though, we decided we were probably just hungry and for a dish with short rib, smoked gouda, bacon and macaroni it was actually surprisingly bland as well. Better than the other things we ordered, but probably not worth ordering again. We all agreed that even though the beer menu is impressive, the place has a nice atmosphere and the food menu sounds delicious, we would not return anytime soon. Everything that was "wrong" could have been fixed pretty easily, but it's not worth it to us to give it another shot. I can go a couple blocks down to the Rieger or over to the Brick for great food and cold beer. Why chance it again when Anton's fell short of expectations in every way. Don't be disappointed by warm beer. Skip Anton's Tap Room. read more

This place was recommended by a family member so we came to try it out. We decided to sit outside and the weather was great. We waited a considerable about of time before we were offered drinks. We finally ordered drinks and our waiter returned and said he forgot my husbands order. We received our appetizer but had no plates or napkins. They were eventually brought to us. We ordered our steaks and waited. We all 3 got grain fed filets medium rare. We got our steaks and I don't believe our two 6oz filets were medium rare but the 10oz was. My husband never received the Brussels sprouts he ordered. Our steaks were nice and tender though. The Mac & cheese seemed to be lacking flavor. We are and watched a rat bounce around the outdoor area eating left overs from another table. Some people moved inside or away from the rat. We finished our food and waited. The waiter finally showed up and we asked for our ticket. And then we waited. We received our check which did not include Brussel sprouts so I guess that's why we didn't get them. We could have had the worst waiter in the world coupled with a rat eating off tables. I felt like the steak could have been amazing but wasn't and the service was awful. read more

Anton's - This is ratatouille, the entertainment of the night. - Steakhouses Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Looking at the menu and based on the recommendation of friends, we went in with high hopes. We were sadly disappointed. The service was INCREDIBLY slow despite several empty tables. My husband ordered a salad and side of latkes. The latkes were not done properly. I understand taking creative liberty, however, if you chose to do so, it should be noted on the menu. I ordered the short ribs with smoked gouda & bacon mac & cheese, and seasonal vegetables. The vegetables were sad, the mac & cheese had ZERO flavor, tasted like plain pasta and they didn't even salt the water they boiled it in & topped with cheap bacon bits (not real bacon despite the meat counter downstairs) and the short ribs...worst I've ever had. I understand that there is always the risk of getting a bit of fat with short ribs, however, 90% fat is unacceptable. If you claim to be a steakhouse then a plate like this should never have left the kitchen. While the server did apologize & offer to bring me something else on the house, I had to ask to have the inedible meal comped, which they did. Disappointed does not begin to describe our experience and we will definitely not be back. read more

Was super excited to eat here. It was our 2nd Anniversary and we chose this place. Man are we sorry. We ordered rib eyes that were grain fed and aged over 28 days and was sadly disappointed. My boyfriend ordered his rare and me medium rare. Both steaks came out rare and very tough and no juice in the steak at all. They were also not seasoned at all. When we told the waitress how unhappy we were with our steak she said she would convey this but came back to our table with the bill. No word from the manager or anything offered. We were not looking for a free meal just acknowledgement from a manager for our sad experience. We paid almost $50 for each steak and to be honest Texas Roadhouse has a much better steak for over half the price. read more

Came in to a half empty restaurant. Ambiance and food smell great. Would have been nice to actually eat the food. Came in and sat in front of the serving counter and the meat display. 10 to 15 minutes later, still no service. read more

Slow service. Server never asked is what to drink we just got water. Wedge salad made with just a chunk of Romain. Carpaccio was bland and not very good. Son had brisket sandwich and was good. Fries where undercooked. Won't go back with the prices they have. Service should match prices. Stop letting servers wear headphones while working. read more

Ratings scale 1-5 with 5 being the best; Greeting = 5 Caesar salad = 1 (horrible) Fillet mignon = 5 (amazing) Bar drinks = 4 Desert = 4 Service = 2 (he forgot things, never offered more drinks when we were dry) Restrooms = 1 (down stairs where it smells like mold) read more

The service was great. But that's where the compliments stop. I ordered the short ribs with a couple sides and it all came swimming in at least 1 inch of beef fat (kudos to them for taking it off our bill). My two friends each ordered a steak, one ribeye and one NY strip. For steaks that cost around $50 alone (no sides) I expected a well cooked steak. They were far from that. First, whoever butchered the NY strip cut it way too thick (not sure if that's done in house or not). Either way, being too thick and cooking it on too high of heat resulted in an extreme amount of char all around the steak and, on the inside, the first 1/8" cooked well done while the middle was blue rare. My friend ordered medium rare. The ribeye had the same sad story. I hope this was a fluke but I know I won't be returning for a long time. read more

This is my favorite steak place in town, and frankly, in the country. It is not cheap, but the meat is to die for, and is cooked to perfection. Last night the steak options were slim; I prefer a grain-fed, dry-aged ribeye and those were not included on their reduced COVID menu, but even the dry-aged KC Strip was better than any ribeye I've had elsewhere. The ground floor has a really casual vibe. For the type of money you shell out here (expect to pay north of $300 for a party of three if you're going to do it right), I prefer to go upstairs, which is fancier. They have a butcher shop and you can typically take some steaks home, although the pickings were slim there too (because of COVID, I'm told). Still, a fantastic experience. read more

The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food on the other hand was lacking in flavor. The Steak I ordered had zero caramelization and completely lacked flavor. Not worth the price point, I make a better steak at home. Please at least learn what salt and Pepper are and utilize them in your cooking. The cocktail that was ordered was amazing and came out quickly, flavorful and light. I hope this was a one off experience, sadly they have lost ant future business of mine. read more
