This restaurant is in the hotel. The service was good and food was good. Plenty of options to eat and drink. There is street parking but seems like it might be limited due to other businesses downtown. A cool area and not a bad restaurant to try if you are staying in the hotel or just visiting read more

The Weather Room - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

This cozy and vibrant hotel restaurant offers a great mix of American grill classics with plenty of seafood appetizers, soups, and salads. I started with the French onion soup; it was tasty and flavorful, though it felt like it was missing a little something I couldn't quite put my finger on. For my entree, I ordered the steak tips, which were delicious and cooked perfectly. They came smothered in a nice beef gravy with sauteed mushrooms, onions, and creamy herb butter mashed potatoes. The portion was large and satisfying, perfect if you're hungry. I also ordered a side of Brussels sprouts, which were flash fried with bacon and came in a generous serving as well. Whether you're staying at this boutique hotel or live nearby, I definitely recommend stopping in for a comforting, flavorful meal. read more

Charming space, delightful bar service, delicious dinner, simple and satisfying breakfast buffet - so far beyond what I expected in a hotel restaurant! Clearly there is a chef here who is intent on quality and consistency in the food. The bartenders are expertly trained, and the morning I had breakfast the space was staffed by a retired teacher who clearly loves her job. Menus are available online if you are curious about current offerings. On a Monday night they were busy, so reservations are probably wise. read more

It's situated inside the Cyrus hotel. The staff is always so nice and efficient, had breakfast and dinner here a lot during my stay and never had an issue with staff. During my stay, I have had the burger (perfectly booked), chicken Cajun pasta (really delicious, not spicy but it's huge!), and the steak tips (tender and good). Breakfast buffet is always a good choice too. read more

It is a beautiful space. Very open, we arrived early so we were able to enjoy the quiet of the restaurant. The butter board was worth the visit to this restaurant. I had the candied pork chop, it was good, a little overcooked, and I would have preferred it without the Parmesan as the roasting on the top gave it a bitter after taste. Everyone enjoyed their burgers and fries. I would definitely go again for the butter board and cocktails. Service was acceptable. read more

CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA Grilled chicken, smoked sausage, bell peppers, onions, garlic, penne pasta - OR - maybe not so much? Expected what is described. Received a penne pasta in a tomato vodka sauce with grilled chicken covered with cheese and sausages -no bell peppers or onions. ‍ read more

Had dinner at The Weather Room in Topeka recently, and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a first date. The atmosphere strikes a great balance -- super swanky decor without feeling overly formal or intimidating. The food was outstanding. I ordered the filet, cooked absolutely perfectly, and my friend had the salmon and said it was just right. Service was attentive and welcoming without being overbearing, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and special. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to again soon. read more

The lunch menu is very, very limited to say the least. I didn't choose the place, but wouldn't go there for lunch only due to the small menu offerings....However, the steak salad was really good, and the meet was super tender. Our server was nice, but I think he was the only server in the restaurant, which meant slower service. Overall a cool place. read more

We are back for the 2nd time. This time for my birthday like the last time the food, atmosphere, and staff were outstanding. Our waitress Bybee, was really fun to talk to. She was quick with the food, and kept checking in on us during our meal. Thank you Bybee for making this another enjoyable experience read more

Had the bruschetta appetizer, strawberry salad and filet with risotto. All were very good. Will definitely try it out again!

The atmosphere was great. The service was quick. The food was the only downfall. We ordered the lobster dip... it just tasted like butter with an essence of lobster and the bread it was served with was also drenched in butter. The garlic in the mashed potatoes were overkill. Took two bites but the over abundance of garlic and butter was enough for us to stop there. The burger on the other hand lacked flavor. Fries were good and the bruschetta was exceptional. read more

I discovered this place a few years back when the Cyrus first opened up. Though it was new the staff and the food were great. I am not a fan of crowded Sunday brunches so this place today was absolutely perfect for a quiet, delicious, and relaxing breakfast. Coffee is good for brewed. read more

Very nicely decorated. They have a nice handmade cocktail menu. The food is normally top-notch. The service can be spotty. Sometimes the service is excellent, and sometimes they spend too much time chatting with each other and not paying attention to the clients. read more

Booked table well in advance of Valentines Day & was put at table in bar area. Noisy. Food was ok but not worth the money.

We both ordered the Cajun Spice special and it was excellent (and very large). We had the Shrimp Boil with Sausage, Shrimp, red potatoes, spicy Cole slaw, and an egg and bread pudding for dessert. Service was excellent. read more

We had kind of a mixed experience here. The best part about it was our server, Jazzy, who was amazing and very fast. She took great care of us! We would come back just to experience her. Incredible disposition, and amazing attitude! The food wasn't the best. The onion soup had so many pieces of bread in it that it soaked up all the soup. My wife was disappointed. I had the shrimp cocktail, which was kind of bland and disappointing. The cocktail sauce was marginal and really didn't have enough horseradish. We shared the Cajun chicken pasta for dinner and I enjoyed it. The chicken was a little bit too burnt. But overall the dish and especially the sausage was too spicy for my wife. She was not able to enjoy it. We did enjoy the atmosphere and decor in this restaurant, as it was very classy. After we finished our dinner, Jazzy brought a piece of birthday cake for me. Like I said, she was the bright spot of the experience. read more

Excellent food and service. Very large portions and a nice menu. It was quiet when we were there.

My wife and I Visited for dinner on the evening of Saturday, March 29th. This is a really nice restaurant on Kansas Blvd in Topeka. We were quickly seated by the host in a seat directly in front of the bar. We ordered drinks and an appetizer, crab cakes, to start. Unfortunately, both the drinks and the appetizer took a really long time to get to our table. Once we received our order, everything was great. We ordered dinner after finishing the apps and once again, it took forever to get our food. I had the half herb chicked and smashed potatoes and my wife had the coconut shrimp. Both entrees were okay but nothing to write home a out. Lastly,we had to wait for a long time to get our bill. We will NOT be returning to this restaurant. read more

Food is really good. Customer service has been great also. This is a must if you visit Topeka.

Service was great, but food was not. Drinks were nice and the ambience is fine. I'd be willing to give it another shot though

Suggested by the menu. The atmosphere was very swanky and upscale. The order consisted of (Chicken and Waffles and Cyrus Plate. The food was Good and the service was as Great. I would definitely eat again and stay at the hotel. *Sidenote: there is an All You Can Eat Breakfast Bar for $14.00 read more

After reading the reviews, I'm curious what a non-holiday evening might be like here. My friend was looking for a fancy place to go for Valentine's Day and we came here. They had a prix fixe menu (which apparently the exhausted waitress had to break down to other patrons before we got there, because she treated us like kindergartners who would never have heard of such a concept... imagine a tone dripping with condescension "you cannot just order the entree - it comes with a starter, soup, AND dessert." I did have to hold my tongue and not respond in kind. We started with drinks that were largely OK. I ordered their bread board to absorb the alcohol, and was disappointed. While the display was pretty, the homemade butter left a lot to be desired, and the bread was mediocre. I ordered the gnocchi, which was OK, but the sauce was basic. My friend ordered the duck as he had never had it before. He liked it, and said he would order it again. As we did order from the prix fixe menu, Panna cotta was the only dessert option - and considering I didn't feel like ordering and paying for a separate dessert obviously mine went to my friend. Anyone who knows what Panna cotta is would know that it is also not vegetarian. Obviously, our esteemed waitress did not know. When I brought it to her attention by asking if there was a vegetarian alternative (earning me the "what part of prix fixe didn't you understand" look), she was shocked and went to the kitchen to check to make sure I wasn't an err... she returned and confirmed that it was indeed made with gelatin. No offer to replace it or apology or anything... Which is fine, by that time I had kind of had enough of the restaurant. Needless to say, I was not impressed with the service or food. The ambience felt like, well, a hotel restaurant, which is what it is. read more

Honestly, the best roasted chicken I've ever had. Sorry, the picture couldn't do it justice. Please consider my other reviews and restaurants as a testament to just how incredibly juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone this is. Words have been so abused on lesser meals that I don't think succulent, mouth-watering, or even the statement "we need to drive back to Topeka just for this", can even do it justice. And this was takeout! Bravo, Weather Room, Bravo! read more

Visited the Weather Room for a family gathering. My husband ordered the steak tips over mashed potatoes. He received a large platter with mashed potatoes in the center and beef tenderloin tips, grilled onions and mushrooms in a dark gravy over the entire plate. All sides are extra as are dinner rolls and bread. The beef tips were good, cooked as he wanted them. Taste was OK. I ordered the candied pork chop described as a "marinated pork chop, with bacon, brown sugar, Parmesan cheese; served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes." The pork chop was far from marinated. It was very dry with a pile of chopped bacon, and maybe brown sugar on top. The pork chop had NO FLavor. The topping was good, but this is not what I know as marinated. The garlic mashed potatoes were good and there was a small amount of greens on the plate. My average rating is for my disappointment in the not so "candied pork chop." Side salad is large. Service is very good. Prices for cocktails is very high. read more

Overall service and food/drinks were good. My only complaint was the steak for the money. Don't get me wrong, cooked great and a good cut of meat, but was just very bland for my taste. Would like substantially more seasoning. We will be back but I'll try something other than steak. read more

Reasonable prices, good service, undistinguished ambience but truly mediocre cuisine. My wife and I chose The Weather Room because of good reviews. We were completely disappointed. Some details: We both ordered steaks. She chose the rib eye, and I, in the spirit of Topeka, chose the strip. The rib eye was the thinnest we've ever seen. Both steaks were extremely over-salted (mine was barely edible), and both were quite overcooked. In my case, I asked for "rare" and it was cooked beyond medium. My wife had risotto as a side. It was also barely edible, largely because the ratio of cheese to rice was so far off. It was basically a cheesy goo with some rice added. I had brussel sprouts. They, too, were terribly prepared. The tough stems had not been removed, and they were charred on the outside (that's good), but my guess is that they'd not been parboiled, so there were tough as leather. My wife asked for condiments for her steak - either bearnaise sauce or horseradish. Neither was available. Our server was excellent, and, as I mentioned before, the prices were not outlandish. The atmosphere in the restaurant was what I might expect in any average place - it could have been in a mall. Bottom line - it was pretty awful. read more

The drinks were out of this world amazing! Love the pumpkin tini and the banana bread cocktails!!! The salmon was cooked perfectly and went so well with the brussel sprouts side and risotto. The server was so friendly and checked in at all the right times and gave excellent service. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Way overpriced. Stay away!!! Deep fried calamari awful, overly breaded with bad flavor. Salad dressing also tasted terrible. Made the salad inedible. How could they mess up a simple balsamic vinaigrette?? Main course portions enough for three. Bruschetta bread soft white bread, didn't taste toasted at all. Waitress tried her best though. read more

Four ladies having dinner for a birthday celebration. For dinner we had the smothered pork chop with mushroom risotto, the garlic & herb chicken (x's 2), and the autumn harvest salad with grilled chicken. Dessert was creme brulee, and the mini brownie sundae. For drinks it was a bottle of prosecco and the Fleur 75. Everyone was very pleased with their food, dessert, and drinks! Not a complaint to be had. Our salad lover said it was one of the best salads she's ever had. The mushroom risotto was excellent. The pork chop was bone-in and not dry. The chicken portions were huge and very tasty. Probably just as pleasing was our server - Melissa. She was helpful, fun, and very attentive. If you her as your server, you will be lucky! We will all definitely be back! read more

Avoid The Weather Room, there are much better places to dine in Topeka. The experience with the staff was very disappointing and set the tone for a very poor experience, and the food is not worth the price, it's average at best - very reminiscent of Denny's or Blue Moose, but double the price. Keep reading for all the details. Today, we took my parents to Easter brunch and thought this place would be more upscale than the average restaurant, considering it was $45 a plate for brunch. We had 11:30am reservations and the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived since they had only been open for 30 minutes. We were seated in a dark windowless room, in the very back, while there was plenty of open seating available in the bar area and main rooms. I asked to move to a booth or table in the main room and we were told "no" those are reserved. I also had a reservation, so it made no sense that we were not able to have a better table. We had to speak with 3 different people before it was approved to move to a table in the main room. I want to specifically mention the guy with red hair in charge of hostess seating, he was very condescending and dismissive when we asked for a new seating arrangement. He seems better suited for a back of house position that isn't customer facing. He said he needed to verify if any other table was going to cancel and it would take 20-30 minutes! If the restaurant had been full, I can understand the hesitation or confusion, but it was almost empty, being it had just opened and we were among the first to arrive. It's easy to move a party from one 4 top table to another, then seat the next party with the later reservation at the other table. That is not what happened until we spoke with 3 different people. Not the Easter experience I had hoped for! The buffet itself had a decent presentation, but each item was flavorless. The Cesar salad had pre shredded cheese in it, and food service croutons. What type of restaurant puts preshredded cheddar in a Cesar salad?! And making croutons is one of the most basic items to elevate a salad. If you're going to put cheddar shred in Cesar, at least make it freshly grated. The orzo salad was bland, fingering potatoes were well done but nothing special, ratatouille was super dry and bland (the eggplant slices were like leather and to tough to eat), the wild rice was good and nicely seasoned, and the rolls were extremely dry. I'm a vegetarian so I did not try the meat or fish, but no one was raving about it. The dessert bar was decent for a small buffet, and the apple pie I had was good. My family does not drink, so I can't speak to the mimosas though I'm not sure if that was part of the buffet price or not. Also, the place setting did not include a spoon, so there was nothing to stir our coffees with, and when we asked for more water abd a spoon, service was very slow. Overall, we dined for about 2 hours, and never once were all tables full, if anything the restaurant only ever reached half capacity. And due to the very poor experience and the incapability of red haired guy to tactfully assist with our request, it set the tone for a poor Easter brunch and we will not be back or recommending this place to anyone. Dine on over priced mediocre food at your own risk. This place has potential, very cute decor, unfortunately the poor service and average food overshadow the atmosphere. read more
