They ruined the $35 steak and left it sitting on the table getting cold while we waited for all the rest of the food. The meatball was more like a meatloaf, and the pink vodka sauce might as well have come out of a jar. The very apolgetic manager refunded the steak. We did get a tiramisu, which was OK. Sorry, because I was looking forward to this place after a long day on the road. But man, it was a drag.

What a unique experience!! Honestly that is how I can best describe my time here! We came with some…read morefriends while visiting town, and I absolutely loved the uniqueness of the building. It had a very vintage feel and decor and also was connected to an older gym from a school. Yet, they made the experience and vibe of your dinner feel nice and elegant. They're only open on the weekends, so make sure you get a reservation as it filled up very fast! They serve your food through many courses so be prepared to stay and enjoy for a few hours. We enjoyed the company of our friends as the environment was very laid back and took our time. You start with options for appetizers, soup/salad, entree, and dessert. They even had complimentary, adorable palette cleansers between each course! (My favorite was the raspberry sorbet-super delicious). For food we had the artichoke bruschetta for an appetizer (very different than normal bruschetta but flavorful). We also had the arugula salad which I thought was really good! For entree, I ordered the stuffed chicken and was pleased and satisfied with the flavors. It could have come out a bit hotter, but was still good. My boyfriend ordered the ribeye, which was a pretty good size and said he thoroughly enjoyed! And for dessert, we had the cheesecake which was homemade and very delicious. The staff was also friendly throughout the night but, again, just be prepared to take your time as they tend to as well! Overall, I had a great time and really enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend and would love to experience again!

Keeping in mind that this is in Dodge City and not Kansas City, it is decent Italian food. The…read moreatmosphere was pleasant. Every table had a real/fresh rose. Cloth napkins. Husband had the Dean Martin and really liked it. On the other hand my spaghetti with meatballs was average. Not great. Not terrible. Just fine. As others have noted, the bread sticks are inedible. Tough like they've been warmed in the microwave. And the water was undrinkable! Awful taste. Probably Dodge City tap water. Order a soft drink, iced tea, or wine if you need liquid while you eat. I would probably eat here again if given the opportunity. Just keep your expectations tempered and you'll have a pleasant dining experience.

My moscato was delicious. We asked for a salad to share and they brought the crispy salad divided for us in two bowls. My spouse had spaghetti marinara with sausage. He enjoyed the entire well-made creation minus the bite I took. I agreed. My salmon and shrimp fettuccine Alfredo was wonderful. It had ample fresh sauce, perfectly prepared salmon and shrimp. I had enough that I have lunch for tomorrow. The accompanying bread sticks were plentiful and flavorful. The wait staff are attentive and cooperative with one another--that's a huge plus in my book. I will definitely recommend this family restaurant, you will too.

He had the fried chicken filet on top. It was recommended by the waitress.It was absolutely seasoned to perfection! My father in law had a salad and it was served on a plate but long slices of cucumber was used as a wall for a bowl. It was the first time I have seen it but it's a really pretty presentation and way better than any salad I've seen that was creative. My father in law Loved it. I had a huge bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce. It was great! No complaints! There was enough for two on every plate. They also bring out some sliced bread freshly baked and they served us a 2nd basket, Thank Goodness because the two men with me inhaled it! They made a plate of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and some Parmesan. However, I am a traditionalist.I prefer it without balsamic. I love every balsamic I've had but this dish. Your balsamic is good but I would prefer tasting only the olive oil with seasonings and Parmesan. Now that's a preference and not a complaint. I'm sure if I had asked for a plate of just olive oil the waitress would have provided it for me. The waitress we had was training another girl. The new girl doesn't know how lucky she is to train with our waitress. Mature, thoughtful and very much on top of everything. None of us ran out of our drinks. I am not a Karen but she absolutely took care of us like we were in an 4 star restaurant. Now, for my only critic. The restaurant was freezing. The only thing was that it turned my dish cold. Believe me when I say the dishes were amazingly hot! It also stayed hot for a lot longer than any restaurant food I have had! But the air was blowing straight into my plate quicker than the other two. I know you can't turn it up but maybe redirection away from the tables? I forgot to mention my father in law had a dish with shrimp and I think ravioli. He loved it as well! Superb food! It is in a strip mall like structure. They have done a wonderful job inside for what they have to work with. They have a row of single tables along a long divider in across from those in front of all the windows are four tops. I didn't go further in to see around the wall. They did have some big family curved banquettes on another wall.

Enthusiastic, informed, and encouraging. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the kitchen and bar. We must have interacted with a dozen folks: hosts, food runners, sommelier, and managers. Everyone was unfailing polite and professional. bar: I drank a Bulleit Rye Manhattan ($11) and my wife had a Grey Goose Cosmo ($13). Both were strong showings of those two classic cocktails. I followed up with a Boulevard Single Wide IPA bottle ($6) and was thrilled to see that old reliable. food: Service begins with exceptional bread and complimentary Baba Ghanoush. The menu described my wife's Pappardelle Bolognese ($25) as having, "mean mule Bolognese sauce." Have never seen the term, mean mule, but this version appeared to incorporate some cream. My 5 oz. Salmon Piccata ($25) with broccolini, asparagus, and rice was very good. We finished with Ultimate Chocolate Cake ($16) and - as the menu describes - it really is for two persons or take-home. It was my birthday and the restaurant graciously comped my dessert, which was extremely nice. details: This is a large, bustling, bright restaurant with choice of inside, outside, and bar seating. Reservations are highly recommended, at least for busy times. We parked on the street and even on Saturday night with a show at the Stiefel Theatre we had no problems.

Completely locally owned and operated, Poppy's Pizza and More is right on Main Street in St. John,…read moreKansas. The meat pizza is excellent. I tried the mini and the 10-inch. It is meaty and filling and hearty and good. The chicken wings were chicken wings. I could have really used a spicy, spicy, 'burn the seams off a baseball hot' option. But I still enjoyed them. It's hard to find good hot wings. However, Poppy's wings will stave-off the hot wing craving when it strikes. The meatball sandwich was pretty good, although I thought the marinara sauce could have been spicier. Like I said, I like things with a kick. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. I love this business and the food. Give Poppy's a try. You'll be glad you did.
