Reviews for Anton's in Kansas City, MO
I was disappointed. Anton's was recommended by a colleague, but it was severely overrated. Small establishment. More of a... tavern than a restaurant. Most tables are high tops. Good for tall customers but becomes uncomfortable for height challengedfolks like my wife. Menus were smeared with food and beer (hence that tavern feel). They charged an additional $8 for a bakedpotato to accompany my steak. The potato was luke warm when it arrived AND it was covered in a nacho cheese sauce; definitelynot worth the $8 they charged. I ordered my steak medium rare (135°internal) but it came out very rare (~115° at best). I Itwas the first time in 20 years I asked a restaurant to take my steak back to the kitchen and cook it more. I tried 2 beers.Both were warm. I guess warm is ok in Germany, but I like my beer cold. I ordered a new beer when my first glass was 1/3 full.I waited >15 minutes for a new beer to arrive while the remainder of my steak got cold. Read more
Well this is my first time coming here and I have to say it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere is very cozy and not... too noisy. The hospitality is great and feels genuine. They have a very large selection of alcohol so I'm sure you can findsomething that your taste buds will like. The food came out in timely manner, so that's a plus. I was able to share a 16oz steakwith my significant other and it was more than enough to fill us up. I have to say I'm very impressed with the overall service.BTW the creme brulee is phenomenal, it's definitely a must have dessert. I was on the brink of licking the bowl clean but I hadto restrain myself from doing so lol. You won't be disappointed dining here if you're ever in the downtown KC area. Our waiterChris did an awesome job serving us as well. Read more
Steak was a cooked to order, have selections of grain-fed or grass-fed steak. Sides were ok, nothing stupendous about them. We... had bone marrow appetizer, which smelled horrible, but taste ok. Get if you want the experience, but I felt is not worth it. Itried grain-fed rib eye, which was flavorful; my partner had grass fed filet, which was more juicy/tender. Get the bone marrowbutter though. Nice bar/beer selection. Everything I felt was over-priced for what you receive (possibly pandemic related). Iwill go back to order from their butcher shop for some good cuts of meat. This rating is about right: 4-4.2 Read more
First time in. Sat at the bar as I was solo. Wanted to give a higher rating but for the price point the food was just average.... Ordered the pork belly appetizer first and a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine was great. Then ordered a 16oz KC Strip(which was really a NY strip, but that?s pretty common) with a ?wedge? salad. Still waiting for the pork belly, which was fine,but a little surprised when the salad showed up first and it wasn?t a ?wedge? but stalks of Romain. Tasted good and fresh withblue cheese crumbles and a nice ranch, just not what I expected. Pork belly arrived shortly after. Right away I could tell thatit appeared a little undercooked. I knew it was safe, but I was also not surprised when it was a little tough. Good flavorthough, but a little under seasoned. Had a strange purple sauce with it that could have been left off. Then the strip came out.Cooked to temp properly, but bare bones, not a hint of seasoning at all. Beef had good flavor but would have been elevated by alittle salt. Expect to spend about a $100 per person. Sadly, I was expecting much better food. Ambiance and service kept thisrating from dropping to a 2 star. Read more
Anton?s was so good. Visited here (stumbled on it really!) when in town from Vegas. Being from Vegas I?ve been to a great many... steakhouses, so I?ll mention what I liked about this place that set it apart from your average. 1. Every cut offers a grass fedor grain fed option. Ask your server for a recommendation on which cut to get grass fed and which to get grain so that you?resure of what you?re ordering. Apparently there is a big difference. I was grateful to have the option. 2. Great wine selection,and local beer selection. I had the ?baby blue? red blend. It was excellent, If you like red wine definitely try a glass. 3. Idid like that the steak was not over salted, and that it was not over cooked. These are problems I?ve encountered at a lot ofsteakhouses. They served the steaks with a side of bone marrow infused butter and this adds a smoky, savory flavor. Over aperfectly salted cut of meat, this made for one of the better steak experiences I?ve had thus far. Also worth mentioning, ourbartender and server Jodie was a pleasure to meet and had so much knowledge about the place and all of the dishes, greatrecommendations, and convinced me to get the chocolate cake for dessert which was downright incredible. I will most certainlyvisit Anton?s on every return trip to Kansas City from here on out. It was a Great choice! Read more
The bar was amazing! Such great staff, and the the ox tail soup was incredibly flavorful, but the grain fed ribeye was not the... best. Good quality meat, but no flavor. Solid bar though! Read more
Felt welcomed right off the bat. The decor was really fun and awesome. Didn?t have reservations but they sat us fairly easily.... It was a Tuesday so it wasn?t super busy. The upstairs was really fun and the wine glasses were huge! The waitress was veryknowledgeable. She understood the entire menu and made suggestions. The white sangria was very delicious and fresh. The saladwas served in a chilled bowl, was fresh and tasty. Steak soup was hot. The steaks were awesome. The farm to table idea isgrowing in popularity and it?s well worth it. The KC strip was dry aged 28 days and the filet was grass fed. The standards ofmedium at Anton?s are different than most of the world but at a higher end restaurant, it makes sense. They let you know andkeep you informed. Read more
Loved this place. Found on a referral from another local business. One of the best ribeyes I have ever had. Love the farm to... table menu and grass fed options! Beat bread pudding ever. Loved everything about our experience. Read more
