Our waitress was fantastic too: attentive, friendly, on top of everything all night. Where it fell apart was the patio. We were dealing with flies the entire meal -- I mentioned it more than once, and the response was basically 'yeah, we should probably do something about that.' This isn't a cheap night out, and for those prices, that's not acceptable. It's a fixable problem and it wasn't being taken seriously. Food, drinks, and service inside were all a clear win. Management needs to get the patio pest situation under control -- it undercut what would've otherwise been a great night out.

Professional and helpful with menu. bar: It's a brewery and they have broad selection of house beer styles: lagers, wheat, porter, and IPAs. I drank their Skyz the Limit American IPA ($6.50 as of May 2026) and thought it was fine. food: wide ranging menu from flatbreads to plated entrees. There are lots of daily lunch, dinner, and happy hour specials. I had a classic burger with fries and it was OK ($17). My wife had a taco salad with shredded chicken and ground beef on the side and it was also OK ($12, since it was the daily special). details: Dramatic, soaring space with lots of signage.

Restaurant Manager Alex Tuckwin and Chef Ty Armstrong created a personal, unforgettable evening. Each course was beautifully prepared, each wine pairing thoughtfully chosen. The flavors, the setting, the kindness-all exceptional. I didn't know my taste buds could be so astounded! We felt welcomed, relaxed, and truly cared for. It was a five star experience in the heart of a college town. A hidden gem we'll remember for a long time. The Oread is home to two true artists-Alex Tuckwin and Ty Armstrong- and we are so grateful to have experienced their work.

I had the medium rare bone-in ribeye for $49. It was slightly over cooked but not by much. I didn't like the taste of the rub/sauce on the steak as it tasted a little sour. I've never eaten a steak at a steakhouse with this taste. It was certainly unique. I loved the lump crab cakes though; very moist and creamy. The service was great. Our waiter was attentive and offered a free coffee cake for a birthday celebration. J. Wilson's has an average 4.3 stars on Yelp which is really good. However, the bone-in ribeye was underwhelming. I would rather pay $20-30 more for a more exceptional steak. P.S. my brother also could not finish his KC Strip.

We were seated quickly and given time to look over their menu.

The dumplings were freshly cooked and fragrant and the broth was very good. They were some of the best ones we have ever had before. The chili crisps were perfect and I ended up eating it by itself after we ran out of dumplings. The drunken noodles with fried chicken were the perfect choice to end an amazing lunch. We would absolutely recommend and return so we can try the masala and classic pork dumplings!

I thought I had my cheeseburger place picked out and then I remembered I had to get groceries. Since I was going to HyVee for groceries anyway I decided to try the new Market Grille. Negative reviews be gone! This place was great! I ordered take out, though, and no alcohol. I ordered when I first went to the store and picked it up on the way home. I ordered my cheeseburger and it was cooked to perfection. I had several choices of cheeses and how can that ever be bad? My burger was cooked exactly as I ordered. It came fully dressed and it was delicious. I was given a variety of options for sides, too. I ordered a baked potato which was so yummy! There was no extra charge for the potato or the butter and sour cream I wanted. I also wanted scallions and I was informed there was an extra cost for those. I appreciated being kept in the loop as to prices. The potato was cooked perfectly through and it was very tasty. My food was not hot but that was my fault. I shopped too long and the food cooled. Lol. I Will definitely be a repeat customer. All the staff was nice, food was great and the prices reasonable. UPDATE: I've been back a few times and I am removing one star because of inconsistency in service. The food is terrific but the service gets lopsided. Orders incorrect, no silverware, waiter who was leaving his shift and checked us out to get his tip, just not being waited on at all. They truly need to work on these issues. Otherwise, the food and atmosphere are great.
