My wife & I ate at this establishment for the first time yesterday evening. We had a gift…read morecertificate so we figured we would use it. Over the years I've heard so many people speak on how wonderful the food is. I ordered a KC strip medium rare w/ fries & had a side of broccoli. My wife ordered the catfish bites. My steak had grill flavor. As far as seasoning goes: bland. My wife's catfish was seasoned well. She was pleased w/ her meal. Kyle, our waiter asked how our meal was. I was honest & told him my steak was not seasoned. At this point I believe he felt to no longer ask us if we needed refills. He walked past our table several times checking up on the table sitting behind us. A $15-$20 tip he could have easily had if he had kept our drinks refilled & showed presence turned into an $8.00 tip. I will go as far to say that I would have considered revisiting the establishment & ordering something else. I also take into account that it's a bar & grill. I imagine if I would have ordered chicken fingers & fries under the same circumstances I would be more-apt to return. So a lesson to myself is to not order a steak at a bar & grill. As for the atmosphere. It' has good south-end hometown vibes. Not again, unfortunately.

The waitresses, know their jobs, they are constantly coming around and checking on their tables no matter how busy they are asking if anything is needed, if everything is ok, etc. The food is delicious to say the least. Even the BLT has more B on it than I've seen any place have in a very long time. The place itself is very clean and well maintained, especially for as busy as they stay all the time. I give kudos to Kyle, Whitney and Kyle Jr. for the jobs they do with that business! Sarah, Taylor, Liv and Cass are some of the best waitresses around.

The pistachio cranberry bread was inspirational--a couple of people said they were going to try to make it. The melted chocolate truffle was amazing, as always. My very favorite was the white chocolate mousse--the dot of raspberry sauce was delightful. The mousse was light and airy but also rich and decadent--and my last bite had a white chocolate chip. That was the perfect ending to a perfect lunch. And the coffee, as always, was SOOOOO yummy. Thanks JC Wyatt for accommodating our special Christmas luncheon celebration!

I have to start this review with an apology to St. Joseph, Missouri. I love the city, it is…read moreinteresting, and we absolutely love the city. Our only critique is the lack of fine dining. Luckily, that is where the JC Wyatt House comes in. Not only is the food top rate, but the entire experience is amazing. At the JC Wyatt House, you have dinner in an intimate, small dining room inside a Victorian Mansion. Here is how it works. They are only open on Thursday and Friday, 1130am to 1230pm, for lunch and Wednesday thru Saturday, 530pm to 7pm for dinner. Reservations are required and you will choose your main entree for all of your party when you make your reservation. We went for our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. We arrived a few minutes before our 6pm reservation and were seated. At exactly 6pm, our server, Chris, started with our choice of hors d'oeuvres. Either a potato and fresh vegetable soup, or shrimp cocktail. My wife had the shrimp, and I had the soup. Both were outstanding. For dinner, I had the lamb, and my wife had the filet mignon. Both came with potatoes, carrots and a roll. Again, both meals were outstanding. We finished with a dessert trio that was amazing. Besides the fantastic meal, the service was first class, and the ambiance was really special. This is a must visit for an amazing meal. Call today and get your reservations.

On two occasions a group of us in our late 60s have tried to have lunch here on a Monday. The first…read moretime one of our members called ahead to be sure they could accommodate a group that runs between 8 and 20 routinely. They were assured that they could. When we arrived, however, there were only 2 staff on duty, a bartender and a cook. Nonetheless, the bartender and I moved tables and got ready for up to 15. 18 arrived, and the barkeep added a table. He indicated more than once that NO ONE had prepared him for us or even mentioned our reservation. Service was slow, as you can imagine, food arrived over a period of 30 minutes, and several of our group were unhappy but I detailed the situation to them and mentioned that it was not the bartender/server's fault. the food was good, in almost everyone's estimation. Obviously the cook knew what HE was doing. I tried to get everyone back in there again for about a year before they all said ok, and we scheduled again, 2 or 3 weeks before our visit. when we arrived it was the same story. I asked to speak to the manager or owner, but neither was there. later, I attempted to find the owner's name to discuss this nicely with them, as I have been in business management since 1974, and understand the demands and that owners would always like to know if things aren't right in their absence. After research, I was told the owner listed in the current, 2023, city directory was gone and a new owner had it. In any case, we polled the group and decided to take our group of 16 elsewhere. I noticed we constituted about a 100% increase in lunch attendance from what I saw, and our tab that day at a similar business exceeded $ 225. That's a lot to lose on inefficient communication! I doubt I can convince that gang to try them again, but I liked the food. Maybe I'll get it from Grubhub next time because this is ridiculous. If you have more than 6 for lunch there, keep moving....
