    During my stay in Kansas City, I booked a room at the Origin Hotel. I like the area of the hotel and was happy they had a restaurant inside for convenience . Before going I checked out the reviews and seen some pics online. The place looked nice but once I went inside the restaurant it was a different story. The place felt dingy and dirty. The service was really slow and the food and drinks were over priced. I paid $35.00 for some lamb tacos! Once it was all said and done, I left paying $70 for a meal one drink and tip and I still felt like I needed something else. I was hoping for a better experience but I’m one and done.

    I tried making a reservation through Google, but I kept getting texts saying it wasn’t confirmed. I called the restaurant and got a voicemail saying you could reserve on OpenTable or leave a message. OpenTable didn’t show anything, and when I tried to leave a message, the mailbox was full. We showed up at 6:30 hoping our reservation went through — turns out it didn’t matter. The place was completely empty. Two people at the bar, no music, one bartender. I told him I thought I had a reservation, and he said, “We don’t take reservations.” When I mentioned that Google allows them, he shrugged and said, “Yeah, that’s all wrong. Nothing online is correct — not even the menu. We don’t check voicemail because everything goes through corporate.” We decided to stay, but the food was very disappointing. My “lobster roll” had almost no lobster, and the fried mushrooms were soggy. Overall, a completely forgettable experience. We won’t be back — and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place.

    Show Pony is fantastic! They may be facing staffing issues as every other restaurant in Kansas City, but the staff they do have always have a smile on their face! Food is fantastic! Specifically the catfish sliders and lobster roll! Amazing!

    Breakfast Review: If you are staying at the hotel, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else to get breakfast. It seems convenient, but you’ll regret it. A group of 8 of us went and it was flat out terrible. 3 of our group ordered the pancakes and had to ask for extra syrup multiple times because they were so dry. Not a single person was satisfied with their meal. My husband and I paid $40+ and would’ve preferred a continental buffet over this “restaurant” breakfast. On top of everything the service was lacking. Definitely a staffing issue and not the servers fault. So many great places to eat while in KC, save your time and money.
