Mustafa is our favorite server. He is very kind, knows what we like to drink and always has a big smile on his face. He was at 99 hops and moved over to hops house and we are so happy we found him over here one night at dinner.

This is a classic example of a restaurant being run like it’s the only game in town because it is at that location. Every time we eat there they’re understaffed. The menu has changed since they’ve moved from the original space to a new space within the casino and honestly, it could be so good if they would just do the right things. For example, they got rid of their flatbread pizza. It was the best thing on the menu. They’re fish and chips. This is more breading than fish. Their wings are the best wings I’ve had in Kansas City any bar all in all it’s just the three staffing is a major concern.

Mustafa was an incredible server, so polite, attentive and kind. Our food was delicious too, but he really stood out and we appreciated him, the restaurant was super busy and he made sure to give us A+ service.

Really enjoyed the seafood pasta.🍝 Plenty of salmon and shrimp. The meal was the perfect serving amount.
Bartender/server was amazing. He was extremely pleasant and seemed to enjoy the work he was doing.
