    We had a nice time at Anton’s! Our server Caleb was good. Our friends wanted to try Anton’s and so did we. They are known for steaks and we were all steaked out, so we opted for other things. We had the shrimp cocktail appetizer and the delicious meatballs. Wow!! My friend and I ordered the Steak Au Poivre. I got mine with pasta as I don’t love fries. I was grateful they made the substitution for me. My friend’s husband and my wife both got the fresh fish special, which was salmon, potato latkes and broccoli. All were delicious! The Steak Frites (au poivre) was more like a cream sauce. Neither of us could detect any pepper in it. Caleb brought us the pepper grinder and we went to work. Fixed it. Our friend had a house salad she enjoyed. We skipped dessert here and went for gelato, as it was a hot summer night. The restroom area is a little janky and unique. Certainly a historic building!

    We went out to celebrate — nothing fancy, just an excuse to raise a glass and eat something that wasn’t made in our own kitchen. The place had that classic steakhouse swagger the second we walked in. Dark wood, the hum of country music playing just loud enough to remind you you’re in Kansas City, and a bar lined with enough local taps to make you believe the city could run on beer alone. KC supporting KC — the way it should be. Rachel was behind the bar, the kind of bartender who carries the place on her shoulders without making a show of it. She was busy, sure, but she didn’t rush. Instead, she leaned in and gave us the kind of intro every first-timer deserves: what they do, what they stand for, and where to look for the good stuff. She pointed out the butcher counter like it was sacred ground, ran through happy hour, and somehow still made it feel like we had her full attention. A real bartender’s bartender — no frills, no nonsense, just genuine care. Drinks hit the bar fast. Mine came on strong with lemon — a little too strong. Tart enough to drown the balance that should’ve been there. My partner’s was a bruiser, the kind of cocktail that hits you first and apologizes later. But the walnut bitters punched through nicely — a small redemption in a glass that could’ve used a little restraint. We ordered three appetizers because moderation is for the uncommitted: wings, meatballs, and Korean beef riblets. The meatballs stole the show. Big, juicy, unapologetic — the kind of meatball that reminds you why the Italians do Sunday dinner better than anyone. Fat, herbs, garlic, and sauce that begged for bread to mop it up. Perfect. The wings had that beautiful crisped-up skin — the kind that shatters under your teeth — but the meat underneath had gone too far, left dry in the chase for texture. The buffalo sauce had separated a bit on the plate, but that house-made blue cheese saved it. Creamy, dill-forward, clearly made by someone who gives a damn. Then there were the riblets. Tender? Sure. Juicy? Absolutely. But “Korean”? Not really. The lime was great, the chipotle dipping sauce was tasty — but chipotle isn’t Korean. No gochujang, no funk, no spice — just a solid rib with an identity crisis. As the shift turned over, Rachel cleaned us up, laughed with us, and cheered us for clearing every plate. We’re no strangers to enjoying ourselves, and she saw that — celebrated it, even. But when the bill came, the goodbye wasn’t there. Not cold, just… unfinished. Like a great song fading out instead of ending on a final note. Still, I walked out smiling. The kind of place that might not blow your mind, but it sticks with you — in the details, the effort, the humanity. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about perfection. It’s about places like this — dark wood, cold beer, good people — trying to do right by the city that built them.

    A little afternoon cocktail and appetizers. Atmosphere was great, service was a bit slow. Food average. Underwhelming on the old fashioned. Wasn't good enough to have another.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Anton’s! The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed date. Cozy, welcoming, and unhurried. The steak was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!
