O'dowd's Gastrobar - Kansas City

I signed up online for a high-top table for three, It was for my daughter's birthday. The online reservation asked if it was for any special events. Not only did we get sat at a low table, she was never approached with a Happy Birthday or anything. I was really disappointed. Food was average. One out of 3 dishes were very memorable. Probably won't be coming back anytime soon. Online reviews had noted average food and service, and I can concur nothing really stood out to make our experience any different.

Been eating at Odowd 's for quite a while. Food is consistently good..(not great but good). Prices are bit high for what you get...but this is The Plaza . Service ranges from excellent to 'just OK '...(depends a lot who you get)....but having said that, the wait staff has also been consistently enthusiastic and friendly. If you are a coffee drinker, then Odowd 's will disappoint. Coffee is consistently luke-warm...(I know that alcohol is the 'beverage of choice ' at places like Odowd 's but in an era when even McDonald 's has decent coffee, one would think a little more attention could be paid). Odowd 's is a fun place to go...lively and energetic. This means NOISE. Noise can be good, making an evening fun...or it can be bad, interfering with conversation. Pick your occasion with this in mind.

The food is good but not great. The new menu is disappointing and there are not that many options. I think the food will have to be improved if they hope to complete with all the other restaurants on The Plaza.

Food was good, feels like a fancier restaurant rather than a sports bar, but it was very loud.

The food was fine, but we had really awful service. Our waitress hardly checked on us and because of this we had to wait an unusual amount of time for our checks and for water refills. The restaurant was not very busy at this time. We were left without silverware but luckily a busboy passed by and we were able to request some. The food was good, but I would not recommend dining here. This is a great place to party at night or grab drinks in the early evening, but I would not recommend dining.
