OP 1906

Just finished checking in at the Sheraton after a long travel day and I am super pleasantly surprised that the restaurant here at the hotel had delicious food AND good wine. I ordered the 1906 salad, it's a steak salad with blue cheese, pickle onion and blueberry lavender vinaigrette... The combination is sooo good! If you like lavender you have got to try this, I've never had a salad like this before. I paired it with the Troublemaker red blend, it has darker notes which offsets the sweeter vinaigrette to make a really yummy mixture on the palette.

We drove in from Olathe this morning at 9:00 after looking up the hotel restaurant on Google. We noticed that it opened pretty early and decided to come work and eat. When we arrived we were not greeted at the door and went straight to the bar. A very rude lady comes out and tells us that the bar is closed and we noted the sign at the entrance with the restaurant hours(6:30am-11:30am). The lady apologizes and says that they are closed. We were confused and left the establishment after pointing out the sign that said open. Be aware this does not seem to have a diverse friendly culture as a blind haired lady followed and watched us all the way to our car.

I had a friend in town and she was staying the Shertaton hotel while visiting. After a long day of travel, she wanted go grab dinner but didn't want to go too far from the hotel. We decided it would be easiest to check out the OP 1906 which is located inside of the Sheraton. This cool environment serves more than just appetizers, salads, & soups, this restaurant also serves entree items like Blackened Salmon and Beef Wellington. A table favorite was the Gumbo! For dessert, try the Carmel Apple Gooey Butter Cake. If you are staying at the Sheraton, I'd recommend eating here at least one of the nights. If you are a KC local and are looking for somewhere new to try, check out OP 1906!

What a glorious experience I had at OP 1906. When I was invited for dinner and drinks at a hotel bar, I was dubious, but the entire experience was just delightful. I honestly forgot I was even inside a hotel. Our server was absolutely delightful. She made craft cocktails for us, recommended delicious menu items, and had "personality plus"! I live in the area but I will definitely be back to OP1906. It's a beautiful restaurant and bar in a central location. I am happy to have discovered this local gem in my own backyard.

Little expensive on the whole. Pizza was surprisingly good (flavorful red sauce). The burger was just a burger.

Food: C-Service: F-If I could give OP 1906 a lower rating than 1, I would. It's KC Restaurant Week, and my husband and I were thrilled to see that OP 1906 was taking part. We had never gone before and wanted to try it out.Never.Again.There were very few people in the restaurant, and initially someone poured our water. Unfortunately, he wasn't our waiter. Our waitress came a bit later and took our order. Remember - this is during Restaurant Week. There's a pre-set menu.A good 15 minutes later, our first courses came out. The food runner didn't know where our table was and tried to give it to a table that hadn't even ordered it. We guided her in the right direction. While the gumbo was delicious, my kale salad was missing some of the ingredients. Frustrating.Then we waited. And we waited. And we waited. And we waited. Almost an hour after we sat down, we finally received our food. During this time, we saw our waitress once. The Chicken and Waffles were fine but missing many of the ingredients listed. For example, the maple bourbon glaze was really just maple syrup. The burger was tasteless. When Red Robin can provide a better burger, you know something is wrong. The other tables around us had a similar experience. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Thirty minutes after we received our second course, we had to ask for a check. Their excuse was that it was just a busy day and that they weren't expecting a conference to eat there. Considering the conference attendees had just sat down in the last 10 minutes AND one of the chefs came out to chat for 10 minutes with one of her friends, I would say that's a load of lies. Would I ever go back? No.Was the food worth it? No.Would I ever recommend anyone else go here? No way. McDonald's is better than OP 1906 at this point. (Yeah, it was really that bad)

Food took over an hour and came out cold. The waitress said the kitchen was busy and there were three tables. The wholeExperience took 2 hours. The food was like eating a poster board.

Their breakfasts are delish! My friend got their hot/cold buffet & I ordered off the menu. We were both impressed, with the selection and taste of the food. As seasoned business travelers, things can tend to taste the same, but we were also incredibly impressed with the kind attentiveness of their staff. The only downside is if you order off the menu, expect to waittt...that part was no bueno, especially if someone needs to catch a morning meeting/event. Other than that, really great & fairly healthy options.

Happy hour: not on Friday nights.The blue lighting job behind the bar is cool. The hanging pendant lights are too. As are the tv's with which you can watch Duke get crushed, like they need to be destroyed in March Madness to obliterate the hopes and dreams of all people who fanboy Duke to death, whether or not they academically could have been accepted into Duke.Other than that: overpriced like an airport bar for a weak cocktail.If you are staying at the Sheraton or nearby in the convention center it is close. But other places are a few blocks away, better, and cheaper if you are willing to walk or you have a car.

John Taffer could really help this place. I bought a mango martini for my wife that came in a wine glass with two cherries instead of a martini glass. She's said it was really good and got me one. The second martini did come in a martini glass, instead of a wine glass but was garnished with an orange slice. My wife ordered a second martini at the same time and it was served in a champaign flute with no garnish at all. I want consistency in what I order. Two drinks on the same menu should be the same regardless of which mixologist makes it. Also, martini's should be served in martini glasses, wine in a wine glass, etc...The drinks were really good, just not consistently the same.The drink menu was very long, pages. It had one entire page just for martini's. I would like a simplified drink menu, one-two pages both front and back. If they have 50 "signature" drinks there is no consistency and if I walk up to a bar in a hotel for a mixed drink, I want it to be quick and easy. The last thing you want after a long day is to make even more decisions. Just give me something that tastes good (they did) and if I want a second one make it the same as the first (they did not).I know very little about mixed drinks. Don't make them at home and very rarely order them. The easier they make the process and product the better. I do know that.
