The Weather Room

I discovered this place a few years back when the Cyrus first opened up. Though it was new the staff and the food were great.I am not a fan of crowded Sunday brunches so this place today was absolutely perfect for a quiet, delicious, and relaxing breakfast.Coffee is good for brewed.

Overall service and food/drinks were good. My only complaint was the steak for the money. Don't get me wrong, cooked great and a good cut of meat, but was just very bland for my taste. Would like substantially more seasoning. We will be back but I'll try something other than steak.

I recently dined at The Weather Room in Topeka, and it was an exceptional experience. There were three in our party and we ordered the cheeseburger, candied pork chop, and steak tips, and each dish was fantastic. The flavors were spot-on, and the quality of the ingredients was evident. I also enjoyed a perfectly crafted Manhattan cocktail that complemented the meal beautifully.I ordered the brownie dessert. See the photo as that says it all. The service was attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. If you're in Topeka, I highly recommend checking out The Weather Room for a memorable dining experience.

Suggested by the menu. The atmosphere was very swanky and upscale. The order consisted of (Chicken and Waffles and Cyrus Plate. The food was Good and the service was as Great. I would definitely eat again and stay at the hotel. *Sidenote: there is an All You Can Eat Breakfast Bar for $14.00

Honestly, the best roasted chicken I've ever had. Sorry, the picture couldn't do it justice. Please consider my other reviews and restaurants as a testament to just how incredibly juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone this is. Words have been so abused on lesser meals that I don't think succulent, mouth-watering, or even the statement "we need to drive back to Topeka just for this", can even do it justice. And this was takeout! Bravo, Weather Room, Bravo!

We had kind of a mixed experience here. The best part about it was our server, Jazzy, who was amazing and very fast. She took great care of us! We would come back just to experience her. Incredible disposition, and amazing attitude!The food wasn't the best.The onion soup had so many pieces of bread in it that it soaked up all the soup. My wife was disappointed.I had the shrimp cocktail, which was kind of bland and disappointing. The cocktail sauce was marginal and really didn't have enough horseradish.We shared the Cajun chicken pasta for dinner and I enjoyed it. The chicken was a little bit too burnt. But overall the dish and especially the sausage was too spicy for my wife. She was not able to enjoy it.We did enjoy the atmosphere and decor in this restaurant, as it was very classy.After we finished our dinner, Jazzy brought a piece of birthday cake for me. Like I said, she was the bright spot of the experience.

After reading the reviews, I'm curious what a non-holiday evening might be like here. My friend was looking for a fancy place to go for Valentine's Day and we came here. They had a prix fixe menu (which apparently the exhausted waitress had to break down to other patrons before we got there, because she treated us like kindergartners who would never have heard of such a concept... imagine a tone dripping with condescension "you cannot just order the entree - it comes with a starter, soup, AND dessert." I did have to hold my tongue and not respond in kind. We started with drinks that were largely OK. I ordered their bread board to absorb the alcohol, and was disappointed. While the display was pretty, the homemade butter left a lot to be desired, and the bread was mediocre. I ordered the gnocchi, which was OK, but the sauce was basic. My friend ordered the duck as he had never had it before. He liked it, and said he would order it again. As we did order from the prix fixe menu, Panna cotta was the only dessert option - and considering I didn't feel like ordering and paying for a separate dessert obviously mine went to my friend. Anyone who knows what Panna cotta is would know that it is also not vegetarian. Obviously, our esteemed waitress did not know. When I brought it to her attention by asking if there was a vegetarian alternative (earning me the "what part of prix fixe didn't you understand" look), she was shocked and went to the kitchen to check to make sure I wasn't an err... she returned and confirmed that it was indeed made with gelatin. No offer to replace it or apology or anything... Which is fine, by that time I had kind of had enough of the restaurant. Needless to say, I was not impressed with the service or food. The ambience felt like, well, a hotel restaurant, which is what it is.

The drinks were out of this world amazing! Love the pumpkin tini and the banana bread cocktails!!! The salmon was cooked perfectly and went so well with the brussel sprouts side and risotto. The server was so friendly and checked in at all the right times and gave excellent service. I will definitely be back soon.

Reasonable prices, good service, undistinguished ambience but truly mediocre cuisine.My wife and I chose The Weather Room because of good reviews. We were completely disappointed. Some details:We both ordered steaks. She chose the rib eye, and I, in the spirit of Topeka, chose the strip. The rib eye was the thinnest we've ever seen. Both steaks were extremely over-salted (mine was barely edible), and both were quite overcooked. In my case, I asked for "rare" and it was cooked beyond medium.My wife had risotto as a side. It was also barely edible, largely because the ratio of cheese to rice was so far off. It was basically a cheesy goo with some rice added.I had brussel sprouts. They, too, were terribly prepared. The tough stems had not been removed, and they were charred on the outside (that's good), but my guess is that they'd not been parboiled, so there were tough as leather.My wife asked for condiments for her steak - either bearnaise sauce or horseradish. Neither was available.Our server was excellent, and, as I mentioned before, the prices were not outlandish. The atmosphere in the restaurant was what I might expect in any average place - it could have been in a mall.Bottom line - it was pretty awful.

Four ladies having dinner for a birthday celebration. For dinner we had the smothered pork chop with mushroom risotto, the garlic & herb chicken (x's 2), and the autumn harvest salad with grilled chicken. Dessert was creme brulee, and the mini brownie sundae.For drinks it was a bottle of prosecco and the Fleur 75.Everyone was very pleased with their food, dessert, and drinks! Not a complaint to be had. Our salad lover said it was one of the best salads she's ever had. The mushroom risotto was excellent. The pork chop was bone-in and not dry. The chicken portions were huge and very tasty.Probably just as pleasing was our server - Melissa. She was helpful, fun, and very attentive. If you her as your server, you will be lucky!We will all definitely be back!
