Three Owls

Three Owls at the Elms Hotel in Excelsior Springs was a nice place for dinner. We were seated right away and the ambience was cozy, especially with the fireplace going. We were able to choose our table, which made the experience feel relaxed and comfortable. The food was good and tasted fresh. The only downside was how long everything took. There were only a few couples in the restaurant, yet each part of the meal felt slow to arrive. Maybe that is why their food tastes good. It seems like they take their time with every dish. Overall it was a pleasant experience with a warm atmosphere and good food, just be prepared for a slower pace.

I had high expectations of the food based on my experience at the spa and in the hotel itself. The food was not amazing, with the exception of the pork belly -that was amazing. I ordered the NY Strip steak and it was not cooked properly (I asked for medium rare and it was barely rare). They didn't offer to order a new dish or steak, but the manager offered to just to fire it up again and it took two tries, and a different server brought it over and asked if I wanted it medium, and I said no, medium rare but this isn't that. He didn't seem to agree. The Caesar salad was pretty bland, and I wished it would be good because I've had some amazing house made Caesar dressing and house made croutons -I've had better store bought salads, and there was even a $2 up charge. I ordered the potatoes and

This was a weird experience. At breakfast, it was absolutely incredible. The service was on point and the food was delivered hot and fast to our table. At dinner, they were trying so hard but it seemed like they were understaffed and needed more help in the front and back of the house. We both had pasta with a cream based sauce that was not served warm enough. The bread was dry (even with butter). We had a custom cake to celebrate my husband's birthday and the manager delivered it to our table. Unfortunately, it was fresh from the refrigerator and cold cake doesn't taste the best. I'm posting pictures of both breakfast and lunch.

While previous Thanksgiving dinners here have been stellar, this year fell very short. I understand that it is quite busy, but the seating was not handled well. The young lady calling out names when it was time to be seated was barely audible & did not pay attention to what was going on. I had just talked with her so when she called us we made eye contact & I acknowledged that we were coming. When we got to the podium I told one of the ladies that was ushering people to their seats that the Krueger party was here. She informed the lady at the podium, but was told we were not the "Party Called" that is was another party who had just checked & the usher should seat them! This other party was taken into the main dining room immediately. The lady in charge continued to seat other parties that

Beautiful looking restaurant, but overall our family agreed it was the worst dining experience we’ve had our entire lives. The food was terrible - the mile high lasagna was inedible by all 4 of us - dry, no meat, disgusting cheese covering it. The “truffle fries” were just regular fries with cheese on top again. The drinks - a bottle of beer and glass of wine took 20 minutes to get to us. The service was so bad we started to question if we were in on some kind of prank or joke. It was truly the worst dinner I’ve ever had and worst service and I left after an hour upset I was out $90. Super disappointing experience.
