“Awesome Place .. the chef was amazing he came To our table to make sue all was good. Our waitress omg can I take her with me haha the best We went today feb 13 th at 5:45 had the Philly chicken wings and the filet .. loved it … great bar as well”

“Stayed at Origin hotel and wandered down for dinner. Man, this place was great! Bartender Derek made me a virgin strawberry mojito that was delightful. There were so many items on the dinner menu that sounded delicious, but I decided on the shrimp orzo. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and the whole dish was flavorful. Service, food, and atmosphere were all great.”

“Giving it 5 stars because the service and staff were phenomenal! The menu is definitely whimsical and more fine dining-gastronomical so don’t expect huge portions. We got a bunch of different dishes and were a fan of the pork cheek/grits dish as well as the bolognese pasta, wow. We didn’t really care for the desserts, the carrot cake was dry and the icing was too sweet so I’d skip that. Really great upscale spot for drinks and dinner for a date and just hang out with friends!”

“This restaurant opened in November and we visited on New Year’s Eve. We had a wonderful time in every way. The decor is upscale casual with very large windows throughout. There is a very large bar with a wall of television screens and a skee ball machine. The bar area opens easily into the lobby of the hotel. Our server was very personable and attentive. He made great suggestions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a very interesting fried cheese appetizer to share. It was one of the most interesting dishes I have ever eaten, with many different textures and flavors. We both ordered the pork cheeks over grits. It was probably the most tender pork we have ever eaten. There is a very large patio area that will be fantastic. In warmer weather. The entire establishment overlooks, the Missouri river and the new women’s soccer stadium. We love the location and can’t wait to bring our adult children to eat here with us.”

“Show Pony was an okay experience, but it felt like the operations weren’t quite in place. The staff was friendly, but the service struggled—likely due to being heavily understaffed. At times, even the chefs had to bring out dishes because there weren’t enough waiters. The food was fine, nothing particularly memorable, and the drinks were decent. That said, some cocktails priced at $22–$24 felt steep, even considering premium liquor options. The space itself is beautifully decorated, but the menu is pretty limited. Overall, not a bad spot, but there’s definitely room for improvement.”
