Elevation Grille — Restaurant in Raytown

Pros: Salmon grits were great Bartender was friendly Drinks were strong which I like

Cons: Walked in around 12pm today, and was told we couldn’t sit at any of the tables because they may or may not be reserved, and could only sit at the bar (We were here for about an hour and a half and nobody had sat at the tables) They didn’t have potatoes for my skillet dish which I ordered initially and also didn’t have tonic for my cocktail. Some lady maybe the owner or manager told us we needed to be checked (for weapons) RUDELY…….AND that we needed to pay a $10 cover each after sitting at the bar for 30 minutes. My fiancée told her we’d leave if we needed to pay the cover and she said we didn’t have to pay the cover but still checked us for weapons at 12pm in the afternoon on a Sunday in church attire……….. I’d prob keep her in the back next time. The plastic silver ware is ridiculous This isn’t up-scale, but definitely has the potential

wish i could give them more stars, unfortunately not the case..i've been this place twice and it was same experience each time. from the minute i walked to the door..not even making it inside the establishment, the security was overly aggressive and then followed with the same if not worse energy by the host i assume. very nasty attitude..you would have assumed we knew eachother and had some type of beef. anyway i preceeded with my night although that left a bad taste in my mouth. the server was nice but it took a while to receive any service or anything we ordered, granted it was a little busy but the wait seemed a little excessive in my opinion. that 2nd time was it for me. i gave grace hoping that it may have been a "bad night" but then discovering this is normal behavior is unacceptable for a business. this is not to bring anyone down but to bring awareness in hope for a...

Just had a VERY cringe experience. Popped in this evening and apparently we were there at the same time that an event was supposed to be happening. We walked in at 8:03 and were told that the kitchen was still prepping so it would be a while before we could order food. We sat down at the bar talking to the bartender waiting for a drink and out of nowhere a lady starts yelling at the 4 of us who were seated in there that if we weren’t apart of the band then we needed to come back to the door. We didn’t immediately get up because what the heck is happening!? She then proceeds to yell “are y’all apart of the band?” in our direction. We got up and left out of the door and this was about 8:09. That was our FIRST time in this establishment and most...
