What is the best restaurant in KC?

Man I just don't agree.

I've been to Bonefish in the Northland a bunch of times (just a few minutes from my folks house) and I don't think it's a close call. Bonefish typically comes across as just a fairly standard seafood restaurant. Better than Red Lobster of course, but not a top tier spot either.

Simply a pretty good spot; on any given night maybe a little better or worse than McCormick & Schmick's. Haven't thought it to be on the same tier as Bristol.

See...I actually do agree. And I like Bristol, don't get me wrong. I'll also admit to not having the most refined seafood palate in the world. But I've eaten at Bonefish probably 20 times in my life and EVERY single time the food has been on point and great. I can't say the same for a lot of other seafood places I've tried. I honestly don't even know if McCormick is still open these days because I swore about 5-6 years ago I'd never go back after having another shitty meal there.

I tried that Jax Fish House a time or two, which I understand might be closed now and it was good. I'd compare it to Bristol, which I'm again not saying I dislike. But the consistency of Bonefish just does it for me if I'm in the mood for seafood. I'm pretty much guaranteed to love the meal.
