"Ameristar is a place in decline.The buffet is gone, and with it, a variety of decent food at a fair price. The micro brewery was closed and the place was basically empty. All that was missing were a few tumble weeds.This Cantina was just a continuation of the disappointment.I ordered steak nachos and received a plate of mostly lettuce some kind of white sauce and meat; having the texture of cardboard with and a hint of beef flavoring.This stomach churning entry set me back $20 dollars, plus a tip.The best thing about this experience other than leaving was the server, Vu. He was enjoyable to speak with.Whoever is making the food decisions for Ameristar needs to be fired."

Missed getting chips and salsa prior to the meal....but otherwise was pleased with the food and service. The nacho plate is huge, so bear that in mind!!

The hot salsa is really enchilada sauce, see the brown sauce in pics. The best thing we had was the $7 lime margaritas. The wife liked the chicken Torta. Overall a 3/5, at least you don't have to drive here.

As a truck driver I get to try food all over the U.S and when I found this place I had to try it, after having done so i wish I would have took the money I spent here and put in in the slot machines...it was that bad.

"We are in town for New Years and a Chiefs game. Bristol’s was recommended by our Airbnb host and it did not disappoint. We made reservations for 6 top and arrived 15 minutes early and we were seated promptly. Adam was our waiter and was amazing. He is the reason for a solid 5 stars. He made great recommendations for us, kept our drinks filled at all times and cleared our table quickly after we finished with a serving. We started with cauliflower, calamari and oysters for appetizers. All three were very good, but the cauliflower stole the show. It was so good. Secondly, 3 of us had Cesar salads and they were great. The dressing is made fresh daily and it makes all the difference. My husband ordered the bisque and he was nice enough to swap with me halfway through because I loved the bisque when I tried his. For entrees we had a variety of things off the menu. One member of our party had the Tuna and said it was exceptionally good. Another had the filet and crab cake and loved both. He commented on the crab cake being the best he has ever had. Another member had the KC strip and said the flavor was great, but the steak was on the tough side. Another member had the chicken, it was a large serving and was very flavorful and good. The potatoes were a standout on this dish. I had the sea bass and it was okay. I’ve had better, but it was still pretty good. I didn’t finish all of it. It was. Bite rubbery and I probably wouldn’t order it again if I went back. Our last member decided on the lobster Mac and cheese. It was good, but not a stand out. Lastly we had cream brûlée for dessert. We are a bit of hard judges when it comes to crème brûlée and we would give this a 7/10. It needed a bit more toasting on the top. Over all we had a great evening with great friends along with exceptional serves from Adam. We will definitely come back if ever in KC."
