Finally a restaurant in South Johnson County that doesnt present itself as better than the people it is serving. My wife and another couple heard about the gaslight grill from some friends of ours who had been there and let me tell you it is the perfect combination of great food, great atmosphere and great music. This is the old plaza lll location and in only there 6th week of being open it already blows away what they were doing there. This is not just another plaza lll venture, it has a completely different owner and they restaffed the entire restaurant from a new chef (from Britian I believe) and entire new management team. We met the owner as he was walking around and introducing himself to everyone. From the minute we walked in the door they made us feel very welcome and the staff took great care of us all night long. We ate dinner in their main dining room and then moved back to The Back Room where there was live jazz to finish our night out with a couple of cocktails. Johnson County has needed a place like this for so long. Thank You Gaslight Grill.

The servers were all standing around in the bar watching tv when we walked in, the employees at the front door were more interested in talking to one another than us.

There was a cheesy ‘band’ in the back playing a bunch of old music, with a GUY playing a clarinet. We sat in the bar and laughed while a bunch of blue hairs hobbled in and out of the room with the band; the place was almost deserted by 8pm.

Some old man was walking around introducing himself as the owner, and we heard him say the same thing to EVERYONE he talked to; it was creepy.

One of the chef’s (?) came out of the kitchen and stood at the front door, only to further distract the girls working up there. The food (once they got the right stuff to us, after bringing us someone elses food; and then having to figure out who had what) was a joke, the way it looked on the plate reminded me of something i would get at a wedding, too much weird stuff. Apparently it was a brand new menu and the bartender fully admitted he had no idea what the half of the stuff was, and could unfortunately offer no help in us making a decision. We didn’t ask, we just assumed.

I’m not sure if there was even a manager on duty, the inmates were clearly running the disorganized asylum. if you want to be entertained by the shock of this place even being called a restaurant; by all means, go and enjoy the show. Otherwise, stay far away.
