Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota
Start New ThreadThis place was recently featured on FN's Restaurant:Impossible series. Looks like they did a nice makeover, and, unlike some of the other shows, this owner seems likeable.
Anyone know how they are doing after the makeover?

I have not eaten at this place, so I have no dog in this fight, but this link from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's restaurant forum may give more info.

Thanks, but the board on the link you provided has absolutely NO info re/ how the restaurant is now faring after the makeover. I don't know if you read the posts...

Sure. I read it often. The most recent note is today. Just thought you'd like some background. More news as it becomes available.

The latest post is about the airport congestion. I was hoping for a report on how the restaurant is succeeding (or not) after one of these FN makeovers...

I really do understand what you're saying. There is one report on that board about the place since hte makeover, but it's pretty general or I would have given you the link to the new thread. I drop by fairly often - the board, not the restaurant - and if I see anything more than what you don't want, I'll give a heads up.

Here it is: A link to their "yelp" page with the inside scoop (ravioli, mignon, tomato soup, etc. receiving high praise; lasagna and service have been criticized). Anyway, I believe this is what you are looking for:

I guess Yelp has more action than CH in these parts...

Haha looks that way, merton! Yelp covers every business category though - as opposed to CH which is food, drink only. Thus, mathematically it stands to reason they outrank us.... but by how much I have no idea. Hmm, now you've got me going - wonder what the actual traffic stats are - anyone?

Had lunch at Meglio's today. Very very satisfied.
Excellent tomato basil soup. A hearty fettucine alfredo. Both for 8 bucks.
Some interesting items on the dinner menu, including a white pizza, which I have only seen on menus in Albany, New York.
