O'Donoghue's Steaks and Sea Food

This place is a gem. Totally worth going to. Everything from the food, to the building and staff is incredible. Me and my husband are from out of town and are always excited to make the stop in Jeff City before going down to the Lake of the Ozarks to enjoy this amazing restaurant!

We called and checked timing of service as we had somewhere to be at 745. We were told timing is an hour to an hour and half for a 2 person table. Perfect. Made our reservation at 615. Showed up at 6 and were promptly seated.

Server came over. I asked specific questions about a couple appetizers and he skirted the answer by saying its really good, or listing meat as an ingredient. What meat? We made our orders by 6:07. They were busy. Which is okay. I understand. App came out, and the herb bread appetizer was amazing. And the server let us know he was going to wait to put the food until after the appetizer got there. Perfect works for me. Appetizer got there at 615. And salads wete out by 625 the honey jalepeno dressing is awesome too. But salads were gone by 630. Then we waited 35 min. We either needed to go get food somewhere else or needed our food then. So i said something.

At this point we had noticed that there were 2 servers foe 15 tables. Okay i get it. Maybe short staffed because a server called out (at least i hope so). But our server went to get the manager. And it was the other server. The "manager" came over and asked how long it had been since we placed our order. Our server cut in and said 15 minutes. If it had then he forgot to place our order. If so say tell me. Dont lie about it. We had been sitting for an hour since our order was placed. They ran to get our food out. And dropped the ticket half off but didnt even talk to us. Just rushed around.

My wifes steak was over done. And they forgot the extra brocolli we ordered. Didnt have time to get it corrected. Food may have been better had we not waited so long.

Table behind us sat when we got our salad and and got their food 2 minutes after they rushed ours out.

Good thing we were 1 time visitors to jefferson city and dont have to make a choice about where to eat here agai .

Celebrated my cousin's birthday last evening and the meal was just wonderful. She had batter fried lobster and I had broiled and both were excellent. Johnny, our server, was the best. Food, service and atmosphere were all awesome. Will return soon and would highly recommend.

My birthday dinner with some of the girl gang! Food was wonderful, atmosphere also!

This was overall a great find.Inside the building was very nice.The food was excellent, and the flat bread appetizer was fantastic. The jalapeño dressing was different on the salad, but in a good way, it was just the right amount of flavor from the jalapeño but not too hot and over powering.Our entrees (Filet and Salmon) were good sized portions and cooked perfectly.The service was great service... but only 2 waiters for the entire seating area, they were just really busy for the 10 or 12 tables in the place.But it's definitely a return trip in the future!

Great food and even better service

Excellent food & service! Even though it appeared they were short staffed we had great service. Highly recommend the key lime martini if you like fruity, sweet cocktails. It was so good! We had the crab cake appetizer, filets, & deep fried lobster. All was cooked perfect & tasty. This local restaurant is a gem & we will be back!

Located in an awesome old building close to the capital. Nice job of remodeling and keeping the old character of the building. Atmosphere is nice and cozy. The food and service was excellent. Prices were not exorbitant either. Will definitely return when we are in Jefferson City.

Beautiful evening to sit on the patio. Excellent attentive service. I love blue cheese and salmon but was unsure of having them together in the dish but the flavors melted together and tasted magnificent. Pear cosmopolitan was so good too! A hidden gem in Jeff city you don't want to miss out on!
