Pig Finch Gastropub - Leawood

I'm 72 and, over the years, I have literally eaten 1000's of restaurant meals but I don't recall having the experience Pig Finch gave me. I ordered the Ahi Tuna cooked rare. Ahi Tuna should be prepared with sashimi grade tuna and should be eaten cooked no more than rare. The meal was cooked perfectly. Less than an hour after eating this meal I experienced explosive diarrhea. I was leery that the cause could have been the restaurant since the effect happened so quickly after my meal. I Googled food poisoning and called the 800 number. A member of KU Med answered, and I described my symptoms and told her what I had eaten. I also asked if it was possible to have the effects I experienced so soon after ingesting the tainted food. She told me it can happed sooner than what I experienced and that it was undoubtedly the seafood I had eaten. She said tainted seafood, in particular, will produce the effect. I called Pig Finch to report what had happened so they would not serve the tainted seafood to anyone else. The manager I spoke to was sympathetic. She had all my contact info since I had made a reservation for dinner. She asked if she should create an incident report and I said the should. She verified all my information and said someone would be in contact with me the following week. Well, It's been nearly 2 weeks since the incident occurred and I have not been contacted. In the meantime, they hit my credit card for the full amount. I would have thought, since the attempted to poison me, they would have comp'd my portion of the meal. Don't eat a meal in this restaurant! It's obvious they do not care for the food they serve and when they poison someone, they don't do the right thing.

Really yummy. Really fancy, high quality food!! The only thing is that they are pretty expensive.. it's was around 215.00 for 3 people that shared an appetizer, had their own meal and drinks.

Great food and service . The chicken salad was fabulous and the crispy Brussels sprouts were delicious . Crab dip is very very good .

The crab dip, fries and pork shoulder are all 5 star dishes, but the service is what seals it! We never had to look for anything, we weren't rushed but never waited for much. I'm surprised I hadn't been before but loved going with other people so I could also enjoy the lobster fried rice and scallops!

Listen, if you haven't tried the duck dumplings, do yourself a favor go now. Also, the shrimp vadouvan on the HH (and regular) menu makes my mouth water. Service is efficient and they have a lovely outdoor dining area, too!
