Restaurants in der Nähe von Sargent Park

Too loud and being seated next to the door and being blasted with cold air everytime the door was opened was no fun. Most likely not coming back.

The calamari and shrimp appetizer was a delightful surprise of flavors and prepared well. 8 oz filet steak was perfectly cooked, tender and richly flavorful. Nice Malbec to match. Service ensured we were attended to regularly and took time to spare some fun to share a bit about the restaurant history and the foods.

AJ’s definitely has the freshest salads in town. I definitely recommend the 8oz Filet minion cooked medium rare,

Alba consistently delivers a high quality dining experience. Des Moines best restaurant in my book. Really excellent food! The only thing I don’t love is all the hard surfaces makes it loud when it’s busy.

Food and cocktails (which are never cloyingly over-sweet as is common in DSM) are consistently well-balanced and excellent in every respect. My lovely dining companion, an amazing cook in her own right, loves it here, and trust me, that is a very high bar. Only demerit in my opinion is the loud Manhattan-esque techno music that makes it hard to hear people. The younger and less curmudgeonly might love that , though. We will go back.
