Restaurants in Downtown Des Moines

Delicious food, excellent service and staff, and a beautiful atmosphere. My only wish is that there were more dessert options with less nut ingredients (for those who can’t have them; this made the dessert menu very limited). But the appetizers, dinner, drinks, environment, and superb customer service still made the dining experience 5 stars!

Food was excellent. Appreciated that we were offered smaller portions (at a reduced price). Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Made every effort to assure us a pleasant dining experience. Definitely recommend for a special night out.

We enjoyed the upscale ambience of the new stuffed olive. The food is as good as ever and the service excellent. It’s quiet so you can talk without any difficulty. I like all the different seating choices. 

My only disappointment tonight was that I had asked through OpenTable specifically that we be located as close to the front door as possible since my dinner companion had difficulty walking with a cane. So instead, we were seated on the opposite end of the restaurant other than that it was absolutely the great food I have experienced before, and the service second to none.

Great food and excellent service! That harvest bowl is amazing and my husband thought the dill pickle chips we ordered for an appetizer were the best he's ever had!
