Best Cozy Restaurants in Ankeny

If you want the excellent unique food with a great drink and wine menu, this is it. Service was great, but remember you are getting what you are paying for. Highly recommend if you want to impress family and friends.

We drive every year from Iowa City to 801 for our anniversary dinner. No better place to celebrate! Best food atmosphere and service!

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.

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.

Enjoyed a work lunch. Meal was good. Was told by teammates who had the shrimp and grits the grits weren’t very flavorful but overall, we had a good experience and would return again.
