    Came for the Valentines Day experience. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very nice. Our waitress was incredible and very considerate. At the start of the meal, she made sure we understood what all the menu items were what they came with and was just all in all very friendly. I definitely would recommend and will be visiting again.

    Bar Nico is by far and away my favorite restaurant in the Des Moines area. Chef Matt does such a great job changing up his menu seasonally. He does such a great job of blending texture, flavor, spice, all into one amazing dish and the drink selection is incredible and innovative just like the dishes. His staff is also absolutely amazing and very hospitable and professional. Bar Nico does all of this while being 100% gluten free! If you have celiac disease or a reaction to gluten this place is the place for you! I know from experience a lot of times gluten-free dishes don’t taste as good or close to what you may have had before my celiac diagnosis. However, as I mentioned before this restaurant does not cut any corners, and the food is as authentic as it can be! Again, recommend 10 out of 10 times! We have gone several times and are planning to go even more! Hats off to chef Matt and his staff!

    We had a great dinner on Valentines Day! It was the perfect mix of quiet, cozy, moody, relaxed with just a hint of fine dining and exactly what we were looking for. My husband had an old fashioned which he said was really good. I had the 5 option charcuterie spread and he had the hot honey wood fire pizza. Both were *chefs kiss*. We will definitely be back!

    This is our 2nd experience at Fresko. We chose it for Valentines Day because we could walk from our event hotel (Marriott). Upon being seated we were gifted a gorgeous valentine rose. We loved our meal choices and look forward to coming back to try more more menu items.

    We rather enjoy Firebirds. We celebrated my wife’s birthday. Their food is always good. Service good, for the day. Mondays they have half off selection wines which is nice. The prices are slightly high for my liking but apparently not high enough because we keep going back. It’s become a go to for us.
