It was very loud, steak over cooked, shoestring potatoes cold. My husband never got his salad. Not what you expect for the price.

Food as always was exceptional, Our server Brandon only visited table 3x once take orders, once to drop bread/salads, once to refill drinks. We were a table of 4 adults and were there 2 hours and 1 of maybe 4 tables. My daughters sprite was flat, he said he would get it fixed. Once he brought salads, we had to ask if they had that sprite fixed. It was literally a hour later.

Food is okay. Not great for the price or cooked to doneness as ordered. Menu not explained well. Keep in mind the water is not free. Be prepared for $7 a bottle without explanation prior. Family sides greatly vary in quantity. Lobster Mac n cheese is very poor. Slow awkward service. Overall highly disappointing. Would not recommend.

While the food was good, my order was wrong and I had to sit at my own birthday dinner while everyone else ate. My order was fixed eventually.

The overall ambiance of the restaurant is excellent. The staff was friendly, but the level of service was inadequate. Given that the restaurant was not busy (There were only three tables in our section), service was surprisingly slow and disappointing. Overall, our steaks were cooked as requested.

My favorite restaurant in Des Moines. The hospitality is top tier. They very welcoming and they go the extra mile to make sure their customers are comfortable and receiving great service. If there is an avoidable mess up on the restaurants end they always find a way to make up for it.
