    Our Customers Say It Best

    • “This is arguably the best restaurant in Des Moines!! The food was exceptional. We were in awe of every dish, they take all your favorites to a new level with design and flavor creativity. Our server Alysa was exceptional and timed every course perfectly. I will pass the word every chance I get that this is a destination not to be missed.” 

      Michele, OpenTable

    • “This is easily the best restaurant in Des Moines with the best service and open wood fire kitchen. The pairings are great classical with an innovative twist. I wish I didn't have to go downtown. But it is better than driving to Ames. Give him a James Beard already!”

      Jamie, Tripadvisor

    • “What an excellent place! Really special food, especially the beef filet and pork filet. Gretchen was an excellent server and all the other associates were very friendly. I would recommend that a place of this caliber use tablecloths as the marble is quite cold. That’s a nit. Highly recommended."
