Reviews
"This is a favorite! Food is excellent and atmosphere is high end yet relaxing. Definitely recommend the cocktails and escargot."
"Service was weird. Maybe because the waiter thought we were only doing drinks/appetizers, they treated us worse? Before ordering the “expensive” food, we were largely ignored and treated like burdens. But immediately after ordering entrees, service did a 180. Doesn’t feel great when restaurants do that. That being said, the food was delicious. The ratatouille is a MUST (I’m still thinking about it days later). But beware of ordering the scotch sampler. I posted a picture of how much liquor they actually give you—this was BEFORE drinking any! For $40! We were all baffled."
"only going to the (very clean) toilets do you get the name of the place....as there's a cool but hidden Django Reinhardt hall of fame on the way to the washroom!! back to the food, it was delicious! I ate "light" and had a very tasty (and massive!!!) Croque madame others had very delicious filet steaks and fruits de mer wine and beer selection was excellent and the service was ultra snappy!"
"Oh boy, this was insanely great food and trust me, you need to try it!! Higher end atmosphere but don't let that scare you away, plenty of people in shorts and t-shirts so whatever your mood, this place will work for you. Diverse menu with something for any palate. We shared the brussel sprouts and if you eat nothing else here, get these...WOW!!! give these guys a shot right now!"
"My burgundy sauce was almost like a hardening Carmel, really tacky. Not sure if that’s right. I was not super impressed by that. I was impressed with the unique items that aren’t usually around Des Moines, like escargot and oysters. The atmosphere is like copper cop and Edison light bulb. My service was rude to us for not eating quick enough and splitting a reservations/party’s bill, but would you really expect different from 17 young adults? I would eat here again anyhow."
