Urban Cellar - Wine Bar, Grille, And Market

"Had dinner with a coworker here and I can't say enough good things about it. The atmosphere was great, the service was fast and attentive, and the food....we had the Mama's meatballs and Margherita pizza, and OMG they were both fantastic. We were there for happy hour and our food was half price with a decent selection of other half price items. I may have to get an order of those meatballs to go before next week when I head back to MD. Highly recommend this restaurant!!!! Lol, yes I took a bit of the meatballs before I took the picture. And my friend really enjoyed the house wine, said it was very good. She had the house red."

"Great happy hour. We both had old fashioned's and they were nice and sweet. For apps we got the fried zucchini and Margherita pizza. Tried the candy bar pie and some wine too. I would love to come back on a Monday for their sixty dollar couples special!"

"The atmosphere of this restaurant was great. They had an amazing wine selection to take away or drink there. A fireplace and can accommodate large groups. While the main course and appetizers were fabulous, dessert was nothing to brag about. Definitely skip. Service was good, she was new and serving a big group."

"We had a very good experience at Urban Cellar! Our server recommended the Mulberry Mule which was excellent! Our meals were very good but the wife did feel there was a lot of skins in the mashed potatoes. The chocolate cake for dessert was delectable. Our server could have been a bit more attentive as it took her a really long time to finally get our bill out to us after we were finished eating but in the grand scheme of things that was pretty minor. This was a great place for the wife & I to have a nice date night."

"We stopped by the cellar for the first time recently. This is a gem hidden in an unassuming strip mall. Great ambiance that mixes casual with formal. Very welcoming folks and good service. We didn’t have any wine, but they certainly have the selection for it. We ordered the fried zucchini since most places don’t carry them. The presentation was awesome and the taste even better. I am a nacho fan and ordered their nachos. Nachos can be bland and a lot of places load up on sauce instead of meat. Not these guys! I had so much shrimp on mine and it tasted really great. The salmon BLT was fantastic. The aioli was tangy and spice and a complement to the salty bacon and well seasoned salmon. Sweet potatoes fries came with honey for dipping!!! So so good. We’ll be back for sure. If you’re looking for a nice place to go in West Des Moines, this is a great spot."
