“One of our favorite places in the DSM metro!!! Excellent food, top notch cocktails, high end atmosphere, and the staff is professional and friendly. Wish I had a 6th star! Always make a reservation, it can be hit or miss with availability.“
“Gotta give a shout out to my friends at El Rodeo in Clive. Been going to this restaurant for years and they never disappoint. The staff is amazing and the food/margaritas are excellent! Great atmosphere and love their outdoor patio when the weather is nice. Keep up the great job, El Rodeo.“

“Thank you Carlos and everyone from Toreados! I finished everything and I'm already full ? The service is very excellent and everyone is very friendly ? They didn't have Apple Pay but they will accept card numbers that still work to pay! I hope this review makes a difference and compensates for my loss!“
“‼️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️ 6/5 STARS⭐️Atmosphere = beautiful calming color scheme w/ details that catch your eye!⭐️Service = from the host to bartender & all 4 servers who waited on us. . . Over the top! Kara, our main server was warm, friendly yet professional! Love they all work as a team!⭐️Tableware = flatware removed that was not needed, unique serving pieces & fine glassware.⭐️Food Choices = nice variety w/o being "look at us doing something crazy different!" Bone marrow app was unique & delicious-accommodating to gf need for the bread.⭐️Presentation = excellent colors & perfectly plated-good eye to a clean outer plate rim in my book!⭐️Taste = everything from the mulberry sour cocktail to the flourless chocolate cake and everything in between was a hit out of the park. I'm partial to lemon & parmesan so I would have added that to the veggies that came with the chicken but was not a necessity.Cannot wait to return-thank you for bringing stellar customer service back in style with superb food as well!“
“Amazing place!!! We go there every year for my birthday and every year is amazing. I get the mac n cheese and sometimes steak. Both amazing. The service is like a 10 star. Also amazing! The place is very beautiful and detailed. Amazing place!!!!!“
“Everything was phenomenal from beginning to end! The waitstaff was attentive but not overbearing, and our waiter in particular was so friendly and recommended the crab stuffed walleye, which was to die for! The environment was classy and intimate, yet casual enough that it felt comfortable and warm. The best part of the meal was the appetizer- the seared ahi tuna is too good for words, just trust me on this and order it! This was a great place to visit for my birthday dinner, and we definitely plan on being back.“
“Went to 801 Chophouse on our Anniversary. Our tables was full of hearts, reserved and ready as we arrived early. Everything we ordered was the perfect temperature and the flavor was was worth every penny though we didn't find it overly expensive at all. A definite must try.Parking: It was Sunday so so free stree parking.“

“I dined at Trostel's Greenbriar to attend a seminar on February 28, 2024. We all were served the same items. The large mixed greens salad with their homemade buttermilk ranch dressing with tasty bread was a wonderful start. Then came a center cut New York Strip steak, a whopping 16 oz (!), and a hefty sized perfectly baked potato with butter and sour cream. I asked for a very, very, very, very rare steak and that's exactly what I got! I was in Heaven!! For dessert, we were served an oversized wedge of cheesecake, which was 3-1/2" - 4" high, with ample strawberries and sauce. It was to die for!Our servers, Cheyenne and Meredith, were very efficient, attentive and friendly during my whole time there. I commend them wholeheartedly!! I would definitely like to try more menu items at this establishment!I usually take pictures of my dishes when I dine. However, I simply forgot this time until I got my dessert.“
“Arrived at 4:30, ordered a beer and a Moscow mule, they came very quickly, ordered our food and within 5 minutes it was on the table, hot and ready to eat. We had the full lobster boil meal. Decided to try the key lime pie for dessert and it was incredible. The entire experience from beginning to end was great. This was the University location.“
“have been going to Jesse's Ember's for 40+ years. Tonight, showed up at 7:30 PM ordered traditional ribs, which were moist and very tasty at the late hour. We eat out a lot in Des Moines, and these are definitely the best ribs in Des Moines.“
“Our sever Omar was fast, friendly and amazing! Fajitas Mariachi were wonderful! My girlfriend said the Carne Asada tacos are the best she ever had. Chips and salsa were very good. The margaritas were decent. Great experience, we'll definitely be back soon!“
“Went for a quick lunch and walked away unsatisfied. Immediately thrown off by the lack of a lunch menu & the high prices. The Staff were friendly & attentive making the ordering & delivery of food quick. Due to high prices I shared an appetizer w/a friend & found the quantity & quality quite disappointing. To sum up my experience I would say the place & staff were great, food was mediocre and prices were far too high. So I don't plan on revisiting nor do I recommend visiting.“
“Food is delicious, the margaritas not so good for Wednesdays Margaritas night? they are weak and tasteless but the food is so scrumptious!!!!!I just ordered online and forgot to order beans and as a one time courtesy they are sending some! I appreciate that because that is all my daughter will eat!Update Baria tacos ? were very dry today and fatty! Kind of a waste of money! Unfortunately probably will never order from here again. ?“
“First off, Phillip was an amazing employee. Took my reservation over the phone. Polite and accommodating. Then took my son and my order and attended to us regularly. The mushroom appetizer was delicious. I had sea bass which was great and took a bite of my son’s ribeye and it was perfect. I can’t wait to go back.“
“Every year our worship team (12-14 ppl) has their Christmas appreciation dinner here. Phenomenal food and great service every single time! So many great entrees and we’ve tried many items on the menu. We are well taken care of, excellent food and price. Meg and the staff are wonderful!“
“This is my go-to mexi spot. Chicken fajitas are always on point. More often than not I stroll in, place a to-go order, and it's ready within a few minutes. Great portions, and a nice size bag of chips and salsa also included. The meat is never dry/overcooked and has great flavor.“
“Welcomed as soon as we arrived. I ordered a margarita as I looked over the menu. Decided to have a taco salad with beef. I asked for no refried beans and it came as ordered. Homemade shell and plenty of toppings will have me going back soon.“
“My husband and I had a fabulous dinner at Noah's tonight! We split the anti-pasto for two for our appetizer. I had the fried shrimp, baked potato, and dinner salad. My husband had the ravioli and dinner salad. For dessert we split a cannoli which the kitchen baked for us. It was soo good! Everything was perfectly prepared. Our server Denny was so nice and kept our food coming at the right time. If you haven't tried Noah's Ark, you should!“
“Great place overall. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and professional. Live jazz was performed as part of the Wednesday night schedule, which created a fantastic atmosphere for dinner. The food was served hot and fresh and was plated well. The crab cakes were delicious.“
“Let's start with the chips and salsa. Better than average chips with excellent salsa. Meni items had very large portions. Our group of four enjoyed their meals. The highlight was the Pollo Delight. Pressed chicken breast cooked in a tangy sauce with shrimp and pineapple. The mexican coleslaw that came with it was great. The low spot for me was the chicken in the chimichanga. Although there was more chicken than I could eat, it seemed to be fresh out of a can. No real chicken cooked in sauce.“
“I was very impressed!!! I really enjoyed the privacy curtains. The food was very good cooked perfectly! the service was perfect as well very polite and checked in frequently to be sure everything was good and we had everything we needed. I will be back and recommend to all my friends! If I had 1 complaint I guess I'd say the prices but in reality you get what you pay for all around here. It's worth it to me! I do not recommend this as a restaurant for kids. ☆☆☆☆☆“
“Went tonight for dinner and had a great time. There was a little bit of a wait, so we decided to sit at the bar. Our bartender was the best part of the night. Her name was Alliane and she was awesome. Not only did she do great waiting on us, she was constantly helping the new employees and giving them tips on how to be the best server. She also introduced some new drinks to us that were delicious. (not sure what it was called but tasted like a dum-dum sucker.) And of course food was phenomenal! Can't wait to come back.“
“Had an amazing experience in the Des Moines location today. Every employee was kind and had a smile, those I spoke with were engaging in the conversation and truly had warm energy which spoke volumes of the culture in the location. I was very impressed by the manager Zach. It is clear that things are run well in the restaurant and it's refreshing to see.“
“First time dining here. Definitely glad I had made a reservation. There was a line of people who were walk-ins. The waiter we had was extremely courteous and very knowledgeable. Every suggestion he made was very delicious. Definitely going to make plans to go back.“
“We order take out and was perfectly amazing. Best calamari EVER! I had the glazed almond spinach salad and my husband had the spicy seafood linguini. The best ever! They sent bread home with us also - so fresh and delish. We will be back - soon!“
