In the event that you enjoy abysmal service and long waits only to eventually indulge in mediocre food, this is the place for you.Our reservation started at 8pm, and after finally being seated at about 8:20, we waited until 8:50 to put a drink order in, and 9:10 to put in a food order. The waiter was rude and combative, the managers stand in the corner on their phones and refuse to help the wait staff at peak times, and there’s almost no reason it should take 35 minutes to get a glass of white wine.All in all, it’s a hotel restaurant so I shouldn’t have expected much, but I think for the prices we deserved better than getting yelled at by a waiter who lived up to his title; cause we sure spent a lot of time waiting.

Olivia was our server. Although being out of a couple things we ordered, she was apologetic and very helpful with alternatives. Our food was great and our service impeccable.

Had a NY Strip steak with broccoli and cheese mashed potatoes. The steak was pretty mediocre, tough and not seasoned at all even at medium rare, which it was cooked well. Not a great cut of a steak it seems, disappointing considering the $32 asking price. Veggie and potatoes were all great, broccoli was perfectly cooked but the potatoes were the star.Staff is great, friendly, receptive and made you feel welcomed. Overall enjoy the look and feel of the place.

If you're looking for a picturesque view, this is the perfect spot for you. With good drinks, excellent service, and tasty food, it's a definite recommendation.

We originally bought tickets for the dueling pianos on a Friday night. We decided to make reservations and have dinner there. We started with the shrimp cakes and duck wontons. We also got a bourbon flight to try 4 different bourbons. We got the bone in Iowa chop with brussels and mash. We finished with the creme brulee and drinks. The shrimp cakes were good with a sweet chili sauce. The duck wontons were fantastic and awesome. I would order these any time, every time. The bourbon flight was not for me, not a bourbon person apparently. The main course was excellent. The Brussels were crispy and tasty. The mash was smooth and flavorful. It was a great compliment to the thick and juicy Iowa chop. The creme brulee was good and the drinks were decent. The shrimp cakes were good however I would rather order the duck wontons. The main course was fantastic and I would definitely order this again. The creme brulee was good, pretty standard brulee. The drinks were ok. I probably wouldn't order drinks, other than wine or beer, here as they are small and pretty pricey. The waiter was good though he did drop off towards the end and my drink order got list whether he forgot or the bar didn't do it but he did blame it on the bar. Overall, the food was excellent and worth the trip. I would say give it a try for good m, not so much the drinks.

We waited and tried to go up to the elevator from 4 pm till around 4.30 pm, but it was absolutely worth it. We loved the food, they were very tasty. Although we fall in love with the drinks... They were beyond praise ?? I would love to go back to visit this place again if I have a chance to travel Iowa again.

4.3 is WAYYYYY too low. Amazing views and food. Come on people, what more do you want?

I wish I could say I liked this place. During dinner, the food takes forever and is way overpriced. I recommend coming early or for lunch.

Server was a joke. Was sat at a table with wobbly chairs and the table was sticky. Food was sub par. Your paying for the view and that wasn’t as great either.
