My impression is that this place is closed long term or permanently. I had planned to try it based on other reviews last Saturday, but it was totally dark. So I dined next door, where the server said that the place hasn't been open since a few weeks ago. I always enjoy a fresh take such as this might have been, but no luck this time!

We were blown away by this place! The food is amazing, chef comes out and talks to you personally! You really get white glove service! You have to give this a try!

We ordered their signature dish which included Mussels. I don’t know how they cooked it but there were broken shells all over our dish so we would either have to pick them out or accidentally eat them which was a real treat. We also ordered a Moscow mule that didn’t come in a copper cup nor taste like a Moscow mule.

I really enjoyed this place! Bistro Nomad has a unique flavor and menu for the Des Moines area. This is a great place to get seafood and craft cocktails.

Amazing. Ordered a cheese and charcuterie board, and the seafood paella. If the board wasn't so delicious, I wish I would have skipped it to save room for the paella. It was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor.

This new addition to the Western Gateway neighborhood is a big plus. Though our service was a bit slow this time, the food was worth waiting for. We opted for the priz fixe and the hummus was of perfect grain, pita soft and the olives prepitted. The cucumbers had a light and flavorful dressing. The entree was well proportioned and and delicious. The accompanying drink was a generous sangria. The creme brulee dessert may have sat a few min too long yet retained structure and flavor. I'll definitely be back

Food was amazing, sangria flight, burrata appetizer, lamb shoulder and a nice after dinner drink. Our server Matt was just lovely. Definitely going back!

Excellent. I cannot say enough good things about this establishment. Impeccable service, food, and drinks. Beautiful atmosphere. You get everything you pay for. Every throes Sunday of the month they have music and an open dance floor. Perfect for a date night or to take out-of-towners if you want to impress them.
