Food and service were amazing. However, the host seated us right in front of what turned out to be a storage room. Employees were busy entering and exiting the room throughout our expensive and delicious dinner. At one point, a lady exiting, slammed the door. It was very distracting and made our meant to be romantic date night quite a bit less than. We did laugh about it later, but still. Not sure why the host chose to seat us there. There were other tables available. Had we known before we'd received our appetizer that we'd be guardians of the storage room, we would've asked for a different table. We muddled through. We will keep this in mind for future visits to Django.

I believe the manager that helped us with our reservation was named Jess. She. Was. PHENOMENAL! She had organized a proposal after our dinner. Out server, the cooks, the manager….everyone did such an amazing job at making it a beautiful night! The drinks were outstanding, the food was cooked perfectly, and I will definitely be back when I go to Des Moines again!

Attended George's steak bar special event. Complimentary cocktail was wine, ice, and coke mixed. Most of it was poured down the drain. Next time just give out a glass of cabernet. First course was Lobster Sundae. Amazing dish. Second was cauliflower soup, again amazing and rich. Steak Caesar salad was ok, tough meat, iceberg and sad pale tomatoes. Pretzel bread was great. Carpet Bagger steak was fork tender and oh so good. Lastly dessert was sticky toffee pudding. Cake was a little dry, but toppings were rich. Just needed a cup of coffee or tea to go with it. All in all a great evening. We would have bought a bottle of good red wine, but not much was offered.

We had Noelle H. as our server, she was absolutely incredible, made sure to come back an ample amount of time while also providing great conversation and service.
Aside from the great service, the food was phenomenal, could not recommend the Mac and Cheese more, please get it.
Great dessert too, just fantastic! Would recommend to anybody who can taste food!!!

Me and my group had the best experience at Django for a friend’s birthday dinner. We had poutine & oysters as appetizers, I had the beef bourguignon as my entree, and for dessert we shared the creme brûlée. I cant say enough how delicious the food was- it was a meal I’ll be thinking about for awhile. We also had lotsss of espresso martinis & as true connoisseurs of the cocktail (for better or worse) we all agreed it’s the best in the area. Our server (I believe her name was Loretta) was absolutely OUTSTANDING. We felt so well taken care of from start to finish.

I cannot speak highly enough of Django! We have had date night here twice and it is our favorite restaurant! Loretta was our server each time and she was awesome and attentive! The baked oysters couldn’t have been better! Chicken piccata out of this world and the best bread I’ve ever had! we are customers for life!
Went with my husband, our waitress was Loretta very adorable, the small plate of fruits de mer to share with my husband was very nice , beef filet Rossini was very good and the meat cooked very well and delicious, in France we use a tournedos with the grease around for the Rossini , the beef Bourguignon was very good and cooked like French brasserie in France and you have differents version of Beef Bourguignon as you have family in France, my mom put on a piece of dark chocolat at the end for the sauce and little bit more liquid sauce the meat cooked perfectly, the purée was like my mom she do and it was very comfy ! As a French and from Burgundy , thank you so much 🫶

We had the lobster roll with whipped potatoes and the happy hour oysters. Just delicious. Our server was attentive but not hovering. We were allowed to enjoy a leisurely meal with our friends without feeling rushed. This restaurant makes it all about their customers.

The steak frites came out juicy with a crisp edge, though the fries leaned a bit soft. Service was attentive and friendly, and the brasserie-style space kept the evening comfortable and unhurried.

We are visiting Des Moines and tried this restaurant during a special week where various restaurants are presenting special limited menu pairings as well as their regular menu. 2 people in our party had the special 4 course menu costing $70. The courses included a fried fish app, a sausage and lasagna course, veal entree and dessert. All courses were good. The other 2 people had oysters and large cocktail shrimps, escargot in their shells, a pasta with lobster and a beef short rib entree. All were very good. My 2 recommendations would be to not charge for a bread basket/service. I understand that $4 is not much but I paid $480 before tip for dinner, throw me a couple of rolls, please. Also, the first 2 courses were timed well but there was a long wait before the entree and we even had to ask when our dessert was coming. Other than these 2 points, the food and service was good and I recommend.
