I know why they are closing. I don't mind paying $45 for 5 scallops with lobster pomme and asparagus, but when service is not on point, it's hard to choke down no matter how good the food is. Had to get up and ask our server for a water refill after it'd been 20 mins since I had first asked. She had 3 other tables in our area and a 2 top seated after us had ordered and finished before we got our food. I try to be a 30% tipper when service warrants it. I still left around 15%, though it was not deserved imo. As someone who's waited tables before, it's unfortunate that for whatever reason, we received subpar service and probably would have had dessert and coffee had we not been afraid it would have added another hour to our table time. There's a lot of competition in Des Moines and my money will be better spent elsewhere.

Absolutely phenomenal! Everything we had, from the baked oysters to the pot de creme, was incredibly delicious. I appreciated we didn't feel rushed in our dining experience. A wonderful night out.

Eric is the best server ever and they always give the best dining experience possible by being so helpful and attentive. We will spend every anniversary and Valentine's Day at Django because of the amazing service.

Took my wife for dinner NYE. Food is amazing (duck frites, escargot, and scallops) Would be nice to have the option to sit at the bar and order a cocktail while waiting for a table, but great experience overall!

I don't get a lot of opportunities to eat at an actually fancy restaurant but this was it. Finally an excuse to really dress up. Would be a good place to propose.

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.
