The large selection of vegetarian options is so great. Service might have been considered slow, but allowed for uninterrupted conversation.

Excellent food. Nice ambiance. It did get pretty loud as more people filled tables. Server was friendly and efficient.
Kathi
The food was great. There were four of us and we shared everything, so we took advantage of the “three for” and “two for” offerings. It was a lot to keep track of and our server did a great job. BUT, It is really LOUD!

Busy afternoon, love the happy hour offerings.Tables a re very very close together. Lamb sliders and roasted beets were great.
Opentable Diner
Great service. Very attentive staff. But 2 pizzas with a drink each was still over $50 even on happy hour.

There is not a restaurant in the Des Moines metro that provides a better value than Eatery A, especially during their happy hour.

Food was wonderful, cocktails were spot on & dessert was amazing! Servers were friendly & knowledgeable. Venue was definitely packed, very busy weekend night. Enjoyed ourselves thoroughly

09/28/2024 Eatery A It had been a few years since we have been at Eatery A, mostly due to being new in the area and exploring new venues rather than repeating at a known location. Once again, we were extremely pleased with this stop as in the end, I gave it one of the few full 5* ratings that I have ever given. This place truly has it all - unique and tasty food, a great atmosphere, friendly service and value that is above average for the downtown! If you have the treat of being served by Vee - tell her 'Hi' from The Food and Drink Guy, as she is a gem!
Tonight, we celebrated my wife's Birthday - exploring the menu beyond the pizza's we had on previous visits to the other Mediterranean delights as recommended by our server, Vee. Tonight we truly shared everything - starting with the Two for Delicacies: Bacon Wrapped Dates & Meatballs (see pictures). We followed that up with a Three for $35 Skewer: Swordfish, Chicken Shawarma & Sirloin Tip (see picture). All of them were delicious and highly recommended, but our favorite was the Bacon Wrapped Dates!
Lastly, if you follow my posts, you know how hard it is for me to leave a restaurant without having some type of sweets. Tonight was no different, although it was free for my wife's Birthday. We opted for the Salted Caramel Budino (see picture) and while we have had it before - we truly relished every spoonful. It was sweet, rich and awesome - especially given the smaller portion size that didn't leave us feeling too guilty!
You will love a stop here for your next meal out...and if you want to sample a few things at a bargain price, they have one of the best true 1/2 price Happy Hours in the area!
July 2021 We stopped here for dinner on our anniversary based on an online rating and really liked it. It is very clean, modern and 'chic' (see pictures).
I highly recommend stopping between 3 and 6 to take advantage of the Happy Hour (we did). We sampled several beers and a delicious wood fire pizza (see pictures) - all at 1/2 price!
On the waitress' recommendation we ordered the #10 pizza (...meat & hot honey). As the name implied it was a perfect combination of pepperoni and spicy Italian sausage along with just a tinge of sweetness from the honey. It was just perfect for the 2 of us to share.
Lastly don't leave without trying one of the desserts. Again based on the waitress' recommendation we went with the Salted Caramel Budino (see picture). It wasn't quite what we expected but oh, it was so good! It was a delicious pudding/tapioca (chantilly cream) with some sprinkles of dark chocolate on the top and a dollop of salted caramel. Dessert Bliss!!
This is definitely a place you'll want to try!

Been here a few times and it’s always been great. The pizzas are always the best, especially #15. The servers has always been quick and friendly. Great spot to relax and talk with friends.

I ordered the #14 with no chorizo, added caramelized onions and jalapeños with vegan cheese. IT.WAS.AWESOME!!! The crust was the right amount or burnt. The moho sauce was superb. There was some confusion when I ordered the pizza for carry out and whether or not it was included in happy hour pricing, but the manager was respectful and nice and adjusted the price for me right away. Will definitely go back.

Appetizer arrived with main meal, after asking the server the status. drinks extremely slow in delivery. Lamb ‘sliders’ were the size of quarters and over cooked. Do not recommend
