The papas, the pizza, the salads, the dark chocolate mousse… you’d be doing yourself a disservice to not check this place out. They have a diverse yet intimate menu, and I’ll be ordering something new with full confidence that it’ll be as incredible as the last next time I visit. This establishment is one of the great examples of how Des Moines is becoming a real contender as a dining destination.
Thanks, Eatery A. That salted caramel budino made my night. Haven’t had a pudding that good since I last visited Sacramento.

Skip the coffee. It came half full and no cream or sugar. Pizza was good though.

Normally love this place! But they charged me for a nasty pizza that I ordered. It’s not my fault They have a disgusting item on the menu. Do not order the lamb and feta. Stick with the number two margarita and kale salad. Add chicken.
Service has been suffering lately. Best restaurant in town tho.

The place is a joke. Their “Happy Hour” is a terrible deal camouflaged as a good deal.
Happy Hour is ‘Half Price Wine Bottles! And Half Price Pizzas!’ BOLOGNA
Here is an example of their fudgery: On the regular wine menu they charge $63 for a bottle of Overstone Sauvignon Blanc……….. This is a $10.99 a bottle in stores. At Eatery’s ridiculously over clouted happy hour you get to pay $32 (half price! What deal!)
They also advertise 1/2 price pizzas at Happy Hour. Pizzas are usually $15.99. $10.99 at Happy Hour on your check ….the math isn’t mathing!!!
Plus they charge an automatic 20% tip without telling you. (Obviously they expect you won’t notice and will tip more. Usually we would, but the deception is gross.)
It’s just the most dishonest and shifty place I have ever visited. It does not belong in our community.
Adding some respectful comments based on the restaurant’s response to my original review (above):
1. I made no reference to tomato juice. But I can tell you a joke about tomatos: Three tomatoes are walking down the street: a poppa tomato, a momma tomato, and a little baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind. Poppa tomato gets angry, goes over to the baby tomato, and squishes him... and says, 'Ketchup!'
2. If you auto-add gratuity, the right thing to do as a server is to point it out. Simply having it in fine print on a menu and chalking that up as accountability is like charging someone an unannounced fee for returning a rental car with a napkin left on the seat. - a little silly, but you get the point, yes?
3. 19 bottles of wine available under $63 doesn’t really negate the fact that the mark up on alcohol is utterly exorbitant (~500%)
4. I laughed & loved the second to last comment “ we reduced the price outside of happy from $20+ to $14.99 and kept the happy hour price the same. We just did raise it a $1...you've cracked the code.” We did indeed crack the code. False advertising and fudgery, dollar by dollar.
But in the spirit of keeping it positive, it was 60 degrees in February today. We had a very nice drink & a snack outside at another restaurant, and it was reasonably priced!

Went for lunch while on business trip in Des Moines and had a delightful experience. Restaurant was clean, spacious, and aesthetically appealing. My server, Michaela was attentive, polite, and engaging.
The chicken shawarma entree was delicious, especially the toasted chick peas for the perfect crunch. Ordered an iced tea and was pleasantly surprised by both the tea and water quality. I would happily return or recommend.

Service was great. My only thing I had an issue with was the plating of the steak I ordered. It was cut up and on top of the potatoes mushrooms and Brussels sprouts on a tiny plate. It was weird, but still ok.
Stopped by with my wife to try something new. This place is amazing and we will be back again. Food was delicious especially the Lemon pancakes 😋🥞

This local favorite never disappoints. While the wide variety of vegetable options is always great, the pizza is also excellent and the Happy Hour pricing is an added bonus.
