10/10. This place nailed it. Had the double smash burger upgraded the fries. The burger was everything you'd ever want from a burger. Way better than Zombie burger and for me a step above Lucilles. The atmosphere reminds me of a quiet cafe off of the French Quarter in New Orleans. Just a quiet laid back no hurry vibe. Will definitely be returning.

Nothing special
Stopped in for drinks and sat at the bar—great experience! I absolutely loved the watermelon cocktails; they might just be my new favorite. The atmosphere is small but really nice, with a cozy and stylish vibe. It's definitely my new go-to drink spot!

We just came in for a couple of cocktails so I can't comment on the food but we had a wonderful time. We sat at the bar. I did not catch the bartender's name but they were perfectly attentive while also leaving us to have a chat. The vibe was fantastic! I love Brigitte Bardot!

It was Latin dance night when I went. Full floor so a bit cramped but fun! Drinks were a bit pricey but good. Great ambiance!

Kevin was amazing. We had a party of 15 for a birthday party. Kevin and the crew accommodated our group and took very good care of us! Food was great! I had a chicken sandwich with side salad it was very delicious. The queso was very good. Drinks were amazing. He even made a specialty drink just for the birthday girl!!! I highly recommend the continental!

We stopped here for drinks and live jazz. Both were fantastic. We didn't try the food, but will the next time we are in town.
The best part was the bartender. She was so fun, attentive and despite working a very long day, made our evening memorable in the best way possible. We're glad we crossed the river to come here.
We'll be back the next time we're in Des Moines for sure!

As a stranger in a strange land I felt welcomed the minute I walked in. Kevin was wonderfully accommodating and told about the place and the grand designs for its future. The Bleu Cheese crostini was out of this world delicious, and I'll be back for more of the vibe, food, and company. Places like this make me wish I lived in DSM ?
Vegetarian options: Definitely not just fried potatoes here ??
Dietary restrictions: They take great care trying to accommodate most dietary restrictions.
