“Amazing Happy Hour today for my Nephew's Birthday! Incredible food all on the $5 menu!! Can't rave enough about the food and service!! We will definitely be back!“

“We stopped for lunch today as all the “new eateries” were packed full. Delicious food, homemade and cozy. Yes it’s small but staff is quick to make you feel at home. Breakfast on the weekends only but will definitely be back for that. #eatlocal #hometowncafe“

“Love eating here and watching sports. Great food and lots of fun people.“

“What can I say that hasn't been already said. Amazing across the board. Service from Jules was outstanding. Each course was exceptionally well thought out presented in an artistic way. Yes, it's pricey but considering this is not the type of place most people dine at all of the time, it is more than well worth the amount.“

“We had our wedding dinner tonight at Harbinger. Low-key, just the two of us. We were treated with such kindness and respect from everyone, including the chef who made concessions to his tasting menu for my wife’s sugar issues. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. We visit Harbinger we are blown away by the quality of our dining experience.“

“My husband and I have eaten at Aura at least 5 times. We've also hosted group dinners there. The food is FANTASTIC, and the mussels are absolutely delicious. And I'm from the NW, I know delicious mussels! The ONLY thing keeping me from giving it a 5 STAR review is that the music is too loud, and it's monotonous. Please, serve quiet, enjoyable music to go along with your wonderful food.“

“A go-to cozy neighborhood staple that never disappoints. Amazing specialty cocktails, great juicy burgers and best salmon in town.“

“Yesterday I had lunch at Bar Louie and couldn't have better things to say! The food was amazing & the drinks were too! Chelsey made my whole day! She's such an awesome bartender with a personality to match. She is sunshine!“

Besides awesome food, the staff goes above and beyond!! Erica was our gal tonight She is a very attentive, Awesome server! Thank you Erica!! Keep up the Great Work!!“

“Always good! Super busy today, inside and out, but the food came out fast. Tables were all clean. Yummy.“

“Amazing food! I have tried so much food and have never been disappointed by La Familia. The quesabrilla tacos are to die for!!! Cold and refreshing beverages, hot food, clean atmosphere, friendly staff. You got to try it!“

“The fries are excellent although the last 2 times I went to B-Bop's the burgers seemed like they weren't cooked enough. Not pink but kinda soggy still. A good burger should have a bit of char a good example of this is at burger king. There was not enough sauce on the burger either. But definitely not a bad choice if you are hungry. If you have not tried the chocolate shake you're missing out. It's like what McDonald's used to have but a bit better even.“

“GIVE FRANCIS A RAISE!!!!!“

“Nick’s is always a win! If you’re there, you are family. The staff truly cares that your experience is spectacular. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is top-notch. Twice a month I meet up with a wonderful friend to sit at the bar, eat some snacks, and enjoy a bourbon or martini while she drinks wine. Even with the rarity of my visits, the bartenders treat me like a regular and work to get to know me. You cannot match the level of service! I typically stay for a short amount of time, eat while I’m there, and also take food home for my high school aged children. The to go food is always perfectly packaged and delicious even if it sits on the counter for a bit while we finish our conversation and settle bills. I cannot recommend Nick’s enough. I almost hate to post this review and ruin the truly beautiful experience.“

“Stopping for a couple days in Des Moines on the way west I was delighted to find such a great place. When I saw a local place that had gyros I knew I had to go. I was not disappointed. Far from it. Delicious food. Fast and friendly service. And the owner came out to meet my motopup Izzy. I know I'll be stopping here the next time I'm in Des Moines. Do yourself a favor and try it.“

“Had a business meeting here. Amazing atmosphere, extremely hospitable. Food was OUTSTANDING. Highly recommend; will come back with friends and family.“

“I wanted more food options, truth be told it was not what I expected I guess I was thinking more food court like and someone had told me food truck options but that was not the case which was NOT a problem at all.my husband and I both had brawtwurst and shares truffle fries, a drink and a bar beverage and is was $56. They were out of a few options on the menu, mainly seafood options, which I wanted shrimp.you order from the QR code on the tables or the kiosk when you enter.Nick which we believe was the manager was nice, approachable and appeared to be "not too good to work" he would grab something if we randomly asked as they were not busy for a Tuesday afternoon right after at.patricks day.Bathrooms were clean.Free refills on non alcoholic drinks.It would be a hug place to have a party.The distillery is separate from the food hall, I wasn't aware until I asked, I thought the distillary was were the drinks came from they are apparently two separate businesses.“

“Highly recommend! Very glad that we stopped here on our way through Iowa. Had a bunch of different appetizers (portobello fries, roasted Brussels sprouts, pretzels with beer cheese, pub salad) and beignets for dessert, all of which were delicious. They have a huge variety of beers, as well as some really tasty cocktails, and we enjoyed creating our own flights. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the bartender in particular was very knowledgeable about all the different breweries, styles and particular beers. The space was clean and comfortable. It would be the perfect place to host a party. Wish we had this place in our city!“

“The floral shop!! So impressed today on how they have it set-up and decorated for Valentines Day. Someone is real creative and they show so many good ideas for Valentine’s. Talked with Lory, so sweet and very helpful even as busy as she was.“

“I've been here before, but gotta admit, it was several years ago! I should have come here more often!! A friend (a regular here) and I split a Monte Cristo sandwich--my first one ever!! And I would definitely order that again. We also shared some dumplings and eggrolls!! Everything was delicious!! I'll be back soon!!“

“The gentleman working was awesome! My 4yr old wanted to order her own food which (of course) meant my 2 year old needed to order his own as well and he was great about it. Very patient and directed all questions to the appropriate party while checking (covertly) for approval before fulfilling any part. When she saw the letters on the lid my daughter asked if that was her name and he said "oops how could i have forgot the most important part?" And she happily provided it so it could say her name. Another customer walked up in the middle of all of this and i told him he was welcome to help them first but he just smiled and shook his head and continued the conversation with my kids (another associate did come help the other person). I know sometimes its a pain when kids start exerting their independence and it can be very frustrating at times but to those that take the time to encourage it and assist with development I say thank you. The sense of accomplishment it gave them to do something as simple as ordering their own food is still fondly remembered over a week later (forever in their lifetime) lol“
