Awesome place for trivia even though I never win. Still fun! Great food and really good specialty cocktails. Bit expensive, so can't craall out, but great one in a while.
Vegetarian options: Mostly salads where you can ask for no meats, with maybe some other options. No idea about vegan options.
Parking: Parking garage a block down.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator to the den.
Recommended dishes: Lobster Mac, Shrimp Cocktail, The Burch Burger

My lobster Mac was good. My husband ordered a New York strip steak, and I don’t know what he had delivered to the table but it was not a NYStrip steak. (Speaking as a couple who grills them from a local butcher shop a couple times a month). The texture and flavor of his meat was very bland. Sorry I didn’t think to take a photo. Service from our second waiter was awesome. The first waiter was a bit unfamiliar with the wine list, and they tag teamed for our table.

If you’re looking for some fresh, delicious oysters in Iowa, you’ve got to check out St. Burch’s Tavern. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and quickly seated. There were a lot of great options for dinner, but I decided to go with the oysters since it was a happy hour special. I tried three different oysters - the Rappahannock from Virginia, the Big Rock from Massachusetts, and the Fanny Bay from British Columbia. Each one was unique and had its own special flavor. The Rappahannock was the best of the three, hands down! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back for more.
My husband and I celebrate all our special occasions here. We discovered this place on a Valentine’s Day, had our rehearsal dinner here last year, and came back tonight for our first wedding anniversary. We love the atmosphere of the Den. Service is always super friendly and the food is spectacular. Brunch is always excellent—we bring our parents here when they come visit! Definitely don’t miss out on this special place.

If you’re looking for oysters in Iowa City, this is the place.
I’d say it’s an Iowa City fixture now. I was sad when Atlas closed, but they kept the best parts of their menu and added some awesome new stuff.

Ate outside as the weather was nice, so can't comment on the interior ambience. Basic food choices, but the flavors lacked luster as expressed by all parties in the group. I never realized until now that a regular salad with chicken, their Garden goddess, could be flavorless, but it was. The dressing was watered down which didn't enhance the flavor profile in the least. The worst salad I have ever experienced. A complete waste of money. All in the party wouldn't recommend or go back.
