The Webster is a well-known restaurant in Iowa City, recognized for its upscale dining experience. The menu features a variety of dishes, including standout items like trout and tartare, chicken, and potato salad. The food is generally very good, with some dishes, such as scallops and house-made duck egg pasta, receiving praise for their freshness and proper preparation. The service is excellent, with knowledgeable staff who can guide guests through the menu and provide good wine pairings. While the restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere where guests can linger without feeling rushed, some expectations like offering a variety of red meats or whole fish options are not always met. For example, the only red meat available was a 52oz aged Wagyu, which may not suit everyone. Side dishes like cauliflower can be overly seasoned, and the setting lacks white tablecloths, giving it a more casual vibe. Parking is on the street, so visitors should be prepared for a short walk. Overall, The Webster provides a satisfying dining experience with good food, attentive service, and a comfortable environment.
