“I wanted to really love Marina Mercantile. Made a Mother's Day Tea reservation. Our initial arrival was not welcoming and I was asked twice if I had a reservation. My mom, my daughter, and I waited an hour for our tray of treats. We were last to be served. People that arrived after us were served before us. We are the only minorities in the shop. It felt racist sadly or their service was extremely slow. The food was ok not the freshest tasting for a special Mother's Day event. Prepaid $200 with fixed gratitude and service charge. 🫤“

“I first heard about Kanishka's Des Moines location through a friend who saw somebody raving about it in a Seattle foodies group here on FB. My friend and I went to check it out and, well, it's my new favorite restaurant. I've been here 3 times and Door Dashed it once in the past month. The food every time has been absolutely fantastic, and the portion size are quite generous. The appetizers are almost entree-sized; the first time I went there with a friend, we filled up on appetizers and had to get our entrees to go. Dish recommendations: Chicken 65 and Fish Pakoras for appetizers; Mixed Grill, Lamb Vindaloo, and Paneer Korma entrees. Also, listen to your host as it seems like they're always trying out new dishes that haven't made it onto the menu yet.“

“This is the loveliest little place that despite its delicious menu and incredible cocktails still feels kind of unknown. Even friends that have lived in WSea for years haven’t heard of its existence. Even though I’d like to keep it that way, I’d much rather have it succeed and never go away.

Also, got to meet one of the owners tonight, super nice guy with very kind friends. The bathroom even has VIP club-style amenities like toothpicks, mints and lotion. We ❤️ Locöl.“

“We Love Ruby Brink! Burger night—say no more…! The beef dip sandwich on the lunch menu is another favorite. We love eating here for so many reasons though. This isn’t a “high staff turnover” type restaurant where you’ll be greeted by stressed out workers plastered with fake smiles fighting over tables like you might be used you. This is a grown-up establishment with grown-up food and grown-up and experienced, competent and empowered staff and I appreciate how this dynamic expressed itself in terms of guest experience. When I say that the food is grown-up I mean that it is carefully selected and prepared from scratch and this means it does not taste like what other restaurants are doing, which often is buying bags of frozen soup and sauces from the chef supply store to keep costs down and to keep everything tasting exactly the same, every time. You will taste different things here and that might surprise you. Ready yourself for that and enjoy!“

If you read up on the background of this place, wanting to be your neighborhood joint, great food and drinks and ambience, then I think they are there. We had the mushroom etouffee with Cajun prawns, fried chicken sandwich, apple salad, and the beignets! I'm sure it is a personal preference, but I thought the beignets were better than at Toulouse Petit. Can't wait to try brunch!!“

“Lovely establishment to dine in. I came for a Mother’s Day breakfast. Atmosphere is beautiful. One of my favorite things about this place was when I sat at my outdoor table I had a complimentary blanket in case I wanted to warm up. Absolutely totally used it!! My choice was a mushroom omelette. I was informed that the mushrooms on my plate were locally foraged.. as my plate arrived I noticed the cute little mushrooms I’ve seen on a few of my hikes! Now I know they are edible! The omelette was complemented by a side dish of cheesy grits. Also at the table was a bowl of French onion soup and their French toast. All items ordered were delicious. The atmosphere was classy and upscale but not stuffy. Staff was friendly, classy as you’d expect in this type of restaurant and helpful.
I certainly would like to come back.“

It's in an interesting area, but the building has a gorgeous mural on the outside and plenty of parking. When you walk in, you're greeted by the sweet tunes and friendly smiles. They play music videos on a tv, and I got to listen to my favorite, Rauw Alejandro and more. The drinks were exactly what I needed after a long day. Excuse the photo with my friend in it 😅 food was delicious. They have homemade corn tortillas there. Don't even bother getting flour because the corn is the best! Tiktok did not disappoint with this place. Portion sizes are just how I like them. Filling with a little to take home.“

“It feels like a special occasion the moment we walk in the door. The staff is excellent and service is spectacular. Everything fits seamlessly here, from decor to dessert cart... the experience is so much fun. Then there's the food & beverages... unrivaled is the best way to put it. Small bites, salads, full course meals, and anything we could think of from the bar. Champagne is the specialty, and after a conversation with Makaila (the bar tender) she chose the perfect bottle. Oh, getting a bottle of Champagne there is a treat too... trust me, just do it. The wine list is impressive, and the espresso flight is something I'm still telling all my friends about. We've gone with friends several times, and everybody has enjoyed every part of the experience. Check their calendar, some fun stuff happens there. Or better yet, just go there and ask the staff what rhe next few events are while sipping your Champagne!“
