Great Happy Hour especially if you like pizza. Staff were friendly. Service was attentive. The establishment had a cozy vibe and it was extremely clean. The pizza was pretty good, but definitely left me wanting more for the overall experience. Overall this place is a good place to grab a quick bite.

Had an incredible dining experience! ✨ Great food, amazing service, and a cozy ambiance that made the evening perfect. We tried the soup, pasta, and two pizzas — every dish was flavorful and fresh. The happy hour pizza prices were such a great bonus! Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for delicious food and warm hospitality.

Eatery A I used to love this place, and I was so excited to have it since I hadn’t had it in 5 years. But I will say this was such a huge disappointment. Ordered the meat balls and arancini, it came out ICE cold and very old. We decided against any of the entrees due to this reason. But decided to get a pizza, because its pizza and pizza is always good and i used to think theirs was too. The pizza was worse, Caramelized onions does not mean adding sugar for sweetness, and they should say the onions are basically candy sweet on the pizza. It was overly sweetened. Over all, i will not be coming back and this place has gone down hill. Was unable to eat ANY of the foods. I used to love this place
The manager was nice, but still made us pay for the pizza, no worries. I do not recommend this place anymore. Took 10 minutes for out server to even greet us but we were willing to look past that because we were hoping the food would have out weighed the terrible service and the fact the server did not look like she even wanted to be there. It seemed like a bother she was even waiting on our table. Unfortunately that was not the case and the food was terrible.

My husband and I went on a double date to Eatery A tonight, and we all absolutely loved the ambiance of the restaurant and the taste of the food. It was delicious, hot, and tasty. The decor, the different seating options (large booths, small tables, lounge type chairs), and overall vibe was stunning. We’ve eaten on the patio area in the summertime, and if you have a chance to eat outside, do it! It’s worth it. At night, the nightlife of people walking, talking, and having fun surrounds you and adds a little extra entertainment to your dinner.
Unfortunately, tonight we were quite disappointed in the service or lack of. It took us over 2 hours in total to get our drinks, apps, and dinner. We had reservations at 6:30 and left a little after 8:45. (Thankfully, we weren’t in a hurry, but still). We ordered our apps and dinner at the same time since our server was taking so long just to bring us our drinks out (15+ mins), but it still took over an hour just to get our dinner. By the end of the night, we were the last table left in the restaurant (a few people were left at the bar area), and I had to grab our own to-go boxes from the side area, and located a random waitress and asked her to please help get our ticket or waitress. Our waitress finally walked up with boxes and asked if we were ready for our bill… no apology or acknowledgment that she her taking a bit longer tonight or in general. Our food was GREAT (and surprisingly hot when it arrived), but the service lacked a LOT. Hopefully, it was just one bad night and not an ongoing issue, but I will give them another chance at some point since their pizza’s were so good.

Went for lunch while on business trip in Des Moines and had a delightful experience. Restaurant was clean, spacious, and aesthetically appealing. My server, Michaela was attentive, polite, and engaging.
The chicken shawarma entree was delicious, especially the toasted chick peas for the perfect crunch. Ordered an iced tea and was pleasantly surprised by both the tea and water quality. I would happily return or recommend.

Stumbled here after we dropped our friends off at the Airport. Just searched up Mediterranean food then arrived
We then ordered sandwiches as they had a pretty flavorful menu. Side of spicy potatoes for my partner. Eggs over easy for me.
Espresso martini, definitely recommend. And even a standard coffee was tasty. Very attentive wait staff. No complaints.

The papas, the pizza, the salads, the dark chocolate mousse… you’d be doing yourself a disservice to not check this place out. They have a diverse yet intimate menu, and I’ll be ordering something new with full confidence that it’ll be as incredible as the last next time I visit. This establishment is one of the great examples of how Des Moines is becoming a real contender as a dining destination.
Thanks, Eatery A. That salted caramel budino made my night. Haven’t had a pudding that good since I last visited Sacramento.

Hand’s down the best happy hour in all of Des Moines. The wine is amazing, and they are known for the wood fired pizza, but you HAVE to try the potatoes braavas!
