Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The banana flavor is real and warm, not fake or overpowering, and the cheesecake itself is creamy without being heavy. Every bite hits that sweet spot between indulgent and comforting, like somebody’s grandmother and a five star pastry chef teamed up and meant business.
I’m not usually dramatic about dessert, but yeah… damn.
If you skip this, that’s on you.
Filet cut like butter and was seasoned a hair above my liking, but it was amazing regardless.
Dim lit atmosphere with a light at the table made it very calming and relaxed.
I would come here again.
20 minutes was the reply. Great! We arrived 25 minutes later. We paid. We tipped and we waited.Ten minutes go by…ok I’ll use the restroom, (which was nice).
I come out, wife is still waiting, ok I’ll plug in my phone. Food bag is presented and we thank the concierge and hurry off to our assignment, three blocks away. We get there, get our instructions and release the other team.
Open the bag—no blue cheese dressing(ranch, instead); no extra dressing. No butter, no sour cream no silverware—even after we stressed we were eating at a remote location, we couldn’t leave. Ok—3 blocks away, we paid $90-called them and ask for someone to run the 6 missing items to us. Not able to help. Even after explaining I had two steaks getting cold, and that clearly, no one had bothered to check the bags accuracy.
Spoke to a “manager” who offered me a discount or a gift card. Told her we didn’t need either, just what we ordered. Then asked “How would you feel if you spent $90 and the service quality was lower than McDonalds?”
The “manager” responded “I think you’re threatening us and I have to hang up now. It’s either a small discount or a gift card or nothing.” I said again “I’m not willing to eat salad, steak and potato with my fingers. We got no silverware, no napkins, not even a breath mint-please, help us enjoy our dinner”.
“I can’t do anything for you. And I have you on tape, threatening us. I’m hanging up now. “Click. WE WILL NOT BE BACK.
After being seated, we waited quite a while and were unsure if we even had a server. Ordering drinks and food was difficult, and despite the restaurant being nearly empty—with multiple servers and a manager on the floor—it took close to an hour for our food to arrive.
Most of the food was decent, except for the coleslaw, which had an unpleasant taste. My steak, ordered medium rare, was brought out well done. The server apologized and took it back to have another made which came out long after everybody else was done with their food and was again overcooked.
The birthday table next to us was also experiencing food issues and requested a manager, which only reinforced the overall lack of quality and attention.
For a place that markets itself as fine dining and specializes in steak, the experience was disappointing. We spent nearly two hours there for a party of six, largely due to poor service.
With so many good dining options in Des Moines, this was unfortunately our first and last visit to this location.
