Four of us arrived on a Saturday night for a 6 PM reservation. We were seated efficiently and promptly and found the menus to be a little bit beyond our culinary lexicon. However our pleasant server answered many of our questions by thoroughly explaining ingredients and methods. We order the bruschetta as an appetizer for all to share and everyone loved the light salad greens on top of the fennel and the cheese. My wife ordered the burger and I ordered the pan-seared halibut. My halibut was absolutely delicious as was the asparagus that accompanied it. I was craving another half portion. My wife's burger which she ordered medium rare arrived a little bit beyond medium rare but she still enjoyed it and the house cut fries were very tasty and well seasoned. For dessert we ordered the chocolate lava cake and the orange cream creme Brûlée. The orange flavor was mild but unmistakable and I scraped out every bit of it. Her lava cake was good but not as good as the one she had at Flemings. Our guests also had their way with their meals and desserts. We all left quite satisfied and agreeing that Alba is a place we would strongly recommend to our friends. You can have confidence that you are not likely to be disappointed. read more

We are vegetarians and the Brussel sprouts here are to die for, so are the desserts. We love how considerate and attentive the staff is at Alba read more

This is one of my top 5 restaurants in the world! The food is amazing. I'm making my way down the menu. All great choices and the desserts are awesome. read more

Came for the first time during Des Moines Restaurant week 2015. I've heard amazing things and boy, they did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I tried different things so we could sample a lot. It's $25 for 3 courses during restaurant week. First courses: BLT sweatbreads - must try, absolutely divine Pork Belly pretzal rolls - pickled veggies were good but pork was cold, decent dish Second course: Salmon with pickled shitake mushrooms and vinigerette - AMAZING, the mushrooms made the dish! Bay scallops with sweetcorn sauce and fingerling potatos - really savory and scallops were cooked just right Third course: Sweet corn brulee- interesting take on brulee, great summer dish Peach cobbler with homemade vanilla basil icecream - unbelieveable, tart peaches and the basil in the icecream was heavenly I will be back for sure! read more

Outstanding! Sat at the Chef's Table this evening and the experience was phenomenal. Chef Mason and his team prepared a special tasting menu for my son's 16th birthday. This innovative Chef wowed us with his delectable creations as each course was better the next. Aside from the food being amazing, Jason, the owner, and his staff went above and beyond to make this experience memorable. We will certainly be back! read more

Wednesday was a good night because bottles of wine were 1/2 price so we scored a nice Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. End of summer so a heirloom tomato salad with arugula was an equally smart choice. My fave was definitely the smoked pork chop with a delicious mushroom and plum reduction and tasty potato side. Nicely executed, great service. read more

Overall experience: Mediocre--will not return Food: I ordered the white lasagna ($21). It was meh. It was a skillet of blah food. It wasn't lasagna. There was no cheese flavor--there was no flavor! I'm not even sure where the noodles were. I didn't even finish it. My husband had the salmon ($30). He said it was okay, but they overcooked the vegetables under the salmon. Their appetizers were bomb, however. We had some chorizo fries and deviled eggs. Maybe it's a good place for drinks and appetizers? But speaking of drinks... Beverages: No beer on tap?! $5-7 for a single BOTTLE of beer. Beer is a huge thing right now. How could they not have beer on tap and then charge the price for one bottle that almost equals what you could buy in a six-pack at the grocery store? Service: Phenomenal. Five star service. Price: Those were not $20-30 plates of food. If you're going to charge that much, you had better make sure the quality equals the cost. I've fine paying $30 for a salmon entree, but it had better dang well be worth $30! I was incredibly disappointed in this establishment and will not be returning. read more

One of my favorite restaurants ... and I've only been once! Enjoyed a Monday night in the bar for their burger and cocktail special; who knew you could spend just $12 and enjoy such amazing food. The staff was super friendly and the place has an incredibly intimate atmosphere in the bar! read more

I do quite a bit of traveling every year and I fear going to places that might not have great food. I flew in to Des Moines, Iowa and I was afraid. Well I ain't afraid no mo!! Thanks to Alba, this place has some amazing food and their beer selection is spot on. I started with the Spanish Octopus followed by the pan seared Halibut which kicked but. I needed with the lava cake in honor of my wife and it made me feel guilty that she wasn't here to partake in this amazing dinner experience. I will be coming back tomorrow. By the way please try the Slingshot beer and the American Amber ale. Thank you Alba for providing some Amazing food away from home! read more

Was passing through Des Moines on my way to Chicago on Sat night and couldn't get a reservation at any of the other recommended restaurants in the area, but was able to get one at Alba. Expectations were low but we were SO pleasantly surprised! Everything was delicious! We had the deviled eggs, sausage, farro salad, roasted chicken, and scallops. It was all sooo good. I had to try the tres leches cake as well...It was amazing. The flavor combinations were all perfect. Seriously one of the best meals I've had in the last 2 years. We definitely lucked out stumbling upon this restaurant and having such a great dinner. read more

Possibly the worst steak I've ever had. 45$ for 6oz of burnt rubber. You like asparagus or mashed potatoes with steak? Sorry, they don't have em. 140$ of pure sadness and disappointment. read more

Alba's was a fun upscale restaurant that had fresh local ingredients on the menu. I had the chive potato gnocchi and the sauce was fabulous. The whole meal was great but I ended up putting the spinach to the side because it was like chewing gum. I don't know if it was overcooked or undercooked but if I were to order it again I'd ask to have it left off. The restaurant has great atmosphere, cool artwork and is in a nice location. The service was also good. The men who refilled the waters were like ninjas. We barely realized they were keeping our glasses consistently full. The only other thing about the service was it was a little formal. The waiter was very professional but also very scripted. He didn't joke around or even really offer any other conversation other than to take our order and ask if we wanted dessert. I assumed that's how he was suppose act but it's not like it's trying to be black tie with it's mis-matched plates (which I also loved this because my appetizer plate was from the 80's and I think my family had the same set when I was growing up ;). Overall a very fun restaurant with great food. Would definitely recommend! read more

Alba - Chive potato gnocchi - American Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

This review is for 4.5 stars. Alba is just a great restaurant all around. First off, the restaurant ambiance is fantastic. They have a fairly large bar area with 5 high tops and a long bar with about 20 seats. 1 TV is a shame but nice nonetheless. They also have a large dining area in the main side of the restaurant. We came on a Monday night, better known as the bar burger night. $6 gets you a small burger (about 2 slider worth) and fries. 7 options ranging from pork to beef, with cheese or with avocado, and more. Additional options to add are fried egg, bacon, or side of veggies, all at a pretty high mark up (i.e. $4.50 for replacing veggies with fries). The burger I ordered was supposed to come with brussel sprouts and pickles though they brought out a plain cheeseburger instead; cooked as I ordered, but not what I wanted. After a few accidental bites, I realized i had gotten the wrong burger. Alba took the burger back, and instead of getting a completely new one, they simply removed the cheese and added brussels rather than cooking a new burger. I like that they updated my order, but the fact that they updated my burger with bite marks still in it, was pretty weird and poor customer service. To continue, the fried egg was a must addition to any burger. The veggies were the best side veggies I have ever had. Onions, carrots, cauliflower, and more. Much more than your typical side and worth the $4.50. Beer list is small but have a couple of notable IPA's and Pale Ales worth a go at about $5-7 each. Alba is a great restaurant, whether you come on Monday, for Happy Hour, or for dinner. My meal was a winner other than the send back. Still I would come back again without hesitation. read more

Went here for lunch this week for a work meeting. Lunch menu is a little limited but price wise it was great. I ordered the open faced crab cake sandwich with fries. I was disappointed in their side options as it was a choice between a spinach salad, butternut squash soup, or fries. I was hoping for just a lettuce salad but they only had spinach which I am not a big fan of. The crab cake was small, flavor was good. The pineapple salsa on top was excellent. Fries were decent, nothing special. For dessert, we split the banana pie creme brûlée. The flavor was excellent but the texture was off. As for the ambiance and wait staff....the building and decor is very nice. Very open with nice atmosphere. The wait staff was ok. They were quick with everything. My only complaint is they seemed annoyed with serving a larger group of people and were not very friendly when we asked questions about the menu. We had one person arrive 20 minutes late due to work and they acted very annoyed with us for ordering another meal after the rest of us received our food. Overall, good food, great prices, questionable wait staff. Will try again for dinner. read more

Last week my fiancée and I decided to go to Alba in Des Moines East Village. We made a reservation through RESY which was rather convenient and straightforward. We even got a nice reminder text about our reservation thirty minutes before we were supposed to arrive. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and were quickly seated. The drink menu includes a good wine, cocktail, and local beer selection. My fiancée got a glass of wine, and I went with a local beer from Confluence. Our waiter suggested that we start off with the Chorizo Fires, so we followed suit. The hand cut fries were hands down delicious! However, the Chorizo was so overly salty it was hard to understand why they would combine these two items. Alba seems to repeat itself with combinations of food that shouldn't be paired. After the appetizer, we decided to order two main dishes. I ordered the Marinated Hanger Steak medium rare. My fiancée ordered the Red Wine-Braised Brisket. When the dishes arrived, they looked amazing. The platting at Alba is outstanding, and you can tell the chef cares about how the food is presented. My dish which was the steak was over cooked and was more on the medium-well done side. That's disappointing because you could tell they were putting some serious effort into getting a good crust on the steak and developing the flavors with the caramelized onions and mushrooms. The steak was ok and the dish overall was sweet. The dish was surprising in the fact that it caught you off guard, but the flavor didn't align with a good steak dish. My fiancee's dish was pretty disappointing. When you order brisket in Iowa, you expect to get something more than just pot roast. The "brisket" had a crock pot type texture and had no sear to lock in the flavors. The dish also had a sweet undertone from the carrot risotto. Overall I felt the dish was a letdown and so did my fiancée. I don't want to give you the idea that Alba is a bad restaurant. It's got some unique dishes and is defiantly worth a try. Being at the price point Alba is at you would expect the kitchen to have better execution of the dishes they put out. read more

I finally decided to try Alba after Gordon Ramsay ate here on May 2nd. We sat on the patio and the food was exceptional - it was probably the best meal I've ever had in the city. I understand that their menu changes every few weeks, so it probably doesnt help to make a specific recommendation, but try the crab cakes and the risotto if available. read more

Omg where to start? Let me just say my husband and I LOVED Alba! We came here for our anniversary dinner. We started off with the deviled eggs, fritters, and arugula salad. Everything was so delicious and fresh. Not too much dressing on the salad either, which was nice. For our entrees I had the gnocchi with chicken, and my husband had the short rib. The short rib was nice and tender, and had a ton of flavor. The gnocchi was amazing as well, and again, had so many different flavors that just worked together. We split the chocolate lava cake for dessert. My only complaint is that the lava cake and ice cream was really small for the price. Our server was kind a courteous, and just made our entire evening enjoyable. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a fun date night! Can't wait to come back on a burger night! read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a few years now, my boyfriend and I finally did because it was a restaurant were both hadn't tried yet. I really liked the openness of the dining area. Big windows all around! There id's a bar area back by the kitchen kind of tucked away from the rest of the dining area. Our waiter was very kind and courteous. He was more than willing to answer any questions we had. The menu is not large, not pretty pricy. I got the sea bass for $29 and that's all it was with a few chopped up veggies around it in the sauce. It was smaller than the size of my fist. It was okay but definitely nothing out of this world compared to what I've had other places and even at home. Domestic beers were $4.75 and my glass of wine was $10. Pretty standard for a pricey place such as this. The three stars is less the two for price and taste. We weren't blown away by anything especially for the price we paid. I've heard rave reviews for this place but unfortunately we won't be back. Nothing left us wanting more, and we have quite a list of places we love and frequent often, as well as places we have yet to try. read more

Everything is right about this place. The cocktails are perfectly balanced, the food is creative and excellent, the service is exceptional! We were grateful for Matt who helped us have a night away from the kids and found us a table! Truly, nothing could have been better. It was perfect. read more

My favorite restaurant in Des Moines! Great service, menu and character. I highly recommend Alba.

Shame on me for not coming to Alba sooner!! I'm not sure how I've passed up Alba and their swanky wine list for all this time, but I clearly have some ground to make up. The space is kinda quirky chic--(is that even a thing??) the food definitely elevates it into a finer dining category very quickly. We started with the beets. I've tried recreating this dish and have not even come close! Not sure what their secret is, but they make the beets taste heavenly. I went with the beef cheek stroganoff & my dining companion selected the wild mushroom pasta. Everything is always better with fresh pasta--how is something so simple, so amazing? Our selections were thoroughly enjoyed. Dinner concluded with some in house ice creams. I loved the buttermilk ice cream! Kick back, have some wine, food & wonderful conversation. Alba is tops and I can't wait to return! read more

As the great Jim Zabel would say......I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT Solid Choices Blueberry Mojito (best one I've had in Des Moines) Bacon Wrapped Rabbit with Arugala (this was an offer during Restaurant Week 2013) Pan Roasted Chicken Breast Pan Roasted Pork Sirloin Gnocci Salted Caramel Creme Brulle They are busy so it's best to make a reservation. They are fantastic so go hungry. Next time we're going to try and get the Chef's table. read more

We found this by accident and didn't have a reservation. When we explained we were on a road trip they quickly sat and served us. It was great and I'm glad to have found this place. The food was fresh, delicious and the place was cute, neighborhood feel. Want to go back today, but it's quite a drive. read more

Great food for sure but ambience is a bit lacking which is why I didn't give them 5 stars. Looked better and more fancy on their website. We started with the shrimp and shiitake beignets and deviled eggs (all fancy style). Next I ordered the coconut curry soups with poached prawns and my husband ordered the red beet salad with fried goat cheese. The soup was really spicy and delicious. My husband enjoyed the red beet salad too. We were pretty full by this time So we decided to split the Australian sea bass entree. We spilt the Australian sea bass entree because we were really full by then. read more

This place is where we went for our anniversary. We came back to Des Moines for our 2nd year and chose this place as our dinner spot. I was able to speak with the chef/owner. We had our wedding reception dinner here 2 years ago. We had the red snapper special with turnips and pan roasted chicken with squash gnocci. Our server was nice. I love the atmosphere here. They have colorful doors that hang from the ceiling. I recommend anyone to come here for dinner read more

Have been going to Alba for years, and this place has never disappointed us. It is our go-to restaurant for any special celebrations. We LOVE sitting at the chef's table and chatting with the different cooks. Jason makes it a point to say hi and catch up with us whenever possible. The menu is ever changing and if you're lucky and the restaurant is not too busy, you might be able to ask to have a tasting menu. It's the best bang for your buck and a great way to experience all that Alba has to offer. Also, Shannon's cocktails are the best in the greater Des Moines area. It helps that she has such an engaging and fun personality. read more

I'd been to Alba back when it first opened, but hadn't visited again until last night. Restaurant week seemed like a great excuse to try it again, especially because Alba easily has one of the broadest and most generous restaurant week menus in town (at least ten entree selections, as opposed to many restaurants offering three). We arrived a little early for our reservation and were seated right away - of course, we were eating early; by the time we left, the restaurant had definitely filled up. The wine and beer list at Alba is certainly decent; I had a moderately priced Chenin Blanc that was very good. There are some wonderful-looking cocktails on the menu but I'll have to save them for next time. For our starters, we had the carrot mint soup and the sweet corn soup. Hands-down, the carrot mint was my absolute favorite. I couldn't believe the texture of it - it was unbelievably light and frothy with wonderful flavor and a little chiffonade of fresh mint on top. The sweet corn soup was almost as good; a little sweet with a spicy kick. For my main course, I ordered the short ribs. They were mouth-wateringly tender and served over mustard spaetzle and mixed vegetables. The braising liquid on the plate was so fantastic, I sopped it up with bread when I'd eaten everything else on my plate. Charlie had the pork loin duo, which was served over chorizo, potatoes, and other assorted veggies. The pork was terrific - seared on the outside and cooked exactly to medium rare. For dessert, I had to try the famous lava cake with sea salt and buttermilk ice cream. I'm not normally a chocolate cake type of person, but the tang of the buttermilk ice cream along with the sea salt managed to counteract and brighten what could have been a too-rich spoonful of chocolate. Pierce it with your fork and chocolate comes oozing out the center - perfect to scoop up with the buttermilk ice cream. It was better than I imagined it could be - and a lot better than Charlie's dessert, a blueberry marzipan tart with vanilla bean ice cream. Honestly, the blueberries were plump and juicy and the crust was very good, but there was no way it could compete with that lava cake. Service was excellent, the food was great, and I've always loved the decor and the ambience. Sure, it's a little loud; it's a big room with wooden floors and there's nothing to soak up the sound. But I really enjoyed my food and the whole experience eating at Alba - next time, I won't wait so long to go back! read more

Outstanding Des Moines restaurant. The poured concrete bar and hip ambiance make this place welcoming and very contemporary and a great place for a date night or entertaining. Check out the old doors suspended from the ceiling. The bar has an extensive martini menu and a good wine selection. (Wines were half price by the bottle the night I went.) The food is of course the main attraction. The crew is young but obviously experienced. The main cooking is done out in the open. We sat at the chef's table and it's always fun to chat with the kitchen crew. Appetizers of prosciutto wrapped goat cheese (outstanding) and the fritters (good). Our party had the duck, the trout, the fish (Mahi Mahi) and the pork belly. The pork belly was exceptional, think everything great about bacon in one main dish. The menu is well balanced and not overwhelming. Prices are reasonable. Owner-chef Jason was on duty and very welcoming. The staff exchanged serving duties effortlessly. This is the real deal in Des Moines. read more

As always, a great meal. International coworker referred to Alba as the best in Des Moines. I agree and it is my favorite place to dine in the city. The soups are very good. Recommended. read more

Alba - Main dining area. - American Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

We came here on a whim when we realized one of our favorite restaurants was closed on the Monday we wanted to go out. We first ordered our drinks. We ordered the house reisling, which was just what a reisling should be, bourbon press, perfectly made each time, and the "bees knees" (who would have thought camomile infused gin would be so perfect?!) Great start to the night. We then ordered steak tartare for our starter which was nicely flavored and was served with potatoes. The potatoes were a nice earthy flavor that balanced out the steak tartare perfectly. We ordered the ribeye, chicken, and stroganoff main courses. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the sides were thoughtfully chosen. We then ordered the pot'de creme, creme brûlée, and molten lava cake. Just like everything we had before, ingredients were chosen thoughtfully and perfectly prepared. Our server was outstanding. She was very nice, and attentive but not overly so. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Probably one of my top 5 restaurants in Greater Des Moines. This place can get a bit spendy quick but it is worth every penny. Alba features a nice sized bar area and a comfortable dinning room. The dinning room is filled with huge windows that are a great spot for people watching if you are lucky enough to get a window seat. My wife went with pasta and I did the sole, both of which were very good. I thought the portion sizes were ample as well. They had a special lamb app which we also enjoyed. Dessert was ok and I probably would skip the chocolate lava cake in the future but this is not a dessert bar and I am not a sweets person, so I will not dock points. Service was definitely a highlight. Our server was attentive and incredibly knowledgable on the menu, right down to the beer list. If you want to showcase good eats in DM, hit up Alba. read more

What Alba had in great food it completely ruined for me with an absolute dearth of service. Last week we had a party of seven go to Alba for my girlfriend's birthday dinner. We were all very excited; Alba is one of Des Moines' many new restaurants - part of the city's resurgence. What an exceptional disappointment, even with outstanding food. The restaurant was not crowded on Thursday night but we still: 1. Were there for nearly three hours and I was only served two cocktails. Why? I don't know. They could have easily made another $50 off my drinks alone had we actually had any service. 2. It took an hour for us to get our food after ordering. Had our server taken the time to visit our table in that hour I might have been a little more forgiving. Or perhaps a manager could have stopped over. Instead we sat, spending our energy trying to flag down another drink. 3. 30 minutes after ordering our dessert - yes, 30 MINUTES LATER - we were informed that they were out of the desserts we had ordered. Why 30 minutes? I have no idea. This wasn't explained. Our experience at Alba displayed poor service and poor management. We were given gift certificates for a free dessert, but I'm not sure when i will ever actually have the time it takes to get dessert at Alba. It's a shame, too; the food was exceptional. But until I hear that they've had a change in staff, I think I will avoid Alba. Because since our visit, I have heard the same story from many other people. So in spite of five star food, I just cannot recommend anyone take the time to visit Alba. read more

I can't imagine it gets much better than this in Des Moines. I was here for work and we stopped here for dinner. The things to love 1) We had an amazing waitress. Super familiar with the menu and very on top of it! The cork broke when she opened the wine and she immediately offered to replace the bottle. After tasting we did agree it wasn't as good as the initial pour. We felt bad but she was so insistent it was really nice! 2) Great menu that was seasonal and sounds like it changes seasonlly. There were multiple things I wanted to try! 3) Things were tasty :) We tried: Appts - Mushroom bruschetta - good but bread was too crunchy to eat in any type of neat fashion. Egg on top = brilliant! Beet Carpaccio - delish Arugala Salad - straight forward Entrees - Pig Cheeks - tender, tasty, came with tons of veggies on the side Short Ribs - Tasty and not too fatty of a cut (a problem you have a lots of other places Halibut - Cooked very well, extremely buttery in texture\ Anything that has their chorizo is worth a try Desserts - Roasted Peach - AMAZING Lava Chocolate cake - sooo good.......worth the whatever 10 minute wait they note in the menu I will definitely be back when I pass through Des Moines! read more

We had much better service than some of the other reviews here. John was our server, and he took excellent care of us. He walked us carefully and thoughtfully through the menu, and made some very good recommendations. Pacing was just right. Perhaps things have improved quite a bit since Nathan and Tyler had their terrible outing here. Not only was service terrific, but the food was outstanding. For an appetizer we shared the chicken and prosciutto fritters. These, while not the highlight of the evening, were quite tasty. I had the asparagus soup, complete with a lovely garnish of crispy, toasted bread crumbs in the middle, and accented by beet juice diffused throughout (a very nice visual effect). If you like asparagus, I highly recommend this item. My wife had an arugula salad, which she loved. I had the 5-spice lamb shank for my entree. This was very good, but didn't stand a chance against my wife's pig cheek. Wish I would have ordered that one. I found it very interesting the way that the chef uses juices (carrot, beet) as a base for sauces/garnishes. Very nice effect, and something that I would like to experiment with myself in the future. It was delicious, and was wonderfully light. Hopefully they have ironed out the kinks in the few months since the other reviews. Give it a try, but wait another week, as they are closed for vacation through next weekend. read more

My first visit to Alba left a bit to be desired. It's definitely not the place to go if you just want some appetizers. However, I decided to give it another shot for a sit-down dinner and we had an excellent meal and great service. It was a beautiful night so we chose to sit on the patio. There was a small interruption from the neighborhood kids but the hostesses politely shooed them away. Our waiter was friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the food including how it was cooked. It was half price wine bottle night so we enjoyed a bottle of Kung Fu Girl Riesling (of course we picked it because of the name). We also shared a 1/2 order of the Chive Potato Gnocchi with prawns and veggies in a mascarpone truffle oil sauce. For my entree, I got the scallops - the carrot juice seemed a bit odd at first but it was delicious! We couldn't pass up the dessert I'd heard so much about so we shared the Molten Lava Chocolate cake with buttercream ice cream and the rhubarb crisp with honey lavendar ice cream. OH MY GOD! The desserts alone were worth the visit. read more

Alba is one of the great "date" locales in Des Moines. They feature a fresh, seasonal menu. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth amazing! The duck was perfectly cooked to perfection. We had a chai creme brûlée for dessert that was pure silk! From the textures and flavors to the attentive staff and great ambiance, this is a great place to visit. read more

I've been to Alba several times since they opened. Always fresh, seasonal, interesting menu items, strongly rotated through the year. Exceptionally knowledgeable waitstaff - helpful when I go with friends or family with dietary restrictions. Amazing, unfussy but interesting decor, great location (right off the interstate, in the wonderful East Village. GREAT date restaurant, for what that's worth, because you often share plates, and it's a good way to get to know each other's tastes. read more

The concept of local grown is great, but the food was not worth the price. My husband got the duck and I got the gnocchi. I didn't like either and couldn't finish my meal. It tasted like there was way to much citrus in everything. The best thing we got was the truffle fries, which were great...but I mean, they're fries. We also got their special cocktail of the night which was just very sweet. Over $100 later we ended up ordering a pizza later in the night :/ read more

Amazing service. Gnocchi was spectacular! Split churros and molten lava cake for dessert-5 stars

By far the best food in Des Moines. amazing service with incredible drinks as well. I've eaten here 10 or more times and it just gets better and better. They also have a wonderful happy hour. I would recommend any of their steak. small menu but it is all good read more
