To be honest I feel bad leaving such a low review for a fine dining staple, but came today for my…read moreDad's 75th birthday and quite possibly has the worst $200 meal on my life. The $50 sirloin steak was served cold. Because our waitress, Grace H, failed to even ask how our food was the entire time until after we had eaten everything I couldn't even send it back. I spent the entire time trying to make eye contact with her but she was busy taking new tables. When she finally came to ask how our food was and was told, her response was I will let the kitchen know. Not "I will bring you another plate" or even discount or comp the entree. Not what you'd expect from Iowa city's fine dining flagship. The prices were not just expensive, but over the top expensive. $50 for an 8 ounce sirloin. $56 for 12 average oysters. To be honest it's below average in value to a nice restaurant in LA, NY or Chicago. They may thrive because the IC elite doesn't have many options for upscale dining. But for someone who has lived in those cities and eaten at Michelin star culinary venues this place is lacking in both food and service for the prices they charge. It was enough of a bad experience that I will never be back. There's Chez Grace, Joseph's and 126 which offer quality food, much better value and food service. Posting my food pics and the receipt to see what $200 gets you here.

It gives non-college town vibes with crystal light fixtures, tiled walls, big city pictures-- and just an overall 'swanky' feel. The menu has something for everyone-- from small plates to flat breads to (oddly) a plethora of seafood entrees. Additionally, you can get stuffed olives by the skewer to order. I think this is the only place in town to have such a diverse offering of olives. (But I suppose, with a name like the Stuffed Olive-- you can't not.) I ordered a charcuterie to go and I thought bang per buck was ok? But the quality of ingredients as well as how it was packed was less than to be desired. That being said-- the greeting I got from staff when I walked in to pick up my order was great! I got my order on time and in a hurry. The real star of this IC watering hole is its extensive martini menu -- from traditional to dessert. I've popped in a time or two to enjoy these. And now that I know Mondays are buy one, get one for a penny-- I may pop in a time or two more! Staff has been hit or miss my few visits. Pricing seems on point. Parking, as always in downtown IC, is tricky. I recommend the Dubuque Parking Ramp. Overall, this is a welcomed addition to the downtown scene. I can totally see myself having a date night or girls night with a martini in hand at Stuffed Olive.

We asked specifically to see that menu as the food menu has a few cocktails but not as extensive as on the lounge menu. All the cocktails our table tried were great -- tastefully made and well balanced. Finally for the main course, we all tried a ramen.

Service has always been friendly for us if a little slow at times. Ask for a refill well in advance if needing it. They have different themed days like a west coast and a trivia night. The real standout here though is the food. I've enjoyed the turkey club a lot. The bacon jam is delicious. And generous portions of turkey, The pub fries are really tasty. The pork belly is to die for. The mushroom and Swiss is a favorite of my spouse. I also really enjoyed their brunch selections. The thick cut French toast is prepared perfectly and delicious. Even the everyday eggs and bacon were satisfying. I've also had their Detroit style pizzas and I'd honestly choose them over 90 percent of pizza places in the area. Give the Copper Boar an opportunity if you like elevated pub food. Especially during their brunch.
