Scallop tasting (part of the 5 course tasting - January 2026)
Erica L.

One of the best 'New American' restaurants in Corridor area for a lot of reasons and recommend coming here if you can afford it occasionally. However, I was surprised on one dish for missing the mark this round unfortunately. For only being here once though and they change up their menu seasonal, I'm hopeful their 'too salty' dishes are few and far between. The service was good as they were knowledgeable on menu items. The ambiance was moody. They also have a wonderful bar area with a large upscale selection of drinks. Bathrooms were nice and it's great to view the kitchen working away in the back area. Now for more food details. The group had the 5 course offering. Highly recommend the steak tartar as it was the groups favorite - "the Midwest's poke bowl" . The least favorite was the scallop dish as it was way too salty it overpowered the flavor profile and was bitter. The agnolotti pasta, pork belly, and banana assortment dessert were delectable.

Upscale dinning dedicated to local (farm to table) produce / products - crafting the most unique feasts for an enjoyable experience. Service is extra extraordinary. Every detail is attended to ensure a memorable experience. The ambience has a unique nostalgia vibe to it. While here take a good look around the entire establishment to see all the unique decorum.

What a cool place to eat the food is freshly made and locally sourced when possible. Great ambience and everybody was super friendly. I highly recommend.

Phenomenal service and ambiance! I loved all of the dishes but for the price I did feel like the proportions or number of courses could have been grander. It was also 2 of my best friends birthday and they could have done something extra for the special occasion to stand out. But overall for lowa this was a great experience ! The tasting menu and wine pairing were so good!

Raw oysters. My only regret is I didn't get a dozen.

Back again. Dinner and a show. So sorry about that. I did not finish the review from the last time we're here. Came in to Cobell Hill again because it's our number one choice in Cedar rapids. I'll try to get a few pictures of the meal this time but if you haven't been here you should certainly try it out you won't be disappointed. Regarding the Bar today, Steve and Seth were doing their magic. Service is always outstanding. The ambience you can't do any better than Cobble hill. Ambience here is outstanding as Peggy point out to me she loves the brick walls are something to die for. But at the end of the day, the team is what makes Cobble Hill my number one choice in Cedar Rapids Whoops, I said that twice. If you haven't been here. You definitely need to put this on your punch list. Plan on spending at least two hours. Try to avoid it on Paramount nights. Carrie and Andy will do and a great job of making you feel at home.

Came here with our friends and were absolutely blown away by their food and drinks! Hands down, one of the best meals we've had in the state since moving to Iowa. We were staying in Iowa City for the weekend and were thrilled to try Cobble Hill. We ordered their Charcuterie, sourdough, Carpaccio, and Crudo to share and everything was delicious. I got the Pork and hubby got the Artic Char and both were very tasty -- especially the pork! We usually get steak entrees but we were so glad we tried these ones as they were cooked so well and with such unique flavors. Our cocktails were also very well balanced and refreshing. Dessert was also very good -- we got the 100 Layer Apple Cake and the Black Forrest Cake, loved both. I think if I would choose between the two, I'd go for the Black Forrest. The vibe is very cozy and romantic in here. And our server, Tyson did a phenomenal job. She made our night very memorable and we enjoyed dining with Cobble Hill and will definitely be back soon.

The restaurant nice the server was very knowledgeable and the menu was complex. But the delivery was missing flavor . The farm to table concept is cool. The plates look beautiful. But the food lacks flavor. The bar was beautiful and the drinks were very good. The food could use more seasoning . They have a small menu I expected better execution . I ordered the duck I was actually expecting duck breast for the price. I got thighs but I wa open minded the veggie balls were gross the glaze was delicious. We had the civeche as a starter it was a little off was not as fresh as I would expect . The concept is coll the flavor is lacking. My wife had the pork belly it was good . It was braised instead of fried wich was intreasting . It was complex the was sauce was very good .

Duck breast... perfectly cooked

Cobble Hill is my favorite restaurant in the city. A great fusion of foods with local available ingredients. The presentation and attention to the food is second to none. The menu changes according to what's available. And they never disappoint...

I was visiting a friend and she treated us to a special dinner out here. She and I split a bottle of their fancy non-alcoholic sparkling tea. The hibiscus and blackberry notes paired with the light effervescence were lovely. We were a table of four, allowing us to share several dishes. The glazed carrots were excellent. The scallop crudo was perfectly prepared. Usually, I really enjoy gemelli and beets. Unfortunately, this dish did nothing for me, though it was visually striking. The pork belly with braised cabbage was an excellent choice. The bibimbap with compressed Asian Pear was incredibly complex and so delicious. Unfortunately, the tortellini was not portioned for us to share easily. The chocolate dessert was outstanding, but the Earl Grey tea ice cream was transcendent! The space is lovely and never got too loud, even though they were quite busy. Sadly, they were hosting a larger group that evening. That seemed to negatively impact our service. We waited for long periods several times throughout the meal: between seating and ordering, after ordering and receiving any food, after our main course and being asked if we would like dessert. This poor service definitely detracted from my experience at the restaurant.

What can I say, I'm visiting from California and I consider myself a foodie, and this place knocks it out the park. Definitely giving California restaurants a run for their money. I would consider this place New American with a touch of gastronomy; for example the olive oil cake with Meyers lemon was so moist it was more like a mousse, but you could tell it was cake just to give an example, that's the gastronomy side. The oysters, my wife's first time having them, loved it. The West Coast tasted just like the ocean where we live, the East Coast were sweet and fruity. No complaints at all with the food. Now our server Dion was on point engaging conversation with us answering all our questions, breaking down what was going to be served. Top notch in all. I dropped $210 ( tip included) on dinner and the way I rate restaurants, does the food justify the price, all I can say is I underpaid for the quality of food and creativity of how good it was. I could have paid more and it still would have been worth it. you won't be disappointed coming here. The ambiance is amazing, music is not too loud, nobody's being foolish with drinks, everybody's just having a good dinner, good conversation, and a really good time. The staff is amazing. seriously, Cobble Hill could be a standard for many restaurants to succeed, and the plating artistic. Everything was amazing, no complaints, it was an experience, not just a sit down and eating restaurant. It was a wonderful, great experience. Thank you so much for making our dinner amazing.

Inside

We had an exceptional meal here at Cobble Hill. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. We were here on business and looking for something different and not a chain. Actually, it seems this is a popular place for business dinners as we saw others conducting meetings over dinner here. Even during the middle of the week, they were busy, and it's easy to see why. They took the time to explain their farm to table concept. Everything is house made, locally sourced, crafted to delight the eyes as well as the taste buds. They have a great reasonably priced happy hour special. Their menu changes seasonally and during this visit I tried their swordfish entree. It's been almost a week now and I'm still thinking about that entree. Flavorful and delicious, the swordfish wasn't even fishy at all if that makes any sense. We had the house made gnocchi app as well and I couldn't get enough of it. Airy and flavorful. I can't think of how this meal could've been any better. Truly a 5 star experience.

This place has beautiful decor and a coat check at the door! The bar is inviting as well as the seating. The food is all farm to table so the menu changes depending on when you go. We got a seasonal butternut squash soup. This soup was packed with spices and very memorable. We both enjoyed our meals and finished with a delicious dessert. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

Ricotta Gnudi
Christine H.

I really struggled in putting this together. Here's the rundown: -ambience is great. Super cute interior - exposed brick, plants, great lighting and loved the antique dishware. -farm to table is pretty much always a winning concept but the food was hit and miss. I ordered the ricotta gnudi and it was too salty.charcuterie board didn't have much to offer. Parisian gnocchi was my favorite! - service started strong but at the end we were kind of ignored -cocktails - amazing! I would lean towards coming in for a drink and appetizers to enjoy the setting.

My birthday sorbet and candle!

See all
