Beautiful people, cocktails, food, and atmosphere. All kinds of options for a variety of dietary needs.

One of the best dining experiences since moving to Cedar Rapids. Staff was welcoming, wonderfully engaging, and LGBTQ friendly. Highly recommended. read more

As soon as I walked in I felt it was going to be a great experience and I wasn't wrong! From the prompt and friendly service, to the food and the drinks this restaurant definitely deserves a five star rating. Everyone works as a team to ensure the customer is taken care of. They never let my glass of water be empty which is important as I drink lots of water. Great find for someone who is visiting out of state or for locals who want to take their significant other on a date. The ambiance is very romantic and relaxing! The food?!!! So fresh and tasty (shout out to the chefs)!!! Oh... thanks for the free chocolate! read more

From the drink menu to dessert you cannot miss. This is a Michelin star restaurant without the star yet. The combination of farm to table vegetables, creatively executed with the main dishes that defy description. My favorite drink was the whispering garden without the vodka which they graciously provided . The main dishes of duck, fish, pasta, and pork were beyond excellent as well the presentation was elegant. The table by the way tried almost every drink and had fun with the combinations. Desert was my favorite ! You must must try the coconut and lime cake which we passed around with the mousse and then ordered more sorbet it was too good to leave without more ! Gluttony was the name of the meal and we are all stuffed !! This is a can't miss if you are in the area ( we came from Iowa city !) read more

I've always loved this place. But it's a small menu. And I unfortunately had to leave hungry. I hate that. Little bites of food ate the reason I haven't returned. read more

Always the best in staff, food quality and presentation. Love how they use locally grown produce.

Amazing service. The food is the best in the city. Fresh, rich, unexpected and beautiful... can't say enough about this oasis in eastern iowa read more

I'm in Cedar Rapids For a seminar from Palm Springs ca. Found this place on yelp and have to say they were accurate with the rating. Food was just great. Wife had the pork belly and I had the lamb. Both great choices. She ate everything and usually doesn't. Desert was good too. Server was on top of everything. Great experience all the way around. read more

Had a fantastic meal on a work trip at this place. Food was just outstanding as was the service.

Visiting COE College for my son and decided to stop by here for dinner. Found this place courtesy of YELP. The reviews did not disappoint. Their farm to table concept is very impressive. Started with the mussel and fried skate appetizers and they were amazing! Per my husband... one of the best mussel dish he has had ever! For the main dishes, we had the duck breast and flat iron steak. Both were amazing! Cooked perfectly, tender and very flavored. As for dessert, the dark chocolate cake with raspberry sorbet and hazelnut eclair (tonight's dessert of the day) were the perfect way to end an amazing meal! Coming from Southern CA where the food scene is fierce, Cobble Hill can compete with the best of them. PS... take advantage of the social happy hour... amazing drinks at a steal of a price! read more

Had dinner here on a Wednesday night. Place was pretty dead, even though it'd make a great happy hour spot. The vibe inside is good. Had some oysters that were really good. Some from the west coast and some from the east coast. Our server was pretty knowledgeable. Chose the steak and monkfish for dinner. Both were great. Steak was a little undercooked, but still was good. We ended dinner with a trio of pastries that were flaky and delicious. I'd definitely go back here and eat! Good food for Cedar Rapids, Iowa. read more

I am giving this a single star rating for the fact that your advertisement says that you have carry out available I came through with a tour of musicians that were playing at the local Amphitheater the leader of the headlining band wanted to order his dinner from you and you refused serve him carryout and even refuse his tour manager when they came to ask you yet you still want everybody to shop and buy local when people from out of Cedar Rapids are here we want their business we want them to come back I think it was a very poor choice to make the decision of not allowing carryout if that's the fact then you better change it on your advertising read more

We love this place for cocktails and oysters. It was just tonight we actually ate a full dinner. The midwestern specially items are amazing. But having a he seafood tonight I was pretty disappointed With the seafood bulabase, but my husband had the flatiron and it was amazing! read more

My lady friend was in town during her birthday, and I decided that Cobble Hill would be a good "fancy dinner" option. She's vegan, and CH's website said it caters to any dietary preference. Sounded like a match to me. I'll start by noting that I had first eaten at CH for lunch during restaurant week back in September. After that meal, I was underwhelmed. CH ran out of a few options, both for entree and dessert; the pasta dish I had was okay, but nothing memorable; many others with whom I dined had nothing good to say about the burger/duck burger/sandwich offered; and the service was abysmal. Yet I've given CH 5 stars. How's that? Redemption, friends. Redemption. At the aforementioned dinner, we began with drinks on the nightly "social hour" list, offered from 4:30 until 6:30. The wine I had was enjoyable; I was told the cocktail ordered by the other side of the table was equally grand. So that things off to a good, buzzy start. My lady companion then asked about a vegan option. The server explained they could prepare a curry dish for her, and she happily signed off on it. I went with the Bouillabaisse, the spelling of which I admit I just had to look up. The chef first treated us to a tasting, a vegan option for the lady, and a duck mousse option for me. Now, I'm not a big liver guy, and duck liver is not on my list of things to eat on a frequent or even almost-never basis. But I tried it. And it probably will forever be one of the tastiest things I've ever consumed. Buzzy start; delectable Chapter 2. The dinners continued the tasty trek. My dish had all the saffron goodness you expect out of a proper Bouillabaisse. And my female company couldn't get enough of her created-on-the-fly curry. All the ingredients tasted fresh and were full of flavor. Nothing was overpowering or under-seasoned. All the components flawed together wonderfully. The second round of drinks kept the good times coming. CH then even upped the ante by modifying one of their desserts into a vegan option. Then, because that modification meant a few ingredients were left off the plate, our server shaved off a few dollars to avoid over-charging. Well done. The one negative note of the night was the brandy I ordered, from Cedar Ridge Winery. The enamel of my teeth still is recovering from that drink. But this was my choice, and not CH's fault, and I consider it a lesson learned--either I'm not a brandy man, or Cedar Ridge makes terrible brandy. Either way, I learned something. All said, the evening was very enjoyable; the meal, this time, was very memorable; and I have only good things to say about the restaurant, the service, the kitchen crew, and Cobble Hill as a whole. read more

We were excited to try Cobble Hill. We had heard it was opened by a former employee at Lincoln Cafe in Mt. Vernon. We love Lincoln Cafe so we had high hopes. We called the same day for a reservation and the owner/chef Andy answered the phone. He offered to seat us at the kitchen table which he informed us is situated in the kitchen. Andy went on to explain that the kitchen table is great for diners who want to experience the action in the kitchen and interact with the chef and kitchen staff. Sounded fantastic to us! We also informed Andy we were both vegetarians and asked if he could come up with a second vegetarian option so the two of us wouldn't both have to get the one vegetarian entree on the menu. Andy was happy to accommodate our request. When we arrived, we discovered that the "kitchen table" is actually a four-seat bar counter that faces directly into the kitchen. Not a problem. We started by ordering a bottle of Rouseanne, a nice white wine that is also a favorite of the owner of the Lincoln Cafe. We waited and waited for the wine to arrive. And it was impossible to get the attention of the wait staff. Our food arrived before the wine (and not until after I asked someone in the kitchen about it). As for the food, a compressed-watermelon smoked mozzarella amuse bouche with basil and creme fraiche was overwhelmed by the smokiness of the mozzarella. Now for the first courses, I'm guessing the chef added cocoa powder to the beet salad (which seems to be on everyone's starter menu these days) in order to make it not just another beet salad. We're sorry to report it was just another beet salad. The roasted carrot nudi was better, but again not a standout. In fact the consistency of the nudi itself was quite dry, almost powdery. Certainly not the nudi at The Spotted Pig. Thinly sliced striped raw carrots were added for no apparent reason. A simplified dish excellently prepared would have been much better. The sweet corn risotto entree was quite good if leaning towards overly rich. Mushroom with quinoa and compressed apple over a pea smear was offered as our 2nd entree. Again, too much going on and the combination of flavors did not work. And while we we're not eager to eat more of either, the portions were quite small. At $120 for two, you might expect that we left satisfied and pleasantly full. We didn't. It might be unfair to compare Cobble Hill to Lincoln Care, but it's hard not to. Both attempt to produce excellent innovative cuisine and provide a special experience. Lincoln Cafe succeeds on every level. While Lincoln Cafe creates simple yet innovative menus and executes them near-perfectly with a non-fussy sophistication, Cobble Hill overcomplicates its dishes with unexciting results. The room at Cobble Hill is spacious, but is diminished by hokey/home depot touches. This really wouldn't matter if the service was more informed and gracious. Wait staff were not knowledgeable about the food they were serving and seemed hurried and hassled. And, after touting the kitchen table experience, it would have been nice if owner/chef Andy had come over to talk to us about our meal. But no welcome, no thank you for coming, no how was everything. No nothing...while he chatted away with his friend at the other end of the bar (aka kitchen table). read more

I came here today with a coworker over lunch. It was her first time dining here and she was really excited and I was excited for a return trip and a chance to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful day. I mean really, 75 degrees in the middle of July with no humidity? It's a no-brainer. We both ordered the burger with their homemade fries. Yummy Gouda cheese, fresh tomato, bread & butter pickles, butter lettuce, homemade bun...Delish no? Unfortunately, not delish. The server did not ask for a temp on either of our burgers which really surprised me given that the description was house ground burgers. Servers should know what to ask for temps, and if they don't ask, the kitchen should refuse to make the order until they get a temp confirmation from the customer. This is pretty common scenario, right? "Sorry, but I forgot to ask how you'd like your burger/steak cooked?" "Oh! No problem! -Insert temp request here-". Easy peasy. Our burger came out and within the first bite we were staring at RAW hamburger. No one stopped by to ask how everything was either. At $12 for a burger, I shouldn't have to do the server's job for him and the kitchen should know better than to serve such an undercooked hamburger. Sorry, there is no sushi-grade hamburger... so it's never okay. I'm not trying to be harsh...but food safety is numero uno in the food industry. We both ended up "scooping" out our raw hamburger onto our plates...maybe this would get noticed by...someone? Anyone? The server did stop back to clear our plates, but not before asking if we needed to take anything home?? No, sorry, you can keep the raw hamburger, Kiddo. I really was disappointed, especially after the nice experience I had the first time in. I am reluctant to go back... :-( read more

Well this place went way beyond my expectations. We were greeted very quickly by a hostess that took our coats and seated us right away on a Saturday night, but I have a feeling once people catch on to this place people will be lining up out the door! Everything I ordered looked like a piece of art and tasted even better than it looked. They also have a great wine and cocktail menu. Our server was always checking up on us and refilling water and food was delivered very quickly. Yet another great addition to downtown Cedar Rapids I can't wait to go back! read more

I cannot say good enough things about Cobble Hill and Chef Andy. I have had many meals and cocktails here and it continues to impress! This is definitely the best restaurant in Cedar Rapids! The decor is trendy yet homey -- it has the nice neighborhood feel they were going after. I truly enjoy their inventive cocktails and they have a great selection of wines. I have had some amazing and interest food here. I enjoy Chef Andy's level of creativity when it comes to pairing flavors, having interesting mise en place, and how he adds a level of molecular gastronomy. It's obvious he has had great training and can play around with being creative with his food. I have also been very impressed with the lunch here. It is a slightly more casual fare and very reasonable and appropriate for what it is. His Berkshire Pork sandwich and house-ground burgers are to die for. You can really tell the quality of the meat and the time that he takes to prepare his food. If you are a foodie or someone who enjoys the kitchen-scene, I would highly recommend sitting at the chef's table where you can view the cooking process. The chefs were fun to interact with and let me try some new things, which I really appreciated. There are only four seats and I would not recommend it for more than two as it is hard to talk to your party since you will be spread out down the line. But if you're anything like me you will be too busy admiring the chefs to care about your company! I will say that I would not recommend this restaurant for a picky eater or someone who isn't willing to try something new. Cobble Hill is definitely not pretentious but you have to be willing to be a little adventurous. But trust me and trust Chef Andy -- his food is incredible! read more

I wish id saved photos from my visits over the years because their food has the best presentation in town! theyre art projects on a plate and the flavors are just as good. Its a little expensive for us so we dont make it often but if i could afford it, id be here a lot more often. Its a great space, very dark and intimate so makes for the perfect date night. Its probably not for the picky eater or someone looking for large quantities but most definitely one of the best places in town. - Get the Old Fashioned if youre drinking! read more

This restaurant is amazing. I am from NC and this restaurant blows everything out the water. So fresh, clean, and all around amazing. Pricy but worth every penny!!! read more

Every time I go in I put my trust in Chef Andy's hands. As in, I always try and order something, with ingredients I typically don't enjoy, and see if he can make me like them. Home run almost every time. I hear some people complain about the size of the meals, for the price. People this is not a chain restaurant or a high volume restaurant. It is dining experience, for those who want great time and thought put into a meal. Fresh and local supplies with a good Chef behind the knife. Also what should be noted is Josh behind the bar! I am not sure what else to say about him, so I will leave it at he is a good Mixologist. read more

Warm greeting when entering: check Delicious food with good company: check Not having anyone say thank you while finishing up at table or walking out: check I get more thank yous at McDonalds. :0( It's the little things. read more

I cannot stress enough that if you are in the area, you need to eat here. I have been here twice for dinner and had courteous, well-informed service, creative and delicious dishes, and well-mixed cocktails. The items that they throw together are unexpected and delightful. Typically there is a gnocchi dish which I would suggest as they are melt in your moth delicious! This place in NY would be twice the price! It is nice to have this type of option here in Iowa and their menu is always changing! They also have a "social hour" with great deals on their drinks! Worth every penny that I spent! I will say, my friend did not love the preparation of her meal, but liked it (I believe she had the lamb...). I did not have any issues with the two entrees and two appetizers I have ordered thus far and can't wait to go again! read more

Always a fabulous atmosphere and delicious food. I recommend having a reservation due to the smaller venue. Priced on the higher end for dining in Cedar Rapids. read more

The best restaurant in Cedar Rapids. Sure some may think it is pricey. But if you want a world class experience and know what good food is supposed to be, well then you shouldn't care what your bill totals up to be. Chef Andy sources the best in local produce. He also makes proper house made charcuterie. Ambiance is great. Best wait staff I have ever experienced. Classy and inventive cocktail menu. Do your self a favor and savor the flavor of Cobble Hill. Treat yo self. Huzzah! read more

Went on a Tuesday night on a work trip, the place was pretty empty but expected for a Tuesday night. We ordered the mussels, rabbit, and duck and everything was delicious! The mussels sauce was super flavorful and the sourdough bread was soft and chewy, perfect for dipping. But seriously I could drink that sauce. The duck was cooked perfectly, crispy skin and medium rare inside. My coworker got the rabbit, which we liked better than the duck but he wasn't too keen on sharing given it was so tasty. Ended with the smoke and rhubarb dessert, first time having smoked ice cream and still in the fence but fun to try! Dare I say my favorite restaurant in Cedar Rapids? read more

Excellent, creative entrees. Great presentation. Delicious craft cocktails. Pricing is what you would expect. Servers are knowledgeable and friendly. Atmosphere is intimate and romantic, but slightly too dark. One should not have to use their cell phone light to see what they are ordering and eating. Did not like leaving a voicemail to place a reservation. Would like to be able to go to their website, peruse the menu and do reservation online. Still, none of that deters us from looking forward to another experience! read more

Arrived early for my reservation so we went to the bar. First experience was the bar tender who was amazing and crafted some fine cocktails and was pleasant to talk with. Then our table was ready. The waiter was nice and we noticed how informed the entire staff was with explaining menu items. Ordered a appetizer that was recommended by the waiter. It was amazing the name is hard for me to spell but consists of duck house made sausage white beans and a parsley bread crust crumble. Our dinners arrived my wife ordered the sea bass I had the flat iron beef. Again words can not describe the quality of food and service. One word to describe tje entire evening. . Amazing so proud to have this place in Cedar Rapids. read more

You walk through the curtain and you are no longer in Cedar Rapids, but Chicago or maybe New York. The atmosphere is like nothing else in CR. Everyone is so friendly and greet you with smiles. The food is outstanding and fancy. Almost too gorgeous to eat! This is a fine dining restaurant so be prepared to pay prices for the fine dining . You won't be disappointed. read more

Been to Cobble Hill multiple times now, every time it is delicious!! Highly recommend. Feels like you are in a much bigger town with the food selection, wine selection, and ambiance.

I'm from California and i was in town for my Mothers 80th Birthday. It had been a very long time since I had seen my family. I wanted to find the perfect resturant that would give my Mother and Sisters to experience a "fancy" dinner. Since my family would never imagine or consider taking themselves to a nice restaurant, I knew if my Mother saw the menu she would feel really uncomfortable and guilty if she saw the prices since they apparently are huge fans of Hardey's. So, I called the Cobble Hill and asked if they could print up some menus without the prices so, that they could order without any knowledge of the price. It turned out to be a brilliant idea! We ended up having a lovely meal, wonderful wine, and the service was magnificent. We took pictures of all of us and, enjoyed the entire experience of Cobble Hill. If I were a resident of Cedar Rapids, I would frequent this restaurant weekly. Thank you, Cobble Hill for making my Mothers 80th Birthday memorable, next time I'm in town, I will return. read more

Outstanding service and food is the reason to dine here. The duck was perhaps the best duck I have ever eaten and my companion simply loved the tender pork shoulder. Be prepared for an expensive but worthwhile meal that is well prepared and presented. Cobble Hill can get crowded so be sure to make advanced reservations. This establishment is possibly the best high quality restaurant in Cedar Rapids. If you are looking for that special dining experience and don't mind spending the money, this is the place to go to. If you can navigate the confusing maze of streets that has become downtown Cedar Rapids, this restaurant is worth the trip and the price. Highly recommended. read more

What a cute place! Serves sustainable, local food - all really fresh tasting. Everyone in our group was happy with their lunch order. The duck salad sandwich definitely looked the best. I tried the soup special (gazpacho) and it was excellent. The salad I had was ok, kind of boring. If I went back, I would definitely try some of the other things on the menu. The dinner menu looked really good too! Very good service. 255/365 read more

Unbelievably perfect. Seriously. And not pretentious at all - just perfect drinks, perfect food, perfect service. I'd heard great things about Cobble Hill but we don't get out real often thanks to our two munchkins so we just hadn't made the rounds yet. Now I'm not sure we'll ever go anywhere else whenever we find ourselves an elusive date night. Pre-Dinner Drinks: I had a Rhu-Barbie World (El Mayor blanco tequila, rhubarb syrup, vanilla bean, cardamom bitters) - I expected a bite from the tequila but I was shocked to find how SMOOTH this drink was - no harsh tequila flavor whatsoever! The rhubarb and vanilla bean garnish were so beautiful and tasty. Husband had a French Oak Old Fashioned (Old Forester bourbon, demerara syrup, orange blossom water, bitters) and we loved the presentation of this drink. Amuse bouche was a smoky hummus with green strawberry, (something else?), and micro greens - it was the perfect little bite, a burst of interesting flavors to start our fantastic meal! Appetizer: Chinese Five Spice Pork Belly - so perfectly well cooked and tender, not to mention flavorful and complex. Delicious! It has totally inspired my husband to try more Asian food (finally!). Entrees: Husband had the Grilled Niman Ranch Flat Iron with red and white quinoa and asparagus. This could not have been better prepared. He ordered his steak medium-rare (much to the delight of our fantastic, knowledgable server) and it was cooked to perfection. This steak just melted in our mouths! The quinoa was great too and I was told I need to figure out to prepare that at home - ha! He ordered a glass of wine to pair with his dinner, but the name escapes me - all I know is it was recommended by our server to pair with his entree and he commented several times how perfect everything was together. I had the Chorizo Stuffed Amish Chicken with masa dumplings, black bean purée, lime pickled radish, roasted spring onions, and cilantro. Sweet Jesus, those blue corn masa dumplings. And that chorizo stuffed chicken. I tried to get every component on my fork for each bite because it was just so perfect together. It was like an adventure in my mouth. Rick Bayless would love this dish, I have no doubt. Dessert: We had the Strawberry and Rhubarb dessert with ricotta, rhubarb compote, Thai basil, and rhubarb gelato. Oh and these amazing little heavenly crouton-like cake pieces that soaked up the rhubarb compote. It was like the most amazing strawberry-rhubarb shortcake-ish dessert ever. SO GOOD! And so light too - it was perfect for us to split and we didn't feel like we over-indulged. We also had a Riondo split bottle of prosecco with dessert, which complemented the strawberry and rhubarb flavors so well. When we received our check, we were given a sun-ripened strawberry fruit chew - it was like a grown up fruit snack that you'd never, ever want to share with your children. It was a perfect little bite to top off such a wonderful, special meal! Before we left, I was already texting friends about how amazing everything was and that they need to come try this Spring menu ASAP. I highly, highly recommend Cobble Hill and I cannot wait to return! Next time, we plan to sit at the chef's table or out front in the beautiful, quaint patio you pass as you walk in. Edit: Nina was our server. She was awesome!!! So attentive but definitely not annoying or overbearing. She was knowledgable about the menu, both for food and drinks, and was so helpful when we had trouble making decisions. In addition to being an all-around phenomenal waitress, Nina asked me right off the bat if we were on our way to a show after dinner, which we were. She expedited the ordering process and our food and drinks were promptly brought out to us. We enjoyed a slow enough pace, yet we got out of there with plenty of time to spare. I couldn't have asked for a better server! We will be requesting her again and again if she's available. read more

Cobble Hill Restaurant - Chorizo stuffed Amish chicken with black bean purée, masa dumplings, roasted spring onions, lime pickled radish, and cilantro. Amazing! - New American Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

We ate here last night for the second time. I loved it! I had the scallops which were combined with ingredients that made them amazing! Hubby had steak and felt the same although he's more if a meat and potato guy and I'm the foodie so I would rate it much higher then he would but he knew that going in. It didn't feel like we were in CR at all! Rustic brick walks, industrial chic lighting, and reclaimed wood like tables. And a mixology bar where I had an amazing herbal gin drink. Met the wife of the husband wife team that own it, and she was very sweet. Server was very knowledgable. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great food, and a very intimate and friendly atmosphere with an open kitchen to make things exciting. The drinks are interesting with various tea infusions, while a full bar and a creative menu keeps the appetite hungering for more. From a native Angeleno, CH is a gem. read more

Treasure in Cedar Rapids! .... If I lived here it would be a regular indulgence as they cook, serve and please like a restaurant should.

Enjoy your treasure CR. read more

So Great. For those from parts of the country that know what good service and great food and cocktails are, Cobble Hill will match the best. I miss my Seattle haunts, but prohibition era cocktails and small, thoughtful plates abound at Cobble Hill. Easily my favorite spot in Cedar Rapids. It has clearly been too long since I have been - I can only recall the squid-ink pasta I had last time. The cocktails may have had something to do with that, but I am fine with it - when they are good, I tend to indulge since most bars in town look at me confused when I ask for bitters for my whiskey. I like to throw a collar on, but if I were just in for a seat at the bar and a couple of cocktails with friends, I would be fine with less formal attire. read more
