Look no further than this local establishment! All their products are healthy, no rbts, preservatives, etc. It is the only place that I was able to find duck breast prepackaged and sealed. They have french style rack of lamb, boneless and bone in leg of lamb, veal, duck, rabbit, steak, salmon, mahi mahi, etc. if you are looking to host a party or just cook dood from the farm to the table. What better place to buy and support a local business that offers healthy options of meats. The staff was extremely pleasant and took the time to go over their inventory. Very patient and very knowledgeable. There is plenty of parking and the building is beautiful and clean! I can say that you can have your steak and eat it too! (Pun intended!). I will be back for sure!

We came here to try something new for our anniversary. I'd read through reviews, which were very…read moremixed, and decided to see for ourselves. We've been to Fogo du Chao, which is definitely a very upscale version of this style of restaurant. With the understanding that you get what you pay for, we did not expect something that fancy. Still, this was an expensive indulgence for us - we did not order alcohol or dessert, having only fountain pop and the full churrasco experience. For two people, this was over $100. We live a ways north of Ames, so we had over an hour drive to come. Unfortunately, we were disappointed over all. First, the good: plenty of parking, very clean, cute, spacious - it was not busy, so not noisy. The service was quick and efficient but impersonal. We never had to wait for a drink refill, but never had a, "my name is, and I'll be your server today" kind of person. Everything was very clean. Second, the negatives: We prefer to follow a keto/carnivore-ish eating pattern, so I was very excited to go to a place that seemed to emphasize meats. We did visit the salad bar at first, just to see what was there. We sampled a few of the offerings - the cucumber salad had literally no discernible dressing of any kind. A tomato salad was mushy and mealy. My husband tried the cheesy mashed potatoes and said they were dry and lacking in flavor. There was a pasta alfredo, but the alfredo sauce was ridiculously watery.  The meats, when they came, were merely okay. I don't prefer chicken, but the chicken was good, well seasoned and well cooked, and not too dry. The pork selections were gristly and tough. The beef selections - when they got to our table - were also tough and unseasoned. I like beef in almost any style, and this was okay, but nothing unique or delicious. I could have cooked it better at home. Nothing caramelized or crispy on the outside. Often, we would see the beef come out, and by the time they made a small loop in the restaurant, it was gone before they got to our table. We only got steak once, though we were offered chicken, pork and sausage several times. We had the barbeque beef, and this also was a nice flavor, but this beef was overcooked and very tough. Overall, this was not worth the money to us. I am sad, because I like this style of restaurant, and it is the only one in Des Moines, and I really want it to succeed. However, I've had better salad bar selections in variety and freshness at Chinese buffets, and I could get a huge, delicious steak and grilled shrimp at Texas Roadhouse, Outback Steakhouse, etc., for a fraction of the price. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this to anyone.

We loved our first visit to this joint, let me tell you this is the best steak house I've been to across many states and with my steak house loving family who make it a point to visit all major chains and local spots. That this place is a solo, homegrown Des Moines steak house is incredible, and they are going toe to toe with the giants like Ruth Chris and Capital Grill. Our server was a cut above, pun intended, so knowledgeable and so accommodating. We ordered oysters, delicious bread, filet, t-bone, rainbow carrots and bacon creamed corn and we loved it all. No complaints, no notes. And don't think "why would anyone order carrots?" Because they transformed those colorful babies into a sweet, creamy delicacy you won't soon forget. We brought our own wine for a chunky corkage fee but my parents love wine so it was worth it to them (not me!) My dad accidentally ordered a $40 old fashioned because he picked the most expensive bourbon on the menu, so maybe ask the price before you order some of their more fancy concoctions. But like I said, bring a heavy wallet, an empty stomach and get ready to be blessed by the steakhouse gods in this gorgeous, classy environment.

Apparently Sunday night is the best night to go enjoy this restaurant as they do a fantastic $100 split plate special. The special included a starter (wedge salad), entree (which for us was a filet mignon) as well as two sides and a dessert. We added the seafood tower, which is also a Sunday special for $40. The seafood tower was amazing. It included two scallop Rockefellers, a lobster tail, a ton of muscles and a few jumbo shrimp. The one we opted for was roasted, but they also have a chilled version. The service was absolutely fantastic and the meal was amazing. My only complaint was the drinks in the lounge were a bit expensive before our meal. I had an old-fashioned for $30 and my wife had an Aperol spritz around the same price. The cocktails were very good just about double what were used to paying at nice restaurants in the area. We will absolutely be back to enjoy this dining establishment again in the future, and it will absolutely be on a Sunday as you get the best bang for your buck!

Of course many have selective taste and the spices used as well as custom play a huge role. The greeting was friendly and upbeat. The surround decor was clean and mod with character.
