My new FAVORITE place to dine! I had the berry Salad and the corn chowder soup. Both were so delicious! My sister had the grilled salmon and fingerlings potatoes. Also delicious. Our waitress was so sweet. I loved the vibe as soon as we were welcomed by the hostess. It is so fresh and chic! We'll be back! read more

We went there on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. Our group of 11 had a reservation and were quickly seated. I dropped a star because the menu has about stayed the same and they were out of one of the chicken dishes and it was only 6 PM. Our birthday gal wanted a simple pasta and they really don't just have that. I had a portobello fries and a hot honey chicken sandwich and both were very good. They were still tasty the next day. Hubby had a pork chop - - and it was delicious just like he remembered. The bread bowl is good and they graciously brought you more. A waitress was good - - she kept the children in the group full of!! It was a nice place to celebrate read more

Three of us had dinner on a week night. We started with the portobello fries. I had the white bean and collard greens soup. And then the fall salad The Portobello mushroom fries were amazing!! Crispy. This is a must order item! I was thinking about them days later! The fall salad with salmon was delicious and a large portion! the side of broccolini fulfilled my green requirement for the day! The panini looked amazing and I want to try it next time. read more

A terrible dining experience. Our food took over an hour to arrive after ordering, arrived incorrect and overcooked and with our appetizer missing. When informing our server of the mistakes we got an "I'm sorry" and no attempts to correct the mistake or offer any sort of resolution. Our waters were also never refilled throughout the two hours we dined despite requesting refills. Will not be returning. read more

Let me start off by saying the ambiance and decor here is BEAUTIFUL! It looked like a luxury cabin vibe with super mindful touches and finishes. They have a beautiful lounge area when you enter that features a warm fireplace and a few casual sitting areas to grab a drink. The staff was all super kind and helpful, as well as professional. I came here for dinner on a Tuesday. They begin with complimentary bread and olive oil, and it was delicious! I ordered the steak and fries which features their daily cut. The day I was there, it was NY Strip. Unfortunately the steak was not up to par, and it was covered in a sauce which I felt was used to cover the taste. I also ordered a side of Brussel sprouts and they did feel previously frozen as well with the other veggies mixed in. The other people I was with enjoyed their dishes, so it might have just been what I ordered or an off night. Regardless, I do think this is the nicest restaurant in Pella area, and would highly recommend for a nicer dinner with friends and family! read more

This is basically the only sit down restaurant in Pella that's nicer. We were there during the Pella Tulip Festival, so we had about an hour wait to get sat which wasn't surprising, and we're were happy to wait. Our server though was either exhausted from the busy time of the festival or doesn't like her job, she made it very apparent she didn't want to be there, and it being my birthday I was pretty bummed out by her attitude. She offered other tables dessert menu but since we were about 20 minutes from closing after lunch we were just presented our check. Our food was great, it did take awhile, but again we knew what we were getting ourselves into! Everything was correct, came out hot, and delicious! If we are ever back in Pella, we would definitely stop back by again. read more

Amazing food! The cauliflower dish was delicious and I'm not even a big fan of cauliflower. I had the farro bowl and that was really good too. We tried three of the desserts. The bread pudding was the best. Just be prepared for it to be super sweet. The crème brûlée tasted very alcoholy and the raspberry pound cake wasn't that good at all. (I'd skip it.) Would eat here again!!! read more

This was an amazing restaurant. The ambiance was incredible and the food even more delicious. We had the best server who was so engaging. She took great care of us and even took the time to show us the private rooms we inquired about during our dinner. Fantastic experience! read more

This place is best spot in town! The atmosphere was so warm and inviting yet also perfect for date nights or business meals. The food was absolutely incredible! Pork cooked perfectly and to pair it with a proper drink. The dessert was the perfect lightness to finish the meal. Also huge shoutout to the head bartender, he and his colleagues dominated the bar calling out and knocking drinks out. It's been a while since I've seen such professionalism behind a bar. I will definitely be back here read more

The best meals in Pella are found at LSK. The prices are reasonable for next level plates with a real chef that takes many of the standards and noticeably upgrades to AAA quality. Hosts and staff are very cool. Specials add variety every week. Strongly recommend stopping by for food or drink when visiting Pella. read more

Vibes: The ambiance was elegant, with modern décor, amazing lighting and with moderate noise levels, so perfect for great conversations. It's perfect for any occasion. Service: The service was alright; our server may have had too many tables, but she did her best. Food: Delicious and most definitely worth the drive from DSM! I started with the Portobello Fries with a side of White Truffle Aioli and all I can say is wow! The flavors paired perfectly with the mushrooms that were fried perfectly. I will drive back just to have those again. The Crab Cakes were the other appetizer, and they were good as well. I tried the Lobster Bisque which was flavorful but had no lobster which was disappointing. For my entrée I the Lobster Penne and Cheese, it had good flavor as well. I did try the Seedlips Crown Mocktail which tasted slightly like toothpaste, I wouldn't recommend. Pricing: Reasonably priced given the value of the food, worth every penny! Location/Parking: Finding parking was tricky as well as finding the actual restaurant. There is only street parking, so I had to park in front of another business. The restaurant is located on a corner inside of the Royal Amsterdam Hotel on the corner with the entrance down a passageway. I would definitely recommend it; I can't wait for the opportunity to go back! read more

I ordered the filet mignon and got that overcooked hockey puck. As most foodies, I ordered the steak to be cooked medium and I feel that it was well done. Also, I don't even think that cut of meat was a fillet. read more

Delicious! I just love the location of this place in Downtown Pella. I like the option for a nicer place to have dinner with my mom when visiting her on a Friday evening. It's a little busy so my mom advised me that we need to get there before 5:30 or we will have to wait a long time to be seated! We got there at 5:10 on a Friday evening and were seated immediately. Great, quick service, and I really enjoyed my chicken parm. They also give a bread basket which is nice too. I always enjoy this place when I visit Pella. read more

My family drove all the way from St. Louis to celebrate a college graduation, and I chose Liberty Street Kitchen based on the strong Yelp reviews and menu options. Unfortunately, our experience was a huge disappointment from start to finish. We arrived as walk-ins and were told there would be a 30-minute wait. That was no issue--we waited patiently and were eventually seated. However, once we ordered, the wait for our food was incredibly long, and when it finally came out, nothing was hot or fresh. The worst part? My brother ordered a filet mignon cooked medium, and it came out completely well-done. The server acknowledged the issue, removed it from the bill, and brought a replacement. But the second attempt wasn't any better--it was cooked medium-well and it wasn't even a filet. It was a roast. Completely different cut, flavor, and texture. After such a long wait and with such poor food quality, it felt like our special occasion was brushed off. I expected a much better experience based on the reviews, but sadly, I won't be returning or recommending this place to anyone. read more

Best all-around restaurant in Pella, IA. The staff is excellent. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The chef-inspired menu is excellent and includes a combination of go-to favorites and things you don't expect. The Iowa Corn Chowder is a favorite, as is the Chicken Parm. When I saw the "beast burger" as the special (combination of ground Wagyu beef, wild boar, and bison) I had to try it. It was amazing. So good, in fact, that it's become a regular on the menu. My wife and I attended one of their geography (Milan) inspired wine and dinner events. It was exceptional. If you're visiting Pella, Iowa - Liberty Street Kitchen is a "must." read more

We were a larger group, 14 I think. Service was slow, waitress was not very nice, and the food was poor. I ordered the burger and was told I couldn't order it medium rare, it's how the chef did it. Well, he burned it and it was over salted. I ate 1/2 of it. The corn chowder was chunky, neither people that ordered it ate it. The 4 French onion soups were ok, but two came out and the next two came out 20 minutes later. When I asked about the missing two soups I got snapped at by the waitress. 3 hours later we were finally served, we passed on dessert. Too bad Pella has no real good dining options for such a nice affluent town. Poor service, poor quality food, and very over priced. read more

Maybe it was because I came at closing and they thought they were at the end of their salt container when making their mussels. But wow! Their mussels dish was SALTY. My fingers were burning by the time I was done with the dish. Great amount but wow so salty. The bread was also completely soaked in butter. So if your body is ready to take on that much butter and salt, then this dish is for you. The corn chowder was good. Service was good. Ambiance was good. read more

Great service, food, ambiance, and drinks! We ducked in during a freezing cold Kerstmarkt at the suggestion of helpful Amber and were welcomed with a warm fire and lovely Sarah who served up delicious seasonal cocktails and appetizers of portobello fries (soo good!) and onion rings. Everything was absolutely fantastic! Portions are large, so order accordingly. Sarah even adjusted drinks to my taste and offered to take a pic for us. A really great experience! read more

Service was good and the food was great! If it wasn't so windy outside, we would have taken advantage of the outdoor seating. This restaurant has a cool vibe! Saw a flyer for an upcoming special Japanese meal experience that would be great to go back for! Prices were reasonable for the quality of food. Definitely will go back when visiting Pella! read more

My wife and I have visited Pella several times but had not eaten at LSK. We stopped in for a quick lunch. The ambiance is inviting. The waitress was very nice and attentive to our needs although she was busy. We ordered the grilled cheese and braised brisket sandwich with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts. I'm not a fan of Brussel sprouts but loved these. The sandwich was delicious and a good size portion. I'm glad we split it. The Executive Chef walked by our table and we were able to talk with him for a few moments. Our son was an Executive chef for over 10 years so we appreciate great tasting food at reasonable prices. A must while in Pella. read more

Excellent service! Excellent food! Excellent drinks! Especially the old-fashioned. If you're in Pella, this is the place to go. We considered going someplace different on our second night here but everything was so good we decided to go back. read more

Wanted a light salad. The heirloom salad was not great. The tomatoes were mushy and the balsamic flavor was almost burnt. There is something crunchy in the salad that I didn't enjoy at all. This is my second visit to this restaurant and I think they try too hard. This isn't cheap so I probably won't be back. Service was fine. read more

We stopped into town and had dinner here and enjoyed it. Very nice place with a little bit of everything on menu. Food was delicious. We started with the mushroom fries that were seasoned and very moist. Also ordered the eggplant which comes with pasta too. Also had great flavor. It's a good place for date night or family and friends evening. We sat at bar, so we were attended by bar tenders which were both very attentive. If we lived in the area, we would come back. It was a great evening experience. read more

This is an upscale restaurant attached to the Royal Amsterdam Hotel. On this night I had the Liberty Burger, which was dry, but still a good burger- it needs more aioli sauce. The farm fries are beef-fat fried which was a nice touch! The green beans were ridiculously good- yes, I said green beans- who knew!! My waitress was excellent as she came around frequently enough to check on me but not too much. The turnaround on my food was pretty quick given the place was probably at 85 percent capacity. Short story is Liberty is worth visiting given the ambiance, drink and food options and the service levels. read more

The restaurant was very chic and trendy, it had a higher end trendy feel to it. The service was good, stopping by frequently to fill waters and make sure everything was good. I had the BBQ burger and was very pleased. I am a stickler for fresh never frozen patty and these were fresh making it one of the better burgers I've had in a long time. My daughter had the French dip and said she liked it a lot especially the au jus. But I would say the stand out of the meal was the portobello fries we started with. They were by far the best out of everything. I will be returning for these next time I'm in Pella for certain. read more

Visited here during Tulip Time...quite the wait, but worth it! Staff was very friendly and there was even a small lobby to sit and wait, out of the rain. Multiple seating options (bar, high top tables, tables), and a neat place in general. It is slightly weird that most of the seating is on the backside of the bar without a view, but it is still a beautiful bar. The food was phenomenal, I would stick with the more casual plates. Fish n Chips was the winner from our table, as well as the Poutine. Fish n Chips was light and crispy, just perfect...and the poutine was smothered in gravy and topped with short ribs. Recommend a cocktail to boot (pineapple jalapeno mule!). read more

This place is pretty good. They offer indoor and outdoor dining. We sat outside on the "river" and the weather was very nice.

Will come back when I'm in town again. read more

Came back here last week with a bunch of co-workers for a meal before a late-night project. Our server was awesome and very aware. I could've just died over their take on chicken fried chicken. The plate was a parade of wonderful tastes that had me rolling my eyes with delight. I was excited to see their selection of teas and several things listed under a 'zero proof' section of the drink menu I hadn't seen last time. We definitely will have to bring date night back by here soon! read more

Excellent service and good ambiance. Food was pretty good but not great. Still a recommend in Pella, but I prefer their Market Street affiliate. Food is more "basic" but better and a less expensive option unless you are looking for a more formal dinner for a celebration, etc. read more
