    Food was really delicious especially the bacon Jalapeño cheese dip with house made chips, the ambiance was laid back and relaxing. The service was good the cocktail I had was very tasty.

    Every time I'm in town I enjoy a good pork chop here. The glaze and vegetables vary but I haven't been disappointed. Last night the bar area was really busy with people watching the game so the service was slower than usual. I tried the bread pudding and it was ok but not worth ordering again.

    Ok, this restaurant is in the Marriott in Downtown Des Moines. Checked in around 8:30pm on a Tuesday and wanted something quick but good, hopefully local. Surprising shortage of choices around the hotel. It was a pretty cold December night so I wasn't up for walking many blocks or taking Uber (read - I am a wimp, lazy and cheap - although that is not generally the case - just tonight). Decided to eat at Mash + Marrow. On the scale of Marriott level hotel restaurants, it was pretty decent. The people that work there were very nice and service was decently fast given that it was pretty busy. Got to watch a hockey game and it was not loud at all, but not creepily quiet either. Only a couple open tables. The local brown ale on draft was good (7 out of 10 - I am a brown ale snob) and the salad with apple and chicken was fresh and decent size. (There were a fair amount of fried options (I guess their fish and chips is good) and they have bone marrow - I just don't eat fried food anymore. Trying to train for cycling this summer). All around a decent meal for what it is. On my "Yelp" scale, I have to give it a 3 star given that the food was ok, not lights out or almost lights out. That said, if you want something fresh in an open, comfortable and not too noisy place near the Marriott in Des Moines, it is definitely that.

    This tiny house is giving Des Monies the vibes it's missing…read more.. On a short layover in Iowa, I was looking for good drinks and food without a lot of waiting or being overcrowded. What I found was a little gem off of one of the main roads in downtown Des Monies. Even before you enter this self described "Tiki Bar" you see all the brick buildings, and then you see an actual grass covered roof...yep that's the place and a really nice touch. The interior is equally cool and spacious, you are greeted by the bar area immediately when you walk in. To your right are comfy couches and instagram friendly neon wall signs, with that signature tiki touch of floral patterns and great lighting. The location is connected to a Asian food restaurant, so they get their food from them as you drink some of the most well crafted adult drinks I've had in a while. I came for happy hour on a Saturday 4:00pm-6:30pm. The drinks were basically 2.00 off with discounted food, the menu is limited to mostly chicken wraps and crab rangoons etc. I will say the portions were filling and very delicious. The star of the show was my El Colmillo, a tequila based drink with lime, orange juice, lime. The bartender did say it's all pre mixed, and that day she subbed the tequila with Casamigos, because the house tequila was out. Customer service was great, until it wasn't. Our server was excellent, until a guy came in off break and they seemed to have some tension. She really didn't have that same positive energy as before, otherwise an overall excellent experience. Pro Tip: Take a walk over to "Hello, Marjorie", it's a completely different vibe but drinks there are just as good...if not better. Go see Travis, he is 10/10 at "Hello, Marjorie".

    New speakeasy below hotel fort Des Moines. Went here on a Friday night around 9pm. You are led…read moredownstairs where the bar is. The decor was super nice and certainly have a speakeasy vibe. Most of the seating here seemed to be targeted towards large groups so there wasn't a ton of option for a party of 2. We did not have a reservation so there was only 1 high top area that was honestly super uncomfortable. I would recommend making a reservation if you want a chance to sit at one of the lower chair areas. The biggest issue was the service. It took over 20 minutes for anyone to come over and take our drink order. This is a newer spot so I'm hopeful things can improve. It was super loud and not the most inviting space. Some of the seating was a bit awkward with spacing. The drinks were small but I would expect that for a higher end cocktail. For DSM, I did think some of the drinks seemed a bit expensive. The drinks were okay but seemed pretty weak where they were super juice heavy. Overall I would probably not come back unless I had friends who haven't been and wanted to try it. Super bummed as I do think there is potential here but need to work through some of these issues.

    This speakeasy bar is located inside the hotel fort in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. To get there,…read moreyou will enter the coffee bar, once you walk around the bar, you'll see a velvet rope. Somebody will ask you how many people in your party and then open the wall pantry. This will lead to the stair that goes downstairs to the basement. Bar lighting is dim, intimate feel. There's bar seating, high tops, tables that accommodate large parties and VIP room that has a curtain for privacy. We ordered cocktails that were unique crafted. Bathroom is available, hallway of pictures of people dressed in the 1920s all over the wall. We enjoyed this speakeasy bar and will definitely come back with more people.
