It's on the west side, so when we got there at 5, the sunshades were effectively blocking the sun's rays, but by 6 we were in the sun. Just depends on what you're looking for and what time of year, but it is a nice space. We got in our drink orders, and the two ladies in our group had drink questions, so our under the legal age server cheerfully went in and got all their questions answered. Our drinks and food came out fast. They have some items tthat are also available in Valley Junction, and some unique to this location. One in our group got the Meatloaf Meltdown. It was good, but maybe not quite what we've had at the Valley Junction location. Their recipe is great though! My wife got the Protein Bowl with Chicken. The veggies were fresh, and the chicken was a bit dry. Overall pretty good. I got the Sonoma Chicken. That was a clear winner! It was a great combination of flavors that melded together very nicely. The coleslaw was a bit soggy and not all that flavorful, but that was a minor inconvenience. Fries were good. They have a good drink menu, and an OK selection of wines. Service was friendly and pretty efficient. With the sun warming things up, we did move inside for our final drinks. Service at the bar hightops was excellent and the drinks were tasty. It was a Tuesday night and they were either filling up or full the 3 hours we were there. I'd definitely give it another try!

Subject: Unacceptable Dining Experience and Lack of Customer Service…read more I am writing to express my disappointment with both the service and the handling of a billing issue during our recent visit. Our party consisted of 12 people, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from beginning to end. Our server, Susan, made errors with four separate orders. The mahi-mahi I ordered was very dry, and overall, no one in our group was satisfied with their meal. Susan even argued with two members of our party about what they had ordered rather than attempting to resolve the mistakes professionally. We also had to repeatedly ask for drink refills. The service continued to decline at the end of our meal. When Susan brought the checks, she informed us that the tip had already been included in the bill and that we could change the amount if we wished. The included gratuity was $21, which I adjusted to $10 based on the service we received. She asked me if that was correct, and I confirmed that it was. When she returned for my signature, she slammed the check down on the table. This behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable. Unfortunately, the problems did not end with our dining experience. A substantial amount was taken from our account, creating issues with our finances. Additionally, I have a $50 gift card that has not been applied to my bill. I have called the restaurant four days in a row and have repeatedly been told that the manager or owner would return my call. No one has contacted me. During my most recent conversation with a staff member, I was told, "I don't want to hear your story." When I requested to speak with a manager, I was told, "We'll see about that," before the employee hung up on me. I attempted to call again today, but my calls are now going unanswered. This level of customer service is deeply disappointing. Mistakes can happen, but the way they are handled speaks volumes about a business. I expected the restaurant to take my concerns seriously and make a reasonable effort to resolve the billing issue. Instead, I have been ignored and treated disrespectfully. At this point, the only reason I intend to return is to use my $50 gift card, which I expect to be honored. I would appreciate a prompt response from the owner or manager regarding the billing discrepancy, my gift card, and the unacceptable treatment I have experienced. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and addresses them appropriately.

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.

And absolutely cannot forget the delicious cheesecake they brought us for dessert! Obviously the food can be a little expensive, at least for our family, but the staff at Ruth's Chris made sure that it felt like every penny was put to good use!

This could very well be our organizer's fault, not theirs. Wonderful salad, though. They had the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. dished separately. The drinks were great. We loved the Vodka Sodas - with chosen flavors, such as blueberry, Strawberry Basil, Raspberry Hibiscus, etc. There are restrooms upstairs as well.

Friend's chicken salad had kind of an odd texture because it appeared to be finely ground rather than shredded. It said it was basil chicken salad, but the basil was only there as a little hint. The bread was tasty as was the side salad with fresh ranch dressing. I had the lunch special - - two items for $12 or three items for $15. I had their tasty fries with a half turkey and Swiss. The turkey was meh. Kind of like reheated. I had requested a different bread than offered, and the waitress was unable to put it in the iPad. However, she did remember and it came out with my preferred bread choice. That's great service! We sat outside & it was a great day! We'll be back with our hubbies!

We all dress to the 10's but there were families, jeans, sweaters, people of all types! Service was great, always had a full drink & water.

I think everyone I was with got something different & it was ALL amazing. Absolutely no complaints. I will definitely be back to try the regular menu & play some golf!

We learned that from the day before, when the front lady completely seemed to ignore us. Anyway, our food was very good, and the restaurant has a very classy, rich vibe. I got the gnocchi, but I feel like the grated cheese on top didn't really go with the pasta. Other than that, it was good, but it's just not really my type. I'd probably skip this one. Since I didn't eat much of it, I got the kids' Alfredo pasta. WOW. Chef's kiss! That was the best Alfredo I've ever had. So cheesy and saucy--definitely a MUST. The complimentary bread was also very good, but the texture made it seem like it definitely wasn't fresh. It tasted a little old, but I still ate it . My family loved their food, and the chicken was absolutely delicious. Overall, definitely a spot you should try!

Service 5/5 Food 3/5…read moreAtmosphere 4.2/5 We had a reservation for 21:00 on a Saturday evening. Our server was welcoming and courteous, but they were understaff for hosts it seemed. We were given a complimentary bread which is not pictured in my photos. For the most part the bread was already warm and not freshly made. It didn't come with butter but olive, cheese and chili flakes were provided at the table. That bread was a 2/5 given the texture and flavor. Even the way it might've been cooked could improve. The Zelda alcoholic drink was sweet and tangy. I'd recommend it if you're up for it. Bruschetta appetizer kind of disappointed us. Bread was a little overcooked and didn't have much flavor. It came with the cheese, tomatoes and onions. I'd say try a different appetizer instead. Entrees were hot when they came out. Chicken saltimbocca could be best described as rich in flavor. Had a savory chicken and a strong white wine taste to it. The fettuccine Alfredo was cheesy. Ricotta gnocchi had a strong tomato flavor to it. I enjoyed the added cheese to the gnocchi. This was cooked very well and the portion size was big I couldn't finish it. Lastly, The dessert hazelnut brownie tiramisu was cold when served. Easy to put the spoon into. Strong hazelnut flavor and great mascarpone. The bottom half has the brownie part to it. It did have some nuts at the top. The server checked on us enough but not to the point where it was overwhelming. Again they could improve on their beginner bread and bruschetta bread.
