The steak itself was good, but I honestly didn't understand the cold liquid/oil it was served floating in. It took away from the dish and was not something I expected. The Brussels sprouts were way too charred and burnt, and they were also dry and lacking flavor. Overall, the food was decent, but for what you actually get, I felt it was overpriced. With so many menu items unavailable and the food not being particularly memorable, I don't feel the experience was worth the price

The Green House is my new favorite spot for cocktails-- truly a hidden (in plain sight) gem! What I…read moremean by that is-- The Green House does not reside in the ped mall. In fact it is lives in the shadow of the Chauncey Swan parking ramp and you easily could drive right past it. This labor of love boasts a rad patio, super cool space decked out in oh so many plants with lots of seating options and fabulous cocktails. You don't feel like you're in Iowa City anymore, Toto. It's an oasis! Additionally, the waitstaff is insanely friendly, knowledgeable and gracious. It's open on the daily and has happy hour each day! Huzzah! Happy Hour on weekends (2-5pm) and the weekdays (3-6pm) is $2 off all cocktails, wine, beer and kombucha. The menu has something for everyone-- literally. There are over a dozen beer options, a few hard cider options, handful of signature cocktails, handful of non-alcoholic options, shrubs, bushes (a take on a moscow mule with bush light instead of vodka), all the wines (red/white/rosé/bubbly) and seasonal cocktails. We popped in on a date night on Friday evening. My partner was freezing and got a Hot Toddy. It was wonderful-- you could taste the booze but it wasn't overpowering. I like that it came with fresh lemon slices and herbs to add as desired. I enjoyed the cider-centric seasonal cocktail, The Hemlock. Sublime. I was loving the word play on the menu with bushes and shrubs so we opted to try the Watermelon Habanero Shrub. It was a treat. They don't serve food really (pretzels and macarons are available) but you can bring in your own food, or have it delivered. The Green House will now and forever be my happy hour destination. It fills the void that was left when Clinton Street Social Club left the IC downtown scene-- it's that good. The ambiance, the chill atmosphere, reasonable pricing and the people. You really can't beat it.

It's definitely preference but The Green House has my favorite espresso martini! Strong in both coffee and alcohol so it's a sipper! Less chocolate and more chai and coffee.

It was definitely good and I would return. If you like Harris Pizza, you would argue this is not the best. But I might agree that it is the best in the QC (unless you count Frank's in Silvis as QC, then second best). My husband has the burger and fries and gave a thumbs up. I recommend and I will return myself with friends and family.

The bartender/owner showed us 2 tabs, one for $54 and the other for $42. But charged both of our cards for $54.99 each. When confronted, was very rude and beyond unhelpful. Was told "sorry, we're all human", zero refunds or adjustments given. This is just part of the terrible experience in addition to bigoted comments about the drag show scheduled to take place that night. Highly recommend avoiding this bar.

Was upstairs at a party and they only had one bartender for 50 people! Not good! Why was'nt the manager up there helping? I realize that she was extremely busy and was very patient in waiting for her to serve me, but she kept ignoring me! I had to get my drink through friends! The last time I asked for her to serve me a drink she said that she did not have time! Really! Then they made a last call and I asked a second time and she walkEd away! I'm sorry but this is just poor service! I went downstairs to the bar and bought a beer and told the bartender about the poor service upstairs and she apologizEd. Then the manager came to me at the bar and asked me what the problem was. I told him about the poor service upstairs and how the bartender would not serve me! He asked what the reason was! I said I do not know! I was not unkind! I was not intoxicated. She just would not serve me! He said well there must have been a reason, get the F__k out of my bar! This is definitely not how you treat first time customers! This apparently is not a bar where you get good service and not a professional manager! I will never go back and be insulted again!

There's no sign, just a few windows, and with parking in back, most people use the rear entrance. It wouldn't be difficult to mistake the place for something much shadier than what it is. That's not to say, however, that the Wunder Y is without a hint of shady charm. It's rather steeped in it, actually, a dive to the core. Its patrons have made it into somewhat of an underground Moline institution. I'd never heard anyone even mention the Wunder Y, but once my friends and I finally started making the trip, we couldn't go there without running into someone we knew. For this reason, I like to think of it as my own little speakeasy. It's a great place to run into classmates, your old minor league baseball coach, and people that you thought were dead. They're all down at the Wunder Y. The shuffleboard table is a big draw, and I've seen a few people get hustled with it, insofar as you can get hustled at shuffleboard. But if a couple old guys walk up and ask if you and your buddy are up for a game, it's a pretty safe bet that you're going to get your ass whooped. If you're just a spectator, ask if you can operate the ancient scoreboard. That thing's going to be on Antiques Roadshow some day. I should mention that I once hated the Wunder Y. It grows on you a little bit with each visit, though, like a nicotine addiction or a rash. Best dive in the Quad Cities, which is saying something.
