    10 oz prime rib with garlic and gouda mashed potatoes
    Jenna H.

    Went to Spencer's for a family birthday dinner on a Friday night . Most of us had prime rib and it was great. Cooked to perfection, warm, and tender. BUT.. the dessert stole the show. The oatmeal pie came out still warm with a side of cinnamon ice cream and I truly mean it when I say it's the best dessert I've ever had at a restaurant. Our whole table dug into It so quickly we didn't get any pictures. Just trust me- order it!

    The place is great, the apps arrived in a timely manner and the waitress was nice and polite. We got our drinks pretty quick, the only complaint was that the two DIFFERENT mules I ordered tasted exactly alike hmm

    10 oz Ribeye ($18) (Well done) & Baked Potato: Perfect Steak, Great Potato
    Donna W.

    We went here for date night tonite. Very busy tonite, very loud, very hot in the building. We ordered drinks at the bar to wait on our table. Amerrato Sour was good. Hubby had Bud in bottle. Got to our table before drinks finished. We ordered the Boneless wings with Buffalo sauce as an appetizer. These were very good. The Ranch sauce tasted like it had mayo in it though. I had the 10 ounce Ribeye (well) & Baked potato with side salad with Ranch dressing. Steak was perfect, as I like my steaks very well done. A1 Steak sauce was watered down. It's usually thicker. Potato was as to be expected, served with butter & sour cream. I thought it should of come with a roll but that's my opinion. ($18) The salad was iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, 3 croutons, & 2 small onion pieces. The Ranch dressing again tasted like mayo with ranch flavoring. Did not like it much. (Salad was included with the meal) Hubby had the Fish N Chips. He said fish was great but only got maybe 10 small steak fries & were plain & not flavorful. Either the plate is to big or the plate should be filled, especially for the price. ($14)

    What a great addition to Crestons dining experience! The food and service has been great so far. I have tried the Steak Oscar which was a Ribeye with asparagus and hollandaise sauce over it, the steak with that combination had a great flavor together. I recently went with my family and split a Prime Rib with my mom and still had left overs to take home! We also ordered the Avacado Egg Roll appetizer that was very good and had enough for four people to try. They do have a kids menu and my daughter loved the spaghetti! When we ordered the chocolate milk, they came to let us know they were out and had someone run to the store to get it, instead of just asking if we wanted another option (which I would have been fine with) and they had my daughters chocolate milk within a few minutes! What great service! The flavor of the Prime Rib was delicious and it was so juicy and tender I could cut it with a fork! Definitely the BEST Prime Rib I have had so far! The garlic gouda mashed potatoes were delicious and had a great flavor and not overwhelming with garlic (the potatoes and soups could be a little warmer) and the house dressing for the salad has been very good as well. The remodel of this building looks fantastic and has a great classy vibe to it. There are nice high backed booths, high and low tables to sit at and a full bar as well! The t.v.s had a fireplace playing on them and there was nice classy music playing. It was very clean inside and had very nice restrooms as well. The menu had steak, chicken, seafood, pastas and sandwiches. They offer daily specials and are open Tues-Sat for dinner. For the parking there is a few street parking spaces but other than that you might have to look for a space across the street from the building, but nothing would be a long walk! One time there was a red cinnamon apple slice on the plate, that was a nice little addition to the dinner and very tasty. One thing I wish they did have would be some bread while you are waiting or with the meal. I have also tried the Oatmeal pie with cinnamon ice cream, that was AMAZING!!! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

    Before you read the novel below, I will summarize within the first couple sentences…read more We had heard about this small hole-in-the wall place and read rave reviews prior to reserving our table for a birthday celebration about a week in advance. We reserved for 4pm on a Sunday. 2 stars instead of 1 because 2 out of the 5 steaks ordered were cooked as ordered and were delicious. When we arrived it was to our surprise it was empty..no one else waiting/seated at the restaurant. It appeared to have one employee working, who happened to be the owner it turns out. We were seated and asked for drink orders and brought cans of pop, and told that Dr. pepper would have gone bad before it could get used so they didn't carry it. No big deal. Ordered a full spread of appetizers, didn't receive one item, asked about it and it was made and brought out. No big deal. Drinks were empty almost the entire time despite being the only table in the place and we were hardly checked on. Everyone ordered Rib Eye steaks except kids and one person ordered sirloin. We were told he was out of 10oz, so had to "upgrade" to a 12oz. All steaks were supposed to be medium rare. We were still the only people at the restaurant at this point...40 minutes later. The kids' items came out first, smart move. Then came my 12 oz steak which was burnt on edges, about 1/2" thick, and Well Done. Then, out came the 16oz rib eye and it was 3/4-1" thick, juicy and cooked to medium rare. As ordered. Then came my husbands steak, a 14oz cooked medium well and also about 1/2" thick the lobster tail was probably a 2oz tail and served meat side down on a leaf of lettuce...cold in the center. Then came the other 14oz that was about 3/4" thick, juicy and undercooked. Then came the birthday girl's 16oz and it was about 1/2" thick and well done. At this point, it was no longer a maybe because the 12oz was smaller it was over cooked, but a do they even know how to cook a steak? When I addressed the issue, I was told " Well, I cook on the plus side of what people order because some people say one temperature and mean another." I said "well, medium rare to me means warm red center. " He left and came back stating "I only have one steak left, so...." Just walked away. No apology, no explanation other than what was said. A table of 3 showed up about 5:30 and his attention went to them. We are business owners and know staff/supply shortages are real, we get it. BUT there is absolutely no excuse for the lack of service/explanation especially when charging over $20/$30 from a so called Wagyu bloodline that was over/under cooked 4/5 steaks. All he had to have said was, "hey, we are short staffed I am by myself, bare with me. I'm sorry it wasn't cooked to your liking, can I throw it back on or get you another/something else in its place?" But when you dismiss a complaint, offer no explanation, don't care to strike up a conversation with customers or even thank them for coming in there's a bigger issue. Especially when you shut down your Facebook page's option to leave a review after a message was sent directly to you regarding the service received is ignored. Something tells me maybe this wasn't the first time, maybe it wasn't an "off" night. Either way, reviews can still be left on other platforms and will be. We are not typically hard to please, be friendly, keep glasses filled up, bring us what we order and you receive a very generous tip and review. This was not the case here and people have a right to know what could happen during their visit especially since it seems any negative review is reported or replied to with a snarky come back.

    Bravo!! All round,…read morethe classy steakhouse hit every mark. We left happy and more than satisfied. Located in a grand office building, walking through the restaurant doors, we were met with a dark, warm and inviting room. Dark varnished wood, touches of green accents and a giant brass bull, create the perfect backdrop for a fabulous meal. We had 2 servers that could not have been more helpful. They were so sweet and worked in unison to care for our every need. Every aspect of our meal was perfect. The warm sourdough bread was soft and crunchy. The special lobster bites were crunchy. The steaks cooked perfectly. The sides were better than usual. But our desserts finished with perfection. The cream poured by the server, the extra rich ice cream and my soufflé were all masterpieces.

    This is a great date spot in the heart of downtown Des Moines. While not located on the rooftop (to…read moremy surprise) there is still an ambience of elegance. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We ordered the Delmonico steak with bone marrow butter, sautéed spinach, mac and cheese, beef carpaccio, house bread, and two glasses of Malbec. The food was delicious, with a few notes. The Delmonico is a hefty, 24-oz bone-in steak. We ordered it medium. It came out quickly, yet overcooked. Upon inspection and taste, we expressed concern with our waitress who removed and replaced it with a perfectly cooked medium. After this substitution, absolutely no complaints. The manager complimented us with a beef carpaccio, which was kind of him. It was covered with a bed of arugula, which was a bit more than necessary for the quantity of meat. Stellar mac and cheese, good balance of pasta and sauce, with texture from breadcrumbs. Great eating experience. The spinach was well seasoned, with very strong garlic flavors. A bit of extra sauté time would do a lot for a milder, more palatable flavor. Heavy wine pours to celebrate or Valentine's day dinner. Thank you 801 Chophouse!
