Urban on the Square offers a nice variety to the other restaurants in town. As you can see from my…read moremenu pics, they have quite the variety. Each item has a unique, individualistic flair. The interior is quite comfortable: dark booths and soft lighting. But it is still amply lit. While there is a long bar on one side of the restaurant, at least while we were there, there wasn't any loud bar-type background noise/conversations. We started with the appetizer: Inside Out Crab Rangoon, see my pic. What you see in my pic is a bowl of their house made cream cheese crab Rangoon dip which is surrounded by crispy wonton chips for dipping. The dip had the requisite crab Rangoon flavor. There was ample crab meat and the dip was quite creamy. For our palates, it was too sweet. The wonton chips had the flavor down pat, but were quite greasy. We then shared the Chicken Deburgo, see my pic. These are chicken breasts grilled and topped with mushrooms and garlic butter. The chicken breasts were grilled just right. The mushrooms, while not plentiful, were flavorful. The risotto was bland. But when combined with the green beans, which had a ton of garlic (you can see the garlic in my pic), made a great combination. We also shared the House Angus Burger, see my pic. As you can see in my pic, this burger is a fully sized 8 oz burger and was cooked to order. The flavor of the meat was good. My side choice was their Brussel Sprouts. These were caramelized in a balsamic vinegar reduction, so there was a bit of sweetness. They were also good.

It was our server's first day but he was pretty knowledgeable, helpful, and overall very pleasant. Jack did an excellent job. The ambiance is also really nice. It had the classic retro diner style but still seems clean and cared for. Overall i enjoyed the experience, but I'm more interested in trying their breakfast next time.

Food 3 - shakes were good, breakfast food taste was just ok. Price was a little on the high side. Service 1- would be a zero if the door man wasn't so nice. Main problem was it was my family's 1st time there, I even told the server that after he appeared frustrated that we didn't know what we wanted within 3 minutes of sitting down. If the owners read this, he is a middle aged man with a bald head. He was a real jerk and with all the choices of places to eat in Des Moines, I would talk to him about his attitude, Because I spent $60 on 3 people there and I will not return due the many options of restaurants and the lack of appreciation by your server. I'm mad at myself for tipping him, he should have gotten nothing.

I had the Old Fashioned with brown sugar, orange bitters, angostura bitters, and bourbon. It's pretty sweet and smooth Old Fashioned. Very nice start and enjoyable. Decided on the CFD Burger, a double smash with American Cheese, Shaved Onion, Pickles, and Clyde's Burger Sauce. I really like the shaved onion and it gave the beef a really nice flavor. First bites were very good, but the bun became too much and the sauce in the middle too heavy. Became hard to finish. I had to ditch some bun and would get the sauce on the side. Not terrible, just not my jam. I would get the sauce on the side or try ketchup/ mustard instead. The bun is just really thick and heavy. Just not a good ratio. The fries were just ok for me and not exciting. This restaurant also has the 3% fee if you use a credit card. I checked the receipt and gave a hundred dollars and asked for change. I included a picture of the receipt. I got thirty in cash back, 5 singles, a 5, and 2 tens. I am ok with not giving the change of coins, but rounding it up and keeping the 3% fee made me feel like integrity has went down hill. Yes it's less than 5 dollars and I know the haters will say what's the big deal. Well it's a neat way to make extra cash at the customers expense. They don't remove the fee and they keep a few dollars. That's not an accident and it feels like theft. I had left $12 for the tip, but after a review I left 10% due to dishonest customer service. What's the point of paying cash on these if you still get charged? Some have said it's leftover from the Covid Days. How many restaurants are doing a 3% fee? Yes, I know it's supposed to cover the CC fee, but it is obviously not if you are paying cash. This just feels really crooked and wrong. Yes it is a very small amount, just over $4, but if you do that how many times, how many days, over a year it definitely adds up. Not sure I would go back. No I didn't talk to a manager or anyone. I had a show to catch and wasn't going to ruin a night over a fee and be late. Just be aware of the fees when paying cash. Really feel the 3% fee just makes restaurants look bad and provides more problems than it solves. Why not add a 6% fee for lights and gas next?
