    Welcome to Ankeny's Newest Gem: A Tribute to Fine Dining! We are the lucky ones! I was invited by a friend to the soft opening of Tribute Eatery and Bar, located in the former 30hop space in the District at Prairie Trail in Ankeny. It's a perfect corner spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. You enter to an inviting reception area that is nicely appointed with classy lighting and clean, contemporary decor. The owners (who also own 30hop) have completely revamped the place with a fresh and clean look, transforming the interior from its previous iteration as 30hop. We were quickly greeted and seated at our requested high-top for four. Upon seating, we were immediately recognized by Samara, the general manager. She has a cool and important-sounding title, but she was very courteous and welcoming. She knew our friend Brian, who had invited us along. This was a nice personal touch and you could tell how excited she was to be opening in this new location! Soon after, our server, Kylie (I hope I remember her name correctly), came by and gave us the scoop on the menus. We all ordered a first round of drinks and a couple of appetizers to share. The drinks we tried throughout the evening included the Bonded Manhattan (Excellent), Violette Squeeze (Pretty and also excellent), Paloma Rosa, Prickly Pear Margarita (tasty) , and the Strawberry Basil Mule (We got 2 of these, delicious) . They were all very well crafted and I would order any one or two of them again! For appetizers, we shared the amazing Deviled Eggs, which were not only fun to look at, they were perfectly creamy, with a nice touch of prosciutto. The General Tso's Broccoli, while not overly impressive to look at, was packed with delicious flavor. For dinner, we ordered Sam's Rigatoni, Seared Scallops, Tribute Roasted Chicken, and the Steak Frites. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and the execution was flawless. I was lucky enough to order the scallops, and they were fresh, clean, and melted in my mouth, just as I'd hoped. The corn purée was a perfect partner. I did not share! However, I did get to try the roasted chicken and the steak, and everyone at the table was extremely happy with the quality and taste of their dish. So was I! We didn't have any dessert, but the menu items looked amazing, as did their intriguing daily specials. We look forward to returning soon to try more of the menu.

    Food and service was absolutely amazing. Had dinner after my son's ISU graduation. Was a perfect spot to celebrate a wonderful day.

    I went to an appreciation dinner with colleagues on Monday night. This was my first visit to…read moreDistrict 36. We were hosted in the private room on the west side. There were about 30 people in our group . They had already ordered the table appetizers before I arrived consisting of The Deviled Eggs with bacon, Artichoke Spinach dip and Crab Rangoon dip. All were delicious even though a bit cold from sitting for a while before they got passed around. We had 2 servers that I didn't get names but both were very attentive and managed the group very well . Everyone's orders were taken efficiently, I got the Frutti Di Mare in a white sauce with the seafood bisque soup. The entire dish was delicious with the exception of the bread, it was rock hard, but I didn't need it anyway . The bisque soup came out too cool for my liking but the waitress had a new bowl served at the right temp and it was perfect. I would eat a whole vat of that. The meal was great, shrimp perfectly prepared and fresh and snappy, plenty of mussels and a large portion providing a take home amount that served as dinner the next night too. I also indulged in a key lime pie because if rave reviews. I was not disappointed. Overall the place is elegant and classy enough for a suit and tie but still casual enough for shorts and flip flops. It will make for a nice date spot for an anniversary dinner. By the way this review was not written or touched by AI.

Huge bar, but not a ton of seating. Large parking lot. There is no area to wait and there will be a wait if you don't have a reservation. We waited about 25 minutes for a table without a reservation. Clean bathrooms. Service: Super friendly staff that were rolling with the punches as it was absolutely packed. Food: OH MY GOD. So good, so so soooooo good. The food here honestly reminded me of my time in Ireland, this is the closet I've got to that level of amazingness without actually being there. Even the brown bread reminded me of many meals in County Clare. I forgot to take a photo of the corned beef and cabbage and potatoes but I will never forget them. Perfectly tender, and seasoned. I will dream about this place and hope that some day I end up back in Iowa.

I will say for the area, the portion did seem a bit small for the price, but that is the only downside I have! They have an option of seating types from booths, tables, and a bar area. They had sports on multiple tvs so you could watch that as well! The server was super kind and hopeful with recommending various things on the menu. They have a large selection of draft beers as well as unique cocktails. Even some fall themed ones! If you go certainly try the fish and chips!

We had a 5:30 reservation & major disappointment from the kitchen & arrival of food. We waited 41 minutes for our appetizers to arrive. My sushi wasn't cold - which made me feel like it was waiting out for a moment. I will say outside of that my husbands Mongolian beef was delightful. We never received the appetizer we ordered. I ordered the Marilyn Monroe & angry dragon - I would recommend both. To give an example of their timeline - the table next to us got their appetizer within being seated 11 minutes into their arrival & those to the right of us got their entire at the 20 minute mark (average server timeline). The reason given that our order was taking time, was they behind a lot of to go orders. Again, not devastated but for sure not recommending to any friends anytime soon. Also when compensated for this - they didn't charge us for the appetizer we didn't receive (thank goodness?). And then discounted a drink & sake bomb. Honestly as someone who's served for 11+ year an entree at any other location would've been the appropriate gesture. But hey, those combined were around the equivalent of one of my rolls, so sure.

There was a small but steady crowd throughout the night and we had top- notch service from our server- knowledgeable about the menu, attentive in the 'just right way' - carefully observing drinks and not interrupting date night more than necessary. A variety of local And other craft beers were featured although surprisingly not any from Firetrucker next door! The holiday decor was still up but even without it has a warm feel- love the various table sizes and heights and the long bar with a pretty decent offering for cocktails. While there, the bartender was experimenting with drinks and having fun. After recommendations I ordered the French dip which was phenomenal! Homemade bread, warm, generous meat and peppers and grilled onions, flavorful dip . I will say if I ordered again I would ask to have the sauce left off as I am not a fan of horseradish sauce. Still, it was tasty! Side salad as option was super fresh with mixed greens and the house creamy Italian was bursting with herby flavor. my husband had the tenderloin and while delicious- it was 'bougie' and not the traditional Midwest. It was generous and interesting as a dinner option. Would certainly return as the patio is inviting (just not in January)!'

We waited for quite a substantial amount of time for everything. When our food arrived, I thought the taste and proportion sizes in comparison to the price were not comparable at all. I ordered the soup & sandwich. While the French onion soup was nice, it wasn't anything that made me want to come back. The sandwich was very dry and didn't have much flavor. Our drinks were never refilled and it was hard to flag down the waitress to get the check to leave. Personally, I have no desire to return. I felt like I've received much better food and service at other establishments like The Urban Grill. I hope you're experience is better than mine!

Our night got off to a poor start because our table wasn't waited on for the first 20 minutes as there must have been confusion regarding who had the table. I admittedly never recovered, but the company was so darn good I maintained and didn't get pissed. I wish they repaired it earlier. Eric, our eventual server, tried to salvage us, but we were no longer captured by the venue due to the delay. Enjoyed my Chicken Tortellini, liked sampling some of my fellow family members' dishes. I might give them another try, but this visit was not what I anticipated.
