I'm obsessed with their local ingredient-focused menu and fun cocktails. They also have a great wine selection. The charcuterie board is probably the best I've had in Iowa! Because our group was on the larger side, we made a reservation about a week in advance and were seated in the side room, which was great! A private space that doesn't feel stuffy. Service was fantastic.

They have a phenomenal selection of wines, especially natural/biodynamic wines, which for us is the first time seeing this being offered in this part of the state. The next closest we've seen is Des Moines, so we were pleasantly surprised! The food was pretty good, fresh and offered a nice variety -- I will say that the particular menu we had the night we came lacked protein/meat, but I imagine it's because they are consistently changing up the menu so maybe next time, we will see more selection of proteins. They also allow you to bring wine for a $15 corkage fee per bottle which is really nice. The ambiance is absolutely stunning -- so much natural light, beautiful modern decor, with lots of plants. Very inviting! We were having such a good time with one another that I forgot to take pictures. So, that just means we'll have to come back again!

Small place with a fun painted modern chic. The smell of a smoker greets you when you walk in (yum!). My friend loves to sit at the bar and he also loves to sit on the high seats, I hate that. Some high seats in some restaurants don't have the crossbar (these did) to put your feet up on and some bars don't have a step or rail to put your feet up on - this is one of them - I HATE that. There were two servers behind the bar, both friendly and informative and happy to help with questions or requests. They seemed to be very busy with to go orders. My friend ordered the smoked salmon pizza. He thought the salmon was too lightly smoked. Otherwise it was very good. We both agreed the crust was phenomenal, top 5 we've ever had. I ordered what the cook called a corn pizza. My friend thought mine looked better than his, I agreed. My pizza was outstanding. Spanish chorizo, local corn, scallions, tajín - the tajín was the coup d'état, it turned the pizza from good to great and as mentioned before, the crust was amazing. They have a core 4-5 pizzas then rotate another 3 special pizzas at different intervals. It wasn't really busy in the restaurant but we did wait 30+ minutes for our pizza. 4/5 will for sure return. The wait for the food and the high seats keep this from being 5/5, the taste of the food is for sure 5/5.
