Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Des Moines

We had great service but the noise of the being sat near the kitchen was was invasive to our conversation. We both had one of the specials and the food was presented well. I would go back again but be asked not to be near the kitchen.

We went for their $29.99 Surf 'n Turf special. Our server was great, but they seemed to be a little short-staffed. Our food was all great except for my steak. My wife and I both ordered our steaks medium-rare, but mine seemed medium especially when compared to my wife's. I probably should have returned it. Still, Anthony's HomePort remains one of our favorite restaurants.

Celebrated 2 birthdays, my brother and my dad. It was my dad's 1st heavenly birthday so it was bittersweet. All staff were kind and sensitive and treated my family and I well. I'd definitely come here again.

We've enjoying Paolo's Italian for over 25 years and are never disappointed. The menu is always rich with choice, the service attentive and helpful, and the food wonderful. When Paul is there cooking, you can taste his talented hand in the result.

I made a reservation for my party of 8. It was a smart move as there was a pretty busy dinner rush. With our reservation, we didn’t wait that long which was nice. This place was pretty great overall. First time going to this restaurant. They have so many good choices and it was hard to pick especially for my husband. I got the lobster and shrimp linguine and he got the coconut shrimp tacos. Both were so good but I most especially liked the tacos. Crunchy, and the salsa was pretty bomb. Pasta was great too. Sauce and protein on pasta was a lot. Pretty big serving I would say. Service was quick as soon as we ordered food. It was busy dinner crowd but the servers were on top of it. I definitely will come back.
