Restaurants near Erickson Park

Our favorite place to eat in Des Moines. Delicious food and great martinis.

Was able to make a last minute reservation here on Valentine’s night. Opentable makes reservation so convenient. Made the reservation, drove five minutes to get there, and were seated in ten minutes. The place was very busy. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was on par with a five star restaurant. I have eaten at a Ruth’s Chris in St. Louis and was not as impressed as I was with this location. Definitely worth a visit.

This was our second visit and service was good. Food was fabulous tasting. Prices are just right. I requested to be in a place away from a lot of noise or near larger tables occupied by families with kids since we were wanting to celebrate Valentine’s Day quietly. We were in the corner away from others only thing was we were next to the staff going in and out of the kitchen and you could hear their conversation but it was okay. Not too distracting so we did have a nice evening dinner. We will go back again.

We were pleased to have our Red Lobster in Ames, Iowa open on Christmas Day as many dining venues were not. We made a reservation and were seated upon our arrival. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and polite. Our waitress told us her family of eight was sitting at the table across from us. Thank you for being our family on Christmas Day!

Flatbread pizza was awesome! Service outstanding. We were there early so not busy at all. Bet it's a cool place to be when a smokin' little jazz band is playing!
