Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Waukee

It was another great Sunday evening at Louie’s Wine Dive. The food and service was great , but the jazz duo was amazing. You can’t experience this kind of music experience at a restaurant anywhere else in Des Moines …especially on a Sunday night. I encourage you to experience the food and wonderful jazz!

Came for the Valentines Day experience. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very nice. Our waitress was incredible and very considerate. At the start of the meal, she made sure we understood what all the menu items were what they came with and was just all in all very friendly. I definitely would recommend and will be visiting again.

Great food, great experience, we will be back, our go to destination for Gluten Free!

Great food! Everything was extremely good, the lighting, service, drinks all the way down to the last sip. First time coming and will definitely be back again. Only thing I wish that would change was their sides. You can only order sides for the table, not your own. Makes it a bit more pricey, but atleast it was good. I had their Jumbo Shrimp Diablo pasta for the main course, it was divine. But small portion! Hence me stating I wish the sides had an individual option. We ordered their mushrooms for the side and they were so buttery, full of garlic and each one bursted with so much flavor. There was a ton of them! Overall, recommend this place! 10/10. We also ordered their elote dip, which came with homemade tortilla chips. It was cheesy, and delish. Their croquettes were our other tapas (appetizer) & those were so good!! Just some food recommendations!!

Excellent beer options and the food was awesome. Highly recommend!
