Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Des Moines

What a beautiful setting! I can’t wait to go back in the summer! But even on a rainy day, this was worth the drive. I was surprised that the didn’t have valet though. The food and service and cocktails were great. Definitely a thumbs up from me.

Back for the Sunday Brunch Buffet! The crab, shrimp and oysters were all delicious and high quality. Great omelette and pasta station options too. The prime rib was ok, along with the ham, but nothing special. Best to eat seafood at a seafood restaurant! Get reservations well in advance!

It was a nice bday dinner with family. Quick seating. Menus and offering of drinks and apps first. From order to food delivery was 20 mins. It was truly quick. Food was amazing and hot. Harissa glazed salmon, cedar plank salmon, Mediterranean chicken pizza, seafood Alfredo, bolognese

Booked our table a month ago, was really excited to visit, The pink door doesn’t let us down. The Food was soooo good and we definitely ordered too much for two, we went straight with 4 Fresh Northwest oysters, Bagna Cauda(Hot Bath), Squid Ink Tonnarelli and Mama’s Meatballs; end up packing it for dinner the night as well, but it was so satisfying. Bagna Cauda (Hot bath) is the most amazing, knowing it’s just a “dip” for veggie, however, it’s different —- you have to try it to know how good it is.

We had aa late afternoon lunch at Dukes today. Our server was amazing. She allowed us to settle in before asking for drink orders and she continued to provide exceptional service during our experience. Today was great!
