Restaurants near Guthrie County Park

Thanksgiving at Cooper’s Hawk was worth it. The flavor of the food was fantastic, the waiter was awesome (shout out to Michael!), and the wine was amazing. Cynthia was our wine tasting expert and she is always a hoot. I highly recommend Cooper’s Hawk any time and I do recommend it for Thanksgiving.

Excellent food and service! A wonderful restaurant we visit often.

Over the years when I was still working I ate many meals at Ruth’s Chris. As a result I am very familiar with their high standards for food and service. We were recently in Des Moines and had the opportunity to eat at the Ruth’s Chris in West Des Moines. The service with Krystal was excellent per usual. The ambience was absolutely off the chart. Beautiful decor and even though they were very busy, we could use normal conversation and hear one another so the acoustics were also excellent. We were celebrating my birthday and Kaitlyn (the general manager) came by on two separate occasions to make sure it was up to our expectations. I told her it exceeded our expectations! If you are in the area, I strongly suggest you visit this restaurant - you won’t be disappointed!

10/10. We had a good sized group, with special requests and several separate checks which sometimes cause issues but everything was wonderful! We had both meals and shared plates, all delicious. Very good cocktails and mocktails. Beautiful atmosphere and very nice staff! Definitely will be back!

Olivia was outstanding. Everything was perfect. Our new favorite restaurant in Des Moines.
