Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Des Moines

Great views, wonderful service and food was outstanding. We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and they had confetti on table and a signed bday card for him! Brought him out a slice of the most amazing cake with a candle. Made the whole experience really great.

Family in from Idaho don’t have many seafood options so when they come to visit, they always want to eat at Duke’s. Steamer Clams were delicious and our server kept the sourdough bread coming to soak up the broth. Seafood chowder was a first time trying (usually have the clam chowder) but this is loaded with seafood (including more clams) in a savory red broth. Stuffed Halibut and Blackened Salmon Salads were well seasoned and since we ate every bite, we didn’t have dessert.

The food is always amazing and the service is great last night only complaint is the wait time to be seated and getting the food even had a reservation! We were there for over 2 hours and it was my Birthday dinner! It was busy being Valentine’s Day and I understand overall food was outstanding as always!

Excellent dining experience. Marco was a great server. The pork chop was delicious as was the Waygu burger. I would highly recommend the Copperleaf restaurant.

First time to Pink Door and it did not disappoint! Everything we had was fabulous, the service was great as was the atmosphere! I felt at times I was in the 50’s with the decor and music which was fun! They even had real candles! We will definitely be returning!
