- BBrookeVIPIowa •47 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMy only disappointment tonight was that I had asked through OpenTable specifically that we be located as close to the front door as possible since my dinner companion had difficulty walking with a cane. So instead, we were seated on the opposite end of the restaurant other than that it was absolutely the great food I have experienced before, and the service second to none.More infoFreskoPrice: Moderate• Farm-to-table• Des Moines•4.8
