Started off with a cranberry juice which was good but super sweet with way too much sugar.

I got the salmon dish for $20. It included brown rice, red cabbage, guacamole, and some random creamy sauce. The salmon was good enough, but that bed of stuff it was sitting on…. Seriously the most random ingredients that did not go together at all!

Really Airport food is not great. But this was on the menu as Juicy Lucy. No attempt at a cheese in the middle, just cheese in the top. Asked how I wanted it cooked,, medium, got it hockey puck dry black. Served cold, along with cold fries. I won’t bother next time.

A very nice bar and Grill restaurant, especially for being located inside the Des Moines international airport.

Wasn’t a huge fan of the Alfredo pasta. The “garlic bread” was just regular bread toasted in a toaster with butter. The pasta had raw vegetables in it. The sauce didn’t taste like much of anything. Mediocre all around.

Always hit or miss service. Today waited 10 minutes to order a beer – 10 minutes later it hadn’t shown up. Person next to me sat there for 10 minutes with no attention. Person down the bar sat down and got immediate service. Tap list is decent by airport standards, all Iowa beers, definitely way overpriced if not in an airport. Food is fine. Normally it’s an okay place to kill some time before a flight…if you can get service.

Miguel was awesome! He was the only server when we got here on a Thursday morning and he was RUNNING trying to get everyone taken care of. Amazing service and food was great!

With the establishment approx 75% full it appeared to be understaffed. Empty plates, dirty tables and tabs left in many locations when I first arrived. Napkins, straws and food particles on the floor in sight at entry. I sat and waiting a minimum of 3-4 minutes before being greeted. An additional 2 minutes before a waitress come to serve me. The meatloaf was below average and the menu items advertised didn’t come in my plate…if you are hungry this is the only establishment in that part of the terminal…hope you have a better experience! I left no tip…(’TO INSURE PROMPTNESS’) because it wasn’t warranted.

Last Wednesday, I got dropped off at the airport just in time to miss my flight. The airline was able to get me on the next flight to Phoenix, but it was gonna be a 9-ish hour wait.
