- EErikPhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur booth for four at the window was very comfortable. The waiter, Erik, was very attentive, knowledgeable and responsive with a comfortable manner. The hot toddy and wine was excellent. The French Onion Soup was perfection. We ordered Venison, Pork Chop, Scallops, carrots, salad and pomme frites (great French fries) . Each dish was perfectly prepared and the sauces excellent. Shared Apple Crisp with ice cream for dessert was just the right finishing touch. We recommend this restaurant for an excellent quality dining experience.More infoProudfoot & BirdPrice: Very Expensive• Global, International• Des Moines•4.7

- DDorothyVIPLake of the Ozarks •2 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 10, 2024So delicious, plus felt like a family experience with all of the staff! We were visiting for my birthday, and upon entry I was greeted and wished happy birthday by two employees, and our waitress, and even while leaving after such a great meal and drinks (and birthday tiramisu), they remembered me out of all of the guests on that busy night and said to enjoy my birthday once again on our way out! Was very thoughtful, we will be returning for sure!More infoBaratta'sPrice: Moderate• Italian• Des Moines•4.5
