Again I am breaking new ground with a Restaurant Review. We enjoyed this place in Des Moines over the weekend. The atmosphere is reasonably good, with lots of wood, dim lighting, and a comfortable temperature. It was a bit loud when we were there, but it was a Saturday night at 8 PM, after all.
This restaurant allows you to bring your own wine, so we brought a St. Croix and another bottle that I forget, although it was a decent wine as well. We had the cheese course, and really enjoyed the strong Gouda, cut into french fry shaped morsels, a Burgogne cheese that was to die for, and another which I unfortunately forget.
In particular, the Burgogne cheese, on a bit of crusty french bread, followed by a sip of the St. Croix was an unbelievable experience. The cheese was great, and the wine brought out even more flavor.
I had the seared scallops, which were awesome - large, plump, juicy, warm through and through, with a great sauce and bed of butternut squash. This was an unusual selection but I could not resist trying a creative squash entree.
Cost was about $80 for two, and we strongly recommend this restaurant.
