- UUser348919vipIowa •15 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLaura was an excellent server & made the experience that much better for my wife and I on our anniversary. It was acknowledged & brought up throughout the night. Food was top notch and back to form. Ribeye & filet were perfectly cooked, creamed corn/scalloped potatoes/green beans sides were excellent, but the crab cake lacked the usual crisp. Only other item to point out is this is the first time I was charged the corkage fee & for olives in my wife's cocktail. I don't care, but just odd after all the years. Can't wait to go back!More info801 Chophouse – Des MoinesPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown Des Moines•4.8
