Modest food menu but flatbread was good. This is a signature cocktail club almost exclusively. They seemed to struggle with the idea of three of our group sharing a wine bottle.

We were pleased to have our Red Lobster in Ames, Iowa open on Christmas Day as many dining venues were not. We made a reservation and were seated upon our arrival. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and polite. Our waitress told us her family of eight was sitting at the table across from us. Thank you for being our family on Christmas Day!
