Restaurants near Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Ankeny

Our experience began with a polite gentleman who asked our reservation name then politely had us wait to ensure our table was ready. He then seated us and our table was decorated with heart shaped confetti and our menus had Happy Anniversary at the top. Our server Michael was amazing! He congratulated us on our anniversary and asked how many years. He then mentioned that it must have been the nights for anniversary’s, as he had multiple tables celebrating their anniversary. He was so attentive and made my husband and I feel as though we were the only couple in the restaurant. He mentioned speciality drinks and I inquired about wines. I mentioned my preference and he recommended a particular kind. I was willing to try it and ended up ordering a second glass. When it came time to order our meal, Michael explained the aging process of the steaks and was very knowledgeable about it. When we received our meal, our filets were cooked beautifully and our sides were just as we remembered from previous visits (delicious)!! When Micheal brought the dessert menu, my husband and I were looking forward to their cheesecake with raspberry sauce, to which Michael apologized and shared that it was a flavored variety of cheesecake. My husband and I declined on dessert or a dessert beverage. When Michael brought our bill, he also brought a complimentary dessert. It was Carrot cake!! My husband was all smiles. (It is one of his favorites!) When we were leaving the restaurant, we were greeted with a smile and a thank you for visiting and come back again. Overall, our service was amazing, our meal was superb, our entire experience was very memorable and will be back for another visit. Thank you to all of the 801 Chophouse Des Moines for a fantastic evening!! Well done!!

Didn't expect such good dinner in Des Moines on a Monday when many places are closed. Good choices, good delivery, good quality, and a wonderful service (Candice).

Excellent Pizza. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

First time. Excellent from start to finish. Cool decor. Great service. Very good sushi & ramen. Nice cocktail list.

The food was even better than expected. A very nice meal with friends. Not excited about the credit card surcharge.
