    The mixologist on staff was very knowledgeable and helped my wife pick her new favorite wine. They also showed me a new drink that is now in my top 5. The food was great, they took detail in the fact it was our anniversary. New to Des Moines area. It's definitely going to be one of our top picks for when we go out. Also excited to try the one in Denver.

    Another excellent dinner at Prairie Canary! We had the NY Strip special with truffle fries and fresh asparagus. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted great! Our guests had the Thai Curry Shrimp and Parchment Mahi-Mahi, and they also commented on how good the food was for them. For appetizers we had the Vietnamese Egg Rolls and the Brussel Sprouts. I do not really like Brussel sprouts and yet I really liked these. The egg rolls were crunchy on the outside and yet soft and delicious on the inside. Our server, Allie, got our order 100% accurate and timed everything, plus kept our drinks refilled and checked in at just the right intervals. She was friendly, answered all our questions about the menu and served us with great hospitality. Our guests asked on the way home - how soon will we come back? I assured them it would not be too long!
