- AMAnnieMIowa •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023We had an amazing waitress who shared a “calmer” menu for my daughter who likes blander foods. Her Mac n cheese was perfect. We had a nice time and did not feel rushedMore infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - ClivePrice: Moderate• American• Clive•4.7
- OTOpenTable DinerOrlando / Central Florida East •7 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023Receptionist very friendly and pleasant. Our waiter was exceptional and attentive checking various times to see if we needed anything else. The meals were excellent with the exception of my steak which I ordered medium but it was almost well done, after requesting a new steak it was prepared just right and it was delicious. Manager went above and beyond and compensated and didn’t charge me for my steak, I was expecting to still pay for my steak but it was a happy surprise. I will definitely be back next time in town and will highly recommend.More infoFirebirds Wood Fired Grill - West Des MoinesPrice: Moderate• American• West Des Moines•4.4
