About this restaurant

Kid-friendly
Great for outdoor dining
Neighborhood gem

Sister company of Lua Brewing! Either/Or is focused more closely on the cuisine; seeking to provide our community with intentional, well-crafted, and elevated yet familiar dishes that has something for everyone. Our (soon to be) signature dish is a Fried Bologna Sandwich, prepared in house from start to finish. Until then, our menu features light bites like Spring Rolls and Fried Oaxaca Cheese, composed entrées like Seared Scallops and New York strip Steak de Burgo, and vegan options such as the Cold Buckwheat Noodle Salad and Impossible Smush Burger. The location holds a versatile space, with a playscape for kiddos and families to spend time just outside of our covered patio- a 50 person private dining space - and cozy dining spaces that can cater to the first-date(rs), pre-Val Air crowd, or bikers coming off the nearby trail.

Good food. Great family experience with the large patio and the play area for children. A welcome addition to our options in Des Moines!

Fun and delicious! The food and service were great, it’s pretty loud in there but other than that can’t wait to return. The French Fries are the best I’ve ever eaten!!

I wanted the shrimp rolls but they were out so I got the shrimp ceviche. It is not on the menu. One of the best ceviches I’ve had. The theme and decor is beautiful. Service was excellent. We got Zach and he was amazing! Will definitely be back.

It was a bit more expensive than I was ready for but the food was good and the service was great for how little time they’ve been open! Wish they had smaller beer size options instead of just 16 oz. My kids LOVED the play area.

For a new restaurant on a busy night the service was pretty good. The food was so so. The beers were OK. The parking is abysmal

We had a large party and sat outside for a birthday celebration. We were able to have appetizers, drinks and entrées and then we relocated over by the fire pit to open gifts, etc. it worked perfectly!!

It’s a bit of a wait for drinks and food, not sure why, but food is excellent. Our server was inexperienced but very nice. I love this place and plan to go back!

We enjoyed our evening very much. The restaurant was busy and some of the choices for dinner were not available which was too bad but our second choices were good. We felt the wine was rather high priced. The coconut beer was really tasty. We did split a main course and were surprised that it wasn't split for us nor did they bring a second plate, had to ask for it. Try warming the chips that come with the salsa appetizer!
