About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

Our aim is simple - to give our guests food we are passionate about, service we take pride in and a sophisticated, yet casual dining experience worth sharing.

We consider Table 128 to be a truly “American” restaurant honoring many different cooking traditions and interpreting them with our unique creative vision. Our menu changes frequently, offering a mix of new and signature dishes. We source our food from top quality ingredients, featuring a high percentage of organic and local products when available.

We craft all of our stocks, sauces, desserts, ice creams and most of our breads from scratch on a daily basis. We also strive to support other artisanal producers when purchasing wine, cheese and many other ingredients.

As tourists, we inadvertently wound up here the "last night" when Bistro 128 closed its location in anticipation of a move to downtown Des Moines. No matter. This was no somber occasion. The house was packed with local regulars. From owner Lynne's warm hospitality when we arrived to the delicious, imaginative food (I ordered a la carte while Hubby chose the chef's tasting menu so we experienced a nice sampling of menu items) and finely crafted cocktails, we had an awesome experience. We can't wait to dine with you in your new home when we next visit Des Moines. If our first experience is any indicator of future success, we look forward to another enjoyable fine dining opportunity.

We had to come in for one last experience at the Clive location before they move downtown. Food and service was superb as usual and it was great bringing our friends with us who also love Table 128. I had the lamb leg cannelloni which was really unique and delicious. I think it might be the first time I have had a pasta dish there and it did not disappoint. It was part of the chefs menu which was summery and perfect balance of summer. The watermelon gazpacho was so refreshing with the sweetness and salty ness from crispy prosciutto. The Peach Pan A cotta was amazing either goat cheese crumble too. Great last meal in the Clive location. Can’t wait for opening night to come see the new place! Love Table 128 & Cheers to your continued success downtown! 🥂
