- OTOpenTable DinerIowa •1 review4.0Dined 7 days agoThe charcuterie was lackluster compared to what I had the last time I ordered it. 2 types of salami and basic cubed Swiss cheese. $13 Asked for blue cheese… got a cup of hard crumbles… extra $3. Won’t make that mistake again. Drinks and flatbread were great as always.More infoNoirPrice: Moderate• Lounge• Ames•4.5
