Awesome Chef’s menu, wine pairing and service!
Great food and service always!
Thank you for your kind words. We strive for 5 star food and service and are happy to have achieved that with your experience at Table 128. See you for your next girl's night out dinner. Best, Chef Lynn and Sarah Pritchard
Quiet night out with my wife. Good food and service. That simple.
Melinda our server was AMAZING as usual!!! She is so fun and bubbly and knows the food and drinks well. We’ve had her now a few times in a row and frankly I don’t think we want anyone else (even though I know they are all great). The food was outstanding, never do we not like something. We always go for something different and it’s always delicious! Can’t say enough - We LOVE Table 128 and their awesome food and service never disappoints! Thank you again for a lovely dinner and night out💜

Nice lunch with girlfriends. Great service and delicious food (... and due to Covid ... they’ve placed very functional clear vertical partitions in the main dining area between tables.) So nice to return to this restaurant with good friends. Happy we can support them ... and happy they are staying ahead of all Covid has thrown at the dining industry.
LIsaB - Thank you for joining us for lunch. "Breaking bread" with friends is the best. We are happy you appreciate our partitions and social distance measures. Your review and support mean a lot. Chef Lynn Pritchard
Perfect night out, as always! Happened to have the same table and waitress as last time, wish I knew her name, she is just lovely! Food was amazing, I dream about the Brussels sprout salad with salmon! Can’t wait to return, always my first choice!
Wonderful! I passed your compliments to the kitchen and front of house staff. Your server was either Jillian or Melinda. Our pleasure to have you and hope to see you soon. Chef Lynn Pritchard

We have always loved our experience at Table 128. Friday was the first time we couldn’t give the whole experience a 5. This doesn’t mean we won’t be back but my entree was cold, I sent it back and while I was waiting had a bite of my husbands steak and it was cool at best. He did not send it back but for a $30+ entree you shouldn’t settle and he did.
We will be back, it’s our favorite place to go when we have a special occasion or just need an outing. Bummed we had our first less than excellent experience.
Your are 100% correct and a big Thank You for reaching out. Please email us through our website or call us at 327-7427 so we can make your next visit with us extra special. All the very Best, Chef Lynn and Sarah Pritchard and your whole team at Table 128
My girlfriend and I had a fabulous meal there. I had duck breast and she had scallops. It was the most fantastic meal we had ever experienced. The wine was perfect the beer was great, and the waiter was very helpful. Cannot wait to go back!!!
ScottM - Thank you for reviewing your experience. It makes us happy to know you had a lovely date with your girlfriend! See you soon, Chef Lynn and Sarah Pritchard and your Table 128 team
Great food & place!!!
....And amazing patrons like you. ;) Thank you for your review and support. All of our Best, Chef Lynn and Sarah Pritchard and the entire Table 128 team
Our waitress was engaging and knew the area well enough to suggest other activities for us to do around town. Food was amazing. We will be coming back for the chefs’ menu and drink pairing in the future for sure.
It was a pleasure to have you! We have many wonderful dishes and tasting menus to come thanks to such kind support as yours. Stay healthy and see you soon, Chef Lynn and Sarah Pritchard

Love this place. We always feel special and enjoy a wonderful meal.
As always the food and service at Table 128 was impeccable!
Always the best! Service is always spot on and friendly. The food is always fresh, tasty and all around fabulous.
Best restaurant in town to send off 2020 and begin 2021!!! Seriously this place NEVER disappoints. Our server - I believe her name was Melinda? (Sorry - I know she just got engaged) She was great too, we have had her a few times and she is always so sweet and upbeat!!! We always try something new and this time was no exception. The shrimp and pork belly was awesome, the chestnut soup was Devine and our entrees - Pork chop and Sea-bass sooo good we both just shared. Honestly I know I say it every time but you have to try this place if you have not already! Happy New Year!
Great food! Everything felt very spaced out and safe. Definitely recommend.
Table 128 is one of Des Moines' best restaurants. Menu changes to feature exciting new dishes. food is expertly prepared. each meal is better than the next. very consistent. Love the brussel sprouts!
5/5 stars! Always amazing service and food! Love the changing menu
As usual, great experience. Front of house is so kind (Sarah) and our server (Jillian) was great. Just a bit slow in refilling water glasses, but that’s unusual for them. Looking forward to our next visit!
Always an amazing experience at this restaurant! Food outstanding and wonderful service. 5/5 recommend and will be going back!
Great waiter. very helpful and attentive. Food was delicious. Relaxing atmosphere.
It was our pleasure to serve you! Thank you for your kind review and please reach out if there is anything we can do to improve your experience. Best, Chef Lynn and Sarah Pritchard
Amazing food, service and ambiance as usual. My absolute favorite place to dine!
I had only been there for lunch in the past but it was the best dinner I've had out in a very long time!
