Restaurantes cerca de Stoney Creek Hotel & Conference Center - Des Moines

Reservations were on time. Staff was pleasant, but steak was not good and we felt rushed to finish our dinner/gathering.

We chose a 4m reservation, because weather was blowing in. That left us to chose from either the happy hour menu of small plates, or the main menu. We have eaten here before, so we knew what to expect. There is a well-curated menu of enough variety that we always have options. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable about ingredients, and always ready to make recommendations, if asked. The food is delightfully plated, not overwhelming, in size or seasoning. He had the Alfredo and I had the Scottish salmon with rice. There was enough left from my plate to take a taste home for the dogs, but his was gone. We did get a slice of cheesecake to split for dessert…soft, tender, and not too sweet. Perfect size. As we left, we marveled at how calm we were and how well fed. No pressure, great escape for food and relaxing conversation. But..make a reservation. You might feel silly about it, making a 4pm reservation, but last week we tried to walk in at 5, and ended up going elsewhere. And they have recently changed their hours to make lunches extend to happy hour.

What a delightful experience. The food was great! I do wish they had a wine list of higher end wines as I can’t drink beer :)

Didn’t know that I had to order a “double” martini to get one that was “full”.

Great food, especially for the cost. I got unlimited shrimp and we had lots of their unlimited biscuits. Our water was pleasant and efficient.
