Best Cozy Restaurants in Clive

Went for our anniversary and couldn't have been happier . Service was great . The waitress even helped my wife pick out a drink . Food was amazing and large portions .

Great food! Everything was extremely good, the lighting, service, drinks all the way down to the last sip. First time coming and will definitely be back again. Only thing I wish that would change was their sides. You can only order sides for the table, not your own. Makes it a bit more pricey, but atleast it was good. I had their Jumbo Shrimp Diablo pasta for the main course, it was divine. But small portion! Hence me stating I wish the sides had an individual option. We ordered their mushrooms for the side and they were so buttery, full of garlic and each one bursted with so much flavor. There was a ton of them! Overall, recommend this place! 10/10. We also ordered their elote dip, which came with homemade tortilla chips. It was cheesy, and delish. Their croquettes were our other tapas (appetizer) & those were so good!! Just some food recommendations!!

We had a great dinner on Valentines Day! It was the perfect mix of quiet, cozy, moody, relaxed with just a hint of fine dining and exactly what we were looking for. My husband had an old fashioned which he said was really good. I had the 5 option charcuterie spread and he had the hot honey wood fire pizza. Both were *chefs kiss*. We will definitely be back!

Wood fired stove for cooking excellent crusted duck & vegetables and other dishes. Lovely vintagey ambiance keeping with the historic nature of Hotel Ft Des Moines. Nice cocktails. Professional, knowledgeable service, also gave us our space and wasn’t sales-y.

We rather enjoy Firebirds. We celebrated my wife’s birthday. Their food is always good. Service good, for the day. Mondays they have half off selection wines which is nice. The prices are slightly high for my liking but apparently not high enough because we keep going back. It’s become a go to for us.
