Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Des Moines

We finally made it here after years of walking by the door! The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside. Beautiful decor, great service, live music, and fantastic menu. We got lucky and were seated in the back room with a view!

My family had a perfect dining experience, and we left happy and satisfied. The service, food, atmosphere are unrivaled. The views, of course, are spectacular. I have eaten at Salty's many times over the years, but it just seems to get better with experience. What a gem of a restaurant!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving buffet there with my family. It was very easy to make reservations through OpenTable. Copperleaf is location in the Cedarbrook Lodge. Beautiful location... Even though there were a number of people dining there at the same time, Everything was organized and well planned. Lots of food options available at the buffet. I particularly liked all the salad options they had. The Thanksgiving turkey was perfect. Our table was in a quiet dining area close to windows that overlooked the hotel grounds. The staff were very helpful. They would be the main reason I would return. It felt like a very special place.

How did great experience food was good restaurant had an issue with their heat and called ahead of time to share with me since we had a reservation which I appreciate appreciated

Food was delicious big portions and all had a homemade taste. Sangria and cocktails were also delicious well served and tasty. Will return during the month of October. Server was well aware of our food availability.
