Restaurants near Motel 6 Des Moines East - Altoona

Honestly the wait staff was great and kind, they just didn’t have many food options left and they kept bringing wrong drinks to the table. With as busy as it was and how large our party was I felt they did do a fantastic job and that aside, everything else was exceptional.

Food was excellent, great service. A great place to go but especially over the holidays. We’ve been to Fresko before and will return.

Ashton was very attentive and did an excellent job as our wait staff. The restaurant was quiet, tables not crowded together so we could have nice dinner conversations without yelling. The only complaint was in the temperature of the meats ordered. The prime rib was ordered “medium” (pink throughout) but was definitely medium-well and closer to well done. One filet ordered medium-well came out medium-rare. The kitchen corrected the filet, but we didn’t ask for the prime rib to be redone. All in all a good experience; we would go back!

Delicious food, excellent service and staff, and a beautiful atmosphere. My only wish is that there were more dessert options with less nut ingredients (for those who can’t have them; this made the dessert menu very limited). But the appetizers, dinner, drinks, environment, and superb customer service still made the dining experience 5 stars!

Food was excellent. Appreciated that we were offered smaller portions (at a reduced price). Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Made every effort to assure us a pleasant dining experience. Definitely recommend for a special night out.
