    It was another great Sunday evening at Louie’s Wine Dive. The food and service was great , but the jazz duo was amazing. You can’t experience this kind of music experience at a restaurant anywhere else in Des Moines …especially on a Sunday night. I encourage you to experience the food and wonderful jazz!

    Parlor is the best pizza restaurant in Des Moines and maybe the best restaurant overall. The Detroit-Style pizza is amazing. Their cheeseburger and truffle fries are also 10/10. The best pizza on the menu is Sweet Jane: white sauce, mozzarella, gruyere, ricotta, spiced honey, and almonds. Great selection of beer on tap. Great atmosphere. Our server was incredibly attentive, making eye contact with me right away every time I wanted anything. We will be back many times.

    This was our second visit and service was good. Food was fabulous tasting. Prices are just right. I requested to be in a place away from a lot of noise or near larger tables occupied by families with kids since we were wanting to celebrate Valentine’s Day quietly. We were in the corner away from others only thing was we were next to the staff going in and out of the kitchen and you could hear their conversation but it was okay. Not too distracting so we did have a nice evening dinner. We will go back again.
