"Formerly located in the Western suburb of Clive, Table 128 has been transplanted. As of its reopening in May 2024, it’s thriving downtown. Chef-owner Lynn Pritchard is famous for his so-good-we-could-swim-in-them soups, a Brussels sprouts salad that has converted countless picky eaters, and the soft, buttery mini sea salt-chocolate cookies that are delivered warm at the end of every meal. Chef de cuisine Jacob Demars, general manager Garrett Dotsch, and bar manager Jake Humburg have joined the band, and alongside Pritchard, the leadership team has crafted thoughtful lunch and dinner menus that will delight everyone from the adventurous eaters to the meat and potatoes crowd. “Table 128 has the most excellent Caesar salad,” Booz says, noting that she hasn’t stopped thinking about it since she first tried it several weeks ago. Wash down your salad and entrée (get the risotto carbonara) with a glass from Dotsch’s impressive wine list or one of Humburg’s innovative cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks." - Karla Walsh Karla Walsh Karla Walsh is a freelance writer based in Des Moines, Iowa.
