Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant

The atmosphere here is modern. It's located in West Des Moines near hotels and commercial businesses. I walked in expecting that I would be able to be seated because it was an off time (not even yet 4:00 p.m.) but they were booked for the night. Reservations are definitely recommended and / or required unless you want to sit at the upscale bar to eat, which I did. There is an extensive wine list and a wine shop. The meals are a la carte ... so salads, appetizers, and drinks are all separately priced from the entree. Overall it was a very good meal and I met a nice mixed crowd at the bar including retirees, couples, and other professionals. I had the Trio of Medallions under Steak & Chops on the menu shown.

My son gifted my wife and I a wine tasting for my birthday. Our sommelière Cynthia was a pleasure and was very knowledgeable. We had a great experience.

5 stars isn't enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. We took a chance on a new place for our anniversary dinner and won the lottery. We joined the wine club, had an amazing server, (Jackson H.), amazing wine, amazing experience. After we left, our vehicle had a technical issue and wasn't safe to drive. We met with the GM (Justin Williams) and he was kind enough to let our vehicle stay there overnight till the dealership could come get it in the morning. The customer service of this establishment went above and beyond what was required. What was suppose to be a celebration... turned sour, but Cooper's Hawk eased my mind and I can't thank them enough for their wonderful customer service.

I love this place. I’ve been in bad moods the last few times I’ve eaten here and being there has put me into better moods. The food is tasty and the wine is delicious. Still love this place and the crew! They make CH rock!

The “Leonard Burger” is decadent and meaty with fixings that tantalizes the palate with happily melting cheese that christens a special sauce that is well balanced on a soft bun. Knowledgeable servers such as — Courteous Ashley — is full of brand information that piques your interest in their popular dishes as well as the history of this upscale restaurant, and their curated wine list and “sommelier.” In addition to my flavorful burger, I ordered Lobster Bisque which was buttery and creamy as well as Key Lime Pie served on a graham cracker crust with whipped cream, and a Cucumber Mock-tail. The entire presentation was aesthetically artful. The soft lighting with blue and grey decor tones were very relaxing denoting a top notch sophisticated restaurant that offers an exquisite dining experience.

We had dinner here over the weekend with some friends. I can’t say enough good things about it. Our waiter- John was super attentive and very knowledgeable about the food and the wine. The food came out fast and was very flavorful. I had the blackened tuna and was worried about it being super spicy but it was not. It was a great portion size- I was full but not stuffed. I also really like that they take reservations. Great place and we can’t wait to return!

We had an incredible experience at this winery! The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying a great meal and a glass of wine, their house wines were impeccable. A special thank you to our waitress, Brittany, who was so helpful and attentive throughout our visit. She made sure we had everything we needed and even offered excellent recommendations. Her friendly and professional service really made the evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for delicious food, great wine, and outstanding service

The restaurant is well decorated, bringing a fancy feeling to me. The service was excellent. I ordered a medium rare fillet mignon as a safe option since it was my first time there. However, the steak was overcooked (crispy outside and medium well inside) and so salty that I had to drink two full glasses of water. They offered to make another dish for me, but I lost my taste for the food. They also gave us two complimentary champagnes for our anniversary. Overall, it was a great time with my family there. I hope that they can do better next time.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary and his like every other time the food was great. Good service and nice atmosphere. Would highly recommended.

Came here for a corporate dinner and we had the best server. Unfortunately, I forgot her name but she was a lovely woman who kept us on our toes. I tried to the mahi mahi which was delicious. For the table I also got to try the meatballs which were good, and the brussel sprouts which were also tasty. I had the espresso martini which was average (a bit sweet) and one of their beers. Overall a pretty cool place. I would say it is upscale Olive Garden. Would come back again!

4.6* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4* Service: 4* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $71 06/27/2025 My wife made the reservation so I agreed to go back, even though my last experience left we doubting I would return and I admittedly walked in with a bit of a chip on my shoulder. Overall, I'm glad we went back to give them a second chance as this experience was much better than the last. This is a very nice restaurant that is a part of over 55 in the growing chain that started in Overland Park, IL in 2005. Our friends in Wisconsin recently mentioned Cooper's Hawk and how good their Ahi tuna was - and given how much we enjoy Ahi tuna, that likely played a significant role in my wife's decision to make a reservation. Beyond the wine flight that my wife ordered (see picture), we started with Asian Ahi Tuna Sashimi (see picture). As you might expect (sashimi), the portions were quite small...but it was quite delicious. Food and Drink Guy Tip: The soy dipping liquid was also great and the leftover mix was quite tasty on the pretzel bread loaf. For our main courses, my wife ordered the Trio Medallions (see picture) and I opted for the Chicken Giardiniera (see picture). As we always do, we shared tastes of each other's dishes and the Trio Medallions were fantastic - tender, juicy, flavorful and perfectly cooked (medium rare). While our waitress Jennifer (who was great by the way) described the Chicken Giardiniera as spicy - neither of us found it very spicy, but we both found it delicious - tasty breaded chicken breasts soaking in that wonderful giardiniera juice! Food and Drink Guy Tip: Given my love of good bread soaked in tasty juices and sauces, I asked for another loaf of the pretzel bread and used it to soak up all that remaining delicious juice on my plate and sauce on my wife's plate. I highly recommend this, as it was so good that I treated it as my dessert! The plates were so clean after this that a member of the wait staff commented that we mustn't have liked our meal very well... While this clearly isn't the cheapest place in the area for dinner, they do serve high quality food in a clean, modern atmosphere with above average service, so deserves to be on your short list for your next special occasion.

Last night I visited Cooper's hawk winery and restaurant with my beloved husband. It was our anniversary date and it was delightful. Chloe was our waitress, and wow was she awesome! She was very patient as my husband didn't know what to get. She gave us many options whether that be wine or food. I got Dana chicken, yum yum yum. Hubby got fish filet and yum yum yum! I've been here before and all I can say is good things. Chloe was incredible and very remarkable. I would come back here just for her! Thanks Chloe

I have been to Cooper's hawk several times now- I can't believe it's taken this long to leave a review! Their atmosphere is my favorite for a happy hour or date night! They offer wine tastings for a super decent price which is a great girls night activity- they even let you swap wines so you're not stuck with something you don't like! I've gotten several things on the menu and honestly, they haven't missed. They triggered a Caesar salad addiction, as well! Any place that can make you crave a salad gets 5 stars in my book! Oh and gluten free people- you're very safe here! You will be overwhelmed with how many options there are!

I really enjoyed the food and the wine at the restaurant. I had the spaghetti for dinner and it was quite good. I hope to come back more when I visit my family in the Des Moines area.

The "Leonard Burger" had an aesthetically appealing presentation that unveiled a single juicy meaty entree covered with cheese and a flavorful special sauce on a textured soft bun. The Lobster Bisque was silky smooth with a creamy texture circled with lobster bits. One tops the entire meal off with a slice of their opulent "Key Lime Pie" engulfed in a dollop of delicious whip cream. Ashley P - My wait staffer- had a trove of trivia information related to the brand from their extensive wine list to their popular menu features. The decor of blue and green allowed one to sit back and enjoy not only their meal, in addition enjoy the calm and relaxed upscale environment.

Our first time eating here, really loved the atmosphere as soon as we arrived! You can wine taste while you wait for a table at their tasting bar right when you enter. Highly recommended to make a reservation. Our waitress Renee was knowledgeable and gave us several suggestions and pairings as it was our first time. I chose a build your own wine flight to try a few different ones- generous pour on each. And was a great way to try four of them. The food was delicious as well. So many great options to choose from we've got to go back and try something different each time! Overall we really enjoyed the service, atmosphere and food. Definitely will be back and a must stop in the Des Moines metro!

I wanted to love everything about this place. I wanted it to be our new spot. Sadly, it wasn't. We were a party of 10, id made reservations for my mother's birthday over a month ago and I confirmed the reservation the day before our dinner party. We arrived on time and were told to wait and they'd seat us soon. It was about 10-15 minutes and we were seated. The waiter (I forgot his name-strawberry blonde hair, quite tall) showed up at the table and had an attitude that not everyone was immediately paying attention to him. He had the nerve to say HELLLLO!!?!? Service started off rocky but I was hopeful it would get better. The waiter was kind to my mother, which is probably the only saving grace. 9/10 of us received food that was cooked correctly, albeit warm, not hot food. I requested a substitution of vegetables and was simply told "no". My brother in law ordered a well done burger and it came out rare. The burger was remade and brought to the table after everyone else had finished eating. That meal was not comped. The waiter didn't return until he brought the new burger back, to see if we needed drink refills or anything else. The food was mediocre at best and the price point didn't justify mediocre food. Overall, it's a miss for me. There are places that provide better service where I'll spend my money.

I'm just gonna say our entire table was given complimentary dinners and wine tasting due to the service

We ordered sandwiches to go tonight. It was a horrible experience! It took 50 minutes from the time I ordered online to getting my food. I only live about 7 minutes from the restaurant. When I got home the food was cold. Cold fries, even the small pieces of Mahi were cold on my sandwich. The Mahi was on top of the bun. It had no flavor. To top it off, all the plastic cups of condiments were placed on top of the food. I don't want any anything that was sitting on a counter on top of my food! I can't belive o paid so much for that food.

We have been CH members for years and have always enjoyed the food and wine. The food was awesome for this occasion as well. The problem was our server, Peebles. She was not on top of it. 2 salads never showed up, so we cancelled them after we got our main entree, and the bread wasn't delivered before our meal. She seemed hurried and scattered, with her attention to detail being somewhere else. I have had many meals at CH, but she wasn't what I would expect on a $400 dinner for 6.

Food is surprisingly good while the wine is disappointing considering they spend a lot of effort on the wine side.Service and ambiance are outstanding.

Awesome service we stopped by just for wine tasting. We were promptly greeted by the hostess and showed to our table. They have an extensive menu of tasting options. We opted for a flight of reds and sparklings so we could taste an array of their offerings. By far this is the best winery we visited. We highly recommend the make your own or the lux

We decided to give this place a try. It's been here for a while and I've been hearing good reviews. We got a reservation for 6:45 on a Friday night. The parking lot was completely full when we arrived so we parked to the west in front of another business. We checked in about 10 minutes early. The lobby was full of people tasting wines and waiting for their tables. We were called right on time to be seated. The atmosphere is very upscale but accommodates casual as well. Daniel, our server, was very attentive. He talked to us about the food and drink options and offered to let us taste some of the wines before paying for a glass or bottle. We ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts for an appetizer. I wasn't able to get a photo because my wife started in on them as soon as they were brought to the table. She said the thought occurred to her that I should get some before she ate them all, but she wasn't willing to stop eating to let me know that. Our entrees were taking some time getting to us so Daniel offered some complimentary soup. It was a crab, shrimp, and lobster bisque. I'm not a big fan of either crab or lobster, but the bisque was delicious. That was a recurring theme here. I kept silently hoping I wouldn't like the food after seeing the prices, but I kept being happily disappointed by how tasty everything was. I narrowed down my main dish choices to my top 3 picks and our server helped us decide what to order. My wife ordered chicken piccata. It was delicious with a nice lemony finish. I had the pan seared mahi mahi. Delicious would be an understatement. See the photos below. For dessert, we were offered a couple of different truffles. I also ordered some key lime pie. It reminded me of the pies at Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop on Maui. Maybe it was the wine speaking, but my wife said the pie tonight was better. I regret to report that everything we tasted tonight was excellent, and my wife will likely force me to come back soon, much to my wallet's chagrin. EDIT: After we got home, my wife suggested 3 additions to this review: 1) We were out to eat for her birthday tonight. She believes this information is important and somehow relevant to the review; 2) All of the wine we tried tonight was delicious. Her favorites were the sparkling raspberry and the chocolate noir wines, and my favorites were the Gewürztraminer and the ice wine; and 3) the truffles will melt in your mouth but that's no excuse for skipping the sauces that come with them.

WOW&OMG. What a wonderful experience. First of all our waitress was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine. I had cheeseburger w/frys and take home piece of Chocolate Cake. Only ate 1/2 of burger. Finished off two days later w/new bun&it was just as delicious. If you're a Pino Grigio fan, I strongly recommend a glass or more, if you're not driving of course. Enjoy

Food is too expensive not worth the price all they want is money they make you pay a lot on tips. Too greedy why pay 25 for a burger when you can have the same at bbops for not even 10 dollars?? Exactly they over charge you for their food that ain't worth it no one should be eating here I highly don't recommend this place last time I got sick eating and was throwing up I'm not taking my chances.

We went here for lunch to celebrate hubby's birthday. The host was very soft spoken almost to the point that I couldn't understand what he was saying but we followed him, assuming he would lead us to our table (he did). Our server, Heather, was a vast improvement - personable and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a red wine flight and there was discussion over the optimum order to try the wines and we agreed with Heather that the order should be different than what was presented. The wines were all good but not necessarily stand out. Hubby had short rib risotto which he liked very much and surprisingly took some home as it was filling. I had the roasted veggie enchiladas and they were a delicious melty concoction baked in a ramekin but I would be hard pressed to tell you exactly what the specific veggies were. Hubby received the complimentary birthday dessert of two truffles - decadent but we also shared the salted caramel crème brûlée, also decadent. We were told all desserts are made in house. It wasn't crowded when we arrived just before 1:30 pm so we enjoyed quiet ambiance and were not rushed.

Service was excellent, food was solid - some really good, some just OK, and wine was good and reasonably priced. We had a reservation on a Thursday night, which was a good thing as they were quite busy. The restaurant seats a lot of people! My wife wasn't sure about which wine to get, so our server brought out generous samples of 3 wines that he thought might be close to what she was looking for. She tried them and settled on the Cabernet. I ordered a martini - it was pretty good, but I believe set a new DSM area record price of $16. Not way out of whack, but I do think it's the most I've paid for a martini in DSM. For dinner my wife got the Lean Menu Steak Medallions. They were very flavorful and tender. There were 2 vs. the serving size of 3 on the main menu, but the price was less, and her dish was under 600 calories. It is nice they have the lower calorie option section with a lot of selections. I got the Pan Roasted Mahi Mahi. Now, we just got back from Gulf Shores, AL, so the fish was obviously not as fresh, BUT it was tasty, and the preparations was very nice. We did splurge on the chocolate cake for dessert, and our server brought another wine sample that might go well with it, but we decided to stick with what we already had for beverages. The cake was pretty good, but not all that memorable. Probably wouldn't do it again, but some of the other options looked good and may be worth a try. There was a table close to ours with a small dog that had it's own chair. The dog ate off it's owners plate, and was fed by them using their fork. Not entirely sure what the laws are regarding this, but that's the first time I've seen an animal at a table, dining off an entree inside a restaurant. Prices are a bit on the high side for DSM, but the service was excellent and the food was very good.

I couldn't say better things about our experience. Our server Peebles was AMAZING, she had an excellent sense of humor as well as she was knowledgeable and personable. Everything from the tuna crispy rice, to the dirty martini, and don't even get me started on the entrees. We were traveling for work and could not have made a better choice. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Wine tasting and great food both in a relaxed yet formal setting? Yes! This is what you'll get when you visit Cooper's Hawk. No more waiting outside or in boring sitting areas - you can taste a glass of wine or do a whole tasting while you wait for your table. Once you get to your table, you'll find a menu with specific wine pairings for each meal option you have. I can confidently say we have never had a bad meal here. Everything is well made, delicious and a beautiful spin on many classic American dishes. The Prime Sandwich and Short Rib are tender and flavorful. The fish is lightly yet richly coated while the burger is a comforting classic. We ate the appetizers too quickly to eat pictures but give the brussel sprouts, meatballs, and shrimp a try - they're incredible. Parking here is easy and I would recommend making a reservation so you can plan when you want to go for your wine tasting. This is my go to when I'm back in the Des Moines area. Try it out!

The food and wine were outstanding. My server was amazing. A true asset to your winery. I will definitely be back. The ambiance was beautiful and very relaxing.

Always a hit! Come for the wine tasting and stay for the meal - or vice versa! We like the tasting first in order to identify which wine we will prefer for the meal. I appreciate that the portions are the right size, consistently high-quality, and they gladly handle any modifications. All staff is always so friendly, knowledgeable, and coordinating well with each other. Wine tasting counter can get crowded by mostly in a friendly environment. Restaurant seating is distant enough to feel some privacy but not overly intimate. Bar seating is less formal but still upscale. This was my first time having the Drunken Shrimp. I will definitely have them again!

The service was 10/10, waters always refilled, great wine recommendations. The truffles are to die for, def get them. Also recommend coming early for the wine tasting. The crab, shrimp & lobster bisque was great. We really liked the free pretzel bread. We both ordered surf n turf. Parmesan-crusted filet medallions and pistachio-crusted grouper were amazing, prime churrasco grilled steak and soy ginger Atlantic salmon were also tasty. Place had a relaxed but fancy aesthetic, perfect for anniversary/celebrations!

Sadness. I don't enjoy writing bad reviews. I'd much rather have terrific food that I can encourage others to try. That wasn't the case here. Cooper's is a stand-alone restaurant in a predominately business-heavy area near West Des Moines. They want to be higher-end/finer-dining - and they have the ambiance and even some of the staff to pull that off...their price-points are certainly in line with finer-dining and they have the added panache related to calling themselves a winery - all great for marketing. Unfortunately they are a mall restaurant without the mall. Hubby and I had: Crab, Shrimp, and Lobster Bisque: nice thick creamy and rich broth with a nice vegetable background and a slight seafood flavor but no discernible pieces of lobster or crab. The shrimp were the tiny (tasteless) cocktail-size shrimp that were maybe 3/4" in size. The broth was over-salted by a factor of 2-3. House salad: big plate of lettuce. A cherry tomato cut in half. Three pieces of cucumber. Four croutons. Blue cheese dressing. $9.99. Gnocchi Carbonara with chicken: Nice flavor - distinctive sage in the background. Way over salted. The gnocchi was tough and the chicken reminded us of the pre-cooked chicken you buy at the grocery and warm up - chewy and tough. Shrimp and Scallop Risotto: the seafood in this dish was well made and had a buttery flavor. That's where it ended. This wasn't risotto. It struck me that they pre-cooked rice then added it to a base. Anyone who has prepared risotto knows how the delicate rice kernels absorb the stock and creates a creamy and cheesy bowl of love. This was a watered down soupy mess. In fact, they should be fined for serving this and calling it risotto. The wine flights were good. The wine is acceptable but it's not anything that will make you go WOW. The service was nice and it was busy but I'm not sure why. Maybe this is the best these burbs can pump out, but we're not going back.

Our second visit here. Love the atmosphere and service. Food is snacking. Great presentation. Good place for a date night. They also have wine tastings when you walk in the door. We joined the wine club. Happy hour prices are affordable.

First timer at Coopers Hawk, my family and friends have been raving about this place, I missed an opportunity to try the restaurant in Elk Grove, Illinois, got a second chance and went to Cooper's Hawk in Des Moines Iowa, it did not disappoint. The meal was delicious, had the Arrachera meat meal, the mash potatoes was the best I've tasted in a while. Most definitely will be back to celebrate life or something else. I met the head chef who was born in Puerto Rico, I told him how impressed we were with the meals we had and he said that he moved from PR 3 years ago and hasn't looked back.

Brought my team here for dinner while I was in town. Ambiance is top notch. The food and service were great, too. Even though this restaurant was busy, they tended to us quickly and kept checking in on us. Thanks for a great time!

Food tastes terrible was very bland not worth the price we paid for never go here if you wanna save money the servers are super pushy had a bad experience with imma.

Tables were dirty, there were small bugs crawling in a corner near a table. The waitress had an attitude and wasn't friendly. Way too expensive.

Wow! This place is excellent! The front room is the winery tasting and shopping area with the restaurant in back. It's beautifully designed & merchandised. We went for a girls night & enjoyed wine & cocktails. I did a wine flight, which was a great way to try 4 different wines. The drunken shrimp app was EXCELLENT! We all loved it. I had the pistachio crusted grouper and practically licked the plate - flavorful, not fishy at all, tasted very fresh. The mashed potatoes were phenomenal. The short ribs were very tender & delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals. For dessert, we shared the baked cookie with Reeces & it was very tasty. We had great service too! They did try to sell me on the wine club at checkout. It's also conveniently located. We will be back!

I was lucky enough to be invited for the soft opening at Cooper's Hawk in Clive. It was such a refreshing update from the previous restaurant. I asked some questions about the chain as this one was new to me. If I'm not wrong, I believe this is their 50th location. Their wine club has upwards of 600,000 members! We started our lunch with the warm pretzel bread. It was followed closely with a flatbread. We split the Mahi mahi entree for a little lighter fare. We closed out with a crème brûlée. It was one of the best crème brûlée I've ever had. 10/10 - will go again.

Very good! I got my wife a 3 month membership for Christmas and we arrived to our reservation 45 min early to do some wine tastings. If you do the 2 month you get free wine tastings! The wine was very good. Even if you don't like wine I think you would enjoy it! As for the food, we started off with complimentary pretzel roil and butter that was really good! Then we got our wedge salad ( pic attached) it had blue cheese and another really good dressing with bacon. Also we ordered the sausage flatbread that was really good(pic attached)Then my wife ordered the 3. Medallions entree (pic attached) that was melt in your mouth amazing we will definitely be back- get the membership online for a loved one!

We came to visit this new location while visiting family in Iowa. We are wine members in Arizona so we were excited to check out the clive location. Service was great and food was excellent, of course. We ordered the drunken shrimp to share and for lunch I ordered their seasonal item, wild mushroom flatbread and my favorite soup, the crab and lobster bisque. My husband ordered our favorite flatbread, the Italian sausage with whipped burrata. For the table we opened a bottle of their sparkling rose. The location turned out beautiful and family enjoyed it too!!!

As a wine club member from Chicago, I was excited to attend a member event that was held last night - New Orleans theme. The menu was solid - reflective to the theme and the Chef was great at explaining the courses/meal. 1 - star for service Event was held in small back room with plenty of waitstaff but the service was horrendous!!! The bigger server insisted on serving a guy that was 2 chairs down from me, entering from my end of the table instead of the other that he was closer to. She knocked over my purse and coat several times - no apology! I received my food after everyone else throughout the event and finally a guy sitting next me asked the server why? The bigger server gave some bullsh*t excuse. Again no apology. No steak knife, no pen for trivia, dishes cleared after EVERYONE else. WTF. I've been a member for several years in Chicago and this was unacceptable. Time to end my membership and give a middle finger to Clive. It was racially motivated as the only person of color in attendance and the worthless manager with purple hair probably gave the instructions. AVOID THIS PLACE

This place is definitely a vibe! It's aesthetically pleasing from the moment you enter! The service was great and the food was even better! For appetizers, we ordered the over the border egg rolls and the house-made meatballs and they were amazing! The best egg rolls I've had, anywhere. Both appetizers were very flavorful. For my entree I ordered the baked Parmesan Shrimp Scampi. The shrimp were extremely flavorful and cooked to perfection. The pasta was flavorful with a lemon flavor to it. This place is perfect if you want amazing food!

Celebrated our anniversary here. Extensive wine list. Knowledgeable staff to make recommendations. Intimate atmosphere. Food was prompt and delicious. Recommend to all. We will be returning.

Uniforms are TERRIBLE. What are the servers actually wearing?!! I'm sorry are we at a country restaurant in the middle of nowhere. The ugly aprons are gross and make the atmosphere 10x worse.

I have been a wine member since 2018 for Cooper's Hawk (in south Florida) so imagine my excitement when I found a location in Clive, Ia!!!! My hubby and I celebrated our anniversary last night. I have been to Cooper's Hawk quite a few times, he had never been. My description of ambiance would be: casual dining with a touch of class. You can wear a nice pair of jeans but also wear a dress & not feel too over dressed. We started in the tasting room. For starters, I have been doing tastings @ Cooper's Hawk since 2018 so I know the flow pretty well. Hubby doesn't drink wine, so I did a variety tasting while he grabbed a drink from the full service bar. He then met me back at the tasting. My pourer was not engaging. She was flustered, the whole experience was not pleasant. She had 4 people she was pouring for. I'm not sure if she was new.... I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I told her I didn't like the one wine on the tasting menu yet she continued to pour it. I don't think she liked me saying I didn't care for the one wine on the tasting menu because she was quite cold after that. My hubby enjoys Prosecco at times so I asked if they had a tasting menu of bubbly but I did use the word "Champagne" and she quickly corrected me. So I continued to ask if they instead had a sweet tasting menu we could look at. I know they do but instead she turned mine over & pointed to the 4 sweet reds they offer & said that was pretty much the sweet menu. I know this is not accurate but I didn't push as I got the feeling she wanted us gone. My hubby could have done another tasting for the sweet menu and more tip money in her pocket despite her treatment of us. It was such a strange experience to see how engaging she was with the couple directly next to us. She did not ask me if I was a wine member but instead said "you're not a member right" as I asked to cash out since she also did not ask if we had dinner plans or reservations. I had plans to take some wine home as I knew I had 3 bottles on my account. However, I really just wanted out of there so I decided it was time to move on to dinner. Quite honestly my hubby asked me "why do you like this place?" Our server, Nnamdi made our dinner very lovely. He was on top of things. The pacing was proper for our apps, dinner, dessert. He was pleasant & it really turned things around after starting on a not so pleasant foot in the tasting room. He made suggestions for apps and desserts which is always helpful. We enjoyed dinner so much, we didn't feel rushed. Kudos to you Nnamdi! All in all I will for sure be back. My first time in the tasting room at the Clive location in their tasting room was so lovely. I look forward to giving it another go!

Wine tasting was quite an experience, will be coming back again. My server Sunday I believe was awesome!

Stopped in for wine tasting on a Friday night, would highly recommend! There were 3 different options, each having 8 1oz pours to try. Loved trying the different wines and socializing while doing so. We stayed for dinner and it was such a great atmosphere. Friendly staff, tasty food, and a great girls night!

I've been here 3 times and it's consistently mediocre. The food looks look on the menu, but the execution isn't great. Almost like trying to be a high end Cheesecake Factory. All 3 times we had reservations and each time we've had to wait at least 20-45 extra minutes. They need to limit their reservations on open table if they're going to be that delayed. The restaurant itself is beautiful but they need to hire more people to work. Our server was intensely busy and you can tell he was trying to rush whatever he was doing when he was at the table. The only real benefit of this place is trying out their wines and pairing it with food. Oh and their desserts are sweet!

Came here again for lunch with our daughter! Really great food, service, and atmosphere! Nice to come back and have an amazing experience again! Consistency in a restaurants service and food is great and appreciated!

Our first visit here. Insider tip, give yourself 44 minutes prior to your reservation for the wine tasting. We had a fabulous evening out. We enjoyed a wonderful tasting hosted by Holly. Once we were done, we checked back in with the hostess station and were seated shortly there after. Great ambiance and social noise. We enjoyed a complimentary barrel tasting, which we both loved and that helped me with my dinner selection. I had the medallion trio. The meat (requested medium) melted in my mouth. It was delectable. When my plate arrived, I was surprised by the presentation. The potatoes (Mary"s), was the first taste I took. It was lighter in texture than it looked, but it was definitely unseasoned. The grilled asparagus was as expected, but the medallions confused me. They all looked the same. The description was horseradish, blue cheese and parmesan encrusted. They looked like identical triplelets. I could definitely taste the horseradish, but I could not tell which one was blue cheese. I love blue cheese and it should be potent. My husband, who does not care for blue cheese, could not tell a big difference between that and the parmesan encrusted and made a best guess. I do not know where their blue cheese was from, but it wasn't vert potent as one would expect. Regardless, all were delicious and mouth watering. I did not waste calories on the unseasoned Mary's potatoes. She may not want to out her name to those. My husband had the short rib risotto and cleaned his plate. His only complaint with the dish was that he wished it had more meat. He felt it was equal parts mushrooms and short ribs. The flavor was excellent and the risotto was properly cooked. I took a forkful and was expecting something heavy. To my delight, ot was well balanced and not at all heavy. We ended our meal by splitting the chocolate cake. Chocolate cake tends to be either dry or dense. Thankfully, it was neither. We are definitely coming back for both wine tastings and trying different menu options.

We had our board holiday dinner on Nov 26th. Nicole made making the reservations easy and accommodated our needs. The space was pleasant and provided the right atmosphere for conversations. Upon arriving, we were welcomed with champagne, which was a nice addition. The food choices were excellent and none of us left hungry (and a few with leftovers)! The shoutout of the evening was hands down the service. Rachel J. is THE BEST! I have known Rachel for years and whether behind the bar or serving she takes care of her customers. Marjory was the second server and was equally attentive and made certain our group was welcomed and provided great service.

Rachel was phenomenal! Her knowledge of wine and the menu were very helpful and her suggestions were delicious! Will definitely be back in:)

Great food and wine. Sadly, the wait team was understaffed. The team was great and food hot. Had long wait periods. Glad we weren't in a rush.

EXCELLENT!!! Absolutely EXCELLENT!!! It was our first time here as Husband surprised me for our 25th Wedding Anniversary! As soon as we walked in we felt the Love! The atmosphere was fresh, clean , upscale but not stuffy! Smiling welcoming faces throughout! Nate this visiting manager that flew in from Chicago to make sure everything was running like a well oiled machine, remembered my husband from another meeting. He welcomed us warmly and treated us like family! The wine tasting was phenomenal and so was our pourer! She was friendly, knowledgeable and did not make us feel in a hurry, but kept perfect pace for our dinner reservation! The food and service ALSO EXCELLENT! This AWESOME experience made us gladly join the Wine Club -2 bottle! We can't wait to visit Every month now! Maria and Matt Murphy

I came here for dinner and the place is super nice. I got the carne asada flatbread for the appetizer and it is very delicious and good. It went above my expectations for a flatbread with asada on it. For the entree I got grilled tenderloin medallions and they were pretty solid. I didn't think they were anything special and that it was an average steak. The service here is top tear the waiter was very nice and cool and got the food here really fast. The ambiance of this place is very nice and cool. It is a very expensive place but also nice. I would recommend that you come here for a nice dinner.
