Vino209 Wine Bar & Bistro

Food was great prices are what one would expect $8-10 for appetizers, $10-12 sandwiches etc. Wine was very good. We stopped by for the tasting, tried again red that was so-so and a great Sav Blanc. Bought a bottle for $36 which was about average. Location seats about 30 people total. Quiet and good for conversation. Dessert was really good. Flourless chocolate cake and Turtle Cheesecake. Top notch.

Cute little wine bar! Had a reservation, but didn't even need it as tables were empty early evening during happy hour. Found out they do not have a happy hour drink or food specials & just haven't changed that from online & Open Table. Found a lovely bottle of wine to share. Food was nice, brushetta was very delicious. We had sandwiches they were decent for a deli type sandwich. Noise level was a little loud once other dinners arrived. Staff was very attentive & very impressed that there was only 2 ladies working on a busy Friday evening. Will definitely be back to enjoy another wonderful glass of wine with other friends!

I absolutely love this place. I have had French Onion soup in France. The French Onion soup here beats any I have had and the chicken salad is amazing. Vino209 also sports a small bar which is perfect for me as I am single and eat alone often. When I eat at Vino209, the wait staff make me feel like a part of their family. That is important when you are single, like me. Lovely setting. Friendly staff. The best! Hey Kelly, you know me! I shall return. Had my favorite chicken salad sandwich. Vino209 is hands down one of Des Moines best secrets.

Chef Andrew really is amazing. His culinary creations delight the palate. We have enjoyed the food here a few times. Try the wagu sliders which are delicious! Love coming to see what's on the menu. Our server Caitlyn was friendly and offered prompt service. What a great place!

Nice selection of wine by the glass or bottle, beers too. Menu has things from munchies to sandwiches. Hip atmosphere with exposed brick, etc. Worth a visit!

I had high expectations on my first visit due to aesthetics of the establishment. The designer did a fabulous job. However, the inattentive service and lack of wine knowledge from my server was sports bar level at best. The service and the look and feel of the place do not match. For the prices, and the look, this place needs top notch service by accomplished and well versed waitstaff.

Great collection of wine! Perfect for date night, they have live music.

Fantastic dining experience tucked nicely into the valley junction layout. Exquisitely crafted dishes filled with the highest quality ingredients. Try the French Onion soup! Comfortable atmosphere with a superior selection of wines to please any palate. 13/10 would take a date here or treat myself to lunch or an evening glass.
