Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Johnston

We were at Fleming’s on Valentine’s Day, so it was busy, but the staff did not seem at all flustered and provided outstanding service! Every person we interacted with was friendly and concerned about enjoyment of the evening, without hovering. The food was excellent, as well, but the service was truly what stood out for us.

We’ve eaten here three times and it seems to get better and better. It was Valentine’s Day so it was very busy. Our server was efficient and polite. The variety of the menu always surprises me as Tupelo Honey is best known for their fried chicken and southern comfort food. I had the grain bowl and the spiced pumpkin bisque. I could have licked my bowl, the soup was that good. Several people in our party had the meat loaf and that also did not disappoint. The smothered chicken was another winner! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Wood fired stove for cooking excellent crusted duck & vegetables and other dishes. Lovely vintagey ambiance keeping with the historic nature of Hotel Ft Des Moines. Nice cocktails. Professional, knowledgeable service, also gave us our space and wasn’t sales-y.

We did not order food but had to rate it regardless. Great ambience! However, music MUST be soft jazz for a true speak easy, not pop or whatever was playing! Ruined the atmosphere!

Laryn was our waitress tonight! WOW five star super friendly and went above and beyond! Food was good and fast service!
