Best Date Night Restaurants in Ankeny

The food was fantastic, I highly recommend the dry aged steaks. Dessert was decadent and the service was next level. My hats off the this establishment!

Our favorite place to eat in Des Moines. Delicious food and great martinis.

Was able to make a last minute reservation here on Valentine’s night. Opentable makes reservation so convenient. Made the reservation, drove five minutes to get there, and were seated in ten minutes. The place was very busy. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was on par with a five star restaurant. I have eaten at a Ruth’s Chris in St. Louis and was not as impressed as I was with this location. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

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.
