We originally bought tickets for the dueling pianos on a Friday night. We decided to make reservations and have dinner there. We started with the shrimp cakes and duck wontons. We also got a bourbon flight to try 4 different bourbons. We got the bone in Iowa chop with brussels and mash. We finished with the creme brulee and drinks. The shrimp cakes were good with a sweet chili sauce. The duck wontons were fantastic and awesome. I would order these any time, every time. The bourbon flight was not for me, not a bourbon person apparently. The main course was excellent. The Brussels were crispy and tasty. The mash was smooth and flavorful. It was a great compliment to the thick and juicy Iowa chop. The creme brulee was good and the drinks were decent. The shrimp cakes were good however I would rather order the duck wontons. The main course was fantastic and I would definitely order this again. The creme brulee was good, pretty standard brulee. The drinks were ok. I probably wouldn't order drinks, other than wine or beer, here as they are small and pretty pricey. The waiter was good though he did drop off towards the end and my drink order got list whether he forgot or the bar didn't do it but he did blame it on the bar. Overall, the food was excellent and worth the trip. I would say give it a try for good m, not so much the drinks.

We waited and tried to go up to the elevator from 4 pm till around 4.30 pm, but it was absolutely worth it. We loved the food, they were very tasty. Although we fall in love with the drinks... They were beyond praise 👏🏼 I would love to go back to visit this place again if I have a chance to travel Iowa again. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

4.3 is WAYYYYY too low. Amazing views and food. Come on people, what more do you want?
I wish I could say I liked this place. During dinner, the food takes forever and is way overpriced. I recommend coming early or for lunch. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
Server was a joke. Was sat at a table with wobbly chairs and the table was sticky. Food was sub par. Your paying for the view and that wasn’t as great either. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4
