Steve GusMay 3, 2017I had the turkey and bacon panini with the onion soup- both were excellent. The sandwich aioli made the flavor pop. The onion soup was a little sweet for my taste, but was excellent as well.
Kelli RobertsOctober 4, 2016Best Happy Hour! $1 oysters $4 apps and the cheese flight is fantastic. $5 martinis perfect it!Kira is a attentive bartender without being hovering. Perfect place to meet up with friends after work
Vanessa Marcano-KellyOctober 10, 2014Craft beer selection is very nice. I love the poutine, the soft shell crab dish, and the mussels casserole. Desserts are delicious. Chic atmosphere and the price, for the quality, is very accessible.
Claire TaylorApril 24, 2014The food is fantastic- yes, the service isn't great, but if you like good food, this is a delicious spot! Fun wine list.Where else can you find a Chateau Montelena Chardonnay of "Bottle Shock" fame?
Peter KelleyOctober 24, 2012Brussels sprouts appetizer best ever of that veggie (really! Truffle oil I figure) and Votre Sante Pinot Noir was great e the mushroom crepes. Liking the ménage a trois cheese plate too
Juice MagazineJune 20, 2012The happy hour for impressing co-workers, with $5 martinis, champagne and specialty cocktails, $1 oysters as well as cheese and charcuterie plates and $1 shrimp cocktail 4-6 p.m. Monday-Friday Read more
Ashley KasperJune 12, 2015Perfect place for a wine and cheese night. They have wine flights! And choose your own cheese platters.
- Juice MagazineFebruary 29, 2012Try the Crepes Django, five crepes topped with a pleasant bourbon maple syrup, bacon and toasted pecans, a blend of savory and sweet. More brunch reviews:
Lila StarrAugust 9, 2014The Yellowfin dinner special was well prepared, flavorful, and the presentation was lovely! MIke, our server, took really good care of us!
Desarae VeitOctober 13, 2012Don't order the chicken panini its like shoving a stick of butter and a block if blue cheese in your mouth. I'm starving and can't finish it's so greasy. The tomato bisque is creamy deliciousness.
Erik RowleyMarch 12, 2015You're in a city named by French explorers, you might as well dine French. The beef bourguignon is fantastic!
kristin elliottJune 7, 2011The seared sea scallops entree is absolutely amazing. And $1 oysters during happy hour is hard to beat!- Juice MagazineSeptember 13, 2011Looking for unpretentious French food? Try the duck fat fries or weekend brunch (You can BYO champagne)
Happy hour specials include $10 charcuterie plate, $1 oysters and shrimp, and $5 martinis
Alexander J MJanuary 12, 2012Literally the best happy hour in DSM. $1 shrimp, $1 oysters. One Jackson and you're fat and drunk.
Otis KhounloSeptember 30, 2012Duck frites make such a difference! Definitely get those over regular!
Adam LillandApril 16, 2011The roasted chicken is great, but the mashed potatoes are a bit too garlicky for my taste. Asparagus was grilled perfectly.
The calamari is outstanding, but leave the salad in the kitchen. The Scallops St John is excellent as well.
TrishaTrixie Hunter-MerrillJuly 25, 2013I was slightly shocked that I barely took a bite of ny sandwich cuz I even said I didn't like it and the server dudnt even offer to take some of the cost off.
- Alyssa BereznakFebruary 4, 2016a surprisingly elegant french resto in des moines. not the best meal, but not the worst one there either.
Patrick GénéreuxDecember 21, 2016Nice meal...a little over priced, but not bad for a downtown resto...
- Drew Van Woert 🍺January 16, 2012If you bring a bottle of wine from Gateway Market there's no corking fee.
Best happy hour in town. Bartenders know their stuff.
No corking fee, bring in your own bottle any day of the week!
Mike TempletonJanuary 9, 2010Try Le Royale with Cheese, of Pulp Fiction fame. This tasty burger is topped with a fried egg.
RobertoAugust 15, 2013Overpriced. Don't get the mussels. Come for happy hour specials and get the hell out!!
Want to amaze your taste buds? Get The French Quarter! All I can say is "wow!"
