ALBA RESTAURANT

524 E. Sixth St., 244-0261

albadsm.com

Regarded by many as a steadfastly reliable

choice for a memorable dining experience,

Alba continues to impress with flavors and

ambience. Chef Jason Simon and his team

have set the bar high since opening in Des

Moines' East Village in 2008. Both the lunch

and dinner menus offer some of the city's

most inventive plates in a smart setting. The

seasonal twists on contemporary American

cuisine dovetail deftly with superb cocktail

and wine lists.

BARU 66

6587 University Ave., Windsor Heights;

277-6627

baru66.com

World-class contemporary French cuisine,

embellished by the heartland’s finest

available ingredients, elevates Baru 66 to a

lofty perch in Central Iowa. The menu may

change with seasonal availability, but chef

David Baruthio's passions for excellence and

honoring his native France are constant.

Another constant is the applause from the

region's most discerning diners. Baru 66 is

one of those special places worthy of being

called exceptional.

BISTRO MONTAGE

2724 University Ave.; 557-1924

bistromontage.com

An Ingersoll Avenue mainstay, the grande

dame of Des Moines' bistro scene has been

serving classic and contemporary French

cuisine for more than a decade. A lively

spot, chef Enosh Kelley's Bistro Montage

brims with confidence. Seasonal specials and

the prix fixe menu are magnets for loyal

regulars. The desserts here are swoon-

worthy. At lunchtime (Tuesday-Friday), the

kitchen lavishes careful attention on a

satisfying array of crepes and salads. Check

out the seared salmon that will be available

during Restaurant Week on page 6.

BŎS

401 Locust St.; 284-1267

bosdesmoines.com

Contemporary Midwest cuisine gets the star

treatment here. The kitchen is committed to

using products from local growers and

producers whenever possible. The Iowa corn

chowder, a regular menu item, is blue-

ribbon-worthy. Located inside the historic

Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel, and

open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this

downtown restaurant celebrates comfort

food and American standards. Out-of-town

guests rave about how the food exceeds

expectations for a hotel eatery.

RESTAURANT WEEK PARTICIPANTS

CAFÉ DI SCALA

644 18th St.; 244-1353

cafediscala.com

Tony Lemmo’s Café di Scala has a charming,

romantic energy all its own. A century-old

Victorian mansion in Des Moines' historic

Sherman Hill neighborhood provides the

backdrop for contemporary Italian cuisine

that honors Lemmo’s Calabrian heritage.

Chef Phil Shires was a James Beard “Best

Chef-Midwest” nominee this year. As would

be the case in Italy, fine wine is essential

here. Both Wine Spectator and Wine

Enthusiast magazines have recognized Café

di Scala’s attention to detail. See the

homemade tagliatelle dish Shires will be

cooking up for Restaurant Week on page 8.

CENTRO

1003 Locust St.; 248-1780

centrodesmoines.com

The flavors and ambience, smart and

uncluttered, have made Centro one of those

perfectly comfortable places for a lunch or a

dinner, whether it’s a laid-back outing or a

bit more formal. Bearing the imprint of

founder George Formaro, the menu offers

an array of Italian-inspired choices,

including pizza baked in coal-fired ovens.

That pizza is available for half price on

Monday nights. Weekend brunches offer

everything from steak and eggs to crab cake

benedict. Sidewalk tables go quickly.

CITY CENTER LOUNGE–DES MOINES

MARRIOTT DOWNTOWN

700 Grand Ave.; 245-5500

marriott.com

Offering everything from sliders to steaks,

the City Center Lounge in the Great Room

of the Des Moines Marriott Downtown

specializes in carefully prepared American

grill fare, including steaks, chops and fish,

and handcrafted cocktails. The emphasis at

dinner is on giving patrons plenty of

choices in comfortable surroundings. The

lounge’s 5-10-20 menu caters to guests

facing time constraints.

SPLASH SALADSPLASH SEAFOOD BAR & GRILLOne of the best things about Restaurant Week is the promise of a complete dining experience: three courses, no sharing necessary. During the week, restaurateurs remind us how energetic, appetite-rousing and civilized it can be to enjoy a first-course plate of one’s own. A great case in point: the Splash Salad at Splash Seafood Bar & Grill. Tender spinach arrives tossed with ingredients combined in unexpected yet harmonious ways—Gorgonzola, roasted corn, sweet candied walnuts and ever-irresistible bacon—all tossed with a cranberry-champagne vinaigrette. The only downside: Once you try this one-of-a-kind find, you’ll be hard-pressed to settle for a rote dinner salad again. WINI MORANVILLE

RESTAURANT WEEK2014

AUGUST 15-24


COSI CUCINA ITALIAN GRILL

1975 N.W. 86th St., Clive; 278-8148

cosicucina.com

A renaissance is blossoming here. Owners

David and Bonnie Bartels, who first began

operating Cosi Cucina 20 years ago,

returned in February. As a result, the eatery,

which blazed a trail locally when it fired up

the area’s first wood-burning pizza oven

more than two decades ago, is hitting the

stride that made it an irrepressible fixture in

this western suburb for so many years. Cosi

Cucina is a romantic place with cheerful

service and a menu that offers an appealing

array of food and wine-by-the glass choices.

CREME CUPCAKE + DESSERT

543 28th St.; 288-1050

cremecupcake.com

Just off Ingersoll Avenue, Creme Cupcake

is a smart yet decadent cocktail lounge

that is also home to one of the city's best

bakeries. Yes, this is the establishment that

won honors and national fame on the

Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" in 2012.

During Restaurant Week, Creme Cupcake

will offer a variety of cupcakes and other

desserts, plus drinks.

DJANGO

210 10th St.; 288-0268

djangodesmoines.com

French food can be fun. Django proves that

every day, especially on Tuesdays, when low

happy-hour prices for drink specials, oysters

and charcuterie platters are in effect from

open to close. Located in the Hotel Fort

Des Moines, this restaurant focuses on

trotting out classical continental fare with

confidence while giving a nod to more

homespun creations, such as a burger that

won mention as one of the best in the

country from USA Today.

DOS RIOS CANTINA & TEQUILA BAR

316 Court Ave.; 282-2995

dosriosrestaurant.com

Dining at a Dos Rios sidewalk table can be a

sublime experience, whether in the

afternoon, in the evening or on Saturday

morning during the Downtown Farmers

Market. Legendary for stocking some tequilas

almost impossible to find elsewhere in the

United States, this Court Avenue eatery

succeeds in taking traditional Mexican recipes

and giving them a unique, contemporary

twist. Everything, from the tableside-

prepared guacamole to carne asada to tacos,

is served in a cosmopolitan casual setting that

keeps Dos Rios hopping.

EATERY A

2932 Ingersoll Ave.; 282-8085

eateryadsm.com

Few would guess this new Ingersoll Avenue

hot spot, with its outdoor seating, was once a

Blockbuster Video store. Reclaimed wood

from Central Iowa has helped magically

transform the interior. Meanwhile, chef-

owner Jason Simon, of Alba fame, has upped

the culinary ante of the city with a wood-

fired oven and a Mediterranean-inspired

menu that celebrates Old World flavors in

fresh, new ways. Craft beer can be found at

the bar, along with cocktails that can be

made with local spirits and Eastern flavors

such as pomegranate, basil, mint and ginger.

SEARED SALMON WITH SAFFRON-DILL SAUCEBISTRO MONTAGEMany chefs use Restaurant Week to shine the spotlight on what distinguishes their cooking style. On the menu at Des Moines’ quintessential corner bistro is seared salmon with saffron-dill sauce, a dish that underscores chef Enosh Kelley’s mastery of French sauces. The wonderfully fragrant sauce is made of fish stock, reduced cream, fresh dill and Pernod, along with what Kelley calls a “bouillabaisse-ish” touch: saffron. Flanked with small red potatoes and confit cherry tomatoes, the dish is light enough for summer, yet decidedly indulgent enough to know you’re enjoying something true to France. WINI MORANVILLE

CITYSCAPE LOUNGE-HOLIDAY INN

DOWNTOWN

1050 Sixth Ave.; 283-0151

holidayinn.com

Come for view. Stay for the food. Last year’s

million-dollar renovation provided the

Holiday Inn with new main-floor windows

that provide fantastic views of downtown.

To make the food worthy of the vista, chef

Kris Van Tuyl was hired to run the kitchen.

Van Tuyl has upgraded the dining room to

the point that it's become a destination for

locals. During Restaurant Week, his pork

brochettes (see page 2) will be one of the

tempting options on the menu.

perfection. Beyond the beef, the steakhouse

is continually updating it menu, offering

small plates, market-fresh seafood, a bar

desserts and 100 wines sold by the glass.

THE GRAMERCY TAP –

KITCHEN & COCKTAILS

400 Walnut St.; 288-9606

gramercytap.com

A sleek downtown venue with shady north-

side sidewalk seating, The Gramercy Tap is

focused and energetic. The menu is eclectic

but well-contained, allowing the kitchen to

pay careful attention to its specialties,

including flavorful takes on pasta, seafood

and duck. Some regard the restaurant’s

burgers as the best around, and the bar is a

prime location for innovative cocktails and

craft beers.

HOQ

303 E. Fifth St.; 244-1213

hoqtable.com

HoQ's celebration of farm-to-table

ingredients continues at full throttle. This

popular East Village eatery, owned by chef

Suman Hoque and his wife, Cynthia, is

bright, cheerful and often bustling with

diners. The imaginative Sunday brunch has a

robust following. Dedicated to the motto

"local farms, global flavors," Hoq proudly

touts the fact that about 90 percent of its

main ingredients originate in the Midwest.

JOHNNY’S ITALIAN STEAKHOUSE

6075 Mills Civic Parkway,

West Des Moines; 333-5665

550 Bass Pro Drive N.W.,

Altoona; 957-8066

johnnysitaliansteakhouse.com

If there's any place that proves "a good time

never goes out of style," it’s the retro-snazzy

Johnny's, which has a proven track record at

two local spots. A third Central Iowa

location, complete with a 3,600-square-foot

lakefront patio, recently opened in Altoona.

Johnny’s, which preserves the legacy of two

fondly remembered Des Moines supper

clubs—Johnnie’s Vets Club and Johnny &

Kay’s—is a place where patrons can enjoy

updated versions of vintage favorites in plush

and spiffy surroundings reminiscent of rotary

phone days.

LE JARDIN

2815 Beaver Ave.; 255-5787

lejardindsm.com

The newest space to accommodate French

bistro cuisine is presided over by chef-owner

Tag Grandgeorge, well-known among local

food enthusiasts for his star turns at Chat Noir

Café and the ArtHouse Restaurant and Gallery.

His 42nd Street Le Jardin, which shared a roof

with La Mie, was much appreciated before

closing. This new Beaverdale location is cozy

and modern. The food is dazzling, owing to

Grandgeorge’s enthusiasm for working with

fresh local ingredients. Le Jardin opens for

dinner Wednesday through Saturday and

brunch Saturday and Sunday.

MALO

900 Mulberry St.; 244-5000

malodesmoines.com

Since opening this restaurant in May,

executive chef Scott Stroud and chef partner

George Formaro have been drawing diners

seeking the flavors of Mexico and beyond.

Located in downtown’s historic Fire Station

No. 1, now the Des Moines Social Club, Malo

has quickly become a lively spot. From classic

Havana cocktails to inventive Mexican riffs

on standard dishes, Malo is taking south-of-

the-border food in some new directions.

During Restaurant Week, Malo will offer

“Cubans and Cigars,” its signature dessert;

see page 10 for details.

LUCCA

420 E. Locust St.; 243-1115

luccarestaurant.net

Steve Logsdon’s Lucca enjoys rock star status

for bringing maximum flavors home to its

East Village dining room. The New Italian-

inspired cuisine is clean and simple yet

beautifully presented; the gnocchi is one of

the restaurant’s sought-after signature

dishes. With its sleek furnishings and

exposed brick walls, Lucca never fails to

attract a dashing clientele. Be sure to check

out the new space upstairs.

HOMEMADE TAGLIATELLE WITH TARRAGON CREAM SAUCE AND CRABCAFÉ DI SCALAA recent tour of Café di Scala’s basement led me through the optimally cool wine cellar and into the old mansion’s inner sanctum: the pasta workshop. I was struck by the simple beauty of this rustic yet neat-as-a-pin room, where the restaurant’s famed fettucine, tagliatelle and cavatelli are handcrafted from the most basic tools and ingredients. During Restaurant Week, diners can enjoy this simple beauty on the plate when they order one of chef Phil Shires’ fresh pasta selections. In this dish, tagliatelle—colored and flavored by fresh carrot juice—anchors the recipe, which also stars crabmeat, caramelized leeks and roasted tomatoes. A tarragon cream sauce brings it all together. WINI MORANVILLE

200 10th St.; 362-5222

www.raccoonbrew.com

This high-energy fixture on the west end of

downtown has been one of the favorite

gathering spots for locals and visitors since

1997. The restaurant serves first-rate,

thoughtfully prepared pub fare, including

burgers made with premium Iowa beef,

alongside highly regarded handcrafted

house brews. Raccoon River Brewing is also

home to regular specials, weekly live music

The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable,

and the patio offers an inviting spot to

enjoy nice weather.

SPLASH SEAFOOD BAR & GRILL

303 Locust St.; 244-5686

splash-seafood.com

About the only thing missing from this long-

standing go-to spot for top-shelf seafood is

an ocean view. A consistent winner of

awards from national organizations,

including Wine Spectator and the

Distinguished Restaurants of North America,

Splash revels in everything coastal, from fish

flown in from as far away as Hawaii to

Maine lobsters to the oysters on the half

shell. The clam chowder is exceptional, and

a comfy raw bar provides a laid-back

alternative to the upscale dining room.

During Restaurant Week, start your dining

adventure with the Splash Salad; see page 4

for details.

THE STUFFED OLIVE

208 Third St.; 243-4456

thestuffedolive.com

The Court Avenue district’s new kid on the

block brought an upscale yet casual venue

to the downtown scene late this spring.

Tapas and top-draw martinis are the focus

here. With the same owners as the Stuffed

Olive in Cedar Falls, a wildly successful

attraction there for a decade, this place

switched on quickly. Small plates deliver big

flavor, whether dressed up with sesame-

seared tuna or bourbon-sauced meatballs,

while the cocktail options are as far-

reaching as anywhere.

TABLE 128 BISTRO + BAR

12695 University Ave., Clive; 327-7427

table128bistro.com

A tricky harmonizing act is being pulled off

at this chic yet relaxing bistro. Chef Lynn

Pritchard, who co-owns the spot with his

wife, Sarah, is successfully coaxing classic

dishes to sing with the flavors of new-age

bravado. The result is a restaurant that soars

to remarkable levels of sophistication.

Despite the high degree of achievement, this

is an unpretentious place with affable service

and a super-smart wine list that offers tried-

and-true wines while inviting patrons to take

a leap of faith if they're feeling adventurous.

TALLY'S RESTAURANT BAR & CATERING

2712 Beaver Ave.; 279-2067

facebook.com/tallysbeaverdale

A Beaverdale landmark that is home to the

city's first rooftop patio, Tally's features a

vibrant vibe and an eager-to-please menu

with plenty of options. Vegetarians, vegans

and guests with gluten concerns are as

important here as at any full-service

restaurant in the city, as evidenced by the vast

array of choices and a dedicated gluten-free

fryer. Chef-owner Robert Sanda, who also

offers personalized catering services, oversees

an extremely versatile kitchen that touches a

lot of bases when it comes to Des Moines

favorites. During Restaurant Week, you’ll find

Tally’s popular mushroom risotto on the

menu (see page 12), among other favorites.

TROSTEL’S GREENBRIAR

RESTAURANT & BAR

5810 Merle Hay Road, Johnston; 253-0124

greenbriartrostels.com

A dependable bastion of culinary excellence

just north of the Des Moines city limits since

1987, Trostel’s is an elegant spot for either

special occasions or informal outings.

Award-winning chef Troy Trostel is a

devotee of seasonal foods and ingredients

grown or raised in Iowa. His time-tested

kitchen deftly lavishes attention on

everything from pizza, pasta and salads to

steaks and seafood. For more than a decade,

the wine service has regularly won

excellence awards from Wine Spectator.

CUBANS AND CIGARSMALOOne look at the menu of this Latin America-themed restaurant, and you’ll know that chef-owner George Formaro and his team have no desire to burden themselves with the gospel of authenticity. Dishes like Nacho Daddy’s Mac & Cheese and the Tijuana Trainwreck say, “Let’s take this Latin theme and have a little fun with it, shall we?” Taste the fun with Cubans and Cigars, a signature dessert featuring cake rolls shaped like cigars, complete with custom cigar bands. A chocolate brownie crumbled with powdered sugar (to look like ashes) and a scoop of coffee gelato complete the edible vignette. WINI MORANVILLE

Chef Sean Wilson, a James Beard

Foundation Award semifinalist, is a drawing

card for this adventurously intelligent

restaurant. Dishes are inspired by the

Mediterranean, and patrons will find menu

items that are far from ordinary. Everything

from the simplest cheese and charcuterie to

the most complex molecular dish finds its

way to tables here. Located at the edge of

Western Gateway Park, Proof also offers

beer, wine and inventive cocktails that

would not be counted among Des Moines’

usual suspects.

MUSHROOM RISOTTOTALLY’S RESTAURANT BAR & CATERING“We served our mushroom risotto last year for Restaurant Week, and it was by far the most popular dish,” says Tally’s chef-owner, Robert Sanda. Diners looking for a repeat performance will be happy to see the favorite on the menu again this year. Sanda stirs three varieties of mushrooms—shiitake, crimini and portobello—into the risotto, which he also flavors with shallots, roasted garlic and fresh sage; a little cream and Parmesan cheese enrich and embolden the mix. Although the dish is hearty enough for meat-eaters, its homemade mushroom stock and gluten-free profile prove that vegetarians and gluten-free diners can partake in Restaurant Week with aplomb.
