It's definitely preference but The Green House has my favorite espresso martini! Strong in both coffee and alcohol so it's a sipper! Less chocolate and more chai and coffee.

The decor is modern industrial and it's great. The space is beautiful and feels high end. The service is spot on. The server was professional? helpful and accommodating. It is literally perfect. The food is served family style, though. friend didn't want to do that. Ironically. my wife didn't like that either. So i'm use to it. Instead of splitting apps, we both had the same app: beef tartare. It was one of the best tatteres i've ever had. And I love this dish. We each ordered a pasta as our main. My friend loved his. Mine was ok, but too salty, which is never my issue. Nevertheless? the whole thing was really excellent. This is a great restaurant.

Both were great but those cucumbers were so good we got a second order. We also tried a few cocktails from the lounge menu. We asked specifically to see that menu as the food menu has a few cocktails but not as extensive as on the lounge menu. All the cocktails our table tried were great -- tastefully made and well balanced. Finally for the main course, we all tried a ramen. I got the Negi Shoyu which is chicken broth based and it was so flavor packed and delicious. Everyone was pleased and cleared their plates.

He brought the burger with a smile that could light up the room, checked on us just the right amount, and even laughed at my terrible food puns (sorry, Chase, I couldn't resist). He made the whole experience even better, and that's saying something because this burger was already stealing the show.

What I mean by that is, it does not look like a Mexican restaurant. But it EXCELS at Mexican cuisine. I highly recommend ordering anything you'd see at a Mexican restaurant. The drinks: The Blueberry Fields drink was good but pricey given the size and wasn't "blueberry" enough for my husband. I liked it, but I'd want it by the mason jar, and that would be super expensive. I had the hibiscus margarita and it was *very* enjoyable. The food: My husband had the Des Moines Po' Boy. I wish he would have realized that he was basically getting a sub. He liked the soft bread. Overall though, he wasn't impressed. He said it was kind of bland. But he loved the fries and ranch. I had the puerco en salsa verde--this dish is incredible! Really tender chunks of pork in a rich tomatillo salsa verde with beans and rice. The only thing that could be better is if there were 3 fresh corn tortillas instead of 2. There is so much rich, delicious, saucy pork to eat, that you need 3 to enjoy it all. The tortillas are fresh made too. So yummy! In summary: Go here and enjoy all the Mexican dishes!
