We ordered sushi, clam chowder, boiled shrimp, and one of their daily specials. Everything tasted fresh, and there were so many options on the menu that we'd happily come back to try more! It's just outside of downtown Des Moines, making it a great stop on your way into or out of the city. If you're craving seafood while you're in Iowa, I'd definitely recommend adding this one to your list!

I reluctantly went with my wife and 2 of my adult kids. Waitress was friendly and did a decent job. We ordered our food when asked to order drinks just to make sure we weren't stuck waiting for her to come back if it got busy. I got a chicken sandwich with fries and coleslaw. Sandwich was dry. Had to bite so hard to separate it as I ate it. Anyone could make a chicken sandwich better. My fries were cold and chewy and the coleslaw was warm with a tangy taste like it was unsafe. I didn't eat the coleslaw due to fear of being sick. Waitress didn't come back for me to ask for anything. Kids food was ok. Wife's shrimp scampi was ok. Waitress walked by a few times skipping us. I don't think she was aware. Young ,doing her best. I had to go to the hostess to get my bill after the plates were removed by the buss boy and we were done staring around the restaurant for 20 minutes. Just wanted to go. I so wanted to have a good experience for my wife and kids and there memory of the 15 years that we enjoyed yesterdays in the past. I left a 20% tip regardless and was writing it out as the waitress finally showed up. She apologized. We said you're fine and thanked her. Cost was normal and didn't bother me. Food very disappointing.

The location is definitely odd: it's in the food court of a semi-deserted shopping mall at the south end of downtown Mason City, so you either eat at one of the tables there or take the food home. But the menu is extensive enough to offer something for everyone, and the people who run the place work very hard to deliver a quality meal. Mason City is lucky to have a spot like this for authentic Asian food. I hope the business is successful enough that they can move to a less strange venue -- it did seem pretty busy the afternoon I was there, so apparently the locals have begun to appreciate what they've got.

Be prepared to show a little grace, there were a lot of cars turning in there as we came up to it- from the food, I'm guessing they're always busy! My wife chose their mainline burger (no cheese) and house fries. Honestly, I think we could tell how good it was going to be when got out of the car and that awesome charbroil smell overwhelmed us. She loved it. I had the Chipotle Bacon cheeseburger on Texas toast, well done for me (they will prepare to your liking), which is charbroiled, then dunked in their home made bourbon sauce and served with Swiss cheese and jalapeños. The fries have some type of coating that makes them a little crispier and a little tastier. Even if you're cruising up I35, it's worth the detour into WC for a great meal. Plenty of tv's but even with a crowd, you can still have enjoyable conversation at your table. It's no wonder one whole wall is covered with "best of" awards. They deserve them. Bon Appetite!

This restaurant offers a polished dining experience with an upscale atmosphere that immediately…read moresets expectations high. The décor is refined and elegant, making it a great choice for special occasions or a night when you want to indulge a little. The service is unquestionably one of the highlights. Staff members are attentive, professional, and consistently go out of their way to make the evening feel seamless. From prompt seating to thoughtful check-ins, you truly feel taken care of throughout the meal. The steak itself is good well-prepared, flavorful, and cooked as ordered but it doesn't quite reach the level of the very best steakhouses in the area. While enjoyable, it lacks that standout quality that would justify the premium price point on its own. Speaking of price, be prepared: this is a high-end spot, and the cost reflects the fancy ambiance and top-tier service as much as the food. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for excellent service and an elegant setting, with steak that's good--just not the absolute best around.

Being in a transitional phase his kitchen is useless so if we want to eat it's got to be in a restaurant. We've been everywhere so no clue how this gem snuck past us. I would put them next to any of the high end places downtown without a second thought. The ambiance is clean, casual and cozy - think Colorado log cabin. It's not a big place so I imagine you'll find long waits on weekends. If so, wait. Trust me. It wasn't crowded because we typically don't venture out until late but 3/4 of the tables were occupied and several people were at the bar. Even so, it was easy to carry on a conversation without needing to raise our voices. It's difficult to choose what to order because everything sounds great. We ordered chicken fried oyster mushrooms for an app and they set the tone for everything else. Perfectly breaded and seasoned with actual flavor being the stale oil taste of a lot of fried apps. I had the Lobster Mac and it was absolutely decadent. There was a generous amount of lobster and the pieces themselves were substantial. The blend of cheeses was perfect. For the side (which wasn't even necessary because the size of the Mac was more than big enough) I got the Boursin Mushroom Au Gratin. I can't think of a word that describes how delicious it was. Perfect creaminess, rich with a slight tang...it could have stood on its own. My fiancé ordered the Iowa Chop and we were both shocked at the size of it. Again (yawn) cooked just right, not even a hint of the dryness you see a lot with chops. The Creamed Brussels Sprouts were great but I had eaten myself sick at this point so I had to admit defeat. Portions were big enough that I had plenty in the take home container for a whole meal the next day. I wanted to try the amazing looking pie but needed to be able to fit through the door to go home. Next time for sure. Service was really good. The server was laid back and quick with recommendations that she could back up instead of the standard "I like it" you get. I was shocked at the reasonable prices. These days $20 for a mediocre burger is standard so I couldn't believe the quality of food for the price. Our running joke is that once a restaurant starts laminating their menus, the quality is about to tank so I'm keeping my fingers crossed theirs steer clear. It's independently owned by the same people that own Barntown Brewing a few doors down. We will definitely try that out based on our experience here. My only critique is that they serve Pepsi instead of Coke. Seems like DSM leans that way which breaks my heart. My southern roots and common sense keep me loyal to Coca Cola. Where I grew up when you order a Coke the server asks what kind of Coke because it's just what you call every soft drink. Go. Go tonight. You won't regret it.
