    View of lounge area

    Let me start off by saying the ambiance and decor here is BEAUTIFUL! It looked like a luxury cabin vibe with super mindful touches and finishes. They have a beautiful lounge area when you enter that features a warm fireplace and a few casual sitting areas to grab a drink. The staff was all super kind and helpful, as well as professional. I came here for dinner on a Tuesday. They begin with complimentary bread and olive oil, and it was delicious! I ordered the steak and fries which features their daily cut. The day I was there, it was NY Strip. Unfortunately the steak was not up to par, and it was covered in a sauce which I felt was used to cover the taste. I also ordered a side of Brussel sprouts and they did feel previously frozen as well with the other veggies mixed in. The other people I was with enjoyed their dishes, so it might have just been what I ordered or an off night. Regardless, I do think this is the nicest restaurant in Pella area, and would highly recommend for a nicer dinner with friends and family!

    This was an amazing restaurant. The ambiance was incredible and the food even more delicious. We had the best server who was so engaging. She took great care of us and even took the time to show us the private rooms we inquired about during our dinner. Fantastic experience!

    Every time we eat here the food is amazing! The Thai wrap, pasta, pork chop, and salads are all delicious. Great wine and beer selection. The manager and staff treat you like family. Worth the drive from Des Moines.

    This place is best spot in town! The atmosphere was so warm and inviting yet also perfect for date nights or business meals. The food was absolutely incredible! Pork cooked perfectly and to pair it with a proper drink. The dessert was the perfect lightness to finish the meal. Also huge shoutout to the head bartender, he and his colleagues dominated the bar calling out and knocking drinks out. It's been a while since I've seen such professionalism behind a bar. I will definitely be back here

    Vibes: The ambiance was elegant, with modern décor, amazing lighting and with moderate noise levels, so perfect for great conversations. It's perfect for any occasion. Service: The service was alright; our server may have had too many tables, but she did her best. Food: Delicious and most definitely worth the drive from DSM! I started with the Portobello Fries with a side of White Truffle Aioli and all I can say is wow! The flavors paired perfectly with the mushrooms that were fried perfectly. I will drive back just to have those again. The Crab Cakes were the other appetizer, and they were good as well. I tried the Lobster Bisque which was flavorful but had no lobster which was disappointing. For my entrée I the Lobster Penne and Cheese, it had good flavor as well. I did try the Seedlips Crown Mocktail which tasted slightly like toothpaste, I wouldn't recommend. Pricing: Reasonably priced given the value of the food, worth every penny! Location/Parking: Finding parking was tricky as well as finding the actual restaurant. There is only street parking, so I had to park in front of another business. The restaurant is located on a corner inside of the Royal Amsterdam Hotel on the corner with the entrance down a passageway. I would definitely recommend it; I can't wait for the opportunity to go back!

    Filet mignon???
    Darrell T.

    I ordered the filet mignon and got that overcooked hockey puck. As most foodies, I ordered the steak to be cooked medium and I feel that it was well done. Also, I don't even think that cut of meat was a fillet.

    Delicious! I just love the location of this place in Downtown Pella. I like the option for a nicer place to have dinner with my mom when visiting her on a Friday evening. It's a little busy so my mom advised me that we need to get there before 5:30 or we will have to wait a long time to be seated! We got there at 5:10 on a Friday evening and were seated immediately. Great, quick service, and I really enjoyed my chicken parm. They also give a bread basket which is nice too. I always enjoy this place when I visit Pella.

    My family drove all the way from St. Louis to celebrate a college graduation, and I chose Liberty Street Kitchen based on the strong Yelp reviews and menu options. Unfortunately, our experience was a huge disappointment from start to finish. We arrived as walk-ins and were told there would be a 30-minute wait. That was no issue--we waited patiently and were eventually seated. However, once we ordered, the wait for our food was incredibly long, and when it finally came out, nothing was hot or fresh. The worst part? My brother ordered a filet mignon cooked medium, and it came out completely well-done. The server acknowledged the issue, removed it from the bill, and brought a replacement. But the second attempt wasn't any better--it was cooked medium-well and it wasn't even a filet. It was a roast. Completely different cut, flavor, and texture. After such a long wait and with such poor food quality, it felt like our special occasion was brushed off. I expected a much better experience based on the reviews, but sadly, I won't be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

    Over salted mussels.
    Amy J.

    Maybe it was because I came at closing and they thought they were at the end of their salt container when making their mussels. But wow! Their mussels dish was SALTY. My fingers were burning by the time I was done with the dish. Great amount but wow so salty. The bread was also completely soaked in butter. So if your body is ready to take on that much butter and salt, then this dish is for you. The corn chowder was good. Service was good. Ambiance was good.

The Whistle Stop Café on the north side of Boone is one of those places. There's plenty of parking, and from the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcome. My waitress, who I suspect may have been the owner, greeted me with a smile, took my coffee order right away, and made sure I never needed to ask for a refill. Bonus points for serving it in a pretty cool coffee mug that added a little personality to the experience. The service was fast without feeling rushed, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. More than anything, though, it was the hospitality that stood out. It's the kind of place where you're treated like a regular, even if it's your first visit. If you're looking for a welcoming local café with great food, friendly people, and a memorable small-town dining experience, the Whistle Stop Café is well worth making a stop.

We had the Baja Shrimp Taco special last Wed and restaurant week started so we had the entire Thai tasting menu on Friday. It was fabulous - please check it out. It is Midwest hot, not Thai hot. Staff is always great. We almost always end with carrot cake - I had ZoeBakes carrot cake in the Twin Cities and it was not anywhere close to as tasty as The Cafe's version. I would agree with some other posts that the lighting in some areas makes it very hard to read the menus or see your food. Updated lighting would be helpful. We try to come early and get a spot near the windows so that we can see better.

Disappointed to say the least, I came in the back door not realized there was a correct door and was rudely cut off by other patrons at the front desk. I had to wait several minutes to be waited on and the place had plenty of spots. Maybe because I was a party of 1... they didn't seem to care. After I shared what drink I wanted, I learned they were out... fine no problem. I asked about the Thai specials, the waitress was clueless. I had to ask for the restaurant week menu and ask about the specials. She said they looked good but couldn't describe them and hasn't tasted them. I got the salad on special, but get this... they were out of the main restaurant week special... such a let down. The ambiance was mixed, one corner was a cute date night the other corner was crying children. All dimly lit and outdated decor. The whole experience was off, I ended up leaving after my one drink and salad. I hope to give this place a second chance sometime but hope they aren't out of dishes and I can get a trained server. Maybe another night for sure!
