    We had a lovely brunch today after a long flight into town. The food was delicious, served very quickly and wonderfully presented. Our server was friendly and engaging. We were even able to sit in a booth to watch Hawkeye football. Highly recommend for people who are looking for healthy, delicious, gluten free options.

    Food and cocktails (which are never cloyingly over-sweet as is common in DSM) are consistently well-balanced and excellent in every respect. My lovely dining companion, an amazing cook in her own right, loves it here, and trust me, that is a very high bar. Only demerit in my opinion is the loud Manhattan-esque techno music that makes it hard to hear people. The younger and less curmudgeonly might love that , though. We will go back.
