    It was another great Sunday evening at Louie’s Wine Dive. The food and service was great , but the jazz duo was amazing. You can’t experience this kind of music experience at a restaurant anywhere else in Des Moines …especially on a Sunday night. I encourage you to experience the food and wonderful jazz!

    Our server/head bartender was exceptionally kind and attentive. The food was delicious, the atmosphere friendly. Chuck made our night special, though. Thanks, Chuck!

    Not great. A series of mishaps including forgetting to cook our ticket, forgetting food items that should have been included, and generally not particularly appealing food that wasn’t worth the premium. It looked sloppy and was nothing special at all.

    Wait staff was wonderful. Food left quite a bit To be desired. My noodle dish had very little flavor. We ordered dessert and they were not cooked on the inside.

    10/10 as usual! Louie’s routinely knocks it out of the park and never disappoints. Francine was a fun and easy server and it was a great start to our New Years Eve!

    Thank you for the amazing review! We're thrilled to hear Louie’s delivered once again, and that Francine made your New Year's Eve extra special. See you next time!

    My favorite place to visit in Des Moines. Incredibly charming and wonderful experience every time I go. Hyvee next door is fun for wine drunk grocery shopping afterwards.
