- JjandbMinneapolis - St. Paul •10 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoOur server was attentive and efficient. The happy hour menu was extensive and very reasonable. The fried calamari was fabulous, though too large for one person. The lettuce cups were distinctive, featuring chicken with peanut sauce, and a mix of vegetables. We are definitely going back.More infoBlue Sushi Sake Grill - Des MoinesPrice: Moderate• Sushi• Des Moines•4.7
- SShannonVIPIowa •11 reviews4.0Dined on Mar 2, 2025The menu choices are varied enough for everyone to find something they like. I had the harvest bowl which was delicious. Our waitress was prompt and checked back in at appropriate times. It can get a bit noisy with large tables, but we were still able to carry on a good conversation.More infoTupelo Honey - Des MoinesPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Des Moines•4.5
