The open-hearth kitchen produces shareable worldly tavern fare, hearty entrees and, hands down, the best burger in Des Moines. Enjoy perfect classic cocktails, eclectic award-winning wines, and interesting regional and foreign beers on draught.

This wasn’t just dinner…it was an experience! Andre our waiter was phenomenal. He made us laugh and gave us recommendations on the menu which did not disappoint. From the service, to the drinks, to the food and the ambiance, MST knocks it out of the park! We will be back

Went to the Valentine’s Day pre-fixe. Good options and tasted ok but the whole meal from arrival to departure just seemed robotic and automated with little imagination - which is a distinct change from what we have experienced here before. Just generally disappointing based upon expectations from previous visits. One piece of advice - do not allow yourself to be seated at the high top tables (which we were even though the reservation was made a month in advanced). The chairs are too short for the table making for an uncomfortable dinning experience.

James, thank you for joining us and we want you to know we appreciate you being a loyal fan. We are sorry to hear your experience did not live up to previous visits and expectations. We do hope you will return, as we want to make sure you get the best treatment possible. My name is JC and if you would like to discuss this further, please call the hotel. Apologies again.
