Restaurants near Mcintosh Woods State Park

My server/bartender was awesome, as always. The beer and food were delicious, my only issue was the peppercorn sauce for the steak was VERY salty, which it hadn't been the other times I ordered it as part of the November special

It was big city great! There were three in our party and we each had different starters. Caesar salad, wedge salad and French onion soup which were all fabulous with such presentation! Our main entrees were also a work of art. I had sea bass in a chanterelle sauce, my husband had duck and our son had venison. The venison was medium well and was ordered medium rare but that could have been a misunderstanding. It was delicious anyway. The chef walked around to all tables checking on our food. We had dessert of molten lava cake with ice cream and a crème brûlée. All were wonderful. We had not been here before but will definitely return.

The food is very good, Thank you Rich!!! We shared FF so adequate side, It would be nice to be to get a small salad with the meal, included with entree. Our waitress was so fun!!

Overall enjoyed our time. The value is there (this is Iowa, after all) and the quality was OK. Flavors felt a bit dumbed down (but, again, this is Iowa.) The TV above the bar was kinda distracting from the booth we were seated in. My expectations were met and I will be back.
