Sam & Gabe's at The Lyon - Des Moines

A beautiful unique view of the moines and fabulous eating make for a remarkable evening!

A great culinary experience from beginning to end. the personal was on their game-efficient and friendly. eating was excellent and well plated. highly recommended.

Our first visit, not our last one. our server, jordan, was a joy. friendly, helpful, worked with the bartender to recommend weine, recommended the best dessert! my man had the pork chop special, I had the ribey, we shared the chocolate box! great experience, we will return.

I enjoyed the food and the view of the Des Moines skyline. Two items that would have made my visit better is to marginally increase the brightness of the lighting because I struggled to read the large print on the menu and couldn't read the small print at all (20/20 vision). I had to take my menu in the hall to read it. The second is to ask the servers to speak a tad louder so we could hear their recommendations on wine and menu. I understand why the lighting is dim and why the servers are quiet but I am not visually impaired nor am I hard hearing and couldn't understand the menu or server. That being said we had a lovely experience and would recommend it to others.

We were celebrating my husband’s birthday. Our host was superb and our waiter was great, he even brought my husband a cookie with a candle in it when he heard us mention his birthday. Great service!
