“I like the cold brew, cappuccino was good, love the ambience, not a fan of scones, lacking flavor and overly dry for me, tried the croissant, it was overdone super hot fresh from microwave, not my ideal. But I will keep returning when in town for the good coffee, and nice ambience.”
“I LOVE Rollins Mansion! As a photographer - there are so many different perspectives and areas for photos. The options seem endless! The staff was very kind to work with and every single couple I have photographed there has been wonderful! The light OMG the light! Its always incredible. I've included photos from various parts of a wedding day at Rollins!”
“Beautiful hidden gem we found on the internet while shopping for Christmas. Outstanding customer service who went beyond the norm to ensure mom recieved her beautiful earrings. They are stunning in person and reading the back story on the corn used to print the jewlery made it such a unique gift this holiday. Thank you so much for going that extra step. Customer service is beyond 5 stars.”
“We had a wonderful experience at the Embassy Club with a large group of ladies. The food and service were exceptional!! I highly recommend the Embassy Club for an elegant and delicious luncheon.”
“Went to go see black flag with some of the boys amazing show and great venue cool lights and loud speakers if there’s ever a artist you’d like to see and there here I would absolutely recommend going to see them had a very good time ”
“I come here pretty frequently. Ricochet is always a great place to be, best Barcade in Des Moines for sure. Lots of fun games and the bartender was completely on top of it even though they were dealing with a pretty big party. If they had food I'd never leave!”
“This is easily my favorite store in Des Moines. I highly recommend to everyone I know. There are so many cute things in there for just about anyone! I've bought cute stickers and vintage decor there. I always love coming in to see their new items. Their lounge set up is super instagram worthy as well.”

“Jayme,I just wanted to reach out to you and tell you what an amazing job you and your staff did last weekend!You and Chris took our vision for the wedding and truly made it perfect! The tables, the room, the cocktail hour were all fantastic. The dual plated meal served to our guests was such a great option for a wedding and it was very delicious. We received lots of compliments on the food the next day.The bonus of having all of our table “things” waiting neatly for us the next morning was sure a blessing.Thank you again for making our day perfect! There were no surprises and no disappointments.Have a great rest of your wedding season!”
“My soon to be mother in law hosted my bridal shower here last weekend and it was gorgeous! The barrel room worked so wonderfully for our group. My MIL said the staff was phenomenal to work with. Jasper winery was so accommodating!! The sangria was of course a major hit with everyone, we all had multiple glasses! I highly recommend Jasper Winery for your next event in Des Moines!”

“The enrichment center is part of an on the DMACC campus in Ankeny. We have used the center for our annual infinite campus user group meeting. The facility is very clean and accommodating. The staff are very helpful in getting the access to technology and helping us help the presentations. It easily accommodated our group text of 300 people. We used a local vendor to cater our event and the facility is great at supporting them as well. We have already scheduled this venue for next year.”
“I went here with my 3rd-grader on a field trip to see a short play. The theater is well set up, the seats comfortable enough for the length of play we saw, and the lighting and acoustics were good.The only real complaint I have is centers around the situation with restrooms here. There are a number of signs letting patrons know that the theater has no public restrooms, and while this was not a problem for us during this play, if one of the kids had needed to use the restroom, I'm uncertain what would have happened. There are public restrooms in an attached location, and it is unclear why the theater hasn't made arrangements for their use, if needed.”
“This is a beautiful venue. They did a wonderful job preserving the history. I had prom here in 1989, so it was like stepping back in time. The staff was wonderful, and our event was so much fun.”
“I took my mother here on vacation. We both loved it and we wanted to stay in the dome forever. The gift shop had so many cool things I wish I could’ve bought them all.Whoever does the upkeep on the indoor garden, I appreciate you so much. This was so lovely and relaxing.”

“Grate place to stay if in town. Staff is very friendly and helpful.In a great location to get to anything you want to do.The only things I think need work are smart tvs in the rooms, and the hot tub needs to have some work done on it.”
“I recently had my wedding reception at The District and was so happy with the service and the venue! Erika was so friendly and easy to work with and made everything very stress free. The food and drinks were great and the catering/bartending staff was super friendly and accommodating. I got compliments from my guests all night long on how beautiful the venue was.”

“Such a lovely spot for a date night. I used to work here back in high school when it was café di Scala and I had not been back since. Went for an anniversary and was treated with champagne and such a good meal. I got the seafood risotto and everything was phenomenal. The pizza was spot on and everything was delicious!”

Sooo appreciated! Just a fun & kind group of people! Thanks so much to "SON'S OF GLADYS KRAVITZ" for another phenomenal night of music! Thanks to the Croation Center & their amazing staff for making it all possible & thanks to all who attended for helping to "KEEP LIVE MUSIC ALIVE"! ?”
“Wonderful and well executed concept. We enjoyed every moment from being greeted on the way in to being wished a nice evening on the way out. Waitstaff was knowledgeable and friendly. My steak was perfectly cooked, the beet risotto was also spot on. The cocktails were a bit off, one too sour the other too strong, but we drank them ;) prices were in line with expectations. Recommend for an evening date, supporting local farmers, and trying interesting new dishes.”

“Check in was speedy and quick . Parking was up close. Griffin was very helpful. Shuttle driver Bill and Scott were very helpful, friendly and made sure our visit was pleasant. Hotel is clean, housekeeping was helpful as well. Location is in the Downtown area and the shuttle was available to take us to the fair, and farmer's market. I love the Holiday Inn and will definitely stay with this franchise. The pool and hot tub looked refreshing but I didn't get a chance to soak. Breakfast was nice and hot. Check out was speedy as well. Thank you for a pleasant time .”
“Love the drinking fountain. It's got a filter to refill your water bottle with filtered water! My husband and I go there for Christian Conventions. Nice place.”
“(Translated by Google) We were at a party in this small room but it has good acoustics and although it is small it is a very good size for a family party. Just need a place to park(Original)Estuvimos en una fiesta en este salón pequeño pero tiene buena acústica y aunque es pequeño es muy buen tamaño para fiesta familiar. Solo falta lugar para estacionarse”
