Django - Des Moines

TLDR: nice happy hour with a classic interior Came in for happy hourGot oysters at 1.50 a piece.

A wonderful spot in downtown Des Moines! We went here on a Friday night for dinner, and really enjoyed the steak, the sides, and the wine! Hint, get a

I was so excited to have a date night! I had high hopes for this restaurant and was so sad when it just did hold up to the standard set by all the other

Menu items that are to die for: Grilled Niman Ranch Pork Chops: 2 giant pork chops served over a sweet potato hash. Recommend medium cooking temperature. Seared Sea Scallops: 5 scallop medallions served with lobster mashed potatoes, asparagus, topped with beurre blanc sauce. With so many incredible steaks to choose from, I recommend The New York Strip Au Poive (translation: with pepper), a 14oz or 10oz peppercorn encrusted New York strip served with haricot verts (pron. hair-ee-co vare/green beans), and dauphinoise potatoes. If you are curious about Django, come sit at the bar on a Friday night and let us take care of you!

We were looking for a new place to add to our mix for dinner and cocktails. We had been recommended by several people to give it a shot and we were definitely not disappointed. The Escargot was amazing. The Scallops were unparalleled and the spinach goat cheese mac was a great new experience. To top that off happy hour wine was very well priced. We will definitely make this a regular addition to our mix of restaurants. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service.
