St Kilda - West Des Moines

The owner of this place is a liar who tries to punk people out of free public parking. As of now, he doesn't pay for parking for his restaurant but makes it out like he does. However, the food and service is decent... but hes still a jerk. 1 star ?

Honestly my favorite restaurant in Des Moines. The food is delicious and always look so appealing. My favorite is the salmon/steak and eggs. They change up the sides based on what’s seasonal. The place has such a nice and classy feel. The coffee tastes great. And the service is always great!

We had lunch celebrating some family birthdays on Monday. The server forgot our drinks and they took forever to come out. After we waited a half hour for our food, the server told us they were out of gluten free bread and asked if we wanted a different order. Why didn't she tell us that when we ordered so we didn't have to wait an additional 20 min for the new orders? She brought out two salads for two people at our table, then brought out the third several minutes later. One of the dishes we asked for it to be without aioli and it came with it, and it turned out she didn't know what aioli was (mayonnaise). Overall a disappointing experience.

Awesome experience here. Had a 9 month old with me sleeping on my lap and had workers asking constantly if I needed help. I believe it was the owner who ended up offering to get him scrambled eggs when he woke up. Not only was the food phenomenal but the staff went above and beyond. Can't wait to go back.

A comfy and modern atmosphere with so much natural light. Might have some of the best coffee in Des Moines! The chia and mocha were delicious. The food was delicious with the salmon and eggs having tons of flavor. And the breakfast sandwich had several layers crispy and thick meat.I will frequent St. Kilda for sure. Also some good dairy and gluten free options.
