- MmichaelChicago / Illinois •14 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe have never had an experience less than excellent at Flemings. Erica did a fantastic job, and was attentive, but not overbearing. The entire staff always make you feel welcome and treat you as if you have been there 100 times! The chef’s made each course to perfection and the taste of the Tomahawk Steak was amazing.More infoFleming's Steakhouse - Des Moines$$$$• Steakhouse• West Des Moines•4.9
- KKelseyIowa •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoad the best girls night dinner at 801 Chophouse. Our server, Chloe, was absolutely phenomenal! She gave honest wine recommendations for our dinner selections and gave spot-on insights to the menu that made the entire experience feel elevated without ever being pretentious! Every suggestion complemented the meal perfectly, and you could tell she genuinely knew and cared about the menu and our dining experience. As a patron, this is what great hospitality feels like! The atmosphere was classy and intimate, the food was outstanding, and the service made the night unforgettable. Perfect place for a special dinner, celebration, or just a much-needed night out with friends. Already looking forward to going back. 🍷 We enjoyed the special carpaccio appetizer, summer strawberry salad, east coaster oysters, waygu filet, a surf and turf, and a plethora of sides. The perfect mid- week girl dinner splurge. Chloe was patient with our lack of timeliness, attentive to needs, and the best host! We are so grateful for our experience and are sure to be back soon.More info801 Chophouse – Des Moines$$$$• Steakhouse• Downtown Des Moines•4.8
