We were seated right near the fire place and had the whole dining area to ourselves. Reasonably priced and tasty!
Americana lunch today. Yum.
Sushi is too pretty not to share.

Night Special Zombie Bacon Roll - Interesting, but I will not be combining bacon with sushi again..
Wednesday’s are half price martini and sushi night, but turns out the rolls we ordered were not half price….still tasty.
Delightful bubble tea.
Adong lunch today. 8C
Cosi Cucina is making another appearance on the blog, because I really really like eating there. Started with some scallops.
Had to get the Gorgonzola Pasta because it is absolutely delightful.
Ended with proper birthday dessert. (can’t tell you for sure what it was, but it was perfect.)
I love brunch. This morning’s brunch is brought to us by Django.
Beverage choice…..Bloody Mary I suppose…. I mean look at that thing!
So many enticing breakfast options to choose from. The Quiche Lorraine… side of fruit and a White Peach Bellini
to Le Breakfast Burger - ham, bacon, egg…got my protein for the day. Side of breakfast potatoes.
to the Omelet de Jour. Today’s feature omelet was braised beef, mushroom/onion hash, and cheese curds…whoa. Side: fries.
A bit pricier than I would like, but then again I was full for the rest of the day…until it was time to eat my left overs.

Been meaning to check out the new Exile Brewery since it opened. Ventured there on Friday to find a packed house.
Three Exile beers were available: Hannah-Weiss, Betty Blonde, & Ruthie. Our table went with Ruthies all around!
Started with some Exile fries. Parmesan wonderfulness. See full menu: http://exilebrewing.com
The Mac & Cheese was delightful. Homemade bacon and kale and cheesy goodness.
We also split a couple rounds of Lamb Sliders: feta, tzatziki sauce, and red onion
Cheers!
After dinner we walked a few blocks to catch the free acoustic Bon Jovi concert. #DesMoineskeepsgettingcooler
Hey, Everybody! Decided to eat somewhere new tonight… Just appetizers, but thought I’d share to revitalize the blog. Hey it’s a start!
Bacon Wrapped Andouille @ Buzzard Billy’s. Drizzle in maple syrup. Save this for a bloody mary kind of morning or if you love Brinner (breakfast for dinner, obv). As much as I love things bacon wrapped and gladly eat it off other people’s plates, this is the first time I have ever ordered something bacon wrapped in Des Moines. So kind of a big night…
Let’s celebrate with some Fried Pickle Chips. Can’t go wrong here.
and fireworks from the Icbus. They must have known I was celebrating.
Night cap at the Rooftop bar in the East Village. #IloveDesMoines
