    The large selection of vegetarian options is so great. Service might have been considered slow, but allowed for uninterrupted conversation.

    The food was great. There were four of us and we shared everything, so we took advantage of the “three for” and “two for” offerings. It was a lot to keep track of and our server did a great job. BUT, It is really LOUD!

    Great service. Very attentive staff. But 2 pizzas with a drink each was still over $50 even on happy hour.

    There is not a restaurant in the Des Moines metro that provides a better value than Eatery A, especially during their happy hour.
