    Excellent food. Nice ambiance. It did get pretty loud as more people filled tables. Server was friendly and efficient.

    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.

    There for wife's birthday. 4 kids (teenagers and up) and one SO. Had a number of appetizers, all of which were excellent. Pickled cucumber. Baba Ganoush, Roasted Carrots, Bacon Wrapped Dates, Spanish Cheese, and meatballs. It was great fun passing the small plates around. Introducing our children to the many different foods. We have been a number of times. Pizza and pasta were excellent as always. The kebab was quite good. Chiopino, good if not quite what you might get in San Francisco. Very busy, but to be expected on a Friday night. Service was good. Prompt, attentive. Only drawback to Eatery A is it is rather loud, it is difficult to hear the person across the table, not impossible, just challenging. It isn't cheap, but nothing is overly pricey. It is just al a carte. $315 including tip. for 7 of but only 3 drinks among us. 6 apps and 7 entrees? Pretty reasonable and always a good time and excellent food.
