Top Five Best Desserts in Des Moines
"The French Coconut Tart starts with a sugar-cookie crust. The filling involves flaming some coconut rum and a magical mix of sweetened coconut milk, egg yolks and other ingredients that result in a rich, custardy showcase for this much-loved/much-maligned ingredient.
Coconut lovers all over town are grateful."

“As Good as it gets! Everything on the menu is fresh and made from scratch on the premises. The food is terrific! There is always an owner on the floor, so service is always good. The wine list is interesting, and the prices are incredibly low! What a warm, comfortable place to eat!! It doesn't get any better...anywhere.”

“It's called Sam & Gabe's Italian Bistro, but when you open the door to the popular restaurant, it's not the usual bistro sensations (that hushed murmur of intimate tete-a-tetes, the subdued sizzle of an open kitchen) that hit you first.
Step inside, and you're greeted with the sexy scent of steak and martinis; simultaneously, you hear the noodling of a jazz trio mingled with laughter-spiked conversations.
This ain't no bistro, you think. This is a supper club. And you know you're in for a fine old time.”
