Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse Des Moines

There is no better place in West Des Moines for a business dinner, romantic weekend or after a work drink. After a number of long and frustrating flights you arrive at Hotel The Rewind. You drive your bags into the room, torment your laptop to bed [only enough to know that you are angry, but not enough to break it] and leave the room for Johnny in the lobby. You go to the Hostess station with a view that scares even the most widespread octane and meets Cienna. Although you look like a clogged Chihuahua, she welcomes you with the most welcoming smile and the positive attitude you have developed in months. You try to process the positivity that surrounds you as you 're leading to a table. You sit down and open the menu instinctively asking what just happened and are greeted by one of the many servers that are really there to treat you like a person. You order a drink, some water and end up in a really interesting conversation that takes five to ten minutes. This goes back when the drinks are served before you make an order for an appetizer. Everything is quiet, if a bit lonely, until the appetizer arrives. It's a meal. You have a spirit that dips salmon or bruschetta, and you think your stomach is done. The next drink. After you take a negro or bourbon, you are ready for a main dish. They care about the costs, but lead mental gymnastics to say that the company will pay for it or that this is a treat for itself... Well, it's and get what you want because you're worth it. There is absolutely no disappointment; each dish is carefully prepared and comes from the perfect temperature. Your intestine swells with the strokes of your fork and all about you loose meaning. You're full and paid. If you're going past the half empty bar, you're gonna call something. Their faces migrate to the row of empty chairs. You sit and Wade comes on you. This is your hardest decision of the night giving orders to a capable bartender, or let this bartender take you on a trip after dinner. Your results may vary. The trip ends, you stand irresistibly from your 4 post butt support and strive from the restaurant towards elevator or your dino burning go kart. You look right and Cienna is there, with the same real smile you wish a good night. If you leave this place nothing but appreciate and happy, you have failed in any way. No other hotel, hotel restaurant or chain restaurant has always appreciated me and welcomed like Johnny 's The Rewind. This place is really the standard how to treat people like people, and how to cook food at a high level without being pretentious. It is a welcome departure from the $30 slices of Avocado and 'fancy ified' chain restaurant dishes from other hotels.

This place has an exquisite menu selection. You can be seated under fancy chandeliers or have a seat at the bar. I took my son here for his 21st birthday dinner celebration with immediate family members. Not many restaurants have the drink selection like Johnny's so my biryhday boy and myself order Martinis although some opted for beer. It isn't just anywhere one can order Beef Wellington so my boys took this dinner option. I chose the signature Italian steak and others chose another Italian dish and even lamb for dinner. It was a very nice dinner you cannot have at just any restaurant. The restaurant served a special birthday pecan cheesecake with a candle for an added touch top off this phenomenal dining experience. The servers are dressed up and professional. I would like to go back for a more casual lunchtime and sit at the bar.

Came in about a month ago and had a wonderful experience. my server was Mac, who was very attentive and added a welcoming feel to our evening. I ordered the NY Strip, which was prepared excellently (practically melted in your mouth). The cocktails that we ordered were phenomenal as well. It was a bit pricey but totally worth every penny. 10/10 would go back.

The bone in Ribeye was full of flavor, done perfectly, and I could cut with a fork. The Brussel Sprouts were award winning good. At our table we also had the Chubby Cut Sirloin that was also done perfectly and delicious. The food here is top notch and the service is fantastic every time.

All was good and I asked to be away from other people as my husband is compromised and they did a great job of that
