Perfect circumstance, Perfect dishes, and Perfect server. Those three combo are matched with my favor. I strongly recommend this place for your special celebration. The only thing I want to suggest is to warm each plate before they serve. I ordered s Django Bar stake, which was awesome, but the plate was not hot so the dish became cold swiftly. Anyhow, despite of the temperature of the plate, I was satisified with the food, services, and circumstance of this place. Great! Thank you for making memorable experience.

Visited Iowa in Oct.2021. We were trying new cuisine and was led to this place. The outer and inner appearance of the restaurant was hip and cool, and classy. When you walk inside, you are greeted with happy and smiling faces. The first floor gave me the mellow, contemporary, younger crowd, but still classy. On the second floor (is where we were) it’s very elegant and fancy. The table settings were beautiful. We have never had French cuisine before, so we had to ask a lot of questions about everything. The waitress was polite, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made us feel like we were the only people in the room. Ok.. we ordered poutine and an additional French fries cooked with duck fat.The poutine was good. It had just the amount of everything and those combined flavors were there. The fries though…the were ok. We could not tell any difference between regular fries and those cooked with duck fat. We visited a restaurant in L.A. that had delicious fries, we naturally wanted to compare, but the other place won that race.The duck confit had and excellent presentation and the duck was not tuff and very flavorful. It also microwaved well the next day. This place is not very kid friendly. The menu was limited in options for children( well at least my child.) The space is not very disabled friendly. I have mobility problems and it was difficult to walk up and down the small curvy steps. Overall I give it a 4/5.

All of the food was honestly incredible ranging from the appetizers: bread and cheese plate and crispy onion rings to the entree: salmon to the dessert: amaretto mouse and the variety of cocktails we tried. But what truly made our experience was the service of our server Lauretta. From the moment we were seated, she served us with such a high level of warmth, friendliness, and attentiveness that truly made our 1 year anniversary extra special! She was so lovely to talk with, gave us the best recommendations for every single course and brought all of our food promptly and professionally. We are out of state but we would honestly come back again just for the pleasure of seeing her again and highly recommend that you visit should you be in the area so she can make your night as well. Thanks again Lauretta!!

I had enjoyed the food and ambience at Django many times in the last 10 years both for business and family visits. But after not visiting this place since the pandemic we decided to try it on it’s new location for my daughter’s 15th birthday about a month ago. What an expensive disappointment. Bill was about $180 and we hated all the food. We had to ask for three dishes to be sent back because they were raw. The dough was raw and swimming in oil in one, a burger was bleeding raw red all over the buns in a second, (can’t remember details of the third plate), the 4th plate was a piece of flavorless chicken breast with a salad tossed from a supermarket pre washed bag. It was early April and they had the AC on full blast. We were freezing the whole time even though our hostess and waitress did their best to raise the temperature. The waitress also agreed that the food was coming raw and sent it back to the kitchen only to come back with a lot more grease in it. Not even a shade of what this restaurant used to be. What a pity, a sad memory for my daughters birthday.

The ambience and decor tell you this is a hip, upscale restaurant downtown. However, the food was off for me. The French onion soup was bitter. The filet was bland, especially for $50. The spinach salad was about 8 leaves of spinach with tons of bacon and onions. The pot du creme was a tasty dessert and the service was pretty good. The cheese and charcuterie plate was pretty good as well. Maybe there was a new cook tonight or something, but wouldn't come back here.

Delicious food, nice staff, good atmosphere. Waitress forgot to get us one of our drinks so she comped a dessert for us; that made us feel valued. Could be argued portion sizes are slightly too small given the price. Still will be going back to try some more food though!

Great food, drinks, and service during our first time here! Updated - our second time here in sept 2021 was equally as great! We tried new foods this time, the scallops, bouillabaisse, escargot, and chicken were delicious, as were the salads and chocolate dessert. Also the no corkage fee to bring your own wine is awesome!

Came in to just have drinks while waiting on a dinner reservation at another restaurant. To my surprise, the place was so nice. Sat at the bar to enjoy a martini and ordered a Chef's Choice Charcuterie board. So beautifully presented and tasty.
