Mulberry Street Tavern

Great experience at MST. Big thanks to Robert for taking care of us. There was a little issue with the seating and tables which was quickly resolved. Our waiter was knowledgeable and quick witted which I appreciated. My partner that I was with has a dairy sensitivity and they were able to accommodate that, would have been useful to be able to read the menu and have some that information in advance. The food and drinks were fantastic. They have a great local selection of beer and the cocktails were unique and adventurous. I had the MST burger with bacon and while a touch salty (to be expected -- also thank goodness). The food was fantastic. Drinks were worth trying and I'm fully supportive of flying outside of the safe zone when you have great fallbacks like local beer. I'm not going to knock Stars, if I could rate this on a scale of ten I'd give them an 8. The two things I'd like to see changed are, tell giving them access to the patio area. And some clear labeling for recipes for dine

Mulberry Street Tavern is a contemporary American style dining option located in downtown Des Moines. Nestled just inside a popular hotel, this fine ding option offers a good variety of American style cuisine. The lights are dimmed and the décor sets a romantic, upscale ambiance. We visited for my birthday dinner, a group of 5. We made reservations ahead of time which I highly encourage when you can especially in the current times. We did have to wait about 5-10 minutes after our reservation time to be seated. Once we were seated, our waiter greeted us in a timely manner offering water and requests of refreshments. This is where the establishment loses a star - the time it took to receive a beverage was discouraging. One of the individuals in our party asked for a brew when his entrée was served, and he didn't get it until his plate was cleared. Not ideal when you wish to enjoy your drink with your meal. He nearly forgot he ordered it until it showed up in front of him. Overall, I unde

Wonderful small plates and charcuterie boards. Oysters were fantastic. The $14 dollar cocktails were fantastic. The Iowa Martini is something to avoid. My burger was lackluster as the Sriracha pickles tasted more like a fresh cucumber. My partner's half chicken was burnt as well hence the three stars. Service was great it just seems the kitchen and the pricing don't align. After tip the bill ended up being $250. Not an establishment I would add to the rotation. Bubba, Fresko, Proudfoot & Bird are all better alternatives if you're in the area and looking for a pleasant meal where you won't hear the subwoofer and atrocious music from wedding parties in the hotel event room.
