Fresko - Des Moines

So freaking good! I have celiac disease and there were so many great options of real delicious food! From what I had this time the Korean ribs and the candied yam creme brule were my favorite. I will be back!! Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly. So many options and I felt great after! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5

Great spot for really good food, good diversity of options, including healthy ones. Salads are unique and really good. Great bourbon selections and wines by the glass. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great for brunch or dinner! The food is delicious and the staff is always friendly. Get the breakfast tacos at brunch, you won’t regret it. Service: Dine in

Usually do pick ups but came in and sat at the bar for dinner with a friend a few weeks ago. Had a great experience with our bartender Lesly, she gave amazing recommendations for pescatarian dishes and good white wines. My friend stepped outside at 9pm to take a call since we asked for boxes and a check. I understand they close at 9pm but they had locked the door right at 9pm. I tried to let my friend back in and the host Adan told me I couldn’t let them in past closing for safety reasons. I tried to tell him we’ve been sitting at the bar for an hour and she still had an open tab and all her belongings at the bar and still wouldn’t let her in and said he would grab a manager. I could understand if it was someone new trying to join or late in the night but it was no later than 9:05pm. Was an extremely awkward and disappointing experience, our lovely bartender apologized and sympathized with us but still don’t understand why the host would do that and then never got an answer from a manager on duty. It’s upsetting that we never got an apology for their actions. Overall I like fresko but the experience I had with the host made me not want to go back.
