Quarterdeck — Restaurant in Des Moines

OK, to be honest, you are sort of at the end if the land and it gets crowded by all the boaters at the Marina. My wife is into live music, and there is no cover charge and the music starts at a reasonable hour. Though, sometimes you have to mess with the parking lot bandits and pay. The staff may 'validate' your barcode ticket, several times I have not paid at all. The music is fine. Most folks are respectful of thenscene, not having loud conversations. There are dogs and kids, so, be ready for that. There is a tent, so some shade. There is a converted espresso stand that has gone through several upgrades. They now seeve draft beer, wine, coffee, Macrina Bakery goods, and a few heat and eat offerings that are fairly tasty. All of it is reasonably priced. They often have food trucks, too, outside food is welcome. The last two times I did not see Mackenzie, who seemed to be everywhere, all the time, taking care of business. That woman is amazing.

There is also a snack bar at the far end of the parking lot, and a pier for sunset...

As a proprietor, he above all people, should wear a mask if he wants to integrate with the array of customers - so that ALL customers who would like to patronize his establishment, and still try to remain safe, can do so without an unexpected visit from him with no mask -- after he has visibly spoken to, and been in close proximity to, multiple...

UPDATE: it has now been 4 MONTHS and I STILL can’t get ahold of anybody.

Original: I’ve been wanting to try this place for the longest time! However it appears that it’s not accessible for many disabled people.

I am both HOH and have mobility issues. My friend said that they don’t have a ramp and only a staircase. Therefore not accessible for people with physical disabilities. They also don’t have indoor seating. Only outdoor and none of them (according to my friend) are accessible.

I then noticed that the button for online ordering option isn’t working. It directs me to a page that is blank on their website. I reached out to Quarterdeck several times through their website over the past month. I couldn’t find their email. I have yet to receive any...
