Hy-Vee Market Grille — Restaurant in West Des Moines

If you live close, it's super convenient and priced pretty fairly. The menu selection is limited though, considering there is a literal grocery store worth of food right there. I can only assume the kitchen staff receives no real training and consists of people with a casual interest in food prep but dont want to work at a fast food joint. Most of the staff is very friendly, but not that helpful if you have in depth questions about what is available, wine pairings, etc.

We visited from Mississippi. The food was great but the service even better. We met a kindred soul when we met our server Gabriella. She is the absolute sweetest and most thoughtful person ever.

If I am ever in Des Moines again, I will frequent your...
