    Busy lunchtime-but near Des Moines airport. The sandwiches are all good. Midwest types will love the pork tenderloin. Soups and specials are well done.

    My wife Jalepeno Cream and I had the Bowtie Creole Cream. We both agreed that the Creole was 10 times better.

    It's a little dark but a nice place. Not much for a wine selection. The staff are delightful and accommodating. Highly recommend skips.
