Food came out fast, which was nice. The kitchen did miss our appetizer order, but our server was on it. She took it off the bill without any fuss. Solid service there.

We booked the private room for our group, which was nice and roomy. The food was really good, plenty of it, and the desserts were a highlight. Our server was great&mdash;she even snapped a photo of our whole table for us.

Friday steak special is the move. That reverse sear gave it a really nice crust, and the inside was super juicy. Bread pudding was solid too. Just a heads up, it gets busy so maybe go a bit earlier.

The grilled chicken sandwich was so good! Jess was super nice when our order got mixed up. Perfect spot to catch up with friends.

The spinach salad with the warm bacon dressing is what I keep thinking about. The dressing actually comes out warm, which is nice. It&#39;s got a good balance of flavors, not too heavy.

The ribs were the star of the show for me. So tender they just fell apart, and the seasoning was spot-on. That&#39;s the kind of dish you remember.

Had our rehearsal dinner here for 53 guests. The private room worked perfectly. Robert and his team were really on top of everything from start to finish. Food and drinks were spot on.

Solid rooftop spot for a drink. The downtown view at sunset is the main draw.

They took care of our big group without any fuss. The space is really open and the tables are spread out nicely, so it never felt crowded even with a full house. We shared the fish nuggets and crab Rangoon dip easily.

Solid spot for bar food. The breaded veggie patty had great flavor and was surprisingly filling for the price. Cheese curds are a must-try. Drink prices are fair, which is nice.

The fried oysters and onion rings were a great start for sharing! Everything we tried after that was just as tasty. Perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends.

Love their beer selection. Always a solid lineup plus some fun seasonal stuff. The Tip the Cow is my go-to, but doing a flight is a great way to try a few.

The breakfast was fantastic, but the portions were a bit small. Loved the quaint downtown vibe though!

The chicken fajita salad was solid, fresh ingredients and well-seasoned. Lobster one was tasty too, though the lobster pieces were a bit small. Good spot for a quick lunch.

Been coming here for years. The Blackberry Smoke wrap is solid, good sweet and spicy kick from that chipotle sauce. Always get a decent pile of fries with it. The Summachetta&#39;s different, but I liked it.

The Korean fried cauliflower is a solid choice for vegetarians. Their veggie burger is pretty good too.

Stopped here on a road trip. The flight of fries was a fun idea, loved trying the different seasonings. That lake view though, really made the stop.

The Star Wars stuff mixed with the Irish pub vibe is a fun combo. It&#39;s a cool, laid-back spot to hang out. Food was fresh and solid.

The burger was solid, but those fries... I couldn&#39;t stop. Perfectly crispy, well-seasoned. I ended up ordering a second basket just for myself. Service was friendly and quick.

The bison burger was so juicy and cooked just right. You can totally tell they use good ingredients. My friend and I split it and it was perfect for a casual catch-up. A bit pricey, but worth it for the quality.

Steak was a pleasant surprise. Cooked perfectly, delicate and buttery. Just the right amount of fat.

Huge portions here. Got the loaded fries and a pepperoni pizza. Couldn&#39;t finish it all, had a whole box of leftovers. Good bang for your buck.

Great spot for groups. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for a long lunch with friends. Food came out quick, which was a plus. Could be a bit loud inside when it&#39;s full.

Always my go-to spot in Iowa City. The menu&#39;s huge, and they get your food out in like 5 minutes flat. Honestly, it&#39;s way better than you&#39;d expect for something that fast.

Convenient spot with friendly staff. The pasta was pretty good, a decent portion for the price. It did take a bit longer than expected to come out, but it was fine.

The atmosphere at Wasabi is fantastic, making it a great spot for a date night or a casual meal with friends. The lighting is relaxing, and the decor adds to the overall experience.

Server Jes was on point. Quick with recommendations, handled a busy Friday night well. Food came out fast. Solid service.
