Urbandale restaurants

[cysmiley]

Looking for a nice restaurant in Urbandale, good beer selection, nice early business dinner type place. Don't have a big time window to make it downtown. Any suggestions?

Urban Grill has an awesome happy hour. Half price apps and drinks 4-6. Food is pretty good.

Beer House on 86th.

Whoops not business nice. Second Urban Grill for Business.

How is that after their remodel? Haven't been since before they closed down.

Remodel made it way nicer inside. I would say the inside is a wood/stone lodge type feel now.

I would go up to johnston and go to the greenbrier or Simons

I agree with Urban Grill. Another place is on Merle Hay & Franklin is Simons, or Cosi Cucina on 86th St. in Clive.

It’s serve yourself, definitely not suited for a business dinner.

I second Urban Grill and Cosi Cucina.

Taki or Irinas could work too (neither of these are beer places).

Awesome that Urban and Cosi are still around. They were staples in the early 0's

Felix and Oscar's is a great place featuring Chicago style pizza, just north of Merle Hay Mall, and is a comfortable place for folks of all ages:

Blue Shark

Where’s the Blue Shark? It’s been two years since I’ve been gone.

Across 86th from the Library

The answer is go somewhere else. Urbandale isn't what your looking for.

Cosi Cucina

This is our go to for every almost every date dinner or extended family dinner. Just phenomenal.

Cosi has changed hands a couple times but I think it’s back in the hands of the original owner. I can say the quality hasn’t dropped off a bit.

I don’t make it there often but there is only one place I go when I’m in that area. Taste of New York. Best pizza in central Iowa. Probably not suited for business unless they are fellow Iowans that are use to eating trash pizza from gas stations.
