no, not Mr. Reinhardt.
no, not the sweet Mexi-ghetti western.
Went to a soft opening of the new restaurant Django last night.
it's where 43 used to be, attached to Hotel Fort Des Moines.
I was definitely impressed. Nice decor, reminiscent of Azalea but a little more cavernous. Plush booth seating and classic straight line table/chairs. HUGE horseshoe bar with an oyster/clam/seafood/charcuterie station in the middle.
Had lobster and crab cakes to start
Then a NY Strip with a Roquefort sauce and steak fries.
for any booze fans....they have a 25 yr. Talisker Scotch....it's like butter.
My only complaint is I got the distinct impression our waitress was at one time Amish. There was just something about her slow awkwardness.
highly recommended, opens next week I believe.
