★★★★★ 5.0 Anna Jordan · Dec 2025

My first experience at Destination Grille was beyond what I was expecting. The size of the restaurant can intimidating. The holiday decorations and the atmosphere made the restaurant feel so comforting. My friend and I were told a 30 minute wait, we got seated 10 minutes later. Our server, Sam, was excellent. She was respectful, very chill, and knew the menu (also created very good holiday drinks)! Food was AMAZING. I would come here every night if I could 🤗

Perfect place for date night or any night! Prices are higher than an average restaurant but you pay for what you get and it's worth it. Our waitress Jade was friendly, knowledgeable and hardworking. The drinks were well made. Food came out hot and flavorful. We didn't get dessert as we were stuffed.

The seafood mushrooms were fantastic. The lobster roll would have been better with a different bread. The parmesan chicken (with gnocchi) was fantastic. The drinks were very good. Service was above and beyond!

★★★★★ 5.0 Beau Geer · Sep 2025

James, ED and JohnAnne was as amazing as the food. Your Minnesota family will be back every single time we come down to Iowa. The food was absolutely fantastic. We had Prime, Rib, Fillet Medallion Duo, Gnocchi & Cheese, Honey Pepperoni pizza and a bunch of fabulous drink 🍹 The atmosphere was 2nd to none with a very fun vibe and they (staff) brought the house down with such great attitudes with genuine care. You feel like family when you leave ❤️ #MinnesotaLove

★★★★☆ 4.0 Antonio Debus · Feb 2026

I started with a Sam Adam's Cold snap served in a, not frosted, but ice cold mug and a house Ceasar salad with shaved parm. Salad was great, considering I arrived 30 min. before closing time. (THAT GUY). I used the very clean restroom while I waited for my 4 oz fillets. My server was fantastic, reassuring me that I'm not, that guy. He brought me some homemade bread that was above average... a high quality butter or olive oil and parmesan would have been nice with the bread. Some cracked pepper would have been nice on the salad in hindsight, especially if it were offered. All that aside, next came my twin 4oz beef fillet medallions. One was delivered with a fromaged top of blue cheese over asiago mashed, while the other was delivered with a truffle parmesan crust also over aciago mashed,
