Service was prompt and fast.
The ambiance is very classic.
We ordered a bunch of appetizers as they looked more unique than entrees.
I especially loved the Bangladeshi Chicken on Stick and Perogies. The cocktails we ordered were great as well.

Owner response

Hi Ojas; Thanks so much for your kind review! We're thrilled you enjoyed our Bangladeshi Chicken Skewers and Perogies as well as the cocktails! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Such a wonderful dinner at HoQ! This was our second date night out at HoQ, this time for our anniversary.
Sarah, the manager and our server could not have been better.
It's so great to support a local establishment that is well managed and people work hard to please their guests.
The food was fabulous! It was a great mix of known and lesser known dishes.
The wine selection was very thorough.
We love the farm to table approach.
We will return!!!

Hi Ron; Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review.
Happy Anniversary! We're thrilled you chose to spend your special day with us.
Thank you for your kind words about Sarah-we'll be sure to pass your feedback along to her.
We're so glad you enjoyed your meal and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Jeff was our waiter, and he was extremely knowledgeable of each dish and drink served down to the type of glass the drink was served in.
The meals, from starter to dessert was exactly how Jeff described them.
Our party of 4 tried almost half the menu and everything brought to our table changed our minds on dining in the east village.
We all have eaten at other amazing local, non chain restaurants, but HoQ has officially earned a #1 place marker for all of us.
Additionally, my wife and I will be turning HoQ into our weekly date night location not just because of the extraordinary service and food, but of the thoughtful atmosphere that each meal had such a stellar standard placed on them.
Honestly, downtown Des Moines had so much construction and all of the Pride events, that almost caused us to cancel our reservation and just avoid down town, but the 3 block walk was perfect and we’ll deserved because who couldn’t use a few more steps in their day.
It’s not the restaurant’s fault for the city’s construction and if I have to walk a mile next time, I will for HoQ.
It was totally worth every minute and every penny.
