Salt Of The Hearth - Des Moines

I have posted a review for SALT raving about this location before and I was so disappointed when I took guests there on a Friday evening. The appetizers were delicious! We had the artichoke dip and pita chips! I would go back for drinks and appetizers but STOP there. We had the caprise salad which had sour mozzarella cheese. I ordered a Margarite pizza and it was bare far the worst I have had- the basil was dried and the crust was Not edible. The crust was so incredibly crisp it was like a cracker. The service was good but it should be there was no one inside the restaurant on a Friday evening at 6:00 PM when all the other restaurants around were hopping! What has happened to this awesome location? I was so sad as we walked out boo hoo! I actually thought I was in a different restaurant.

The food is awful, and the service as well, the vibe is off, it doesn’t feel welcoming , please don’t even waste your time here

Cute place with Ok service and OK food. Overpriced for what you get. Nothing special to write home about.

This place had the potential to be very good. But I ordered my styles burger medium and it came to the table rare. The waitress was awesome and brought it back to get re cooked. But when she brought it back to the table it was the same burger with the raw meat juice soggy bun. The burger had been re cooked somehow and then just put back on the plate with all the raw meat juice. That had smoked into the bun and on my fries. She then took the burger back and didnt charge me for it. She also said she talked to the manager. But I went hungry. I dont think we will be back to eat there.

Known for sub-par food and treating staff poorly. Beautiful dining area, big kitchen space and catering.
