Cobble Hill Eatery Dispensary

I prefer the Webster when it comes to service, menu, and portion sizes. The restaurant was quite busy, and it has a long-standing history. However, the wine list features some unusual choices and includes only one Napa Valley option. Clearly, they must be doing something right to have been around for so long, but I don't think it's worth the drive to CR, in my opinion. There are multiple options in IC that I would choose instead.

The highlight of this restaurant is definitely the staff! They are incredibly friendly and accommodating, which truly reflects the quality of the establishment. I would return just for their excellent service. The interior ambiance is also wonderful; it feels upscale and modern. As for the food, it was quite good—maybe even great—but I wouldn't say it was exceptional. We tried the beef tartare, charcuterie board, and Parisian gnocchi, and while I enjoyed all of it, I found it a bit on the bland side. However, the cocktails were outstanding! Update: Three months later, I visited again, and the food was fantastic! I've updated my review to five stars, and I will definitely be returning.

This restaurant is arguably the best in the corridor. Other great restaurants in the area present great food that I could probably make at home. Cobble Hill presents fresh ideas using locally sourced, in-season ingredients where possible in ways I couldn't have come up with myself. It's also one of the few restaurants we consistently commit to ordering dessert. Their staff are knowledgeable, their cocktails are magnificent, and the wine list is unique. Their seafood is fresh and this is about the only place in Iowa I trust for raw oysters. If you were ever tempted to visit and haven't, move this restaurant to the top of your list.

Just amazing. Everything we ordered was way beyond our expectations. This is better than Michelin star restaurants I’ve eaten at. I got the pork and every bite was fresh and flavorful. Portion was perfect. We got the zucchini appetizer which was delicious. The chocolate soufflé was so creamy and sweet. The servers are all so friendly and knowledgeable about the details of the food and made us feel at home. It’s hard to say enough about how wonderful our experience was here.

Loved this place. Amazing and unique food with a menu that is always changing. Also, the cocktails are phenomenal. The bartenders (and chefs! here really know what they're doing.
