Editorial Juice Review: Olympic Flame Restaurant
Olympic Flame serves Greek and some American dishes to the East Village area. Popular dishes include gyros, lamb chops, and Greek salads. However, American favorites like hamburgers and Steak de Burgo are also available. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, with many couples enjoying a romantic dinner for two. Olympic Flame has featured belly dancers every Friday evening from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the past 10 years.

Gyros!

I love everything about gyros! The Des Moines metropolitan area is not filled with Greek restaurants like some larger metro areas, but these are a few of my favorites.

This a playlist of my favorite places in town.

Places I wish were open late night

I miss the days of being able to eat anything after the bars closed in Iowa City.
