How many times have you found yourself at a restaurant, smacking your forehead with the palm of your hand as you suddenly remembered that this was the night they served that amazing prime rib at your favorite brew pub? Or that it’s corkage-fee-free night at your best bistro? Or that your kids could’ve dined free if only you would have remembered that it was kids-eat-free-night at another spot?
 
To help you avoid those “I wish I were elsewhere” moments, I offer this daily guide to dining deals around Des Moines, which shows some of our area’s most compelling specials (savings on particular items) and features (items only offered on particular nights).
