Azalea
Dining area as seen from the balcony at Azalea Restaurant, located at the old Kirkwood Hotel, 400 Walnut Street,in downtown Des Moines. (Bill Neibergall/The Register)

Azalea is the definitive fine dining spot downtown, offering an intriguing menu and formal yet open atmosphere. Take in the high ceilings and view of the kitchen, or ask for a table in the more intimate upstairs area, to enjoy a full meal. But don't be afraid to stop in when you just need a seat by the bar to grab an appetizer or dessert with a drink.
