Cabaret is finally changing. It's cleaned up now. I like the fun and intimate feel of this place. When its party tiime, it's Cabaret time!

I was there last night and i had four friends with me. We all ordered something of the menu and when we recieved our food nothing not even the cheese bread was cooked all the way through! we complained to the waitress as nice as we could because know one cared it wasn't a big deal, what do you do when food is cooked wrong you know? you send it back and they bring you something else.we waited three hours for the girl to return and by the time we left i had still not recieve everything that was included in my meal. Not one person apologized for anything and when we left we had to eat elsewhere.

I visited on 5/5/2007 and I agree with the other poster that I was disappointed with having to walk through the smoking 4-season patio in order to get to the non-smoking interior. It was packed all over and we did not see a waitress or waiter walking around. All we could see that it was wall to wall people. We walked around the place for a few minutes then left to go to Tonic where at least we could get a seat and a drink. It reminded me of Drink and I don't go there either. I had high expectations of the place based on the other comments. There were no open seating and the interior smelled like the patio as the door was frequently open. Where was the staff, the smell of food, the tables????? My friend and I were previewing the site as a place to come for her bachelorette in a few months. We will be going to the Johnston Cab instead. I gave it 0.5 stars as it has potential if the owners fix the issues with the staff, seating and patio.

The idea of a SMOKE-FREE bar is great IF that we true about this bar. Real GREAT that us non-smokers have to walk through the smoking area to enter the bar and then again to exit the bar. How much sence does that make? Could someone running the bar answer that question for me? How about a smoke-free enterance for the non-smokers!!!!! Unless something changes, we won't be back.

This is the "sister" bar to my favorite place, The cAb. And I must say to have a smoke-free option in West Des Moines is fantastic. I love the atmosphere; it is fun, modern with a twist of art deco. It is pretty laid back and very clean.

If you are into live performances they have a lot of the good local bands playing on the intimate stage. Or if you are into sports, they do have televisions around the entire place for your enjoyment.

As for the drinks, they have an amazing selection of martinis and the ones I've tried were made perfectly. And even though the bar is non-smoking, they offer an awesome heated patio for smokers, best of both worlds.

The service is a little touch and go at times, but it is still pretty new, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

I absolutely love this place and hope they keep expanding.

All can say is I love walking through a smokey patio to get to a smoke free bar...that was a smart move. I WALKED IN WAITED 20 MIN. FOR A DRINK AND THEY WERE NOT EVEN BUSY! I felt like I was in a maze the booth I sat in was way small for my 185 lb. frame what a terrible layout did this guy have his 5yr.old pull out the colors and say ok here it is ...what a joke! And why serve food if it tastes like crap we had 2 diff. apps they were both cold and mooshy yuck ... OH'WELL I wish them luck their going to need it!!!

FINALLY!!!! A club in West Des Moines that is SMOKE FREE!!!!!!!

I love the decor. It was sleek, stylish, and sophisticated. The four-seasons patio with fireplace is a great addition. It makes for fun atmosphere. The indoor smoke-free environment is a refreshing break away from irritating smoke-filled bars. It's a plus to have smoking in the patio area for those who want to light up with a drink. It is trully one of a kind. The various seating arrangements are a huge plus. I would like to see a few more items on the appetizer menu. The egg-rolls, spinach-dip, and shrimp-cocktail were great! The extended martini list is the best I've seen in town.......
