Excellent from start to finish. Our server could not have been more accommodating and Paleo helpful. Food was delicious as were the Bloody Mary's. Thanks for a great way to celebrate a birthday. Holly is amazing.

I have been a fan of LeJardin since it opened and have held important personal celebrations there. Am so sad that Tag is needing to close - we cannot have too many options for fine casual dining in Des Moines. I sure hope you re-open elsewhere! MJ Musser

It's entirely unfortunate this Beaverdale establishment is closing its doors in late August. I find their weekend breakfasts/brunch among the best in Des Moines. Wonderful crepes and unique omelets. I plan to return again before they go -- will definitely miss them.

We were sad, when we heard Le Jardin was closing in August because it is one of our favorite restaurants. We have followed Tag around the city and we hope he opens another place. You can count on the food being of high quality, interesting, and always good. We plan to return before the end of August.

Talk about a gem, right in the heart of Beaverdale. Service is thoughtful, menu is appealing, and the presentation and execution of food is exquisite. One of our favorite places for "every day" and also for special occasion.

I had not been to Le Jardin for awhile. The food proved to be delicious. I had Bouillabaisse that was full of shrimp, oysters, and scallops, with a flavorful broth. My friends had a fluffy omelet that was stuffed with vegetables and a thick juicy hamburger with cheese that did not disappoint. Chef Tag Grandgeorge always puts out a tasty meal.

My wife and I treated our daughter and her family to brunch after church. It was our first time at Le Jardin as well. Everyone very much enjoyed their meal selections and would gladly return to try other selections.

The salad was outstanding! Omelettes looked good and those tat ordered enjoyed them. I ordered duck and pasta. Not at all impressed. All the desserts were excellent. Fresh coffee was not locally sourced-Starbucks. I would go back for salad and an omelette or dessert.
