Colton & Mercedes
Things To Do
Malo
This was Colton's "spot" that he took all of his dates. However, Mercedes chooses to look past this since their chicken enchiladas are THAT good.
Blue Sushi Sake Grill
Fun fact - this is where we went to dinner right after we got engaged! We hadn't told anyone yet and I was bursting at the seams with this secret. I just about told a random lady in the bathroom.
RoCA
We spent our first anniversary here, and almost got stranded at the restaurant, because the whole city flooded that night. Nevertheless, the food & drinks were amazing!
The Stuffed Olive Des Moines
We had our first date here! We were chatting so much the waitress had to come back 7 times to see if we were ready to order. I can't comment on the food, but the company was alright ;)
