ALBA IN THE PRESS

The Des Moines Register's Press on Alba in Des Moines, IA

"East Village restaurant Alba serves up American food with an imaginative twist. Its Monday night happy hour special ($5 burgers and cocktails in the bar area) has been a staple of our dining routine for awhile now."

DSM Magazine's Press on Alba in Des Moines, IA

"Every time I go to Alba, I’m struck by the reasonable prices—food this imaginatively detailed would set you back much more in a big city. Night after night, Simon and crew serve up colorful tumbles of market-fresh produce and offbeat grains, often starring them in uncommon ways."

435 Magazine's Press on Alba in Des Moines, IA

"Chef/owner Jason Simon’s Alba, in the charming East Village, is one of the city’s current faves and for good reason. Nominated in 2010 for a James Beard Restaurant Award and voted “Best Restaurant” by the Des Moines Register in 2010 and 2011, Alba is an experiential cuisine encounter not to be missed."
