712 Eat + Drink

My sister and I went there for lunch. The food was incredible. First, the menu is so tempting. We wanted to order everything. We settled with crab Rangoon tots, elote fries, the artichoke flat bread and a sandwich. The sandwich was just ok in the first few bites. Turns out all the flavor items had shifted to the side of the bread. Once we rejigged the toppings it was super flavorful. The Rangoon tots were by far our favorite with the elote in a close second. The flatbread was nice but filling. Service was quick and the wait staff were all really helpful and friendly. We'll be back again for sure!I forgot to take pictures of everything else!

This is a great little restaurant they had great specials and beer selection as well as awesome cocktails and mock tails.I had the short rib sandwich with a small side salad which was a great salad!The service great very attentive and awesome attitudes!The restaurant itself was adorable, amazing lighting and murals on the wall.I was very happy here!

712 is a great place for brunch and dinner, or even stopping in for cocktails and appetizers. There's nothing on their menu that isn't good! Definitely recommend the Crab Rangoon Fries or Crab Rangoon tots as well as their Brussel Sprouts! They have a great brunch food and drink menu. I had the Peanut Butter Espresso Martini and the Butchers Omelet and both were delicious! Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. I love the wall mural and how some of their items on the menu have a Council Bluffs or Iowa theme. Overall, I highly recommend 712 and hope they are on your dining rotation soon! Keep up the great work, friends! :)

We came in with a huge group that took up most of the restaurant and were able to all be seated at once. An entire baseball team, parents, and families.Service was great and we were all able to make it back in time for our next game (Slumpbuster baseball tournament).Food was well loved all around. My kiddos had wings and flatbread pizza. I too had the gluten free margarita flatbread pizza which was more tasty than most GF stuff I eat.We would definitely eat here again if we were in the area. Great staff and friendly attentive service.My only ding was the bartender tried to pull off pouring my margarita with salt on the rim over the salt into a non-salted glass. It's my pet peeve as I hate the taste of salt in any drink and for the price, if ordered without salt, should just remake the drink and he seemed shocked I asked him to do so.

Crab Rangoon fries. Those alone are worth the visit. The gluten free flatbread was a high quality choice and everyone enjoyed them. The service was top notch from both our server and the manager. Thank you for a great midday lunch.

Everything was good. Atmosphere, service and food. I had almond chicken salad and hubby had a Cubano.

Stopped over here for lunch with a bigger group. There are quite a few tables for bigger groups which is awesome. If you're worried call ahead. Large parking lot with tons of space. The server we had was awesome! Very good at his job and juggled a lot of tables. We got the fried pickles for the table. These are little slivers of chips with tons of breading. You can't really taste the pickle and you miss that crunch and vinegar hit I would expect. Lots of oil. I would recommend these to folks that aren't big pickle fans. The ranch here is delicious!I got the veggie burger with fries. Fries were delicious and salty and perfect with their ranch. The veggie patty itself was performed and seamed store bought. Lots of meaty notes and I would consider this 'plant based' instead of a veggie and it didn't seem to have a lot of veggies in it. Bun and all the fixings were great!! My friends at the table raved about the lobster mac, lettuce wraps, and crispy chicken sandwich.

We stopped into 712 Eat + Drink after a movie in Council Bluffs on a rainy day. It is in a sort of "strip mall" area, but doesn't feel like a strip mall restaurant at all. There is a nice patio outside and an inviting feel to the atmosphere when you walk in. The design of the restaurant is a little boxy, with it being one large open room with industrial, open high ceilings. The walls are dark and there is a large group table when you enter, and some smaller tables around the rest of the interior. There is a cute Council Bluffs mural all along one side of the restaurant though and that brightened up the vibe a lot. There is a bar at the far end of the restaurant, and that has a really cool, large "712" wooden sign above it which I really liked.We were there a little under one hour before they closed (we knew we wouldn't be there longer than 30 minutes, as we were hungry and can eat fast). Even with being latecomers, the hostess who seated us and our server were not in a hurry or trying to rush us at all.Our server was Devon, and he was super pleasant, helping my husband choose between a few options he was considering. Also, our table was a little wobbly when we sat down, and he made sure to grab a few coasters to fix it for us. For a starter, we ordered the Elote Fries. They were very tasty, consisting of semi-crispy fries with roasted corn, house-made tajin aioli, cotija cheese, and jalapeños. It's a HUGE serving too, so this can be shared with 2-3 people, for sure.My husband ordered the steak and potato flatbread, which came with steak, bits of roasted potatoes, a melted garlicky cheese spread on top, and a few sprigs of arugula. My husband is not a huge fan of garlic, but I absolutely am, so I definitely took a few of his flatbread slices.I had the Korean Stir Fry with Chicken, which had sweet potato glass (clear) noodles, lots of veggies, diced chicken, and cashews and sesame seeds. It was a delightful, sweet dish with some savory elements to balance everything out. It also was a huge portion so my husband had a bit of mine to trade for the flatbread I took of his :-PWe finished up with plenty of time to spare before closing, and as we were paying our check, Devon even gave us a to-go cup of my soda refill for the road. Great service!

I would have loved to give 5 stars, had the person that took my reservation let me know that tables over a certain number of people have to be on one ticket. Food came out at different times. People sitting at the same table didn't get their food all together. Food and drinks were good.

Hmmm. I am generally a huge fan of this restaurant which would score between four and five stars. Today's experience was a little different.We made a reservation and arrived on time. Seems that they could not find a reservation and once they finally found it, we were seated at a high top table that was dirty and unsteady.A person came to our table that we were not sure if they were our server as they never introduced themselves. We clarified who was our server, made our drink selection, and went from there. We each ordered a starter and an entrée. Our starter arrived. However, we did not have any cutlery. We finally ended up having to go into the restaurant from our outdoor seating area to get our own cutlery off a table after requesting our server twice. The restaurant was generally busy, but many of the staff seem to be standing around, chatting with unbussed and or dirty tables. This is normally a restaurant with a clean, modern vibe but not today.Having only just begun with our starter, we were informed our entrée it would be out immediately. We informed our server that we did not want our entrée as we were just beginning our starter. It followed immediately, regardless. The special crab soup was excellent, the beet salad was good as ever, the stirfry was over spiced, and the beef rib was spot on.Once we were just about finished with our entrées our plates were quickly removed, and we were asked if we wanted dessert. Would like to point out at this time that the outside was empty with the exception of two tables, and there were plenty of empty tables inside and not entirely sure why we were being rushed.Our server recited the dessert menu, and we went ahead and ordered our deserts to go. Our server, then returned to inform us that they were out of what we had selected. At that point we gave up. I would normally rank this is an excellent restaurant, however, there has to be more attention to service. Minimally, coach your staff, wash your tables and provide cutlery to your customers. Hope it is better next time as I would give it one more chance.
