The food tasted fresh (but nothing spectacular) in a clean and well-maintained setting. The service was slow.

This is the first time I've submited a review on the net but I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about. My wife and I have been going to DuBay's off and on since they opened in May and have been back in the last week. If anything there is a vast improvement on the experience. The new art is exciting, modern, Beautiful and challenging. The old art was boring, dull and lifeless. If anything it refreshing to see something fresh and inspiring in too often conservative burb of Des Moines. The music is a great blend of Jazz, Traditional, country, folk, rock and even a few old time 50s classics from my childhood. We ate there at least 10 times and the food has always been hot, except those dish that should be served cold!If anything the place reminds me of some of the fining dining restaurants from the north side of Chicago or the strip area of Hollywood. I keep hearing people compare local restaurants to those of Chicago and New York, I have to say that DuBay's is the closest I've found here thus far. The "identity crisis" you speak of is what this city needs. Time to open your mind to an new experience that you are going to only find at DuBay's and forget about what you think it should be.
I have to ask that if you were not looking for a new experience, why did you go to DuBay's? Was Barkers Square closed?

What happened? When this place opened a few months ago it held such promise. Based on a most recent visit I'd say Dubay's is suffering from an identity crisis. The menu was largely the same, but the artwork, ambience, music and service was confusing, disturbing, and sorely lacking. My food was cold and took forever too.

This a great new locally owned Des Moines restaurant. Dubay's has found the combination of comfortable atmosphere and fine food and drinks, along with late night hours that just may take Des Moines to the next level of urban living! The food is amazing! I especially enjoyed the crab cakes, gumbo ya ya, and Filet Dubay on my visits. The pastas are wonderful too! Try anything with the buccatini pasta (cool tubular pasta that really picks ups the lovely sauces)! Watch out for the hurricanes though- tasty adult fruit punch that really packs a punch!

It's certainly better than the overpriced slop they serve at Palmer's Deli. Jason's Deli is better in my opinion. It isn't much of a "Deli" really, it's a sandwich shop. The Mama Mia is their best sandwich by far. The st
