Hy-vee Market Grille Express

Please do yourself a favor and remove this place from your breakfast options! Unless you enjoy cold food that takes 25 minutes to arrive (and is served incorrectly and shoddily), are okay with never having your coffee refilled, and prefer being completely ignored by your server, then this might be the spot for you. The menu changes in an attempt to become a full-service restaurant are not working; they should stick to what they know best at the Hy-Vee deli. Instead, focus on quality and leave full-service dining to those who know how to manage it properly. To top it all off, when it came time to settle the bill, the server couldn’t wait to scoop the money off our table into her apron without even a simple “thank you” or asking how our meal was. What a disappointing experience!

This restaurant has a fantastic ambiance; it feels like a high-end dining experience. It's a wonderful spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I truly believe that the renovations were a great decision. I’ll try to share some pictures later!

The food was excellent, with plenty of choices available. The staff could have been a bit friendlier, but overall I can't really complain.

It was cold, and the portion sizes were very small—only four pieces of General Tso's chicken and four pieces of sesame chicken, along with a large scoop of rice for $10.99. Overall, it wasn't a good deal.

The restaurant has a nice, clean atmosphere. Prices are a bit higher than other places in the city, but the selection is excellent.
