Provisions Lot F

We joined the wait list when we were leaving Des Moines. Our table was ready before we got to Ames, but we were seated as soon as we walked in. We love the atmosphere. Trendy & Upscale. Our food had so much flavor! I would have given 5 stars for the food but my meal was not hot, barely warm by time it got to our table. I can only imagine how delicious it would have been hot. Large portions. The service was a little slow. Tables who sat after us had drinks and food before we did. Overall, the food was delicious and we will be back to try again.

really nice atmosphere on what seems like a newer restaurant. the food was good but not great, although the salmon salad got high marks. the desserts were good but you’ll want to go splits on most everything, especially the cakes, as they are super rich. the chocolate ones are very chocolate!

I’ve been to Provision Lot F twice now—once for lunch and once for dinner—and both experiences were fantastic. For lunch, I had the house salad with their cashew dressing, and it was absolutely spot-on—fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying. For dinner, I tried the chicken thighs, and they were perfectly cooked—tasty, filling, and great value for the quality. The atmosphere and ambience were excellent both times, and the service was spot-on. There’s also a café section filled with delicious-looking cakes and pastries that are clearly well kept and worth a try. Overall, this is one of the best spots to eat in Ames—highly recommended for both lunch and dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back more often!
