An Evening Worth Savoring

Seasonal ingredients. Handmade pasta. Thoughtful hospitality.

As the sun sets, Savor the Rise transforms into Savor, an intimate dinner experience rooted in scratch cooking, Iowa's seasons, and gathering around the table.

Bring Your Favorite Bottle

While we thoughtfully develop our beverage program, guests are invited to bring their favorite bottle to enjoy alongside dinner.

We'll provide the glassware, the service, and everything else needed to make the evening memorable.

BYOB available with a corkage fee.

Meet the Kitchen

Crafted by People Who Care

Every menu begins with a conversation about the season.

Every dish begins with ingredients chosen for their quality.

Every service begins long before guests arrive.

Meet the people behind the experience.

Meet Chef Dale

With more than 16 years of experience and five years spent as a beverage director, Dale has built his career around curiosity, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for ingredients. His culinary influences span the globe, from Mexican and Korean to French, Italian, and Japanese cuisine, but his philosophy remains grounded close to home.

"If you're a chef and you're not thinking about your local farmers, you're not doing your job."

At Savor, Dale is creating an experience that celebrates Iowa's seasons through thoughtfully crafted, scratch-made dishes. Every menu is built around what is freshest and most flavorful, evolving throughout the year as local farms and producers shape what's possible.

His favorite ingredient? Garlic. His favorite bite? A perfectly balanced spicy tuna crispy rice. But what excites him most is proving that elevated dining doesn't require a trip to a major city.
