Review from Dave D.
Anamosa, IA
1/28/2012
This is the kind of storefront restaurant you'd hope to find in every small Iowa county seat town, but usually don't. It has a touch of elegance, but also a casual and intimate serving bar area upstairs. The menu has a little something for everybody, and while the service isn't too peppy it is quite adequate. Not real vegetarian-friendly, but there's enough. Don't miss the vintage pull-chain loos in the upstairs water closet and the electric bug gate that once graced the back door when the building was a butcher shop operated by his grandparents.

Review from Michael W.

Tyler and Downing's is an elegant restaurant smack-dab in the middle of Anamosa. Once a butcher shop and grocery store, the owners have kept the building's history and charm while converting it into a high-class affair. The exposed brick walls, stamped tin ceiling and long, narrow space remind me of The Pepper Sprout in downtown Dubuque. The menu focuses on traditional steak and seafood entrees. Service was slow at first, but picked up once the waitress came around. The highlight of my meal was a large slice of chocolate cake - a rich, moist piece of heaven.
There is also a small bar upstairs.
