RoCA (Restaurant on Court Avenue) is located in the Historic Court Avenue District in downtown Des Moines. It is a charming establishment with exposed brick walls and an eye-catching sculpture made of bottles. You can eat in their lounge, at the bar, or in the main dining room; each has its own distinct atmosphere.

The menu is extensive and features Executive Chef Aaron Holt’s interesting modern take on many great favorites. You will find delectable American cuisine with subtle French and Italian touches. Try Ribeye skewers marinated in hoisin sauce or pork chops stuffed with provolone, prosciutto, and served with green beans, shallots, apple caponata, and whipped potatoes. Roca has a respectable wine list and a selection of craft beers to go with your food.
