Why it's listed

Prime & Providence is a live-fire contemporary steakhouse and oyster bar in West Des Moines, built around a 15-foot open hearth and two coal-fired ovens. It runs one of the most serious Japanese Wagyu programs in the region: a dedicated Wagyu & Caviar reserve menu listing individual A5 striploins by origin (Kobe, Omi, Shimane, Kagoshima, Takamori, Bushu, Shinshu and Namiki) plus two tasting flights, the Samurai Flight and the Emperor's Reserve Flight, which pours Kobe alongside Omi and Takamori. It is the only restaurant serving genuine Kobe beef in Iowa. Open since 2024 and named to national best-steakhouse lists.
