Their menu changes frequently based on farm-to-table ingredients, ensuring a unique dining experience each time. We enjoyed appetizers such as duck confit gnocchi, fried sunchokes, and beef tartare. For our main courses, I had monkfish remoulade with Swiss chard, mussels, and seaweed salad, while my husband had flat iron steak with mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and grilled onions, both of which were excellent. My father-in-law ordered winter squash ravioli, which was beautifully presented but came in small portions. To feel satisfied, we recommend ordering appetizers and dessert. For dessert, we tried rosemary cake with hazelnut frosting and smoked molasses gelato, chocolate tres leches with coconut panna cotta, and cinnamon vanilla rice pudding with fresh blueberries and blueberry egg yolks, reminiscent of dishes by Jose Andres. They also offer a happy hour until 6:30, featuring discounted beers, wine, and well drinks. Overall, a great dining experience and I would definitely return when in town again.

The interior is super cute with exposed brick, plants, great lighting, and charming antique dishware. The farm-to-table concept is usually great, but the food was a mixed bag. The ricotta gnudi I ordered was too salty, and the charcuterie board was lacking. However, the Parisian gnocchi was delicious! The service started off strong but towards the end, we felt a bit ignored. The cocktails were amazing! Overall, I would recommend coming in for drinks and appetizers to enjoy the lovely setting.

Surrounded by mushrooms and olives with seeded encrusted sweet potatoes. Perfection on a plate. My only regret was that I was dining alone so I didn't get to try anything else. The chef's counter was a perfect place to sit as I had a bird's eye view of the kitchen. Kitchen staff, as well as wait staff, took great care of me throughout the evening. Even the hostess came over to check in on me. The beverage menu is great as well with a good selection of cocktails and wines all at a solid price point. I will definitely return to Cobble Hill on my next trip to Cedar Rapids.

They are incredibly friendly and accommodating, which truly reflects the quality of the establishment. I would return just for their excellent service. The interior ambiance is also wonderful; it feels upscale and modern. As for the food, it was quite good—maybe even great—but I wouldn't say it was exceptional. We tried the beef tartare, charcuterie board, and Parisian gnocchi, and while I enjoyed all of it, I found it a bit on the bland side. However, the cocktails were outstanding! Update: Three months later, I visited again, and the food was fantastic! I've updated my review to five stars, and I will definitely be returning.

However, the wine list features some unusual choices and includes only one Napa Valley option. Clearly, they must be doing something right to have been around for so long, but I don't think it's worth the drive to CR, in my opinion. There are multiple options in IC that I would choose instead.
