Harbinger offers a mix of American and South Asian fusion cuisine with uniquely delicious dishes in an elegant environment. While the menu may lack vegan options, the three dishes that can be modified were well-received by a patron. The chef's tasting menu and wine pairing received rave reviews, with a wide variety of flavors and just the right amount of food. The restaurant's cocktails were also highly complimented. The attention to detail in each dish was impeccable, with creative and visually stunning presentations. Despite being on the pricey side, Harbinger is worth it for a special occasion, offering one of the best culinary experiences in Des Moines.

Very contemporary menu. The food was good and was well presented. Step outside your food comfort zone and give it a try.
