Price is no object? Baru 66...very cutting edge and fantastic!
801 has a boring menu. Great steaks, but very staid.
Latin King is a great Italian steakhouse...slightly less expensive & a wonderful menu. Great supper-club atmosphere, and hard to get a seat on the weekends. If you have a special occasion, I would call and talk to the owner (he is ALWAYS there)...he will accommodate. Have the amaretto-spiked coffee and tiramisu for dessert!
Greenbriar in Johnston is very good. Steaks, seafood, pasta. Moderately higher priced.

Sam and Gables. Steak Deburgo melts in your mouth and the pasta is great.
I've heard great things about The Radish in Grimes but I have not been there yet.
I already checked 801 but I think they are full for valentines day. Is there another restaurant you'd recommend that has good food and good atmosphere for a young couple in Des Moines?If you want a great steakhouse, 801 is the place!!! Everything else is either a distant 2nd or an Italian/American restaurant that also has a steak or two. In that category we like Christopher's, Latin King, but you may see your grandparents there
For something a little more cutting edge, Alba in the East Village could be worth a look.
:-/Looks like according this thread 801 is the place. Thanks y'all.
