Welcome to the WEBSTER Iowa City

Book your The Webster reservation on Resy

Welcome to the Webster, a cosmopolitan restaurant with a Midwest heart, serving contemporary American fare in a relaxed but refined environment.

Our menu features seasonally driven cuisine based on Chef Sam Gelman’s unique culinary style relying heavily on Midwestern ingredients.

To pair with Sam’s cuisine, we highlight wines from smaller producers using traditional wine making practices, artisanal beers, hand crafted cocktails, and thoughtful non-alcoholic options.

Join Us to Celebrate

The Webster will be offering a four course tasting menu to celebrate the new year. Join us for an amazing night of delicious food, tasty libations and great company!

Reservations are available online or via telephone between the hours of 12pm and 5pm Tuesday through Saturday.
