Overall really good food, getting the check seems to always be a problem and this place didn’t fall short of that. Had to go ask and the waiter got a little snippy but it is what it is. The foods good so would recommend.

The restaurant is in an old bank which still has the old vault in it. If you plan to go for dinner, it would be a good idea to make a reservation. It was very busy when we arrived at 6:30 pm we didn't have to wait. The wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Jim ordered The Beast. It is a 1/4 bison, wagyu beef, wild boar, and elk with a side order of French fries. I ordered the Cajun Pasta. It was very tasty with just enough heat to enjoy. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. The only drawback is the parking. The best thing to do is to figure out parking beforehand.

Our dinner here was amazingly tasty. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We had the crab stuffed mushrooms as an app and they were so good. I had the steak smothered French onion style and that was so tasty. The mashed potatos were garlicky and yummy. My husband had the Parmesan crusted salmon and it was everything and more. Great service and some easy listening live music made the experience even better for a Wednesday night date night!

One of the best restaurants in town. This is my go to restaurant and I’ve never been disappointed! My favorite dishes are the braised beef tortellini, prime rib French dip, and the French onion steak. Best drink is the Lavender bees knees. The atmosphere is fun and the service is always top notch!

Tryed out the Vault tonight nice restaurant in downtown Dubuque district. The staff was great and the food was good. A must try if your in the area. We got the crabstuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. The lemon chicken and lobster both cooked very well. Definitely would come back if I am in the area!

We ordered three items on the menu and 2 out of 3 were great. The chicken wings app and the Patty Melt were delicious. Unfortunately, the Chipotle Blackened Chicken wrap was 90% lettuce and lacking in flavor. The rest of the ingredients for the wrap were used very sparingly, or not at all (no tortilla chips). We did not see or taste any of the blackened seanoning on the small pieces of chicken either. Needless to say, I would not order that item again. It was not worth the $14 we paid. The service was great.

We had a very nice lunch here. The ambience is very cool in an old bank. The wait staff is professional and prompt. We enjoyed our sandwiches at lunch time. I had the Cuban and it was delicious, however, it wasn’t put through a panini press…so it is a Cuban at that point? Either way it was good. We also had their desserts which were phenomenal.
