Let's talk about how awesome this was! If you are looking for fun, laughs, and a casual dinner…read morewith great entertainment, make your reservation at Vito's. Worth every penny. Let's get the logistics out of the way. Plenty of parking. Entrance is in the back (more on that). Dress is casual, but dressing up like 1920's gangsters would add to the fun. This place is great for groups or large families. Plan on spending about 3 hours for dinner and the show. Recommendation: Get there a little before 6:00 and line up at the back door (that is where the entrance is). At 6:00, use the big, brass knocker and knock on the door. Then, when Gloves comes to the door, whisper "I am here to make a deposit." "Gloves" is super fun, so play this up. No other spoilers so you can enjoy the show. Food. We had the steak, and it was delish! Perfectly done at medium rare and full of flavor. Loved the mixed vegetables and baked potato, too. The rolls and salad were average. Cocktails. Great selection of fun, themed cocktails. Look for "Al's Favorite" on the chalk board at the bar and on the top of the cocktail menu. All four drinks we had were great. Mugsy makes some good giggle juice. Service. EXCELLENT. The team is talented, and they work hard to serve you while putting on the show. They stayed in character the whole time, and the jokes were FANtastic! Finally. RELAX and ENJOY the show. I have not smiled and laughed that much since the Nate Betgatze show at Bridgestone at Christmas. Vito and his team are simply FABULOUS and FUN! This gets a MUST DO if in the Chicago area. Definitely a Siskel and Ebert "Two Thumbs Up." Now, make your reservation and get "the rest of the story" at Vito's Vault.

For da benefit of dose who never hoid of it, Vito's Vault is a dinner/theatre experience not unlike…read moreTony & Tina's Wedding. It's very immersive, like traveling back in time to a mob-run speakeasy in da year 1929. Except for da 2025 prices and (thankfully) modern n' clean restrooms. Ya sneak inta da speakeasy troo da back door, where ya gotta give da secret password to "Gloves," dat scary-lookin' mob enforcer wit da tommygun. Duh service staff, clad in period costumes, double as singers/actors. Dey interact wit da audience and remain in character even when ya chat wit dem! A live pianist plays popular Roarin' '20s hits on a gran piana. Vito hisself is a wunnerful host. We saw him assisting a customer in a wheelchair. A hoodlum he's not! Evidently da kitchen was short-staffed dat day, as some of our group had a long wait for entrees. But da food was delicious and duh comedy skits was hilarious. Later, Gloves was nowhere to be seen. I peeped into da kitchen and dere he was, wearin' yellow kitchen gloves and washin' dishes. I reckon dat's why dey call him "Gloves!"

This is surely one of Chicago's best-kept dining and entertainment secrets (it's in a rather…read moreobscure location). It's basically a cabaret - a combination of fine dining and interactive Cirque Du Soleil-style entertainment in an intimate setting. The elaborate décor will blow your mind. It's absolutely gorgeous. The quality of the food far surpassed typical dinner theatre fare. Each of the four courses was artfully plated, served at the proper temperature, and downright delicious. The goat cheese bell pepper scones app was more of an amuse bouche than a true course and no other bread was served (unless you order Parkerhouse rolls, an à la carte add-on that costs $16. Indeed!). After that, though, portions were ample. The bourbon peached glazed salmon entrée, plated with inventive side dishes, was perfection. Other à la carte dishes and entrée upgrades are available but no one in our party felt the need to order those. The service was impeccable. Variety acts were interspersed between courses - singers, dancers, a juggler, a comedian, an aerialist, and more. There was a lot of talent but it was comic actor Joe who stole the show, portraying several roles. Totally enjoyable and well worth the ticket price.

The performances were all extra ordinary including comedic acts for its slapstick artistry. I especially found the King Kong bit inspiring. As for the rest, the aerialist, juggler, gymnasts etc all were first class and surprising since early on they are part of the " schtick" latter they will reveal their talents. The live band makes a difference. We had the Rosemary Parmesan fries which were probably one of the best fries I've had. Next, dip that in the aioli sauce and it's a totally different experience The charcuterie board is really packed for $25 a good buy. It would feed two The staff is really great!!!

I already had a restaurant reserved, and one of the great things about this company is that you get to choose your own location--you're not stuck with a preset venue. They arrived early to get everything set up and were totally ready when it was time for the big surprise with our family and friends. After my wife nearly fainted (LOL), the party kicked off right away. All the characters are played by people you choose, which made for a ton of participation--and luckily, my friends and family are all a little nuts, so they totally went for it. The 1920s theme was super fun, and the folks I picked to be the "victims" really hammed it up. The company provided scripts for the key players and gave great direction to keep things moving. It never felt awkward or confusing--they were right there to guide things along, so no one felt lost. It was absolutely hilarious watching my friends and family try their hand at acting. I'll 100% be reaching out to this company again if the chance comes up. You should too!!

Such a cool experience!…read more This was our second time here, still just as great. We come with a bigger group from school, and the entry process is super seamless and down to a tee. The staff welcoming us in were all very friendly and helpful. When we were seated, we were quickly served the Dragon's Egg and Dragon's Blood (garlic bread and tomato soup), as well as a beverage of our choice. After that, they brought out the chicken, the corn, and the potatoes. Service is very smooth and well-done. I will admit the food does come fast, so if you're not a quick eater, your food will get a bit cold as you're finishing it. The event itself was super cool, and again, very well done. My favorite parts were when they brought out the bird, as well as the joust and sword fight. I'll be totally honest I was pretty locked in eating the food most of the time, so those were the 2 main parts I paid attention to. The eclair and coffee were the last courses brought out, they were a really great way to finish a royal feast. I personally believe we got the best server, super nice and friendly, and she always filled my cup up to the brim :) Thanks to Medieval Times for such a great experience! I highly recommend for anyone looking for a super fun and family-friendly activity with a meal and entertainment packed in one.

We also got 4 light up cups for our drinks. The dinner was pretty good. You do have to eat with your hands. My 4 year old daughter ate almost her whole half chicken, so I think the food was good! Our server was attentive. I liked that they had QR zelle codes where you could send the tip. It seems like all seats are equally nice. They keep the lights dim. But with our light up drinks & swords we were good. It was a lot of fun rooting for our knight! They take a picture of you upon walking in. Although it seems expensive to buy it, I felt like I needed it based on how our family looked. The whole experience is kind of ridiculously expensive, but it seemed worth it to see my kids light up.

The atmosphere definitely has a fun throwback feel, and I can appreciate the creativity behind it. Unfortunately, the actual experience was pretty disappointing. The "seating" being office chairs was especially underwhelming for a movie theater experience--they weren't comfortable and definitely didn't feel like the kind of seating you expect when you're paying to enjoy a movie. The service was another major letdown. The waiters weren't very attentive, didn't seem to listen to what we were asking for, and we had to work to get their attention. The drinks were also extremely weak and lacked much flavor, which was disappointing given the overall concept. I really wanted the vintage nostalgia to make this place stand out, but unfortunately the execution didn't live up to the experience I was hoping for. There's definitely potential here, but the comfort, service, and drinks need some improvement.

Overall, this was a fun experience. However, for the cost, the food was disappointing at best and…read morethe experience started off weird and confusing. In the end, we had a blast but there was a rough start. The bad: It's a truly cash cash bar - no cards accepted. There was an ATM down the hallway, though it had kind of wild fees ($7 if I'm remembering correctly) - thankfully, my bank refunds that kind of fee, but if yours doesn't, it's a steep fee to pay to get any drink that isn't water or coffee - even a can of soda (coke brands only). From what I heard from my table mates, cocktails were strong. The beginning of the experience was rough - there were passed appetizers brought to the tables, and each person was allowed to get one of each (a mini pillsbury biscuit, maybe the size of a quarter and a freezer section meatball on a toothpick). Quite frankly, I wouldn't have been AS disappointed with the food if they didn't try to sell this as the "first course" and they just skipped this entirely. The good: this was a unique experience and a lot of fun once the show actually started. Most of my "the bad" pertained to the first 30 minutes at most. From there, our table of strangers ended up having a blast together and enjoyed throwing out theories. We didn't quite solve the mystery, but figured out a good number of pieces to it which was fun!
