You have to order at the counter and the girl was very friendly. We both had chicken tenders, which were actually nugget in size. I got french fries with my order and my husband opted for fried okra. Food was ok but both of us had upset stomachs later in the evening. It was also pretty dirty in the resturant. So many other options in Hot Springs, I suggest you pick one of those places instead of here.

The restaurant is located on lake Hamilton, with nice views and a wonderful breeze. We were seated at a corner table after a 10 minute wait. We enjoyed the views of the water and the Canada geese while we waited. Our server was friendly and answered all our questions. I had grilled Red Fish which was delicious, my wife had the Catfish & Shrimp, which was delicious as well. Our Springer enjoyed the hush puppies which came as a side. Definitely an enjoyable experience!

Other than a nice bartender and water view, this restaurant is pretty poor…read more I had gone into town for buusness and was here last fall. Food was not great but in this part of town, not a lot open on Sunday's. The restaurant is dirty, outdated and when my crab stuffed shrimp came the shrimp was small, inconsistently cooked, the crab stuffing had an ammonia taste and the sides of mango coleslaw and broccoli slaw were overly sugar. I did not send my food back because I overheard servers discussing that happening at another table and the consequences. I strongly suggest you steer clear. And the poor response from the owner with no option for revisit and follow up Is par for the course. Again...watch your chef staff and wait staff!

Wowsers!! I cannot write enough good aspects of the Vault as our experience was absolutely…read moreincredible! We were in town to visit the Hot Springs National Park and wanted to experience fine dining on our last night. No need to look further than the Vault! Intimate lighting and a dark-wooded interior lent itself to a wonderfully romantic evening. Service was absolutely amazing (we had Emily) and she described all of the different menu and drink option questions we had. In the end, we went for two filets, the crispy potatoes, and brussel sprouts. Brace yourself: the steaks were some of the best I've ever experienced. NO JOKE. I've traveled the world and would consider myself a connoisseur of fine steaks. Without a doubt, the filets we had at the Vault stand up to anything I've ever had in NYC, Paris, or Dallas. Cooked to perfection, we could actually cut them with our forks. Needless to say, nothing was left of our plate... Beware: the side dishes are huge, so one is enough for two people. We will be back!

We happened to stumble upon this gem randomly during our trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas not expecting much but wow were we absolutely blown away. First, you walk into a dimly lit, intimate dining area and seated at a table with very comfy chairs and menus that light up for visibility. Next, your waiter is SO knowledgeable about every item on the menu. I had history lessons about the rice production in the area while learning about which dishes to choose. While waiting for your food, you are served an edgy orange-glazed dinner roll that is simultaneously intriguing and comfortingly familiar. A delicious twist on a classic. The head chef also came around serving an amuse-bouche of another experimental apple dish which was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. Food comes- oh my goodness I cannot explain how amazing the Chislic beef tips were. Every component of this dish was just so thoughtfully crafted and well-blended. Each bite was bursting with flavor and energy. My partner also loved the potato soup. Our mains were equally impressive- my fennel rice in particular knocked my socks off. I have never tasted rice so decadent and aromatic in my life. The salmon was of course great but certainly not the star of the show. Finally, the bread pudding at the end was the cherry on top of the culinary bliss we had just experienced. I would drive 10 hours back to Hot Springs just for this restaurant. So sad it has to be so far. Do not miss your opportunity to come here if you happen to be in town!!

Second Review... We…read morecame here before November 2024 and when we decided to come back to Hotsprings this summer 501 was on the top of our MUST HAVE list of places to eat.

Both were excellent. The Gator Bites came with a sauce that was amazing! Our server brought us a couple cups to take home. Husband and I had the Thin Catfish (that wasn't what it was called but it was thin!) with fries (crispy fries) hush puppies and I had baked sweet potato and he had salad. The hushpuppies were really good. (That's how we judge a catfish house. LOL). The couple with us had the thin catfish platter with fries and gumbo and she had the Bourbon glazed Salmon with salad and baked sweet potatoe. Honestly, we had no complaints. Server kept our glasses full. (Honestly I can't remember about the ambiance cause it was 3 days ago. And as long as a place is clean I'm happy). Make a point to stop in. Check their days/hours of operation first. You will not be disappointed! We were so full we didn't even look at the desserts. sorry!

If you're looking for a date night spot, place to eat after a long day on the lake or sightseeing, traveling through, or just have a hankering (a great southern word) for some good fish & seafood...this is your spot for amazing shrimp, crispy catfish and other southern Louisiana or gulf coast classics. So if you're in Hot Springs National Park Arkansas, you GOTTA put this on your list.

As for the salad that comes with your steak dinner... I don't like sweet dressing so I didn't get the raspberry vinaigrette which was indeed house made. I am certain that's the favorite here. The service was fantastic. As a solo traveler I enjoy sitting at the bar. I needed that protein after the bath house drained me! Enjoyed my dinner here!

You can wear shorts and T-shirt or jeans or dress up. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Great wine selection! Great music playing overhead! The food was amazing. Between the 4 of us the there was a t-bone, New York strip , filet mignon, and chicken cordon bleu. All of us were happy with our entrees. They were all cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back.

The service was slow, even though there were barely any customers. Having worked in a restaurant for 9 years that sat 300 customers, I found it crazy that the service was so slow. The ambiance didn't feel like a seafood place.
