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!

The menu lights up as you open it and everything on it sounded delicious. The servers, Peter and Emily, were so fun and helpful! They brought out these heavenly yeast rolls basted in truffle butter...what??? I got the market fish special which was grouper, and my husband got the grilled pork chop. Come with an empty stomach if you get the pork chop. It is a very generous portion and is delicious! The grouper was perfection...crispy on the outside, light and flakey inside, sitting atop beautiful spring vegetables and a lovely light beurre blanc sauce. It was topped with edible flowers and micro greens. I regret that I did not take a photo (we were so hungry), but it was just divine. The chef came over to ask what we thought and we told him everything was amazing. The staff were absolutely lovely. We can't say enough good things. This is what a restaurant experience on vacation should be like. What a gem! Hopefully next time we visit we can try the dessert menu! We won't even get into how they make bread pudding out of those delicious rolls...

Cafe 1217 - A Fresh Break from the Road Trip Diet…read more What a relief to stumble into Cafe 1217 after days of heading southwest on a steady rotation of BBQ, grits, and beans. Delicious, yes... but the body eventually starts asking for a vegetable and a reset. The space itself matches that feeling. Simply decorated, with bright murals, clean lines, and a cheerful, easygoing vibe that feels light the moment you walk in. My husband gave me full ordering authority, which is always a bold move. I went straight into tapas mode because everything on the menu looked too good to choose just one. We ended up with a spread: chicken pot pie (which quickly abandoned any "small plate" intentions), field greens and baby spinach, a shrimp and crawfish cake, and one of each of Rosy's authentic hand-rolled tamales. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that heavy, road-trip food fatigue. The mint lemonade was refreshing and delicious, a little on the sweet side, but it worked. Service, while perfectly fine, could benefit from a warmer welcome and a bit more guidance, especially for first-timers trying to navigate such an inviting menu. A little extra friendliness up front would go a long way here. Our only real regret? Not saving room for dessert. They looked very tempting, and we'll be thinking about that missed opportunity. If you're on the road and craving something lighter without sacrificing flavor, this spot is a welcome pause.

They were a little more cooked than we would have wanted, but the burgers were still pretty juicy and had plenty of flavor. The fried pickles are chips and come with a house-made ranch. A good start to lunch. If you've never been, this place is definitely worth trying out. How many times can you eat at a place that has had everyone from U.S Presidents to Hall of Fame baseball players to notorious gangsters come through the front door. Our server, Callie, was very attentive despite being very busy.

I made fun of it when I read the sign as my father would eat Vienna sausages but this is not that, so good! The pizza is actually really good and it's Chicago traditional not Chicago pie which is thick through out. Had the long count and it was delicious. I added a side meatball to try which was ok, i found it too crumbly and dry but sauce was ok. Only thing didn't care for was the cheesesteak. I guess I had a mind fart and was thinking Philly cheesesteak which I wanted. This is an overstuffed pot roast style sandwich which is not the style I like. Lots of cheese and didn't notice the peppers or mushrooms. The au jus added didn't help the sandwich. The fries were ok the onion rings didn't have flavor. Not a fan of big fried rings. Still that dog though haha! Service was friendly and it's a busy place.

My mom insisted we make the drive to Rocky's Corner Pizza the Sunday night before Memorial Day…read morewhile I'm visiting from back East -- and now I completely understand why people rave about this place. First off, the pizza was absolutely incredible. They call it Chicago-style, but honestly... I lived in Chicago for 14 years, and I can't think of many places there that beat this pizza. We ordered the KO Pizza and it was outrageously good. Perfect crust, loaded with flavor, and the kind of pizza that makes you stop talking for a minute because everyone at the table is too busy eating. The place was packed wall-to-wall, so service took a little while, but it was worth every second of the wait. Honestly, when a restaurant is this busy on a Sunday night before Memorial Day, that usually tells you everything you need to know. Also worth mentioning: I ordered a "small" side salad... which arrived in what appeared to be a family-sized serving bowl. My mom and I ended up splitting it because apparently Rocky's definition of "small" is "feed a softball team." Prices were shockingly reasonable, especially for the quality and portions. This place is a true Hot Springs institution right across from Oaklawn, and if you've never been, you absolutely need to go. It completely lives up to the nostalgia and hype. And a special shoutout to Jamie the bartender -- infectious smile, bobbing her head to the music while pouring drinks, and bringing such a fun, welcoming energy to the whole place. People like that are part of what makes restaurants memorable. Can't wait to come back.

It was lively on a Monday evening because a work event was being hosted. I ordered a Caesar salad and the chicken entree, which took a bit of time to come out due to the large group.

I would have preferred the salad first with the entree held in the back, but I was hungry so I didn't say anything and enjoyed the salad right away. The Caesar salad was simple and the Southern Chicken really hit the spot. It was comfort food at its finest and I found myself wishing I had a bit more. I highly recommend this entree.
