We sat at a two top table by the bar. The bar and staff were a bit loud by that area. Our drinks and food came super fast. The BLT was made with candied bacon and was super delicious. Drinks were very good as well after we selected from the drink menu.

I had a salad. It was the most uneventful salad I ever ordered! The bag mixes from a grocery store…read morehave way more going than the one served at Lincoln Flats. My husband had a pork chop. He said it was fine. The Diet Coke came out looking flat. The pop machine must not be working properly. The straws are paper. Yuk. The restaurant had a funky stale plumbing smell. It was very nauseating. Service was good.

We like the music and salads. Drinks are good. Entrees are limited if one does not eat cow and pig…read more Salmon is cheap farm-raised Faroe Island import, which is ethically a no go since those people butcher porpoises and pilot whales by the thousands every year in a blood lust festival. The wholesale delivery service does have wild-caught salmon for a minimal increase in cost. Like most of the wait staff in Valparaiso, attention (eye contact) is cursory and superficial, which shows that the customers are to be sold but not really appreciated as their sole income source. Eg: Dirty fork with dirty dishes between courses: "Do you want to keep that fork?" We realize that it is Indiana, but take a ride over to Gambas for some service training. It really is not about the wait staff.

I really wanted to love this place! The food was great, but the service was absolutely terrible…read more Our server never came back to refill our water, check on our food, or even bring the check. We had fries with no ketchup, ribs with no BBQ sauce or napkins, and empty cups with no refills. The server walked past our table multiple times and completely avoided eye contact. He didn't know the drink menu and went out of his way to ignore us, to the point where we honestly couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous it was. He definitely needs more training. Super disappointing because I would have loved another martini, but our server never returned. Shoutout to the host, without her, we wouldn't have had any water at all.

My husband and I had the perfect date night at Stacks! We've dined here many times but this time we…read moredecided to dine on the Rooftop and it was absolutely perfect. The weather couldn't have been better, making it such a beautiful evening to sit back, relax and enjoy a great meal together. We started with the Steak & Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms and WOW.....they were fantastic! Such a delicious way to start the evening. My husband ordered the 24 oz. Tomahawk Ribeye with a Brandy Mushroom Sauce, served over mashed potatoes and asparagus. He thoroughly enjoyed every bite because when he was finished, there was absolutely nothing left on the plate.....which says it all! I ordered the Scalibut, featuring Blackened Halibut and Seared Scallops served over Lobster mashed potatoes and asparagus, topped with a Lemon Parmesan sauce and Tomato basil Cruda. It did NOT disappoint! Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and the combination of the halibut, scallops, lobster mashed potatoes and sauce was absolutely delicious. Between the food, the atmosphere and getting to enjoy a beautiful evening on the rooftop with my husband, this was such a wonderful date night. We've always enjoyed Stacks but this visit was definitely one to remember. We'll absolutely be back!

Modern cute restaurant. We came without a reservation on a Friday night. There was a 25 min wait…read more Friendly hostess greeted us. The entryway is tight, and a little small. We got bread with butter & oil. The bread was a little stale. No flavor. I ordered the Ceasar salad with shrimp. The lettuce was nicely chopped. The dressing was served on the side. Good thing because the dressing was thick, salty, and didn't taste housemade. I prefer a tossed salad. The shrimp were ok. Small & a little overcooked. It had Parmesan cheese & crutons. My friend got a chicken sandwich that was so big. Cottage French fries looked good. The server was nice & our water was refilled all the time. Very appreciated.

The open airy seating space, beautifully decorated for the holiday, was inviting and quiet. Perfect for conversation. The staff were very friendly and attentive. (Shoutout to Sherry!) The lunch menu features several sandwich options as well as salads. We chose the fish sandwich which was tender and moist served on a toasted brioche bun. The beer batter coating was light and flaky, melt in your mouth delicious. We will definitely be back!

Would not recommend for dinner. There was 1 bartender who was doing the best she could, but had to…read morerun the busy bar and take care of all the tables. Ordered the crab cake appetizer. It was basically stuffing without any crab and burnt on both sides. Horrible. I also ordered the Mac and cheese, that was also not good. Came in a little cast-iron pan and took longer because they bake it. The ambiance is nice, but that is all I can give it.

The service phenomenal, food phenomenal, atmosphere low volume and the dining room is very small. We had Ty as our server and she was spectacular! Sure, I could go to Chicago for this type of restaurant but who wants to battle and pay for parking and also pay city taxes!? Rather just go in Valpo where I can get a FREE parking spot right in front of the restaurant!

It wasn't that busy on a Friday afternoon. I got the BLT and fries, it was good but I had to take out the piece of toast in the middle, they could probably do away with that. My husband's chicken bacon avocado sandwich was enough for two. You could probably split it if you ordered an extra side. My mother in law ordered the same sandwich and they both agreed that it could use some sauce or maybe even some of their aioli, you could probably order some on the side. My father in law got the pulled pork. He is a picky eater and he said it was good. He didn't like the cole slaw, it wasn't tart enough for him. I don't like cole slaw anyways so I couldn't give you my opinion. The server was attentive and professional. We enjoyed our meal.
