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!"

The concept was cool because you're solving a murder mystery while enjoying a meal with friends and there was a part where some of us got to act within the story. Food was good, some of us only eat halal and we informed them ahead of time so they were able to accommodate. They give tours at the end too so you can see the vault and the tunnels. Such a cool concept, highly recommend checking it out. There's also a valet, cash only is cheaper, so you don't need to worry about parking.

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!

Name tag first before tickets then back in line for another 20 minutes then dinner was served an hour and half later. Actors were terrible and the storylines were discombobulated.

The music itself was also really good and felt like the main focus of the whole experience. If you are solo, there are not always the best views of the stage depending on where you sit, but it still felt worth it because the performance is strong enough that you stay engaged no matter where you are seated. They ask that conversation volume be kept to a minimum for the performers. The food was decent and a little pricey, but for the overall experience it felt worth spending a bit more. Between the atmosphere, service, and music, it added to the night rather than taking away from it. Overall the combination of great customer service, good energy, and the location near the riverfront made it a really enjoyable experience!

Service has always been poor and this just seals years of sub-par experience. Drove all the way over for literally nothing. They sent a reminder yesterday March 3rd that my pass (that I didn't even realize I had since it didn't mention birthday once in the email) was going to expire soon. I clicked the link and got the pass expiring March 4th (today). I went for an evening show and they turned me away saying it was expired. So be it. Way to turn an easy layup into a total loss. We go as a family and there are 8 of us. This was for a single birthday pass. So they've lost 8 customers just by not having their stuff together. They used to give 8 birthday passes, then 4, then 2, now 1, and it expires the day before it says it does. Get it together HB. We're on the way to Hollywood Palms right now to see a movie as a family.
