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.

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.

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.

We had some nice nicely executed cocktails (I love a good dirty martini) and some scrumptious crabcakes to start! Burgers were the entrée of the evening and they were cooked to perfection. The band was outstanding the night we were there - there had to be 16 to 18 people, playing together with perfect, experienced execution of every song. The singers they brought on really stole the show - the blonde gal in the black satin evening gown (who was absolutely incredible) and one of the gentlemen (who was also playing an instrument) did a really great job of playing off of each other (but she was an absolute 15 on a 10 scale - from the outfit, to the spectacular voice, to the whole vibe of being the lead singer with a big jazz band - we agreed we would definitely love to see HER again). Highly recommended you go and experience this lovely jazz club! We had a five star experience!

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.
