    Cheese enchiladas beans and cilantro rice.

    This was our first visit here. What a delightful surprise. We were greeted quickly and seated by very friendly workers. The food was very good. If it is salsa you like they have a salsa bar has several different kinds of salsa. This was a very nice change from the local Mexican restaurants. We will be back.

Vibe is nailing it. So many drinks are just standard, so I hope that the creativity of this fun group catches fire and more restaurants and bars catch on that people want more from their drinks. You don't HAVE to have alcohol to make it fun and delicious. We have had a few conversations with the owners/mixologists and they are fantastic and fun. My first encounter was when they were catering drinks MJ's at an event and they were a hit!!

The Vibe Mocktails focuses on providing the most flavorful and delicious Mocktails! Crystal, the owner of The Vibe, is super passionate about what she does and you can tell in the way she makes her drinks. I think it will become a great staple in downtown provo and is the perfect spot to catch up with friends over a casual drink! I got to try a variety of the drinks and enjoyed every single one! The most popular drink they have is called "Peach On The Beach" and is a peach monster energy base with the most beautiful gradient of colors! I also really enjoyed the Lavender Lemonade - it had earthier tones but really was unique and delicious! Plus it sparkled

Please be sure to have your ID to get scanned or you will not be able to take a seat. It's the law. The pretzel was outstanding and is a must have! My friend loved her wedge salad! The salmon was great! The ceviche for me was ok (I live in Miami) and my friend thought it was fine (she lives in Utah). Smarty did great with the mocktails and made them all perfect each time. Fish for the fish and chips were ok. The fish was cooked too much and the batter needed seasoning. I swapped it out for grilled salmon and that was great! The brussel sprouts were delicious (on the sweeter side) and the experience overall was a 5/5. Definitely a place I would check out again for sure! Check them out and enjoy!

Since there wasn't a table inside big enough for all of us, we sat outside, but it actually ended up being really nice with the heaters going. The food was so good. Their menu is on the smaller side, but honestly you can't go wrong with anything. We tried the loaded tots, Wagyu burger, chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts, and every single thing was delicious. Definitely recommend checking this place out! Perfect spot for a night out with great food and great vibes.

I want to come work here! The food was really good, and really expensive! Our bill was $145 for the two of us. Our server Jaxson was really knowledgeable on the menu, and really friendly. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house as all the burlesque dancers move around the space. Be prepared with some ones to tip them, but they also take Venmo. I'd love to come back!

Our server was funny, personable, and attentive, especially when it came to drinks and refills. Things started going downhill when I received my entree, the Poor Man's Truffle. Unfortunately, the only way this dish lived up to its name was in how little the supposedly high-quality ingredients seemed to come through. The dish itself is fairly simple, which normally isn't a bad thing when the ingredients are meant to speak for themselves. With Belper Knolle, truffle oil, pistachio pesto, tomato, fennel, and arugula, I expected something flavorful and well balanced. Instead, the entire dish tasted incredibly mild. Belper Knolle is typically a bold, salty, peppery cheese, and I could visibly see the black pepper around the edges of the thin shavings, but the flavor barely registered. I also couldn't taste the truffle oil at all. There was visible oil pooling at the bottom of the plate, but no noticeable truffle flavor. I understand pistachio pesto tends to be more subtle than a traditional basil pesto, but altogether, this dish just fell completely flat for me. The presentation didn't help either. It looked more like something that had been scooped from a pan and dropped onto the plate than a thoughtfully plated entree. When a dish misses both on flavor and presentation, that's when it becomes a real disappointment for me. I will say the gnocchi itself was cooked well, which was one of the few positives. I also tried the burger, and it was significantly better than my pasta. However, the very small sprinkle of bacon was a little baffling considering it was an additional upcharge. Where the night really went downhill was at the end of the meal. I had been excited to try the beignets because that isn't a dessert I see on menus very often. Our entree plates were cleared, and then we waited about 20 minutes before our server returned and asked whether we were ready for the check. Dessert wasn't mentioned, and by that point our table was tired of waiting, so we decided to skip it and asked for our checks. Then our server disappeared for another 30 minutes. We eventually had to flag down a hostess who was seating another table and let her know that we were still waiting for the check. About five minutes later, our server finally returned and casually explained how "crazy" the night had gotten because of the show. I understand restaurants get busy, but the apology felt very dismissive after we had waited nearly an hour from finishing our entrees to finally receiving the check. It genuinely felt like our table had simply been forgotten. I also want to add that I tend to hold restaurants like this to a higher standard. I'm a big believer in "you get what you pay for." If I'm eating at a fast-food spot or somewhere inexpensive and casual, there's only so much room to complain. But when a restaurant has prices like this, highlights premium ingredients on the menu, and presents itself as a more elevated dining experience, I think that naturally opens the food and service up to more criticism. At that price point, I expect the quality, presentation, and overall experience to reflect what I'm paying for. My final takeaway is that maybe I ordered the wrong dish. Pesto is one of my favorite things, so I almost always want to give a pesto-based dish a try. Unfortunately, Prohibition's pesto gnocchi was not it for me. I also saw that they describe themselves as a scratch kitchen using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, which I don't necessarily doubt. What confused me was how so many ingredients that should have distinct flavors somehow tasted like almost nothing. If your goal is interesting drinks and a fun show, this is probably still a place worth considering. Since we sat outside, I can't speak on the show part, but it seems to be a big hit. Food-wise, though, it missed the mark for me.
