The restaurant is located on lake Hamilton, with nice views and a wonderful breeze. We were seated at a corner table after a 10 minute wait. We enjoyed the views of the water and the Canada geese while we waited. Our server was friendly and answered all our questions. I had grilled Red Fish which was delicious, my wife had the Catfish & Shrimp, which was delicious as well. Our Springer enjoyed the hush puppies which came as a side. Definitely an enjoyable experience!

Food was not great but in this part of town, not a lot open on Sunday's. The restaurant is dirty, outdated and when my crab stuffed shrimp came the shrimp was small, inconsistently cooked, the crab stuffing had an ammonia taste and the sides of mango coleslaw and broccoli slaw were overly sugar. I did not send my food back because I overheard servers discussing that happening at another table and the consequences. I strongly suggest you steer clear. And the poor response from the owner with no option for revisit and follow up Is par for the course. Again...watch your chef staff and wait staff!

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!

We happened to stumble upon this gem randomly during our trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas not expecting much but wow were we absolutely blown away. First, you walk into a dimly lit, intimate dining area and seated at a table with very comfy chairs and menus that light up for visibility. Next, your waiter is SO knowledgeable about every item on the menu. I had history lessons about the rice production in the area while learning about which dishes to choose. While waiting for your food, you are served an edgy orange-glazed dinner roll that is simultaneously intriguing and comfortingly familiar. A delicious twist on a classic. The head chef also came around serving an amuse-bouche of another experimental apple dish which was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. Food comes- oh my goodness I cannot explain how amazing the Chislic beef tips were. Every component of this dish was just so thoughtfully crafted and well-blended. Each bite was bursting with flavor and energy. My partner also loved the potato soup. Our mains were equally impressive- my fennel rice in particular knocked my socks off. I have never tasted rice so decadent and aromatic in my life. The salmon was of course great but certainly not the star of the show. Finally, the bread pudding at the end was the cherry on top of the culinary bliss we had just experienced. I would drive 10 hours back to Hot Springs just for this restaurant. So sad it has to be so far. Do not miss your opportunity to come here if you happen to be in town!!

A True Gem in Hot Springs - Wards Crawfish Hole is the Real Deal!…read moreWe had the absolute pleasure of dining at Wards Crawfish Hole in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and I can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had! We called last minute to see if they could accommodate us for a very special occasion -- my elderly mother-in-law's 77th birthday -- and not only did they say yes, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. In a world where genuine hospitality can be hard to find(we had a horror experience with Cajun Boilers), the customer service at Wards was exceptional. Warm, friendly, attentive, and completely authentic -- the kind of service that turns a good meal into a great memory. Now, let's talk about the food: absolutely out of this world. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and bursting with true Cajun flair. From the appetizers, fried okra, fried pickles and pork rinds, to the oysters- fresh blue points and grilled, to the Argentinian red shrimp, Cajun shrimp, to the gumbo, everything we tried tasted homemade with love and attention to detail. And the best part? Very reasonably priced for the incredible quality. It's no exaggeration to say this is hands down the best Cajun food in town -- possibly the best outside of Louisiana! And our family is from Cajun descent! Whether you're a local or just passing through, Wards Crawfish Hole should be at the top of your list. Delicious food, fair prices, and service that makes you feel like family -- what more could you ask for? We're already planning our next visit. Thank you, Wards, for making a special day even more unforgettable!
