I'd searched for months for things to fill up my week, and with speakeasies on my radar this place was a MUST! I don't know if downtown Rapid City is usually jumpin' but it was pretty dead the night I went in July. This was fine for me as a first-timer. The drinks and atmosphere were great! The food... not so much. The lamb didn't have much seasoning or char. Make sure to follow the instructions and get your password before the evening begins. I'll definitely make it a point to come back next time I'm in town.

In reality, the food just didn't follow through. Service was quick and efficient, no complaints there, and the parking lot access is a major plus. But when the food doesn't land, the rest only carries you so far Parking? Lot. Easy and convenient I had: Pear Salad with Steak Tips (2/5): This had all the makings of a great dish. Baby savoy spinach, spiced poached pear, gorgonzola, cranberry, candied almond. A balanced, thoughtful lineup. Then it got buried. The honey balsamic was so heavy it turned the whole thing into a soggy, overdressed soup and wiped out any nuance. The gorgonzola was uneven, so bites were inconsistent, and there was almost no crunch to offset the softness. The steak tips tasted fine, but they were chopped into small pieces that made them feel irrelevant instead of intentional. It's the kind of dish that sounds great when you order it, then slowly disappoints with every bite

We dined at Juniper nearly two months ago, and everything was *phenomenal.*. Because it was a…read moreMonday evening, staffing was light, so Connor, the bartender, was doing it all: answering the phone, taking orders (no note pad, nailed every course), mixing the drinks, and checking in on us all while taking care of other customers. He and his helper were polished, professional, kind, and so much fun! To enter the restaurant, you have to go through the lobby of the Alex Johnson hotel and take the elevator up to the top floor. You emerge from the elevator in a cozy foyer with enormous windows, and the restaurant is through a heavy wooden door to the right. Inside the restaurant, the decor is Art Deco, light and airy with tin ceilings and tall windows. Everything was immaculately maintained. The menu was limited that evening, but we still found everything we wanted (I am vegan, my companions were not) from starters to dessert. The only bad part was that it was our last night in Rapid City and we couldn't take our leftovers, so we just ate as much as we could. The serving sizes were generous without being over the top. We would 100% return to Vertex if we visit Rapid City again.

We got queso fundito. It was tasty but the giant chunk of not so melted cheese was not my favorite. My niece got taco and enchilada with queso.

Our friend got chicken fajita burrito; very satisfying but I felt lacked some salt. He was happy with his dish. I got the Oaxaca bowl and it had so many things in it I had no idea what I was eating. Tasty, but overwhelming with toppings. So much brisket I could've made my own burrito. As a pretty new restaurant for rapid city, we were impressed!

They loved playing games and getting tickets and then getting their junky candy and trinkets as prizes. We did eat here on our first visit. I ordered a wedge salad and shared a pepperoni and mushroom pizza with my husband. The kids had kids meals. Portions were huge, but the food was pretty unremarkable or worse. The wedge salad was off. I think the lettuce had frozen and then then thawed. After one bite, I decided to stop eating rather than risk food poisoning. The pizza was maybe a step up above Chuck E Cheese? Bland but very greasy/oily. The kids meals had huge portions that neither kid could finish. I had a cocktail that was mostly juice. Very drinkable because it was juice. Thankfully it was a bargain (only $9.99). But other than the food stuff, the family had fun here. Enough that my husband took the kids back again (after dinner) the next night.

In fact, we ended up here by accident since the place we originally wanted to check out was apparently closed on Mondays. When the "Cheeseballs" came, more like large cheese dice, and I had my first bite, well, let my pictures say all that's needed. It was TERRIFIC. I don't know what they're doing to the batter, but it was lovely, and the cheese? I have no idea what kind it was, but it was amazing. In fact, because the cheese cubes were so good, I even got a smash burger. The bun was a potato bun, very much appreciated, and the meat had the perfect Maillard Reaction, crispy, wonderfulness. I just HOPE that they can keep the quality level HIGH, as Rapid City restaurants seem to go out of business pretty fast. If you're the owner reading this, please, please, please keep the quality high. If you're a customer, it might help if you go in middle of the afternoon. We were the only customers there, so I think we got the cream of the crop experience. When they're slammed, maybe it is a different story.

We loved it when this business was in its old location, but this space is so much better. They have couches, a bar, high tops, and even live music! They also sell merch. The bar is just beer and wine, FYI. No THC drinks either. My husband and I were in town for three days and we hung out here every day. I bought two cigars to take home and the employee gave me this sealable envelope and a packet to keep the cigars fresh. What an awesome place. We want to come back to Deadwood just to visit this place again! FYI - no one under 21yo and there aren't TV's. Enjoy your smoke, your beer, and talk to your people! I kinda wanted to go back with a book. Haha

Not a huge place but, they offer some fine cigars and a large humidor to back them up. They also sell local and domestics beers and wines which you can enjoy while smoking that stogie. SCENE: During our visit, Deadwood was located underground, under a casino / hotel. But according to their recently updated websites, the Deadwood Tobacco Company has moved to the Mason Building and now sits street-level in a new 7,000' facility next to the Silverado Casino. RECOMMENDATION(S): When in the town of Deadwood, DCT is a must try. Even if its just for a beer or two.
