    Cam was an excellent server. He recommended the salmon and it did not disappoint! It exceeded my expectations and the brussels sprouts were also amazing. They might've been a little undercooked, but the flavoring and crispiness made me not even Care. The views are fantastic and there was plenty of seating on a Tuesday night. There was a guy doing some kind of bingo inside with a microphone with music trivia, but I sat outside and it was gorgeous. Highly recommend and I can't wait to go back.

    I like their steak but I think their whipped potatoes are too cheesy. But overall that's a good fish and I liked the broccolini

    Tonight my friend celebrated her Birthday here! We were seated at 5 and the place filled up fairly quickly; so I'd recommend a reservation. I wanted to step outside for some pictures and of course "the vue" And the manager went out of her way to make this happen. There were steaks, pork chops, burgers, salads, and fish and chips at our table. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we had a great time!

    Coming here for a special event is always fun. There was live music going on a Friday right before Iowa football Hawkeye game. The place was bustling. The food is good and the music isn't loud enough that you can't talk. What stood out to me, food wise was the crispy Duck wontons as an appetizer. The prices are about as expensive as you will get Iowa City but you go there for the view - no pun intended and high-quality food and service. Also make sure to use your yelp check in which they honored. It's been my experience many Iowa City restaurants have it, and the weight staff and managers have no clue as they had to take my phone in the back, but at least they took off 1 eight dollar appetizer of our $200 something bill for five people

    The cheesecake was a little gritty for my taste.

    I can't speak to the vibe of the restaurant or the ambiance but I stayed at the Element nextdoor, and I seen a sign that said this restaurant offered delivery to the rooms, so I took advantage. I called and ordered a meal and dessert, the service over the phone and the delivery were both great!

    We love going to the Vue on game weekends, it's a great spot to get drinks and a bite to eat and catch up with friends also just getting into town! The view is amazing, look at the sunset view I got the other day! During my brother's recruitment process, they also had us all go up here for a welcome dinner and we've gone back multiple times since. Usually we'll sit at the bar, but this past time we ordered dinner too and the service is always so lovely. People love to chat here also, we're always meeting new people!

    I came here to the Vue Rooftop with my boyfriend for date night. Great atmosphere (it really does have a great view of Iowa city) drinks were great and so was the food. My boyfriends food was incorrect at first but it was corrected right away and our server made a point to make sure everything was great which we both love (especially since we both have worked in the service industry). Would 100% come back and highly recommend!!!

    Had a beautiful evening dinner at Vue! Their service is impeccable, and our waitress was fun to interact with for the evening. She recommended the pork chop, which was one of the juiciest pork chops I've had in a long time. The food was great and I wanted to enjoy about three more cocktails as delicious as this one was. Appetizer: cheese curds (4/10) Soup: tomato bisque (10/10) Entree: Iowa pork chop (7/10) Cocktail: Four Birds Calling (10/10) Tip: get a table by the window, if possible and enjoy a beautiful views day or night out over Iowa City. During the summer, enjoy their open air patio, but it will fill up quickly.

    I was on a trip to Iowa and wondered where I could get a nice meal, ambiance, and have a nice time after an event. I was invited to Vue, and it checked all the boxes. I had the fried Walleye Po Boy. It was seasoned very well. I also had the mashed potatoes which were delicious. The menu had great selections, there was much more I will choose next time I visit. The scenic view just added to this wonderful restaurant.

Every single thing we ordered felt fresh, thoughtful, and just really well done. My kids were obsessed with the chocolate chip pancakes (which says a lot), and my dad and I worked our way through a few different dishes. The biscuits and gravy were comforting and rich without being too heavy, and even the simple eggs were cooked perfectly. But the standout? The breakfast tacos. They were insane. The pork was seasoned perfectly, super flavorful without being overwhelming, and everything just worked together so well. Also, do not skip the fresh squeezed orange juice or the local sourdough with homemade preserves. You can taste the difference. It's one of those places where you can tell they really care about the ingredients. Service was warm and easy, and the vibe just makes you want to sit and stay a while. We'll 100% be back if we're ever in Iowa City again!

Definitely one of the coolest places in Iowa City to hang out with all the college kids and wild partying folks. The one problem that we had with the Fieldhouse was violence! There were some absolute punks trying to make trouble because there was the beauty queen of the century dressed like a glamour model (swoon swoon swoon), and she was with a guy that looked like a short Latin Prizefighter (as in, a mismatch to superficial types, she was a foot taller than him) and these very aggressive tall punks apparently thought she was too good for him so they tried to start a fight by touching her and making inappropriate comments and insulting her boyfriend. So I had to come in between them and I got smacked for my trouble. I helped to prevent a really bad fight and then the police showed up and they tried to arrest both the punks and the boyfriend and the hot girlfriend. So I had to explain to the police that I had no relation to any of the people in the fight and that there were really only one set of instigators and the other ones were just trying to defend themselves. And that she was molested. In the end I managed to talk everyone down with the help of my good friend the police officer and nobody got arrested but it was some really messed up stuff. The cop was either going to arrest everyone, or nobody. So it was better for everybody that nobody get arrested. You're welcome, cutie and cutie's bf. Call me. But yeah, the crowd in here - insane. Wall to wall, sea of people, like sardines. Loud and crazy. Sometimes even playing good music. Sometimes.

What I mean by that is, it does not look like a Mexican restaurant. But it EXCELS at Mexican cuisine. I highly recommend ordering anything you'd see at a Mexican restaurant. The drinks: The Blueberry Fields drink was good but pricey given the size and wasn't "blueberry" enough for my husband. I liked it, but I'd want it by the mason jar, and that would be super expensive. I had the hibiscus margarita and it was *very* enjoyable. The food: My husband had the Des Moines Po' Boy. I wish he would have realized that he was basically getting a sub. He liked the soft bread. Overall though, he wasn't impressed. He said it was kind of bland. But he loved the fries and ranch. I had the puerco en salsa verde--this dish is incredible! Really tender chunks of pork in a rich tomatillo salsa verde with beans and rice. The only thing that could be better is if there were 3 fresh corn tortillas instead of 2. There is so much rich, delicious, saucy pork to eat, that you need 3 to enjoy it all. The tortillas are fresh made too. So yummy! In summary: Go here and enjoy all the Mexican dishes!

The interior is quaint, cozy, and clean. Lighting and bits of stained glass create the feeling you're in a spot directly influenced by Iowa City's famous statue. The menu is somewhat unexpected. The Black Angel serves up Mexican food and all-day breakfast fare. I ordered the Chorizo and Eggs, which came with two flour tortillas and a cup of black beans. My boyfriend ordered a similar item and we both agreed the black beans had a liquified consistency. (Was this unconventional preparation the work of the Black Angel herself...?) My breakfast tacos were delicious and I had no complaints on that end. I also enjoyed a margarita which was on happy hour special (half-off). It was a generous serving size and decently strong yet drinkable. Our waitress was attentive, fetching our drinks and food in snappy time. She also checked on us after being served to make sure all was well and we weren't having any Black Angel-inspired bad luck with our dining experience. I recommend you spread your wings and check out this local eatery. It pairs well with a visit to the cemetery, too!
