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!

The menu lights up as you open it and everything on it sounded delicious. The servers, Peter and Emily, were so fun and helpful! They brought out these heavenly yeast rolls basted in truffle butter...what??? I got the market fish special which was grouper, and my husband got the grilled pork chop. Come with an empty stomach if you get the pork chop. It is a very generous portion and is delicious! The grouper was perfection...crispy on the outside, light and flakey inside, sitting atop beautiful spring vegetables and a lovely light beurre blanc sauce. It was topped with edible flowers and micro greens. I regret that I did not take a photo (we were so hungry), but it was just divine. The chef came over to ask what we thought and we told him everything was amazing. The staff were absolutely lovely. We can't say enough good things. This is what a restaurant experience on vacation should be like. What a gem! Hopefully next time we visit we can try the dessert menu! We won't even get into how they make bread pudding out of those delicious rolls...

Veggies for both or omelet and hash brown bowl were cooked on the grill to add some char, for a little extra flavor. Although their bread is not homemade, if you didn't ask, you wouldn't know. Quality addition for the customer. They have fresh baked goods available in the restaurant. They also have baked good options in the store. The blueberry sweet rolls are worth it.

This cafe was actually the best! Keisha was our server and she was so inviting, knowledgeable, and…read moreincredibly friendly to me and my boyfriend. I usually don't write reviews, but I was blown away with both service and the quality of our food. I ordered the Pork Belly Skillet Hash on recommendation and it was fantastic. The pork was packed with flavor and was perfectly matched with the potatoes and poached eggs. We also tried the Brioche bites as a starter and they were delicious and tasted just like Cinnabon delights as Keisha said. We are both from New Orleans and are tough critics to impress because of it. Overall the atmosphere, service, and delicious food makes Best Cafe a must see on your trip to Hot Springs. We enjoyed it so much we are going to go back tomorrow on our trip to try different dishes. 10/10!

Cafe 1217 - A Fresh Break from the Road Trip Diet…read more What a relief to stumble into Cafe 1217 after days of heading southwest on a steady rotation of BBQ, grits, and beans. Delicious, yes... but the body eventually starts asking for a vegetable and a reset. The space itself matches that feeling. Simply decorated, with bright murals, clean lines, and a cheerful, easygoing vibe that feels light the moment you walk in. My husband gave me full ordering authority, which is always a bold move. I went straight into tapas mode because everything on the menu looked too good to choose just one. We ended up with a spread: chicken pot pie (which quickly abandoned any "small plate" intentions), field greens and baby spinach, a shrimp and crawfish cake, and one of each of Rosy's authentic hand-rolled tamales. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that heavy, road-trip food fatigue. The mint lemonade was refreshing and delicious, a little on the sweet side, but it worked. Service, while perfectly fine, could benefit from a warmer welcome and a bit more guidance, especially for first-timers trying to navigate such an inviting menu. A little extra friendliness up front would go a long way here. Our only real regret? Not saving room for dessert. They looked very tempting, and we'll be thinking about that missed opportunity. If you're on the road and craving something lighter without sacrificing flavor, this spot is a welcome pause.

For example, another restaurant, in Houston no less, offered a house made tortellini dish with TRUFFLES for $32. Maybe I should've considered my options a bit more but the reviews and recommendations set high expectations. The ambience / vibe felt poorly executed. Seems like they use the side room for storage. During our visit the door was left open, and it was obvious employees were going in and out to watch the basketball game. The one positive was the drinks.

The coffee is great and I tried a Toasted Coconut Cubano (Iced) and the Cuban Delight Breakfast. The Toasted Coconut Cubano was a nice change for me from hot coffee drinks and perfect for a warm August morning in Hot Springs. The Cuban Delight with fruit was very satisfying with a large serving of pork and eggs cooked to perfections. Jane had an Almond Croissant and our friend had the Forrest Runner Breakfast. Both enjoyed their selections. Service was very good, Cafe Mi Amor is a fun place. Next time I will try one of the fresh juice drinks.
