I was traveling through town on business with a friend and we decided to eat here. All I can say is…read moretop notch. The service was great and the food was even better. I can't remember what my buddy had, but I chose the Lasagna and we had the bruschetta for an appetizer. The bruschetta was spectacular and the lasagna hit the spot. It is very reasonably priced in my opinion. We also tried dessert. We ordered the tiramisu and crème brûlée. Both were great. I think the crème brûlée was better though. It's in a really neat area. I will definitely eat here again if I'm ever in the area. I wish I had taken pictures of the food. But trust me. It's worth giving it a go if you're in the mood for good Italian food. I left miserably full. lol

The best part of our time was the spectacular service ever else wasn't good. We ordered the chopped salad because it is the "house specialty ". It was fine but nothing out of the ordinary, we shared chicken Marsala and were extremely disappointed with the gelatinous "sauce" that smothered the chicken. We also ordered a half order of creamy shrimp pesto and the pasta was gummy and even now I search for something positive to say. The portions are huge and it seems to be a local favorite but definitely not for our group.

The staff here is very calming, nice, and easy to talk to while also being extremely attentive. There wasn't a second I had sat in my seat wondering where my waiter was. I ordered their chicken fettuccine alfredo and the sauce was extremely well made. For dessert I ordered tiramisu which was absolutely delicious. It carried a very creamy and rich sweet flavor. Presentation for both my main dish and dessert was amazing Cons Dish wear seems to have wear but they're clean and will get the job done. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to any of my friends and will be visiting here soon to try more food!

Horrible service! I had a hair in my food and they didn't even remake it or anything. I was…read moreovercharged for some of our food and the waiter never came by to get me a refill or box. Do not go here. It's gone down hill! It used to be good.

I am a student at Kansas State. Naturally, this is not my average meal as I would consider this…read morepretty pricey. However, it was worth every penny that my family spent on my birthday, ha. I love eating for free. Being in downtown MHK, it's a relatively small joint. However, the spacing is easy to navigate, and the decor is very mature. They take themselves seriously, as they should! Anywho, tapas is a very European dining style, with small plates designed to not fill you immediately, so you're able to try several items on the menu in one night. After several visits now, I can say with full confidence that everything on the menu is worth trying and worth the money. The drinks are well measured and nicely balanced. They have experienced staff who know their menu, in the sense that their explanations are very informative. Please, treat yourself and get that basque cheesecake. It's pretty amazing! I'd recommend this to any alumni or parent taking a weekend to watch the cats give a beat down on the gridiron, and looking for a nice, memorable dinner with the family. Once again, students beware! This one isn't cheap! Lol.

Can't go wrong here. Service is always at the top of its game. Dim lighting and thoughtful seating…read moreelevates your purple t-shirt. I swear the water comes from the fountain of youth but the waitress says it's municipal tap water. The food is unlike anything else in a 50mi radius. (Eat your heart out Topeka :D) This time around I tried the Dutch baby and it was surprisingly tame but the white bean and tomato dip came to the rescue. The fam always loves this place and you should never let down the fam. Just frickin pleasant and ish XD

I was so excited that Eric R. found The Vault when researching Emporia for us to visit! We came on…read morea day trip and this is the first time I have traversed Kansas without a cooler and ice packs when I actually needed it! The owner Becky was so knowledgeable about all things cheese, meat, and gourmet treats (and moved to Emporia from New Jersey)! We got to sample a lot of different things, left to explore, and returned before closing to buy our goods. She provided us a cooler and we bought a small bag of ice down the street. There are pestos, tapenades, jarred beets, and other interesting items on the shelves. There is a frozen case with locally raised meat. Yet the star of the show is the case in the center, with cheeses and charcuterie galore! The menu organizes the cheeses by blue, single serving cheeses, soft, semi-soft, firm, and hard. There is a large list of salamis and then whole muscle meats. There were two items I was interested in that were sold out, the duck prosciutto and the queijo toledo. I will have to make my way back! I ended up buying from the single serving cheese a truffle chevre (which I had tonight with fennel, it was amazing), petit basque (my friend Melinda C. asked for a sample and we were all blown away by it), Saxonshires (five cheddars layered in colorful stripes: Double Gloucester, Chesire, Caerphilly, Leicester, and cheddar), and bresaola (salted, air-dried Italian beef that I usually have to get at Dean and Deluca in KC). Melinda C. bought the bay blue and chevrelait (smoked goat) besides a few of the same ones I got. We both are so excited that tomorrow we are having a bread-cheese-cured beef smorgasbord for dinner! Bring your cooler bag and ice packs to Emporia because this place is a must-stop (and has really cute decor too)!

What a unique experience!! Honestly that is how I can best describe my time here! We came with some…read morefriends while visiting town, and I absolutely loved the uniqueness of the building. It had a very vintage feel and decor and also was connected to an older gym from a school. Yet, they made the experience and vibe of your dinner feel nice and elegant. They're only open on the weekends, so make sure you get a reservation as it filled up very fast! They serve your food through many courses so be prepared to stay and enjoy for a few hours. We enjoyed the company of our friends as the environment was very laid back and took our time. You start with options for appetizers, soup/salad, entree, and dessert. They even had complimentary, adorable palette cleansers between each course! (My favorite was the raspberry sorbet-super delicious). For food we had the artichoke bruschetta for an appetizer (very different than normal bruschetta but flavorful). We also had the arugula salad which I thought was really good! For entree, I ordered the stuffed chicken and was pleased and satisfied with the flavors. It could have come out a bit hotter, but was still good. My boyfriend ordered the ribeye, which was a pretty good size and said he thoroughly enjoyed! And for dessert, we had the cheesecake which was homemade and very delicious. The staff was also friendly throughout the night but, again, just be prepared to take your time as they tend to as well! Overall, I had a great time and really enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend and would love to experience again!
