If you're in Wilkes-Barre--whether you're a resident or just visiting--or anywhere in the…read moresurrounding areas, including Scranton, I highly recommend checking out Diamond City Vault. From start to finish, the food was outstanding. We began with the Stracciatella soup and mussels, which were both absolutely out of this world, followed by a salad that was just as impressive. For our entrées, we enjoyed the shrimp tacos, which were incredibly fresh and delicious, and the aged steak, which was cooked to perfection and truly top-notch. Even though we were completely full, we couldn't resist dessert. We shared the limoncello cake with cappuccino, and, like everything else we had, it was exceptional. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the service was impeccable, and the owner couldn't have been more gracious. He's clearly passionate about making this restaurant a success, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. As a thoughtful surprise, our dessert and cappuccinos were complimentary. It certainly wasn't expected, but it was a very kind and professional gesture that we genuinely appreciated. If you're anywhere in the Wilkes-Barre area--or even if you're farther away--Diamond City Vault is absolutely worth the trip. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Now I heard the local talk of this establishment was having some real, delicious food. So, you know when the chance arose, I was there. No because it was unexpected this is a short video showing off my dinner, the meatloaf dinner. With this particular dinner you have your choice of potato, my choice was their fresh cut homemade fries, yep, I added the gravy. This was very succulent. baked to perfection, you tasted the seasonings, the gravy. The appetizer was the nacho cheese platter where the chips were toasted, and the cheese gave it that extra flavor. I did have their soup which I forgot the name, sorry, but OMG this was also very delicious, we will be back. From service to the food 5 out of 5!

Decided to try something different so did a search and saw some recommendations for "legendary"…read moreDukeys. So we thought we'd give it a try. Got there at about 6 PM Friday evening decided to sit in the bar area because there was live entertainment starting at 7. We waited a few minutes before a bartender / waitress came into the bar side and placed a drink order and got some menus. I'd like to review the service, but it was non-existent. We sat at the bar with our drinks and menus for about 35-40 minutes and no one stopped back to take our order. In fact there was no staff member covering the bar area despite that fact that it was dinner time on a Friday evening with entertainment scheduled to begin within the hour. The owner, who had come into the bar area 3 or 4 times from the dining area / back room, was told by one of the regulars that we were first timers at the establishment. Instead of welcoming us or asking if we were waited on or had placed an order, he walked up to the taps right next to where we were sitting, filled a drink, looked up at the TV and never uttered a word to us or looked in our direction. He left the bar area and went back into the dining area. That's the last we saw of him. As for the bartender / waitress, she hadn't been back since we got our drinks. We waited a few more minutes, finished our drinks and since there was no one around to ask for our tab, we used the menu and calculated what we owed for our drinks. Dropped cash on the bar and left. First time, last time I'll ever set foot in there. Think we left a tip?? BTW, the place wasn't busy. There were no more than 6-8 cars in the parking lot when we left for Hops & Barleys. H & B was an exceptional experience and we will be returning.

The service is impeccable, with staff members being exceptionally friendly and attentive.

After a long day of being present and doing everything asked of me, it was time to just sit and…read morerelax for as much as I could. I came here after an event elsewhere and found it to be very laid back compared to where I was before. It wasn't at all crowded which was welcoming. The night I was there it was a karaoke night. Which put a bit of a interesting twist on the night. The DJ facilitating the karaoke was quite entertaining and the people attempting to do their best singer impersonation was, well, let's just say you will never catch me up on a stage. The bar was a bit of hit or miss. I asked for what I thought they had and was told to hold up a minute. They came back and told me they were out of it and awaiting a delivery. I went with a Level Up IPA that I ended up sipping on for a majority of the night. Let me get into the place a bit. It looks a bit odd when you first arrive. It appears that at one point the main entrance was facing the street. Evident by the door that is behind the bar. The entrance now is on the side where the parking lot is. It is a bit deceptive if you only look at it from the outside. Not having stepped foot in here prior to that night I did not know how far back the actual space goes. If you were not to venture far from the bar you would think that the bar was the only thing about this place. But this space is so much more vast than one would think. Off of the bar is a billiard room, and then there is some table seating. Only reason I know this is that the restrooms are down past there. It looks as if they purchased a restaurant business that was next door and connected them. Just so we are aware, I have no idea if there is truth in there, I am only saying this because when you go off the bar, you go down an incline. All in all, this was a great place to unwind after an extremely busy day. It was loud and then quiet, dark and light, fun and boring all at the same time. I am told that their food isn't all that bad and it appeared they had specials throughout the week. I know one day they are not open, but I cannot remember what day that is.
