Went on Valentine’s Day. Yeah, atmosphere was electric. Absolutely stunning. Food was pretty good. It was a limited menu for Valentine’s Day. The only issue we had was a service. The waitress was very nice and pleasant. Just took a while when she shouldn’t have. I think we waited 25 minutes before we placed our order. One of our orders was missing something. Definitely planning to go again to try their chicken Parm.

We recently held an event at this restaurant. Rented a small back room for a 30th anniversary party. The service was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was really attentive and always asking us what we needed. Five star service. The management also showed us around everything and we really enjoyed seeing all of the history of the restaurant. Great service, and good food. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this good restaurant.

Excellent atmosphere, delicious food and drink! Service was a bit off on the night we were there, short staffed and disjointed. But food will bring us back in the furture

Food is good. Service is terrible. For an upscale dinner the service staff is lacking on the service. Had reservation for two. Host tried to sit us in the bar on a high top table, next to loud group with young kids. Yes, kids in bar area. Asked for a regular table not in bar and was told no by a hostess that did not know what she was doing. She just walked away after I asked her to regular table. Went back to hostess stand while calling Lago to see if they had a table. I was on hold (with Lago) waiting to talk when I talked to another host and he sat us down in dinning room. Order some wine, one of the glass of wine clearly had lots of cork floating on top. Had to return for second glass. Food is good, however on first attempt my partner was brought the wrong dish. So, now my food is hot and ready but no dish for partner. A few minutes later new dish showed up, it was good. Last but not least, dessert was good, apple pie dish. For after dinner drinks no decaf coffee available. Regular coffee was ordered, came in coffee mug that had many chip and pealing paint on the mug. Then bottom line is this place is suppose to be upscale restaurant with prices to match. Service was average on scale of a Denny’s. Attention to detail is missing.

Wherever you are planning to go to, stop whatever you are doing & eat at this restaurant. This was the best restaurant I have ever dined at. To the amazing food, the wonderful service, to the beautiful detailed decor. To start off they have a lovely employee open the door to welcome you into the building. We were immediately greeted at the host stand & brought to our table. Everything at our table was clean and organized. Not even a minute after we were seated our server Katie came to our table with a bubbly but professional personality. She gave us great recommendations and knew the menu to a tea. We got the bruschetta appetizer, walleye piccata and burrata vodka pasta for our entrees, and a one of a kind strawberry cheese cake dessert (bruschetta, burrata vodka pasta, strawberry cheese cake, dirty girl cocktail, and from the brunch menu, berry waffles, steak with eggs in the back are pictured below). The music that they were playing wasn’t to loud & included some of my favorite songs. From the bottom of my heart everything we had to eat was absolutely amazing. The manager Kevin came to our table multiple times. He was very kind and welcoming. He made us feel like family and checked on how our food and experience was throughout our entire dinning experience. If I could give more than 5 stars for this restaurant I would.
Ps. Tip your servers! They deserve it.

Absolutely phenomenal! The service, food, atmosphere and all the kind staff. I got to celebrate my 27th birthday there with my husband and I’m still so impressed with everything we got. We started with the calamari (so fresh!) and of course had to try their clam chowder soup which was amazing. Generous amount of clam. Do yourself a favor and order a bowl! I had the lobster roll which had a generous amount of lobster with a side of fries and it was easily a 9.7/10. My husband had their steak & potatoes which was also amazing. The steak was so tender and melted in your mouth.
The chef was going table to table multiple times over the night which I appreciated so much and he was so kind and personable! Everything is made fresh daily, nothing pre packaged and we COULD TELL.
We will definitely be back very soon

Great atmosphere. Our server was quite slow at meeting our needs. Food was just ok. Baked oysters were decent! Lobster bisque was very watery. Beef tips dry. The salmon, Italian style was good. Ahi tuna, seared, but cold on the inside. Presentation of food was good!

A Perfect Anniversary Dinner!
My wife and I had the privilege of dining with the fine individuals at Vault 232 for our one-year anniversary dinner. The atmosphere was incredible—vintage, chill, and very historic.
Our waitress, Katie, could not have been a better host. After receiving some refreshing complimentary champagne to celebrate, our orders were delivered in a timely manner. The Dutch bread was very authentic and perfect for soaking up my Clam Chowder. We also ordered the catfish and cod, both of which practically melted in our mouths with a sensational lemon flavor.
Thank you to all the staff who made our dining experience so memorable. We will be back!

Very fun atmosphere, amazing food, and great service! So many options on the menu with differing price ranges for all taste buds. I got the fresh catch salmon and it was delicious. Fun speakeasy feel with lovely outdoor space.

The best food I’ve had in a long time! We had the Chilean sea bass & the scallops on bacon. Seasonings were delish. There was a phenomenal apple crisp that I could have eaten much more of! The atmosphere inside an old bank was fun & beautifully decorated. This is a hidden gem in the heart of Lake Zurich. GO there everybody!
