    My wife and I went for our anniversary, and she loved it. Rudy was our server, and he was great. We had the shrimp cocktail, I had the duck breast, and my wife had the filet. The duck and filet were fine but lacked flavor. We were disappointed in the shrimp cocktail, which is why I gave the food a 4. If you want to see what a shrimp cocktail should be, head to Cattleman's. The service, though, was outstanding. Our dinner took two hours, but it flew by. We never felt wanting. As a bonus, our dessert and glasses of champagne were comped. Nice touch on our anniversary. We will most definitely be back. Just won't get the shrimp cocktail. Wink wink!

    Wow. This was a great experience. The service was warm and attentive. The food was full of depth and flavor, as well as being familiar and yet unexpected. I loved the interplay of Asian elements into traditional Southern/Oklahoman cuisine, such as with the main course of Chicken Fried Steak.

    This was a dinner with friends that was a very special time for us. We knew it had to be Vast! It did not fail expectations. The ambience was just what we all needed. The steaks as always were perfect. In celebration we had their new cosmo and it was a lovely surprise. With a nice wine paired with our dinner, time for conversation in an elegant quiet, it was the wonderful evening adding another Vast memory.
