The filet was a bit tough and a bit under cooked for my preference. It also had no char in it, seeming more like a boiled steak. Strange. The cheese curds are fabulous, tasty, melty and delicious! The NY Rib-eye was a bit more fatty than we like as well, and a bit chewy. They did indicate there was a new chef so maybe that contributed. I’d say stay clear of the steaks for now but there is so much more on the menu. We were the only party when we arrived but it was packed when we left! I was disappointed that there were only 2 dessert choices and after hearing what they were, I wonder if they aren’t a frozen dessert they get and defrost. It was ‘okay’ but only that.

We have been celebrating our wedding anniversary for 36 years in Dubuque and were looking for a new restaurant to share dinner. The Vault is conveniently located just 1/2 block from our motel, the Holiday Inn, on Main St and after reading reviews on line, thought we would give it a try.
We requested a booth and were seated area near the bar but far enough away where we could talk comfortably. There appeared to be a large dining area further back in the establishment for families. Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu. We each ordered 1 drink with my wife requesting a white zinfandel and me a mixed drink. They did not have the white zin so she opted for the Moscato, which she indicated was quite good. We each ordered 8 oz, medium well filets with my wife getting the baby baked potatoes and I elected for the the mash potatoes with gravy. The entree also included a dinner salad. We found the dinner salad to be fresh and the dressing options complete. The only thing lacking was possibly a bread basket to add with the dinner salads.
The filets were cooked perfectly and very delicious. My mashed potatoes were excellent and my wife loved the baby baked potatoes. We finished off dinner with some dessert and elected for the berry cheesecake that we shared. It was wonderful and definitely would order again.
There service was great with our server being very helpful and the manager checking on us to insure everything was acceptable.
Overall, I think we have found out new go-to spot in Dubuque for dinner. We were there early, around 5:00pm. It was a great experience and well worth a visit if you are in Dubuque.

One of our favorites! Never disappointed. They change up their food and cocktail menu often. Giant pretzel is sooo good. The blue gill is also tremendous. Always recommend.

Fabulous service and the Signature drinks were worth the visit! The filet was a bit tough and a bit under cooked for my preference. It also had no char in it, seeming more like a boiled steak. Strange. The cheese curds are fabulous, tasty, melty and delicious! The NY Rib-eye was a bit more fatty than we like as well, and a bit chewy. They did indicate there was a new chef so maybe that contributed. I’d say stay clear of the steaks for now but there is so much more on the menu. We were the only party when we arrived but it was packed when we left! I was disappointed that there were only 2 dessert choices and after hearing what they were, I wonder if they aren’t a frozen dessert they get and defrost. It was ‘okay’ but only that. Service was top notch!

We were seated as soon as we arrived and waited on. Would liked it if the waitress would have introduced herself. She was very pleasant. It would be nice if bread was served with their meals. Otherwise everything was great.
