At Red Vault Bistro a chef, professionally trained in Switzerland, delivers world class cuisine at a 3rd world price.Our tastebuds were taken on a ride through flavor-town. As I bit into my turkey sandwich, I found myself blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The turkey and gouda unite on a perfectly toasted ciabatta bun. A combination that sent us into a state of ecstasy.Our server Elizebeth curated an atmosphere where our party felt right at home. Her charming demeanor and divine wisdom is something we will never forget.We shall return every year to feast at The Red Vault Bistro!Thank you,Texas Independence RelayTeam#47 “Laces Out Freaks”

Atmosphere 10/10 overall. 6/10 at our table. We had a group of 7 so they put us in a semi-private corner next to lots of stacks of inventory next to the kitchen. Workers talked extremely loudly behind us throughout the evening while we were trying to have a quiet, relaxing meal. This caused the atmosphere to nose dive. Service 5/10 Our server was very nice, but not very efficient. She never checked back on our drinks (thankfully there was water on the table), and there were several times we needed something and after waiting 10-15 minutes for a steak knife, or tea, I had to hunt someone down only to be told to wait because they were busy doing something else. She seemed super stressed. Again, when trying to have a relaxing meal, continually having to hunt down what we needed, trying to talk over loud servers near the kitchen, and feeling bad asking for what we needed so we don't stress out the server- it's just not great. One of the worst things was trying to discreetly discuss for which of the guests I was paying. When we first arrived, I attempted to let them know immediately so there would be no awkwardness when the bill came. Two different ladies came over and loudly started pointing and asking whose meals were going on my ticket and making a big deal about how confusing it was. It was so embarrassing. A got up and asked if she could step aside to discuss it with me. I wanted to quietly pay for 5 of the 7 guests. It just felt very low-class for such a nice place. Food: Smoked salmon appetizer 10/10 Crab cakes 8/10 a little heavy for me, but that's a personal preference. I e read reviews of other stating it's the best they e ever had. I prefer lighter crab cakes I've had in Columbus. (I don't think I can name other restaurants in a review) Salmon dinner 7/10. Seemed a bit overcooked House salad with vinaigrette- 9/10. Field greens. Very tasty. No choice on dressings. It's this or Caesar. Luckily it was very good. Sea bass 10/10 Perfect and delicious Pork chop - 8/10 Beautiful presentation but tasted average. Filet Mignon - 9/10 Extremely tender. Would give a 10 with more seasoning. Very good, though. Rib-eye 7/10 Disappointing. Not bad, but I've had better at average family steakhouse chains. All meals were served with garlic mashed potatoes that were very good, and yellow broccolini, which was also good. We wished there were options on the sides, but there are not. French bread - very good, warm and crusty. Real butter. Overall, for the amount of money we spent (around $600 for 7 people), I would prefer service to be better. Or at least not harried and loud. Staff REALLY needs training. This is however, a small town. If I were in Dallas or Houston, I'd expect impeccable service. I will return and sit in a different location and know what not to order. Business seemed to be good and I wish them all the best.

The place is ran by an amazing owner/host and a professionally trained chef from Switzerland. Portions are decent and the flavors are amazing. The salmon was cooked to perfection. My family really enjoyed the experience.

My husband and i are traveling from Arizona to Florida and stopped here for dinner. The food down to the dessert was amazing ! The waitress, who i believe was the owner, was so nice and made us feel very welcome. The only thing missing was maybe a little bit of light low music in the background because it was really quiet, but other than that everything was perfect !

What a wonderful surprise to walk into the Red Valut Bistro. We experienced a great Cod dinner and house salad with grilled garlic shrimp. Quality you only find in big city expensive restaurants. Loved it and will definitely be coming again. Thanks to Elizabeth... such a great service.

A friend recommended this new restaurant in Flatonia. They are open for lunch and dinner on Wednesday so we went. I ordered a fresh greens salad with grilled shrimp. And my husband had the fried cod with fries and slaw. Both were delicious. The prices are about the same as every place we usually go. And the ambiance here was lovely. Our waitress was excellent. It was a very nice meal and beautiful place. Great stop.

This restaurant is exceptional! Our waitress was charming and was well versed on the wine list. Our food was delicious and rivaled anything we have grown accustomed to in Dallas. It made us feel like we were in Europe!
We had wonderful turkey sandwiches and fries for lunch. Food was very good, and service was fast and attentive. Great place.

We had a reservation for Mother’s Day brunch. We were seated immediately but waited for 30 minutes before I finally asked if we could place our drink order. When the food arrived at the table, the chicken cordon bleu seemed to be from a box, not made in the kitchen, but I can’t prove it. The desserts were certainly from a box. That’s fine for a place like Chili’s, but the price point of Red Vault is inconsistent with the quality of the product. Disappointed.
