Great steak and excellent ambiance. Server was attentive and friendly. We celebrated our anniversary and were treated with kindness.

We had a reservation for 2 at 5:30pm on 10/11/2025. We arrived early and to our surprise the doors were locked. Knowing it was a hotel (mind you we are not from this area nor have we ever been at this establishment) so we walked to the hotel entrance. Bar was open, but a black partisan was blocking an entrance. I peeked my head in and seen an entrance to the steakhouse. A random person asked if I had reservations. I said yes and he said come on in. Mind you I had to "squeeze thru the wall". After getting seated, which the staff was very nice and accommodating. We were told not to take pictures because the restaurant was reserved for "players only". So they labeled themselves as a history spot for Lombardi but I wouldn't be able to enjoy the history on the walls. Sad. During our dinner the restaurant wasn't even half full. Yes, it was early but this restaurant is booked 3 months in advance. Just be careful booking dinner when a team of nobody's comes to eat. GO PACK GO!

Vince Lombardi's has the look and feel of a classic steakhouse. Lots of wood with leather seats and of course a Vince Lombardi trophy. There is a sign on the street and another on a door that leads to an elevator, however that's not where you enter. It is located in the Hilton hotel with no valet to speak of, a parking garage is across the street. There was a mixup with the bottle of wine I ordered, however they were accommodating and brought me the correct bottle. The food was very delicious and the sides are ample for a table of four. We finished with a strawberry and whip cream pound cake dessert which was flavorful even with a slightly dry cake. Overall it was a good dining experience and I would return.

Traveling from Chicago visiting my client in Appleton for a business trip. Bartenders were absolutely GREAT recommending drinks. On the other hand, the waiter's knowledge of the menu was good. The appetizers were small for the value, the side dishes size was large (but were lukewarm warm) and main entree steak was bland and chilian sea bass was undercooked. 6 people for $750.00 was not worth the price. I DON'T recommend wasting your time or money.

Lump crabmeat cocktail is phenomenal... Had the sea bass, perfectly cooked and generous portion. Great service. Unfortunately there was no room left for dessert...

Food and service were excellent. A great dining experience. Bit pricy, but well worth it. Highly recommend Lombardi's Steakhouse.

Service was good, waitress was very nice, but the food was very disappointing for what was supposed to be an upscale experience. Had a glass of of red wine, it was bad, tasted like it came out of a bottle that had been open a long time ago. New York strip was good, cooked to order, lobster was mushy, Crispy potatoes were just cooked baby reds, not crispy, and the bread was not good. My meal was not nearly worth the more than 100 dollar price tag. I would not recommend this place.

Decent food; Overpriced through. Friendly service, nothing exceptional. Quiet, inviting atmosphere. Overall it was fine but given the area it's in and some of the other options available I would say it's better than a majority.

Wait staff was good. Food delivery was very slow despite the restaurant being quiet. It took nearly 20 minutes for the first course/salads to arrive. Later we learned that one of our entrees was sold out and had to reorder. Veal picatta was tough - should have ordered a steak.

I wanted to come here for my birthday dinner and everything was absolutely fantastic! Delicious bourbon, old-fashioned cocktails to start. Four of us got the filet mignon and all of us thought they were a great flavor and melt in your mouth tender, the other two enjoyed a ribeye steak and the brick chicken - also amazing. Broccolini was our favorite, asparagus, the potato sides, all absolutely fantastic! Our server was very knowledgeable, the atmosphere and ambience so unique. I don’t understand any bad review of this place, yes, it’s expensive but sometimes you get what you pay for. We were all highly impressed with our experience and I can’t wait to come back.

Historical football stuff in there is really neat, the food is very overpriced and there's many other better places to grab a good steak or food in the area

Our soup course was good - we ordered the lobster bisque and onion soups - the veal piccata was very chewy and the spring roll was an overly oily egg roll with undercooked portions of the wrapper. The steak prices seemed high for some of cuts as well. It was disappointing.

Our guests had the petit filet mignon and the dry aged steak special and they were blown away! My crab cakes were very good and my wife liked her branzino, although it is clear this is a steakhouse and not a seafood restaurant. The service from our waitress Karli was outstanding as was the attention from the manager, Craig. We had a wonderful night!

It's fun but kind of an overpriced fake fancy restaurant. They were pretty clueless about making our drinks and we had to send one of them back. Also one of our steaks was severely overcooked and also had to be sent back. The waiter kept forgetting important details like serving the steaks and forgetting to give us steak knives. All that being said, except for a number of major misses most of the food was very good. Not at all worth the money. The prices were comparable to eating at Ruth Chris but not nearly as good, plus they didn't have any vegetarian entrees which seems dumb if you come with a large group.

Very cool place if you are a Packers fan, or just a football fan in general. Classy atmosphere, great food. Their version of an old fashioned is delicious.
