We visited the restaurant for the first time last weekend for lunch, it was a late lunch so the restaurant was kind of empty. We were greeted right away and the service was pretty good. The waitress was friendly without hovering over us. The chefs weren't busy and were chatting with each other rather loudly. Didn't bother us, but it... More

A group of us walked to Vesta from the Marriott for some drinks. It was not very busy at Vesta's and there was 14 of us spending quite a bit of money drinking nice drinks. The waitress was not good at all, she would bring our bill before we got drinks and most times wouldnt go around the table to... More

No secret anymore. This restuarant has become a popular Coralville eatery. Sit in a booth near the kitchen or request the "Library" for a cozy corner.

I've been to Italy a lot and can tell the difference, but the quality here is good, for what it is. Quite a popular and quite a pricey place. The other customers will be upmarket.

We stopped in late on a Friday night and it wasn't very crowded. We sat at the bar and ordered some small plates and drinks. The menu offered a lot of choices--more of a "big-city bistro" type menu. The appetizer portions were large enough to share. Both food and drink were very good and service was friendly. The decor is... More

Interesting menu, but food was average not spectacular. Service was a bit slow. Biggest advantage is location next to the Marriot Hotel so great if you're staying there.

Our family enjoyed a birthday dinner at Vesta this month. We made a Saturday night reservation. The atmosphere was warm, informal with a touch of fine-dining environment. The menu included beef, elk, lamp dishes along with salads, sandwiches and Flathead pizza. The drink list was to our liking as well with draft and bottled beers and an extensive wine list.... More

The service was ridiculously slow! The staff was also very unprofessional. We went in on a Sunday afternoon and there were 3 waitresses just standing around chatting, one bartender, and one cook who seemed to be the only one working! I wasn't impressed with the food, we even ordered their specialty items. The only thing this place has going for... More

Family of four visited for first time today...and we're so glad we did! Service was quick, knowledgeable and very attentive. Dining room was comfortable and quiet. The Vesta burger and chicken burger were both delicious and unique. Fries were yummy, too! Our young kids enjoyed sausage pizza and chicken strips and were clearly welcome here...we had not visited sooner because... More
