RVB never disappoints - from the staff and service to the menu, food and wine. Whether it's a lunchtime visit or evening dinner, we always love coming here. Everything is made to order and the vast majority of the food served is organic (even though they don't advertise that).
Wednesdays is 'Sushi Night' - a delightful surprise.
Owners Gabriel and Elizabeth are absolutely wonderful and it's clearly their desire to ensure you have the best possible experience.
They lovingly transformed the building when first coming to Flatonia several years ago, then sadly their beautiful restaurant was devastated by fire last year...never ones to give up, they started all over again and have reinvented themselves and made a miraculous come back where many others would have given up. It's rare these days to find a truly independent restaurant and to find one with such a unique narrative is heartwarming. Everything we've had has been delicious- we keep returning so we can try it all!

This place is amazing came here for lunch for my sister in laws birthday and everything was perfect from start to finish we had the bruschetta which was to die for I had the rib eye steak sandwich and it was delicious I don't know what they do to those fries but they are the best I've ever had my sister had the mushroom ravioli and she jut about licked the plate. We finished our meal with the tiramisu and that was delish. Service was excellent will definitely be back and soon. Check this place out you won't regret it

This place is a hidden gem! I must admit that I never expected to find a place like this in such a small town.
I found myself in Flatonia for lunch on a Wednesday. After trying several other restaurants that were closed, I settled on this place. I wasn't excited because of the $$$ on Yelp, but it seemed to be the only option in town. Boy was I surprised!
This place is located in a historic commercial block in a fabulous old building. The dinner prices may be steep (I didn't look), but the lunch prices were completely reasonable. There was a selection of sandwiches, salads, full plates, and salad. I settled on the turkey sandwich that came with fries. It was phenomenal! It was served on French bread and was fully loaded with turkey and extras. The fries were also just as good. I'm pretty sure they had Parmesan and truffle oil on them.
My entire bill, with an iced tea, was only $11.

I have dined in many food-centric cities...Tokyo, Paris, New York, Chicago...and this is absolutely one of the best dining experiences I have had. The quality of the food is second to none. I have ordered the mushroom ravioli, ribeye sandwich, lava and lemon cake. The attention to detail on all these items is incredible. Fresh ingredients and phenomenal flavor. You must go to Red Vault Bistro!

We gave this restaurant another chance at the owners, Elizabeth, request. What a difference from New Years eve. The rib eye steak was outstanding as was the salmon my wife ordered. We shared the house salad which was great. The house red wine was very good. The service was what you expect from a first class restaurant. We will definitely be back whenever we are close.

What a delightful surprise. This food ranks with any Paris bistro. Excellent wines and service contribute to the making of a great meal.
We had to come back a second time on our way back to Houston. The Saturday special fried chicken was out of this world. The chicken was moist and flavorful because they marinate the chicken overnight. We will have to find more reasons to drive to Flatonia to enjoy another wonderful meal. My husband added, the wine cellar is in a century old bank vault.
