My mom and I had a lovely, light and healthy lunch while enjoying a great conversation in this thoughtful restaurant with enough space to talk but also watch the game. The chicken noodle soup was a classic and flavorful and the broccoli side was perfectly prepared. The staff was helpful and attentive and the chef even checked on our meal. What a great place!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We visit Coralville a handful times a year for Iowa football games and visit our son. We had never gone to this restaurant until recently (11/7/25). We are sad that it took us so long to visit this restaurant as we really enjoyed all the food we ordered. The only drawback was the food and drinks ($7.25 for draft beer) were a bit pricey. I have no issue paying a big higher for good food but draft beer in this area for over $7 is a bit high in my opinion. Either way we will be back for their food. The Philly cheesesteak and sweet potato fries were the best combo I ever had. Of course I have never had one in Philly but for the midwest...best one I ever ordered. Sweet potato fries...I always order at other restaurants and these were the best. My wife enjoyed her wood fire pizza. The Jiyu sliders...fantastic. Just wish they had a bit more meat.

Food was great, it was my first time dining at Vesta. My wife and I haven't had a date night in a long time and Vesta did not disappoint. The food was fantastic, we ordered the Ahi Tuna Crisps for our app and it was flavorful and the tuna was seared perfectly. We also ordered the Mushroom Lover pizza and the Elk Reuben. Everything was tasty, seasoned perfectly, and very delicious. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised and will definitely be coming back to dine in again.
