The value here depends on how much weight you give the fine-dining category. Vast is a contemporary American fine-dining restaurant with a smart-casual dress code and a $100-per-person price point. First-timers should expect a more polished choice than a casual Oklahoma City dinner.

The cuisine is contemporary American fine dining. That makes ordering easier for mixed groups: diners looking for dishes such as steak, seafood, lamb, duck, soup, or salad have clear options among the listed signatures. Those dishes include Surf and Turf, Filet Mignon, Pan-Seared Rack of Lamb, Pan-Seared Duck Breast, Sweet Potato Clam Chowder, Vast Caesar Salad. For a first visit, the strongest order is the one that matches the occasion: a signature entrée if dinner is the event, or a lighter meal during the Monday-through-Friday lunch hours if timing is the priority.

Safer expectation is a contemporary American fine-dining experience with confirmed Wine Spectator recognition.

That is not a weakness if the goal is a polished dinner. It is a mismatch if the group wants something more casual.
