    We actually ate at the Garden and went to Steakhouse for drinks. Eric was excellent at the Garden. Burger was delicious, drinks were good at Garden but just so so At the Steakhouse, olives were too mushy and salty, popcorn was burnt.

    I hosted my 30th birthday dinner at The Vault and EVERYTHING was excellent. It is a perfect spot for a high quality dinner and appropriate noise level to hang out with friends and still make conversation around the table. I loved it!

    Worst steak I’ve ever had. Was cooked to requested medium rare but was sooooo tough and it was a ribeye! The server didn’t even ask if there was an issue when he cleared our plates and saw a 16 ounce steak still there.
    The Vault SteakhouseResponded on 22 January 2025
    Thank you for the feedback, Renee. We're truly sorry to hear that your ribeye steak didn't meet your expectations. It's clear we missed the mark with your ribeye. We appreciate your feedback and will share this with the team. We hope you'll give us another chance to make it up to you in the future. Best Regards, The Vault

    The service at this restaurant was abysmal. We ordered drinks and received them 45 minutes later and only after asking another waitress (apparently our waitress left for the night and didn't tell anyone). The food was poorly presented and cold. I sent back my salmon as it was barely room temperature.

    Good day John, We are so sorry that we fell short on your visit and we definitely recognize that. We will address this with the team and thank you for your feedback. All our best, The Vault

    Celebrated NYE at the Vault. It was $185 prefix menu with an option to upgrade to a steak. We were told they sold out of steak after we ordered it and ordered wine to go with it. The food either had no flavor and/or was cold. The lobster bisque was water downed. The sea scallops had no flavor and the sauce was watered down with no flavor. The service wasn’t that great and should be trained for a higher end steak restaurant. The meal and atmosphere wasn’t valued at $185.
