    Booked the Rez based on an IG post. Venue is nice, low key elegance like you wouldn’t feel out of place dressed semi casual , piano player on site nice touch. The service was excellent. I recommend for the steak, as the sirloin and hamburger were excellently cooked. The French onion soup was tasty but had alot of mushrooms in it and very little onions and croutons. The braised short ribs, brussel sprouts, and mushroom gratin sides were only ok. The truffle Mac and Cheese were a little aldente for our taste. The dessert menu was not inspiring either.

    My boyfriend and I made a reservation after seeing them in Instagram. Loved the live piano music but we were sat very close to it so it was difficult to talk. The service took a while. If we go back we will probably just got for drinks and apps. We loved the oysters, rolls, and they had a variety of dips. The steak was nice but we were not overwhelmed.

    The food was great and so was the service. We liked how our food was spaced out between courses. We definitely will be back.

    Had an almost private room for our party of 10. Great service. Everyone loved their dinners. It’s not inexpensive but a wonderful splurge for our family’s Christmas and birthdays celebration.

    Very slow service for dinner at a table in the piano bar. 20+ mins to get first drink after being seated - food came out very slow. Ordered the filet medium - it was served bleeding red. When asked about gluten ingredients in one of the side dishes - took 20min to let us know after it was served. Very nice people, but no real sense of urgency. This was our second time at the Vault - disappointed with this visit.

    Hi Vince, We thank you for your feedback and I am so sorry about your experience. We definitely did fall short that day with your visit. Please feel free to reach out to me on your next visit. We would love to make this right. All our best, The Vault
