    The food is excellent, and the ambience is warm and intimate. However, our server was very unfriendly. She seemed rushed and irritate and only smiled when she brought our check. This is now the third time we’ve been there and each time we’ve had this very irritable server. It is really unfortunate'.

    Alex was my waiter, and he was excellent. I will request him for my future reservations. Also, the food cost was worth the value.

    We dine at The Vault on a regular basis. Service, food, and drinks are always top notch. Highly recommend the Brisket Burger, Sirloin Steak dinner, Cod or Salmon dinners… everything is fabulous!

    Had an amazing time—the food quality was excellent, and the ambiance was fantastic. The only downside was that our waitress didn’t acknowledge that we were celebrating our birthdays, and no special treat was offered. I even added a note about it in our reservation on OpenTable, so it was disappointing that it wasn’t recognized. A little acknowledgment would have made the experience even more special.

    We sat down and immediately told us we were on a time limit. We did not order food right away and again told us we had to be out at a certain time. Meanwhile they had four open tables with in view for the entirety of our stay. Too many other places in town to have this type of service with a limited menu

    The food was good. But our server was really abrasive and borderline rude with our requests that were very typical. Very chatty about odd topics and didnt really catch the social ques that we didnt want to chat with him. It was a little uncomfy.

    We had a reservation and were seated right away near the fireplace. The seats were comfy for kicking back but not for sitting up to eat. My wife, who is short, had to sit on the edge of the chair to be up enough to eat. Her steak was really good. My chicken pasta not really great. It was a bit salty and just average pasta sauce. The chicken was a smaller portion that was grilled. It was okay. Nothing I would order again.

    Dinner and drinks ran about $53 per person but everything was really good. I made a reservation just after they opened but by the time we left the whole bistro was completely full. I'll definitely visit again if I'm in the area

    Drinks expertly made from well-stocked bar, good choice of menu items. The BEST Creme Brulee I've found west of New Orleans! This is a popular spot, so reservations are necessary. Enjoy!
