The food and service is always great. My only complaint is that temperature of the restaurant is way too warm for us. It’s hard to enjoy your meal when you’re melting. 🫠

This was my first time dining at The Vault and I loved it! The ambience was beautiful and elegant yet relaxed. The menu was extensive with so many delicious options and service was spectacular. After dinner I enjoyed a few more drinks in the Cigar lounge and the service was just a good. I will definitely be coming back !

About the restaurant

T2D Concepts, the purpose-driven hospitality group led by chef Tiffany Derry and Tom Foley, has cooked up its latest concept, Radici Wood-Fired Grill. Meaning “roots” in Italian, Radici draws inspiration from Tiffany's early experiences in Italian restaurants, Tom's maternal heritage, and both Tiffany and Tom's travels through Italy. The menu changes based on seasonal availability and centers around meats and vegetables prepared in a wood-fired grill and a selection of fresh pastas made daily.

From the moment I walked into Radici, I knew this was going to be something special, but I could never have imagined just how unforgettable the experience would be. Everything—from the drinks to the food to the service—was beyond top-notch. The attention to detail and the quality of every single element was extraordinary. What truly set this apart was being in close proximity to the chef and owner. Their passion, creativity, and genuine warmth transformed an incredible meal into something absolutely magical. You can feel the love and craftsmanship in every bite, every sip, and every interaction. This is, without question, my favorite restaurant, and I’m already planning to be a regular. I can’t wait to come back and relive this one-of-a-kind dining experience. Radici is an absolute gem. Do yourself a favor—go.
