What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
VAULT is lauded for its exceptional ambiance, truly unique setting within a historic bank, and impeccable service from a highly attentive staff. Diners rave about the flavorful modern American dishes and generous portions, making it a top choice for special occasions. While some found desserts and cocktails to be less impressive, the overall experience, particularly the private dining vault and upstairs lounge with live music, makes it a memorable destination.
"5 stars ++ Ambiance was perfect for a date night. Danielle our server was exceptional. She made sure food restrictions were accommodated and she even had the kitchen bake a fresh loaf of gluten free bread. Which was so delicious. Beautifully decorated and the bartender is extremely talented at making off menu cocktails. Our Jr waiter and waitress were also very observant and attentive. We NEVER had our drinks below 1/2 a glass. The food was full of flavor and the portions were large. Photos below with descriptions of our meals. Come hungry sit back and enjoy a delicious meal along with fantastic staff."

"It was my third time to have dinner at the vault, but my wife’s first time there. (I’ve been wanting to take her there for years)—and as before, it never disappoints. Food was fantastic and service (ask for Scott) was great! Love the atmosphere as well. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a special evening out that’s a “step above” what you’re used to. We’ll be back for more! Thank you!"

"This place is all about the ambiance. Great servers who will go out of their way to make you happy. I got dessert and cocktails here but both were just mediocre. Frozen desert and overly sugary cocktails.
The real fun is upstairs where they had live music in their lounge. The musician was playing piano and acoustic guitar.
Also the bathroom was really nice."
