Had an amazing experience! Live violinist made the night very special. The prime rib special was spot on! Definitely a great place for a date night or dinner with friends! Options for everyone!
We went to Vault 232 for a recent parents date night. We're also self proclaimed local foodies. We were surprised that we have this gem of a restaurant in our town. We sat at the bar for a drink and chose to stay for dinner. The bar staff were very friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was solid. Everything we tried was great! We had raw oysters, seafood hush puppies, clam chowder, the lobster and shrimp pasta, and the catch of the day (halibut) done italian style. We ended the night with the pistachio cake and apple cobbler. We'd recommend the dishes, and we intend to visit again soon.
Everything was wonderful! The service was top notch. All our meals were delish! We really enjoyed our night out.
Good location, pretty good food

Regularly go to Vault 232. Does not disappoint. Love the new menu and the different food offered. Shrimp and Lobster pasta is delicious.
Food was ok. Had the chicken vesuvio. Had to send it back due to it being very dry. The seabass dish was very good, but at $50 overpriced. Its a nice restaurant, but at the price point, there are ao many restaurants that offer more.
Great place for drinks and wonderful fish entrees. Loved the grilled calamari and we got the mussels. Would recommend both, but they do put hot giardiniera on the calamari, so be sure to ask for that on the side of you can't handle spice. My wife and I really enjoy the vibe and the thought they put in and how they remodeled the place. It's very cool to see the original bank vault.
Outstanding food, great service. We went there for brunch and for dinner. Hard to say which we liked better. Both were excellent.

The food was excellent and the service also. The menu has a focus on fish and shellfish but plenty for meat lovers too. Atmosphere nice, even though it was not very busy. The set up is quite unique with a raw bar and a fish market selling fresh produce as part of the restaurant. The bar looked inviting. We will definitely be returning. It's definitely worth a visit.
Great food and really nice restaurant theme. We sat at the high tops over by the bar area and it was really nice. We loved all of our food and it was prepared excellently. Fresh oysters on the half shell, fresh fish, pasta, and more. This is our second time coming and will not be our last. One recurring problem with this restaurant is the loud volume of the live music - much too loud to allow conversation, or easily hear our server. When we asked our server if it can be made quieter, she showed irritation and said she could ask the manager, but it won't make any difference. So I asked the manager Kevin directly, would you please consider toning down the music volume on behalf of your patrons? We would all visit more often if we could enjoy all aspects of this great restaurant. Thank you.
Absolutely loved our experience here! The food was outstanding—full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal or a special night out. The service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent dinner experience! The decor, which is set in a former bank facility, is well-done and very warm and inviting. Our pre-dinner cocktails were crafted with care and the wine we had with dinner was excellent. Food was outstanding - the bread appetizer and dips were very tasty, the lobster bisque soup was fantastic, and the fish was very fresh and can be prepared with in a number of styles (I chose Italian and it was delicious). Highly recommended!

I've been here in the past few years since it's opened and I think they finally got it right! The menu was a bit confusing at the start but it's been revamped and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We will be coming back!
