Super good food in a cool former bank. Food quality is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. The drinks were tasty, and shaken right at the table. This is the Dave Matthews Band of restaurants.

The Vault in Houlton truly offers a fine dining experience that is second to none. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that attention to detail is a priority here. Our reservation was promptly honored, and we were greeted with a beautifully set table, complete with an elegant touch—a fresh rose adding to the ambiance.
We began with the spinach bacon artichoke dip, a perfect start that was both rich and savory. The combination of flavors was expertly balanced, and the dip was served piping hot, accompanied by crispy tortilla chips. The light crunch of the chips paired beautifully with the creamy, flavorful dip, making it an appetizer that set the tone for the culinary indulgence to come.
For our main course, we chose the chicken pad Thai and the pear-ginger glazed salmon. The pad Thai was an exceptional blend of authentic flavors—tender chicken, perfectly cooked noodles, and a subtle hint of spice. It was evident that care was taken to craft each element of this dish. The salmon was a true highlight of the evening, cooked to perfection with a delicate glaze that brought out the natural sweetness of the fish. The pear and ginger combination added a refreshing and gourmet twist, making every bite memorable.
What truly elevates The Vault is the commitment to supporting local producers. Their extensive selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, featuring local options, is something we greatly appreciated. It’s refreshing to see a restaurant so invested in celebrating the flavors of the region.
The prices, considering the quality of food, the ambiance, and the attentive service, were entirely reasonable. Dining at The Vault felt like a true gourmet experience without the steep price tag often associated with such high-caliber meals. We will certainly be back to enjoy another unforgettable evening.

Fantastic time. Got to sit with my son in a real vault and eat an amazing dinner. Service was very friendly. What a great find in Houlton, Maine! Oh, the brussels sprouts are amazing.

I would recommend this restaurant but ….Make sure you have a reservation, got there after 7 pm and there were 3 groups there. A table for 4 had 2 and the vault had people. We were 4 adults and a baby, 2 tables for 2 were empty, waited for 10-15 minutes before someone came over and asked if we had a reservation, we said no and she said she had nothing….we can’t serve you without a reservation.
I can’t change recommendation as it won’t allow me to …..it is a good place to get a higher end meal

I have experienced the vault on several occasions... All exceptional. The chef is truly a culinary artist...the dishes his/her masterpieces! No hyperbole, folks!

My husband and I went to The Vault last week. It wasn’t a great experience. Service was extremely slow considering there were only 8 other customers present. Our waitress brought my husband’s meal (another waitress brought mine) and we never saw her again until it was time to pay. She never came back to the table to see if we needed drink refills or anything else. The food was nothing special and the prices were very high. Husband ordered steak medium rare and it came medium well. Mashed potatoes were gummy. Let’s just say, that was our one and only visit.
Awesome healthy chicken bowl, yummy burger with exceptional fries, tasty nachos! Loved it. Eat in the actual vault. So cool!

The Vault was a great choice for a pretty fancy dinner in Houlton.The space is lovely. The food was good, and the service was decent. Our waitress was spread a little thin, but her service was great.Definitely the best food in Houlton.
