Excellent service. Nice variety and quality of both the cocktail and food menu. We sat outside with a group of six and had a great night.

Food was excellent like always. Very relaxing atmosphere and non rush. Service was on point.

It was a bummer. We went for our anniversary. We put in our orders then were told there was a fire in the kitchen so they couldnt make our food but could make oir drinks. We passwd and ended up with a subpar dinner at an other restaurant. This was probably not the visit you wanted me to review.

Our main entres and our server were top notch!!!! The reason I gave 3 stars was because when we walked in the front door and stood at the hostess stand, the hostess didn't make eye contact with us for several minutes, didn't say “I'll be with you shortly” and appeared to be chatting with someone about a job position possibly. Not positive what they were talking about, but in a restaurant of this caliber the hostess should at least be able to acknowledge that you're there. It felt really awkward until the server finally came up to greet us. And again, our server was amazing! The other issue was the appetizer. We ordered the brussel sprouts like we normally do and what came out was nothing like what we've had. We haven't been here for a year or 2 so maybe the recipe changed. But they were way overcooked and mushy almost like the ones I grew up hating. They had zero flavor. There was parm and bacon on them and they still tasted flavorless. Also, our meal took a really long time to come out, which I don't recall happening in the past. Once we got them they were amazing! Sea Bass was incredible!!! Their desserts are also delicious and never disappoint.

Great staff. Food was great! I requested a romantic note for my sweetheart for the special dinner we were going to enjoy and they left a great little note at our reserved table. So sweet. Thank you guys! That was a great first experience at Vault 244.

Love Vault 244--our experiences here have always been positive. Alex was superb as our server--great sense of humor and perfectly attentive--there often enough to make sure all was well, but not so often as to be intrusive. Appetizers, cocktails, and mains were delicious, as usual. I did feel bad for the table next to us when they were told the table would be needed in about 3 or 4 minutes. While they were close to wrapping up, it seemed, there must be something Vault 244 can do in terms of their reservations so that guests don't have to feel like they're being pushed out so a table can be used for another party. According to reviews, what we saw with the table next to us yesterday wasn't unique. Could chase good customers away.

Great server and great drinks! We celebrated a college graduation and it was perfect for that. It's a bit loud but if you like that, it's fun. Otherwise there is seating outside.

It took an hour to receive our food. The steak was delicious but the potatoes were cold. They did bring us new hot potatoes, but they needed a ton of salt for some flavor.

This place was exceptional!Last night I had one of thee best meals Ive ever had in my life.
The staff was smiling and talkative/ friendly but the chef.. whomever was cooking last night was cooking with love and really knows how to execute food flawlessly.
I was very Impressed that it was affordable too! I'm making this place a monthly stop.
You know it has to be good when you have dreams that night about eating your dinner again!
Bravo 👌👏🙌

Outdoor dining was sublime. Quiet, tree-lined and well lit. Service was thin however. Pouring my own wine... I'm a service snob Nd it didn't seem that everyone was “heads-up.” Get that wine list on the table first thing!! I'm carrying a travel box, I'm ready to buy one as have you open one of mine. And boost gratuity! Though we referenced a special occasion, the note was not remarked upon. As a career hospitality guy, if someone announces and takes time to pen a note, I respond in spades. Missed opportunity to wow us. Food was tasty and well presented. Some ingredient choices I question... “Pommes Frites can't be coated/phantom fries. Please no shaved parm on the frites, use grated. Ordered two salads - Cesar and the rotated beet. Both were over-dressed by 200%+ More beets!! Get Boquerones for the Cesar and more larger croutons and parm. We will return. Happy to have found you!

Great first time dining at Vault 244, and I can't wait to go again! The sea bass was *chefs kiss* amazing, and my husband loved his New York strip!

Charity

We always love dining at The Vault! Service, ambience, food quality always spot on; however, it's been quite some time since any new menu items have shown up and we wonder what the difficulty is in switching things up perhaps in a seasonal-type fashion? Otherwise, we love this place! Big hugs to Tonya and Valerie for taking good care of us and making our dining experience all that more special...thank you!

It's a decent spot. Slightly expensive for the quality of food. The bartenders were friendly and helpful, and the servers seemed attentive. I ordered a medium steak and got medium rare which was probably my biggest dislike. The potatoes were kind of bland as well. The drinks were good and they have a good alcohol selection.

First time here. Good food. Good service. Try the bread pudding.

We've been coming for years. Great cocktails and bartender service. The server was very nice and helpful. The food over the years for us has become just good. I miss the more elegant/fancy feel of the food and ambiance of the place from several years ago. Definitely still recommend going and hanging out.
