Food and service good but it was hotter inside than outside. I asked 4 times to have them turn up the AC. Just got excuses

So glad we finally tried it! Really comfortable seating. Service was great, no complaints. Our entire party liked their meals. I'm really glad to have a good restaurant option nearby now. The polish platter, kids chicken nuggets, fries were the favorites for our group.

I really want to like this place. The family that runs it seems very nice and I am rooting for them. But the service is very poor. We've been there four times, and I just keep hoping it will get better but it doesn't. I have nicely pointed out how slow and inconsistent the service is, to no avail. Our waitress tonight had three tables, and she never checked on us after another server dropped off our meals. Heck, she didn't even look at us because I kept trying to catch her eye to flag her down. Wife had to get up and go get another server. The restaurant was not that busy and it seems like they had enough servers. The service is so bad that my wife said it must be a systemic issue. Tonight we ordered the brisket with mashed potatoes and a "homestyle vegetable salad." The brisket was less than mediocre at best. There was no homestyle vegetable salad. I asked two servers about it and they both said that the dill pickle was the vegetable salad, because "the Polish are big on pickles." Not joking. The Vault has a great beer and wine selection. If you want to go there and just have a beer and sit at the bar, it'll probably be fine. But for us, the service has been so chronically bad that I can't see us going back.

Highly disappointed. First time here and won’t be coming back. We were greeted by the bartender who had a mouth full of food- unpleasant. Server took over 15 minutes to take our drink order, and greeted a table that came well after us first. We ordered mac&cheese bites from the KIDS menu for our little guy and to our surprise, they had jalapeño in it?? When we questioned the server why a kids option contained jalapeño, he was dismissive. Food overall was average. Ambience was mediocre. The best part was when we left. 3/10.

The atmosphere is super relaxing. We were greeted and seated right away. Old fashioned was delicious and beer selection is impressive. The food was awesome. Tasted fresh and homemade. Stuffed cabbage was very well seasoned, delicate and just excellent. Tasted authentically Polish and without unnecessary ingredients. Blintzes were a perfect desert.When we visited, there was a jazz musician playing a clarinet which was what I needed on this moody, drizzly spring evening.We will be coming back for sure.

Decor is nice. TIP #1: Avoid the fish and chips. Guessing it might have been boxed frozen vandecamp fish. Really should be removed from the menu.Service was a lackluster. Really wanted to like this place. Might try it again for cocktails and a polish dog, they looked good.

The atmosphere very nice. The food was good once we got it. The service was horrible! It took an hour for our drinks to come out and they gave us the wrong drink! The food took forever. If it wasn't for a group meeting, I would have left already. They had game night which was fun but the waiting for food and drink was it for me. Even thought it was frustrating but I will give them another try to see if anything change. I do like to support the locals so I really hope they get more good servers to get things together. With good atmosphere and food, they will loose a lot of customers with the service like that.

I’m almost hesitant to recommend this place because it’s become my new go-to spot, and I’m afraid it’ll get too busy! The food and drinks here are absolutely delightful. I had one of the best Bloody Mary’s, and the Birria Cheese Steak & dip was simply amazing – so much meat and delicious juice. The Sampler platter was a mouthwatering delight, and even though we were stuffed, we couldn’t resist trying the pretzel. The atmosphere is lovely, and the girl who was bringing our orders, was very friendly and attentive.

We came here and had a great experience. Food was absolutely delicious, we loved the polish fare and the beer list was great. Exciting to see a local establishment that isn't a chain pop up in our area.

Wanted to like the place, but service was horrifically slow. Waited about 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive (1 was delivered incorrectly). About 2 minutes later, our food arrived. Food was good, no complaints there. Then, couldn't get our bill to save our lives, so we had to go to the bar to ask. On top of that, we were overcharged for the incorrectly delivered drink. Felt like the people running the place had never operated a restaurant before and were in over their heads. Oh well, we tried. Hopefully they figure it out.

I would love to give it a 5 for service but the servicers were overwhelmed. I heard they didn't expect that many people but the band had a big following causing the backlog. The food and drinks were excellent. Make sure you arrive early.

We had our holiday party at The Vault and the staff was very kind and accommodating to our needs. We had 30 people at the event. The food was great and the service was very friendly! Definitely recommend it!

Stumbled upon this place. Very good. The chicken wings are very CRISPY, definitely a must. The loaded fries are delicious and crispy. I will be reordering them. I tried a perogie and it was excellent. What was surprising for me, and I was hesitant at first, was their pickle soup. Which I highly recommend. Delicious. Their sour beer selection is great. And service is excellent. Will return.

The atmosphere perfect. Needs more servers. Jury is still out I definitely did not like the cabbage rolls taste was well no taste. Coleslaw had no taste. Do not order cabbage rolls soggy and sauce was dead. I will come back order something different. Also drinks over priced, mai tai 14$ small glass. Wow. lol
