    Overall a 10/10 experience at The Vault Garden! The food, ambience, and service were all amazing and the lunch specials were a hit with the table. It was really nice to see so many people there and the mood was very positive all around. Would highly recommend the fish and chips! Next stop the happy hour at the Vault Steakhouse!

    Since it was a Friday night there was almost no one in the restaurant. However, everything was great and I’m sure it’s much busier during the work week.

    Restaurant was essentially deserted on a Friday evening. Not sure why. Food and service were both good.
    The Vault GardenResponded on April 16, 2025
    Hi Michael! Fridays tend to be on the quieter side due to the location of being in the Financial District. But we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience! Come visit us again soon!

    This restaurant was amazing! My boyfriend and I went for Valentine’s Day, and it was the perfect date night spot. The service was incredible, and the food was amazing. I would totally recommend this place for a fun little date night spot or a place to celebrate something special.

    Overall had a great experience and meal at the vault. The heaters were the perfect temp. I chose the restaurant based on location near the Jay hotel and menu offerings. The crab dip was fantastic. The fried brussel sprouts were a bit burned. The risotto had great texture but I wasn't a fan of the mushrooms but that was personal taste. Overall a pleasant experience. Will try the Vault steak house next time in the city.

    Hi Neighbor! Thank you so much for the feedback! Come visit us again in the steakhouse next time! Cheers!
