    Great experience. Sat at the bar, had a few cocktails. Ordered dinner and had a great glass wine. Great service, not pushy staff at all. Bartender was very nice. Steak was fabulous.

    Food and service were a ten! Our server Dottie was amazing and both the food and cocktails were delicious. Do not skip dessert and their dessert cocktails - the Carajillo is my favorite. Definitely coming back.

    Great servers and staff. Excellent appetizers and cocktails. The NY steak we had was perfectly cooked yet very chewy and the worst steak we’ve ever had at a restaurant. Very disappointing.

    The room is intimate and luxe. Service is very good. Dotty was our server. She was fabulous. The cocktails are creative and were excellent. We shared a table side prepared caesar salad. It was enough for the two of us and it was delicious. The gentleman who prepared it was quite good at his job. We were able to choose what we wanted in our salad. Love it! One of us had a NY steak and the other had the whole branzino. Both were high quality pieces of protein and they were prepared perfectly. We shared the broccoli, which was tasty, as well. Didn't have room for dessert, but they looked quite good. We live in the area and will definitely be back!
    The Vault SteakhouseResponded on April 23, 2025
    Hi Jim, Thank you so much for the positive feedback - we will share this with Dotty and the team. Looking forward to welcome you back the next time!
