    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.

    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!

    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!
