    The steaks were great, no complaints about this and hopefully we were there for this. Nonetheless, sides were not tasty (truffle mac and cheese does not taste truffle) or too tasty (brocolies were definitely too spicy, so spicy we could not eat it). The service was fair but not as professional we could expect in a good steakhouse. Last but not least, the place was so noisy we were not able to listen or discuss to each other. The price were quite expensive when considering those drawbacks. I won't come back.

Your comments are valuable and will be taken into consideration as we continually strive to improve our guests' experiences. We hope you'll reconsider and give us another opportunity in the near future. All our best, The Vault

    We love eating here. It reminds us of old school dining. 2 of us had the Ribeye, 1 had the filet, 1 had the salmon and everyone said all the meals were delicious and cooked perfectly. The service was also incredible. Thanks. We love eating here when we are in SF.

    Only downside was the seemingly over energetic conversion about ones business trips and adolescents children.

    We all asked for medium steaks and they all came out way over done .

    Hi James, we're sorry to hear that the cook on the steaks wasn't up to par and we will share this with the team. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience.

    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.

    Hi Gregory, We are very sorry to have missed the mark on the food. If you are in the area again, please feel free to reach out anytime! All our best, The Vault
