We had a delightful dinner at the Vault. Our waiter was charming and well educated on the menu. I ordered two apps for dinner. I ordered the tenderloin drenched is a wonderful sauce with blue cheese crumbles. The tenderloin melted in my mouth. Delicious! I also ordered the HUGE pretzel. I have to say this pretzel was bigger than my head. It was crunchy on the outside with ooey gooey goodness on the inside. I highly recommend the Vault!

We chose the Vault for a pre symphony dinner based on our prior experience and we were not disappointed. We were seated promptly and our server London was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We explained that we were going to the Symphony and she expedited our order but we were not rushed. My wife’s salmon and my bluegill fillets were perfectly cooked. We are sure to return.

Most of the food was good to very good. A steak ordered medium rare was way too done - more like well done. Steak is too expensive to not have it prepared properly. $10 was deducted, but would rather have a steak prepared properly. Drinks from the bar were very slow. Waitress was very pleasant and provided good service.
