Wandered into the vault early on a Wednesday. Our bartender Bria was incredibly gracious, hospitable, and friendly. While I cannot attest to late night rush service, at this time, it was outstanding. The atmosphere is good. Nice music, clean, and attractive.I ordered a few appetizers, and the food was excellent. The happy hour tacos and kaboom shrimp were perfect and well served.Now for the most important part. The hookah. They serve Ayala tobacco, quite nice, and are personable and pack it well. The service makes a big difference, attentive and friendly and open to feedback. They use Mya hookahs, the small pumpkin style ones, which are not my favorite. But in the cool of the bar, with ice in the base, it smoked quite well. All in all, an excellent hookah for a more “bar/nightclub” environment that I will definitely return for!

So I absolutely love this space. It was my first time being here but it won’t be my last. The owner is a very down to earth guy. The manager Lisa was also very personable and came to speak with us which goes to show you they care. Bella was our server, from beginning to end she made sure we were good. This venue has 3 floors. All different but so beautiful.

I’ve given The Vault more chances than I should’ve — at least five visits, and each one has been a letdown. I tried to be patient early on since it’s a newer spot, but the problems are clearly deeper than growing pains.Service is painfully slow — it takes 45 minutes just to be greeted or have your order taken, and over 2.5 hours for a hookah to arrive. That’s not a rare occurrence, that’s the norm.The food? The fastest part of the experience — and easily the worst. Mediocre, flavorless, and overpriced. I made the mistake of ordering the Caesar salad, and the dressing literally tasted like straight mayonnaise. Nothing redeeming about it.What’s most frustrating is that the staff seems more focused on filming guests for marketing content than actually serving them. It’s all about the aesthetic and Instagram reels, not the customer experience.The place looks good on camera, but don’t be fooled — this is one of the most consistently disappointing restaurants I’ve ever been to. There are too many other places that value their customers and deliver real quality.

The VaultA Stylish Spot with Room to GrowThe Vault is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of downtown. I arrived around 6 PM and was greeted by security, who politely conducted a quick search. After checking in with the host, I chose to sit at the bar.I started with an Old Fashioned, masterfully prepared by the waitress Ashley—easily one of the highlights of the evening. For food, I ordered the chili wings and salmon tacos. The tacos, though slightly salty, were still enjoyable. The wings were just okay—nothing particularly special, but decent.The decor is impressive—modern, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. However, the service could use some sharpening. Several staff members were visibly on their phones and lacked attentiveness, with minimal eye contact and not one check-in.Despite these shortcomings, I’d still return to The Vault, especially to explore the rooftop on a different night. There’s potential here, and I’m rooting for them to step up their game.Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!

Went here for a birthday dinner. Prices were okay, service was good, and the good was surprisingly delicious! Drinks were a little pricey and the quality did not match but the ambiance made up for what the drinks were lacking. Didn't go upstairs or experience the rooftop but had a good time.
