    The prix fix lunch choices were really good. Both of us ordered the tuna salad nicoise. I was happy with how my tuna was seared, my lunch companion would have preferred a harder sear, maybe we could be asked upon ordering. I don't give 5 stars because there should always be room for improvement. I specifically chose this restaurant because of the minimal/moderate noise level. You can have a good conversation without having to compete with nearby guest tables. The wait staff and host were all very nice and attentive.

    Thank you so much for the kind words Lillian! Come visit us again soon!

    Solid Business lunch option. My guest were running late but the servers took care of me / gave ma space until I was ready to engage. Food was reasonably priced and of good quality.

    The staff at The Vault are incredibly attentive and welcoming. The food is outstanding, with every dish showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients. The lunch special offers exceptional value without compromising on taste or portion size. The location is also ideal for meetings in the financial district. A top-notch spot overall!

    The vibe was festive and the wait staff were a joy. The food was tasty but at $95 for a small salad, risotto and a small dessert, it was overpriced.

    We went to The Vault Garden for Christmas Eve. We enjoyed the special fixed prix menu, the view of the Christmas tree outdoors and the specialty cocktails were yummy. My only complaint is that the table was cleared before our last guest was finished with their main course (a MAJOR dining faux pas in my book) and dessert and the check were given to us immediately after he was finished. We weren’t asked if we’d like an after dinner drink or coffee and were completely rushed out. It definitely didn’t give us a warm and fuzzy Christmas Eve vibe!
