She was EXTREMELY attentive and ensured my son's safety with his nut allergies. Moreover, she made great recommendations which in my case resulted in the most amazing shrimp pasta.

The location is great, the restaurant is classy and very popular with the locals who are greeted with warmth when they enter. ***SUPER STRONG AND ENTHUSIASTIC RECOMMENDATION -- be smart and ask Amy for recommendations, you won't regret it!*** I only wish she would open another Vault in SoCal!!

Next time we go on a road trip that way.

We started off with the Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip which was fantastic ...and it got better from there! My main course was the Montreal Style Smoked Meat Sandwich - also an excellent choice! We ended up visiting 2 more times for dinner and once for breakfast - every item we sampled was a hit ..and we tried a variety of items (see photos). The busiest day was a Thursday when we stopped in for a late breakfast and the service & quality of the food was just as consistently outstanding as our previous visits. We also really liked the vibe - dark wood & cool lighting! This is a definitely a top-notch pub/grill - highly recommended!

It's a nice restaurant, with a view of the water along one side. it's comfy inside, with tables and booths. The service was prompt, friendly and courteous. The waitress knew the menu, and was able to advise us on deserts, etc. I ordered a salad with chicken, and it came with a little cornbread - and the waitress warned me that it had a slight kick... but it wasn't bad. You know what? She was right! I would order this again. Other things on the menu that were enticing: quiche! I can hardly wait to go back and try this! Hopefully next time, we'll be able to sit outside an enjoy the view, which we could not see very well from our comfy booth.

For a Wednesday afternoon, the place was hopping. We decided to eat on the bar side where there was a fan moving fast to cool us down. It was quiet but filled up right after we got there. It was ripping hot and my wife and I appreciated the fan but a table of golden agers asked them to turn the fan down, which they did. I was impressed with their responsiveness to the customers. The food overall was really good. I had the G & G burger that was awesome - burger was perfect, fries were crispy, homemade gravy.... nothing to smack talk about. My wife had the beet and chicken salad, which was good but the chicken was a little dry. Aside from that, the place was clean, the bathrooms were spotless, and overall great lunch. We would definitely go back.

We asked, and they've only been open two weeks! It's a lovely English style pub with tin-looking walls and dark furniture - everything is new and tidy. There are booths to sit at, a long bar, and high tables near the window, so there are some nice seating options. We tried the cream of carrot and ginger (soup of the day) and it was outstanding. I tried the sandwich of the day, a roast chicken with caramelized onions on 'mediterranean' bread, which was a simple white bread with some bits of kalamata olives in it, I think. I had an option of fries, salad, or potato salad, and went for the salad, which was a pile of lovely fresh greens with a creamy balsamic on top. Another of us had the chicken leek casserole which was huge and tasty. With some tricky to find imports on tap like Newcastle brown and Old Speckled Hen, we really felt like we'd stumbled into a nice example of a UK pub in Brockville. They have a bunch of premium and imported options for beer on tap plus a reasonable wine list. Worth a stop!
