    Javier the bartender was all about service - Top notch service. He made us feel right at home. He was always watching to make sure that our needs out were met. Sam was our waitress and she was lovely. She did disappear here and there but Javier had her flank. I think they were short-staffed as Sam had made mention. All Good. I would dine here again. Oh! I had to Flat Iron Steak. Have that - comes with 3 nice sized grilled shrimp :-) Ken

    This place was amazing. When we met up with friends, plus family we all decided to have dinner together which then was like oh wow a lot of people on a Saturday night with no reservations? Uh ohhh lol. After being told 9 pm at another place, yeah let us just walk around for 4 hours until dinner with a back then 3 year old lol. We remembered seeing this place and walked over. Right away we were seated so this place saved the day. The vault was really cool looking and food was delicious. We had the best waiter who took care of us so well. It was a great end to our trip and like I said saved the day by managing to get us in with no reservations and 7 people. The waiter we had, seriously best waiter ever and we eat out all the time.

    Burger and truffle fries

    We were in the area for a hike, and stopped in Beacon for dinner. The Vault had outdoor seating, and sat us right away. Post drinks, we ordered shishito peppers (quite tasty) and roasted beets (decent) as appetizers. One of us had the angus burger with truffle fries and I had the southwestern salad with seared tuna. The salad was great though the tuna was quite bland and I regretted not ordering the chicken on top or leaving the salad without a protein. The food though was promptly brought out and the staff was efficient. The outside area was covered and it was quiet enough to talk at normal voices. One minor issue was my chair and it's relationship to the height of the table -- I had to sit on my leg to feel like I could reach my food.

    Spicy margaritas!

    Outstanding food and service! Loved the entrees and drinks. The spicy margarita was amazing and I live in the heart of Texas.

    Grand mimosa

    I love the town of beacon. So many great places to shop and eat. The vault is our new spot for brunch and what makes it more favorable is that their dog friendly. They have a great sitting area outside to enjoy, As we sat down to order, the first thing I said was "I hope they have mimosa" the waitress who was super friendly and kind must of heard me said they have a $6 brunch special for mimosas and bloody Mary's, so I went with my usual a grand mimosa. Everything on the menu, eventhough a bit pricey sounded delicious, we went ahead an started with an order of truffle fries (delicious) and their short rib grilled cheese (which was amazingly good) after my appetizers I ordered a kale ceaser with grilled shrimp. I wasn't a fan of that kale salad which came with sardines that made the salad very salty, however the shrimp was nice and fresh. Overall I enjoyed this place a lot, I'm hoping to return very soon this summer and this time I'll definitely bring my dog milo.

    This photo is all that was left when I remembered to snap a pic! I came here with some coworkers for a business dinner. We ordered several of the tapas, including the Mac n cheese, iron steak, Buffalo cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, potatoe croquets and short rib grilled cheese. The food was great! The bartender was also personable and very knowledgeable about cocktails. He asked us questions about flavors and preferred liquor and then crafted us some amazing cocktails. For dessert, I obviously had the churros ... one of my faves! This restaurant is a small space and there are maybe 7 seats at the bar top. It was quiet on the Thursday night we were there, which was great for chatting. We got lucky with this restaurant pick. The menu was reasonably priced. Unfortunately, this place closes on the earlier side, but there were plenty of other bars nearby still open to continue our night. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be sure to stop by!

    Fried cauliflower
    Krupa T.

    This place is OK, that's it. The food is extremely average. I am a vegetarian and they had some options. I ordered the fried cauliflower and Mac and cheese. The fried cauliflower was decent, not the best I've had but certainly not the worst; prob the only thing we truly enjoyed. The Mac and cheese was ... dare I say... too cheesy? The sauce was liquidy and either needed to be thicker or more noodles. My husband got the chicken tinga tacos and just from the look of it- it lacked flavor. They also have NO HOT SAUCE?? We asked and were told they could offer the buffalo sauce the cauliflower came in.... uhhh no thanks.

    This is a great addition to Beacon! Absolutely love the atmosphere and service was friendly and attentive. The menu is filled with lots of small plates which are always fun to share and allow you to taste a bunch of different things without feeling guilty! The food was not bad by any means but some dishes could have been better with a bit more flavor. But overall I would definitely come back to taste more!

    Brûlée figs
    Peter D.

    I like a lot of things about The Vault. All of the food is beautiful. In the summertime, sitting outside is fantastic. Some of the food is quite tasty (shortrib grilled cheese, crispy brussels sprouts and the brûlée figs are definitely winners). For the garlic parmesan wings, they don't mean a mere rub. They dump a ton of melty parmesan over the top of the wings. Brian, our server, knows what he's doing. He's friendly, attentive without being annoying, and made great recommendations. As good as servers get, and a credit to the whole organization. Unfortunately, there are also some things I don't love about The Vault. The food is prettier than it is tasty. There's so much emphasis on presentation that I think the cookery suffers in some cases. The scallops are gorgeous, but I'd trade the edible flowers and excellent sear for more seasoning and perhaps a fresher scallop. The salmon cake sliders could've used both salt and acid, and the salmon was overcooked and dry as well. The brûlée figs were not only stunning visually, but a tasty bite as well. Actually four tiny, tasty bites for $10, but I could've taken them all down in one. Most restaurants in Manhattan wouldn't dare serve such tiny portions for the money, and I imagine their rent is worse than The Vault's. I'll be back for more pretty plates and wine and beer in the sunshine, but I do wish all the food lived up to the promise of its presentation, and that some of the plates presented a little more value for the money.

    Cheese plate!

    Hubby and I went here on a last minute decision , and they were able to accommodate us at the bar (preferred), and we were 6 feet from others. Great cocktails, AHHHHMAZING food, and the staff was extremely pleasant. The bonus was the vault behind the bar - so fun to look at when we were there. Definitely coming back!!

    Cutoff after one drink. How insulting.  Spent close to $400 and refused a second drink.

    7 ppl. Close to $400 and cutoff asking for one second drink. Insulting. Never in my life. Obviously your not allowed to have fun here.

    With no reservations, we leisurely walked in and hostess sat us by the window. It instantly, gave us a wide view of Vault's details: dark wood floors, soft glow from hanging lamps- even during the day and exposed brick walls......come on. What also gives Vault more sazz, is the painted-over tin ceiling that just gives off nice touches of vintage and charm. All combined, the setup does it right! Even though it wasn't Brunch, I still started with a Mimosa on a lazy Monday afternoon. Settled on Stewed Mussels and Shrimp Bisque and our server, was kind enough to go to the kitchen and had cooks, retrofitting my Mussel dish without the chorizo. Thank you! Mussels in tomato-based broth were flavorful- but what really got me drooling was my Shrimp Bisque with Chili and Cilantro oils. Prices (as I remember) seemed fair and nothing was too over the top for Vault's range of menu items. There was some random slowness but our server, whose name I didn't catch, seemed on top! The afternoon here was definitely calm, cool and collected. Can I base my opinion on just a few meals? Yeah...I think so. Could I recommend anyone to check out Vault? I don't see why not. Story would be different if I had a horrible experience- which I didn't.

    The Vault is outstanding!

    This was my second visit to Sonder, a total gem in Kingston. The first visit, we tried the…read morecornichon burger with tots, and the second visit was because I was craving that burger, this time with fries. It really is incredible. Juicy and fresh, and the cornichon touch instead of pickles is perfect. Last time was the dead of winter so we were inside with the disco balls and fun table candles that are a melted concoction. It's very clean, and in the winter the walls were dark green, and this time they were light green. Because of the amazing weather we sat outside, and the waiter Remy made sure to find us a spot that was perfect for our table of two. The string lights and fans were fantastic additions, it felt transportive. We always have the best experience with the servers, and this time it was Remy who was a refreshing delight. Fresh from France, he knows the wine and helped us make the best selection. He's hilarious and real, and so fun. I love the descriptions of the wine on the menu. Give it a good read, it's very entertaining. Pair it with the burger and a glass of vino, and you're set for a great night.

    Had such a wonderful meal here. The menu is small, but every dish was so beautifully complex and…read morespecial. Every bite was a surprise, like, oh I didn't know this could taste like this. The restaurant had such a good welcoming energy, I wish this could be my local. Still dreaming about that beeet dish.
