    We came here for lunch and were seated on the outdoor patio, which was comfortable thanks to the heat lamps. Service started off fine, but we were surprised by how inflexible the kitchen was with even very simple requests. For example, we wanted the seafood tower but were told it wasn't available due to no mussels--and they couldn't substitute with extra oysters or shrimp. Even small swaps, like grilled onions instead of raw onions on a burger, weren't possible. The appetizers were the highlight of the meal. The lobster dip was flavorful, and the chips were perfectly thick and crispy. The oysters were fresh and already sauced, and the shrimp cocktail featured large, fresh shrimp. The Brussels sprouts were cooked well and nicely balanced with pomegranate. Unfortunately, the mains fell short. Everyone who ordered the steak frites requested medium rare, but all of them came out well done. One was so overcooked and chewy that it had to be sent back. The mushroom risotto was very tasty, but extremely mushroom-forward--great for mushroom lovers, but probably not for everyone. (The side steak pictured on top of the risotto was actually cooked perfectly.) The burger had a double patty and was fine, but fairly standard. Overall, while the appetizers were strong, the lack of flexibility and inconsistent execution on the mains made the experience disappointing, especially for the price point. I'd try another place before coming back again.

    Foccacia + Starter from the course lunch meal: Butternut Squash Bisque

    Made lunch reservations here to enjoy all the Christmas decorations. It's in an outdoor covered area with plenty of heating inside so it's super cozy with all the decor. We started the meal off with the foccacia, which was perfectly toasted and came with whipped ricotta and olive oil to dip. A wonderful appetizer! I went with the lunch coursed meal: Butternut Squash bisque (so creamy and flavorful. warms you right up) and the Porcini Mushroom Risotto (cooked so well and had plenty of mushrooms to complement the rice). My husband had the steak frites, which honestly were nothing special. The steak was a bit dry since there was minimal sauce and came with crispy fries. Cute date night spot and the ambience was perfect! The staff were so attentive and checked up on us throughout the meal.

    Butternut squash soup - light and creamy - perfect appetizer and not too filling!

    I've had two client lunches here and both experiences were lovely. The first time it was raining so they moved us inside to the steakhouse which was very elegant. The second time was outside under their covered patio -- they offered us blankets if we got cold but I'd recommend people dress warmly regardless! Service was incredible attentive. We've also hosted a larger group gathering here of 18 people for happy hour. Food was great. I've gotten the Cobb salad, butternut squash soup, and mushroom risotto and they are all great. Would recommend for a client lunch or dinner!

    Had seen the burger advertised too many times across instagram I had to come and try for myself. Such a cute dining area- nearly feels like New York or something eating half- outside (with heaters so don't worry it is cosy) Little bit more upscale of a dinner so a good excuse to dress up a little. Got the burger (obviously) And it was great- nicely made, pretty rich and saucy, with the burger cooked medium just the way i like it with a little pink in the middle. I am not usually a fries girl but there was something about their fries I couldn't stop eating them, yum yum yum. Really filling also, was so full after the burger and (most) of the fries. The drinks here are great also- expertly crafted and delicious. Felt like we were the girls in sex and the city or something for a night on the town. Just good vibes, decor, friendly staff and good food and drinks.

    Stopped in to check out the holiday drinks and have some bites. The decor is festive and it was nice and warm in the covered garden area. We got a couple cocktails and appetizers. The apps were simple and delish. The drinks were pretty well balanced and loved the festive theme with the names of cocktails and glasses. It wasn't busy when we arrived and got seated right away. Heat lamps above the tables kept us extra warm.

    Restaurant Week Spring '25 menu!

    I have been wanting to try The Vault Garden after my coworker recommended it. It happens to be SF Restaurant Week (RW), so I thought this would be the perfect time to try their lunch menu. The Vault Garden is located outside on the street level of the BofA building in the FiDi. I believe there's a separate entrance for the Steakhouse, so if you're there, go up California and up the steps to the plaza. Go towards the entrance of the building and hang a left to get to the Garden. It's a nice semi outdoor space that has plenty of heating for those cold days. And it's a beautiful space! The lounge area has comfy couches and chairs where you can get drinks and light bites for happy hour. The tables are further down for dining. Lots of greenery in both areas. From their RW menu, I got the Caesar salad and fish & chips. I also added the lemon posset for dessert, which is extra. The Caesar salad was so good! The romaine lettuce was fresh, crispy, and tender. The dressing was bright and the croutons gave it an extra crunch. And it came with plenty of shaved Parmesan. I could have had 2 plates of that. It's simple yet so good! The fish and chips were delicious, too! I thought the portion was perfect. It comes with one large beer battered rock fish on a bed of crispy fries and fried herbs. You also get a trio of sauces: malt vinegar, remoulade, and ketchup. The fish was plump and flaky. The batter was crunch and thin. And the fries were very crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And I don't know how else to describe it, but the fries were meaty. They had a good bite to them. I think that happens when the potatoes are blanched in cold water.. I forget the science behind it but they were yummy and I loved all the textures. And the lemon posset was silky and tart. A great way to end the meal. Service was really friendly. The gentleman who took my order and I chatted about our dogs. Which, btw, dogs are allowed. Mine was in a stroller, but I assume any well-behaved dog is allowed in since it is an outdoor space. The RW menu is the same as their express lunch menu, so service time is approximately 45mins. Though, the food is so good that I would take my time. I would love to come back to try more dishes from their regular menu and to get a drink as well.

    My colleague and I stopped in for a quick bite at The Vault. I love the Vault during the holidays. It is always so beautiful. We ordered the Krumpus is Coming and baaaaaaaby it was strong and delicious! Chris our server was amazing. We order some fries and mac n cheese and it was delightful. I definitely plan to circle back with more friends.

    The Vault Burger, Mushroom Gratin
    Miranda L.

    Made a reservation around a week ahead for 5 pm on a weekday and we were able to get seated a little early. My friend and I were looking for cozy bar restaurants with nice decor so we decided to check them out. The seating is under this clear tent area but pretty cozy and warm from the heat lamps. Mushroom Gratin - I love mushrooms and have never tried when a gratin is made with something besides potato but I enjoyed the crunch of the breadcrumbs to the chewy and different textures of the mushroom. It had some hints of garlic flavor but it was overall a little bland. The Vault Burger - The burger was pretty standard with the double patty, cheddar, lettuce and brioche buns and the fries were nice thick cut ones. It didn't stand out for 21 dollars so personally we found it slightly underwhelming. Overall, the service was decent but a little slow when the restaurant got busy and the dishes we had felt overpriced. The ambiance and decor is pretty fun to check out especially during the holidays though.

    Came here in December of 2024 for our holiday work dinner and what a beautiful spot! There were heaters outside, staff was friendly and our food was tasty! My boyfriend and I each got the prime rib which was huge! We definitely had leftovers which I used to make fried rice haha A coworker of mine got the grilled salmon. Would definitely come back here!

    Cute little "patio" spot. Lot of heaters if you get cold and it's blocked off so it's not windy. Decent drinks and small menu so simple eats! - sides are kind of hefty so we did order just sides for 2 of us haha Easy to get reservations and friendly service. Thank you!

    12/7 It's the time of year for anything and everything festive. The holidays are not just about gift giving, but it is also the time of year to spend it with your loved ones. Where: The Vault and The Vault Garden can be found at the Bank of America building on Kearny and Pine streets. While not exactly inside the building itself, The Vault Garden is located on the exterior of the building while the main restaurant, The Vault is located inside the concourse level. When: The Vault Garden is a casual spot for happy hour and shareable bites. Usually not open during the weekend, this holiday season, dubbed as Winter Wonderland, lunch and holiday themed cocktails can be enjoyed here. Reservations are recommended. We came here looking for some festive holiday vibes. What: while not overly dressed or indulged with Christmas cheer, The Vault Garden's Winter Wonderland manages to pull off some holiday cheer with eye catching drinks. What we shared: Creamed corn: this was not just any creamed corn, but that the toppings were pop corn and bread crumbs for a nice crunch. This was surprisingly good. Truffle Mac & Cheese: pasta shells tossed in cheesy truffle sauce - I could have easily ordered a second of this and called it a meal. Delicious. Truffle Fries: pillowy interior and crisp exterior coated in a truffle oil. The perfect amount of salt for this fried bite. Parker House rolls: hot and fresh springy buns paired with a salty whipped butter. These were a table favorite with a second heaping ordered. Beef Bolognese: pasta cooked andante served with burrata cheese. This was good overall, but that I liked the truffle mac and cheese more. Short Ribs: slow braised and served with sweet potatoes. Ginger and soy were the prominent flavors, leaning more with an Asian twist. Super tender and yummy. Beignets: these French doughnuts were not only light but also the perfect small sweet treat. What we drank: we tried majority of the Christmas aesthetic based drinks which included all the spices and props. Each drink is titled after the verses of a Christmas song. We were so glad to have enjoyed some festive drinks. How: our server was such a sweet heart and made our lunch even more festive by providing some gingerbread men and women props. We all enjoyed our meal here and will happily return.

    The holiday bar set up is amazing. Super fun drinks and festive decor. The Hans Gruber and Scut Farkus were both delicious

    Beautiful hidden gem for light bites and a vibrant atmosphere. The service was excellent from start to finish. I ordered the english pea risotto and took my server's recommendation to pair it with the Sancerre. Together, the flavors worked together to balance the weight of the sauce with the brightness of the wine. There is a variety of seating from traditional tables, to lounge seating, as well as bar seating. It is outdoors on the plaza level but there are plenty of heaters. Tip: They validate parking ($17 dollars for the garage after validation) Overall, i'll be back again to try the seasonal cocktails

    The Vault Garden Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Vault Garden

    The first review that comes up when I search "dog friendly" clearly states that you cancelled her reservation because you only allow service animals, yet other reviews say you allow dogs. Please clarify, do you allow non-service dogs to dine here?

    Hello. Thank you for your question. As much as we love our four-legged family members, only designated service animals are permitted to dine with us at The Vault Garden.

    Do they have happy hour--if so what times? Is it in the steakhouse as well as the garden?

    We currently offer Happy Hour at The Vault Steakhouse Tue-Sat from 4-6pm.

    Do you accommodate for food allergies? And do you allow dogs?

    Your server can work with you to provide recommendations and modifications to certain menu items to accommodate food allergies. Yes, we allow dogs at The Vault Garden.

    Is brunch offered? What days do they usually have brunch?

    While we don't offer brunch, The Vault Garden is open on Saturdays at 11:30am serving our lunch menu. We occasionally run an egg special during Saturday lunch service. Thank you.

    Is there a dress code for dinner?

    Do you require proof of vaccination for COVID 19?

    No, they did not ask to see proof of vaccination. Technically it's outdoors so I don't think they need to.

    Is it a baby friendly for restaurant week? Thanks!

    When I called and asked, the woman on the phone said children are allowed. She also said they would not charge the $65/person for the children and offered that they could instead give them some sort of pasta dish and just charge for that.

    Does Vault have corkage?

    HI Eve, We do have corkage. It is $35 a bottle.… 

    Are dogs allowed outside on the patio?

    When we were there for brunch this past Sunday 10/18, I noticed the hostess seat a couple that had a dog with them.

    How are the tables arranged in the outdoor seating during COVID? Is there also covering for outdoor seating? (it's common for SF to be foggy and windy).

    There are coverings and awnings, very well spaced, plus heaters. There is wind but, hey it's San Francisco. We've eaten there a few times and always thinking of when to go back. The staff gets it, so if you have an issue, just ask or call in advance.

    Is this a vegetarian friendly restaurant?

    They do have vegetarian options

I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

This place has so much going on. It makes it ideal for so many different things. Hot day? Want to bring your doggie?? They have an airy patio and a bunch of cute tables out front. The patio is covered so when it rains, it's also ideal. Feeling bougie? Order some oysters and a glass of one of their fancy cocktails. Handicapp or have kiddos? They got you covered. Need a cool place for a dinner date? There's tables inside. Have a group? Also not a problem. Feeling peckish and just need to get out of the house? Go sit at the bar, order a beer, and watch the game. Make sure to order the thrasher fries with malt vinegar salt and pepper and Dijon and black pepper aïoli. It is truly as delectable as it sounds, and by far my favorite thing there! That being said, I am a french fry aficionado. We also tried the coconut chicken sandwich which I found to be a bit different than a lot of standard fried chicken sandwiches. I did ask for the chili sauce on the side because I don't like it to be too sweet. Boyfriend loved it with the chili sauce. I liked it without. I did order a side of aïoli. Another thing I found really nice was that they use the chicken thigh rather than the breast. Most of the fried chicken sandwiches I've had use the breast and this was a very nice change. The chicken was juicy and the sandwich was super tasty. They offer all sorts of tasty delights, like fish tacos, mochicko chicken bites, mac & cheese with or without bacon and crab! Yum. If I was to make one recommendation, it would be to add another salad to the menu. Your menu offers a wonderful variety of delicious treats that are on the richer and heavier side so having another option for something on the lighter side would be fantastic. The service here was outstanding. We came early on a Tuesday, and the bartender was great. She was very helpful and excellent at her craft.

We ended the night with Laura closing us out, and her service was just as exceptional. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, everything was 10/10. If you're looking for superb cocktails, creative flavors, and fantastic service, PCH is definitely a place you need to check out!

    Super cute bar in SF! Went here at night with friends. The decor is kinda crazy but fits with the…read morename of the restaurant. Was really impressed with the design of the menu! There's plenty of tables and seats inside! All the drinks were great and strong. We tried the Sacred Valley which was fun! Definitely had a fruity taste, followed by a strong vodka aftertaste. They provided water and lemonade for those of us who didn't want to drink. They also had special branded cups, which was a nice touch!

This is a gorgeous spot; the detail from the welcoming greens sign, to the cozy lighting, tasteful religious kitsch, and well thought out style, we had a wonderful visit. The decor made us explore the bar before we sat down; they have tables and different seating areas around, but it seemed like the bar was the place to be. They have a full selection of liquor, plus a cocktail menu, and killer tap list of mostly local draft beer. I absolutely loved their glassware too! The bartender was very friendly; I failed to notice the tap list above the bar was different from the menu so I was glad that was pointed out for my second beer. Prices are reasonable for the experience of being here. The other clientele at the bar were also friendly, it has a neighborhood vibe but is welcoming to all.

    We stumbled upon Third Rail after watching a basketball game at Chase Center, and it ended up being…read moresuch a gem! The atmosphere was great. It was busy on a Saturday night without feeling overwhelming and the whole place had a really fun relaxed energy to it. The staff was also fantastic and super helpful with all of our questions. We tried an Old Fashioned and the Third Rail cocktail, which was similar to a sour, and both were phenomenal. Seriously some amazing drinks. We didn't get a chance to try any of their jerky this time around, but we'll definitely be back for it!

Needed a kick - The jerk jerky: goddam this was spicy! From someone with a medium spice tolerance! Good thing I had the cocktail to wash it down haha. The parts that weren't tongue burning spicy were so flavorful though - The red eye: the espresso rub was subtle but a fun contrast - The thicc Jim: better than any slim Jim or chomp stick you'll ever eat. Fresh pork and that hot honey garlic essence Logistics: - Indoor and outdoor seating - Limited street parking nearby but right next to the light rail and buses along third street and the bay bike trail - Non alcoholic options available
