I still can't figure out why this place wasn't more busy when we visited. The setting itself is fantastic. It kind of has that industrial craft/speak-easy feel to it where everything is wood and metal. The vault room is neat - I took a peak inside. The service was beyond outstanding (to whoever reads these, the server with the blue hair is ridiculously good at her job). She treated us like we were friends, like she was happy to see us, and like she truly wanted to be at work. The craft beer selection was good - we loved seeing Wicked Weed on tap here. I also had a cocktail, which was also very well prepared. We went for brunch and the food was fantastic. Our party of four left here full and happy.
The atmosphere at The Vault was great. We ate there for brunch. It's a small restaurant and it's major draw is that it used to be a bank so the interior of the building is beautiful. The staff were very accommodating and fun. We considered it pricey but it is a tourist town.
Oct 2017: Sat and Sunday they now open at 10 and it's a 15 brunch buffet only. Food was good. Complete with waffles station and omelet station. No donuts any longer. They had remodeled when compared to April of this year and now has a much bigger bar area. Buffet had a large variety of food April 2017: Waitress was very friendly and food was average. We were looking for homemade biscuits and did not find them here. Cheese grits are a must! Bacon was thick and crispy. We ordered a half dozen mini donuts (really donut holes) in the smores flavor and they were delicious. Atmosphere was nice.
We are locals and really want to like this restaurant, but they have to make some serious improvements before we become regulars. First the positives: the wait staff is very friendly and accommodating and the mixed drinks are great. The Strawberry Salad is awesome! If your entree is not cooked correctly (which happens often), the manager is quick to respond and get you a new dish. Now for the negatives: they either need a new chef, or train the existing chef in the basics. On our first visit, I order a steak cooked medium...it came to me extra rare, just seared on the outside. I sent it back, and as I mentioned, the manager was very apologetic and accommodating. They brought me a new steak, but unfortunately, it was also extra rare. I finally gave up and just didn't eat the steak...they credited my bill for the cost and I left hungry. On our second visit, this past week, we hoped that it would be a better experience, but we were disappointed. First, they were out of several items on the already limited menu...including the cheese curd appetizer and the salmon entree. We ordered the Bistro Steak with Cabernet sauce. The steak was just ok, but very bland, as the Cabernet sauce was just wine poured over the meat at the last minute. I am not a "steak sauce" person, but I asked for 57 sauce to make it palatable. Fortunately, the salad was great and Abby7, our waitress, did a great job, so it wasn't a total loss. The bottom line: get a chef that knows how to cook meat to the requested temperature, season the foods correctly, and order enough food to meet customer needs. We haven't given up on The Vault yet but we need to see some improvements soon!
The atmosphere was cool but that's about it. We went there because online they falsely advertised special designer donuts. When we arrived the woman informed us that they didn't have that right now and the just had normal donut flavors. So went ahead and ordered because we were hungry. The donuts were extremely small(about and inch and a half in diameter). They tasted like funnel cake and not like a donut at all. Extremely over priced for such a small portion. Would never come here. Please stop your false advertising. Disappointed and left hungry.
Best new bar and grill in Blue Ridge. Food is amazing. The staff is super friendly. Bar drinks are the best I have ever had. Definitely worth visiting.
We were seated quickly and the staff was great, like old friends trying to help you out. The food came quick and the artichoke dip was great but the blackend snapper with celery slaw was the star of the show. It was cooked to perfection. My new favorite restaurant in Blue Ridge. I know I will be having cravings for the snapper.
