This was my first time dining at The Vault and I loved it! The ambience was beautiful and elegant yet relaxed. The menu was extensive with so many delicious options and service was spectacular. After dinner I enjoyed a few more drinks in the Cigar lounge and the service was just a good. I will definitely be coming back !

We were early for our reservation but they sat us right away, the service was excellent and the cook was excellent in his presentation and cooking. We had been to several hibachi restaurants but this one provided rice and noodles added to shrimp, vegetables, soup and salad with your selected meat. Great experience our first time at this restaurant and we would definitely go back.

Great ambience! Mexican Sugar accomodated our group of 12 without issue and we all had an awesome time. Great drinks! Food was good, with some dishes less notable than others. The hamburguesa and yuca fries, jardín tacos, and pork chop were favorites of the group. Service was amazing as well, with our server Elizabeth being very attentive. Definitely plan to come back!
