My family and I gathered at the Vault on the Saturday of Easter weekend for a meal. Simply put the service was amazing and the food was perfectly prepared. Having grown up in the area it is great to have place to return to and properly dine. Everyone in our party remarked at how much fun they had. Let's all support this place and make it a Bluefield tradition for years to come.
The Vault is nothing short of AMAZING!!! I went on a virtual date for my birthday because my boyfriend couldn't be there with me. I dined alone inside the actual "vault" (which is an old bank vault), but he was there virtually on DUO! The staff is super friendly and very attentive! This was my second time eating there inside the vault and it was equally amazing the first time. I definitely recommend this restaurant when visiting Bluefield, WV!
Wonderful atmosphere! Excellent service! Dinner and dessert were both phenomenal!
The meals were excellent! Best burger I have ever had out in a restaurant! Will be returning often!
We had the pleasure of enjoying the great food, atmosphere and service at The Vault today. It was hands down the best restaurant we have been to in a long time. The interior design is gorgeous and so cool with the way they kept the bank vault and other aspects of the original building. We will definitely be back! Spencer is a great waiter be sure to ask for him!
Best place for a great dinner. Service is always top-tier and food is phenomenal. I encourage anyone who plans team outings/large party dinners to use the Vault. They will not disappoint.
Great ambience , very attentive staff, very elegant resturaunt. Salmon was good. The filet we ordered was great presentation, however was quite tough and chewy for a filet. Beautiful resturaunt .
What an incredible experience we had on Valentine's day at The Vault and what a hidden gem we have in our backyard in Bluefield, WV. General Manager Tony runs a meticulous restaurant serving up friendliness, ambiance, service, and fantastic food. Everything we tasted was flawless, but my favorite was the melt in your mouth salmon with bacon and Brussel sprouts paired with a visually stunning crème brulée to top off the evening. I can't wait til my next visit!
Truly excellent meal. Just passing through and stopped in Bluefield for the night. The Vault Downtown restaurant was the most pleasant surprise of the trip. The French onion soup had lots of gruyere cheese and onions. We also loved the trout and crab cakes. Bread and icecream are homemade. There were numerous signatures cocktails and an extensive wine list. Servers were very friendly. We will definitely eat here again next time we pass by the area.
The atmosphere was amazing, calm and peaceful. Service was on their game and the food was excellent. This is a great place to go for special occasions.
