    Bacon macaroni and cheese with garlic bread.
    Kezia W.

    We were seated promptly and our server took our drink orders as we were seated. They were promptly brought to the table. Unlike some reviewers there were no negative issues with our service. The bacon mac was creamy with bits of bacon. The sauce was neither too thin nor too thick. The noodles were cooked to perfection. I would recommend this dish to any macaroni and cheese lover. Overall it was an entirely pleasant dining experience.

    Prime Rib

    Nice workers and outdoor space for the sunny days. Felt like there weren't enough workers for the few people eating there, but also maybe that I was just forgotten... anyways the prime rib was alright, the cocktail was strong and the tables were full of endless spider webs!

    Great place with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Kid-friendly. Had the bacon Mac and cheese and it was really good.

    House salad the waitress graciously gave me because the tacos were so bad.

    Too long of a wait for terrible food. 2 stars just for our waitress being awesome. Even though our waitress Zoe was very friendly, she and another waitress were doing the best they could with how many patrons they had to serve and it was quite a while before our appetizer came out, let alone our dinner. She also managed to check in with us and refill our drinks appropriately. We were patient and looking forward to our meals because they were described on the menu as being pretty fantastic. Reality was not so. I appreciated Zoe asking how the food was after waiting longer than we should have. Unfortunately, I had to be honest and tell her the tacos were horrible. She acknowledged my disappointment and I suggested a salad if it wouldn't take too long and she agreed to make one herself for me! The pork chops were described as having Cajun seasoning, but they were plain, and there was nothing special about them... they were at least edible. The restaurant has the potential to be great, with staff like Zoe, and it's a pretty nice place aesthetically. They just need to hire more people and have chefs who know how to make better food instead of serving worse than chain restaurant style meals... We won't be returning.

    Barbecue burger with chipotle ranch dipping sauce. So fresh!

    Took a little lunch break with my boyfriend and his brother. Super sweet and helpful staff make it very inviting. The food tasted so fresh and the portions were huge! Overall the vibe was cozy and laidback definitely a great lunch/ early dinner spot!! Recommend the raspberry lemonade.

    Vault 244 is such a frustrating restaurant. It has one of the best atmospheres in Albany. It's…read moreclassy. It has a great bar to sit at. I love watching bartenders work. The staff is friendly. But there is a bit of inconsistency with the food. Specifically with the fried calamari. I don't fry food at home so this is always a treat for me when I go out. The last 3 times I have ordered the dish it has come out 3 ways. First it was overdone. Twice. It shouldn't be brown. It should be golden. When we went back I told the bartender I really wanted to order the calamari, but they had overdone it the previous 2 times. She told me they had a new chef so I decided to give him a chance. It was better, but still not great. Then, because I just can't quit it, I ordered it one more time and it was awful. I'm kicking myself for not sending it back because it was that bad. It was as if the oil was not hot enough and it just absorbed all this grease and had almost no crunch. My bad. I have only eaten off of the appetizers menu because I like doing drinks and small plates so I can't comment on the entrees. You can't really screw up a Wedge Salad. The Brussel Sprouts are a safe option as well. And the Castelvetrano olives and warm hazelnuts with baguette is an interesting dish. But this is a pretty low bar in terms of cookery. I love going to the Vault. I just wish I could get more excited about the food.

It's just non flavored cream with fizz water Truffle fries: some of the best textured fries I've had. Really crispy on the outside. Could be perfect if the truffle flavor is a bit stronger Creole Prawn: the bread is really crispy. The shrimp and sauce isn't very Cajun for my taste. More of a northwest interpretation. Pretty mild Pork porterhouse: huge chunk of pork. The outside is a bit dry. Inside is pretty tender. However, it's lacking flavor. The tomato sauce isn't adding much flavor either. Top sirloin: it's ok. Wanted to order the burger but it's sold out. Just a normal steak. Nothing special Cream brûlée: love this one. Huge size for just 7$. Silky smooth custard with fresh fruit. The only downside is the sugar on top is a bit burned Service is good. Waitress is very nice.

    We were visiting the area and someone picked this place ratings looked good and the decor is nice…read morebut it all went south from there. We showed up in stages but the bartender must have been having a bad day he would get one drink order at a time is what my peeps told me, I thought they were joking. We ordered 2 Bloody Marys and one didn't taste like it had any alcohol in it so we mixed the 2 together. The food came out real slow and kind of haphazardly. I will say the hummus was good. The menu is American and Indian so I was excited. Some people's burgers were way over done and after the food all came out, I was informed they were all out of Dahl Makhani Which was disappointing. So I asked for Chana masala and after a while they came and told me that they were out of that too, so I settled for a black and blue burger with tots. My burger came and thankfully it wasn't overdone and it came with fries. Now the last 2 at the table are still waiting for their burgers none too happy. As I finish my Bloody Mary I notice a 1 1/2 inch crack in my glass which I take up to the bartender and let him know, he didn't say anything. Now in the meantime 2 people at the table are saying the chicken Caesar wrap they ordered didn't taste right and opened it up to find what looked like curried chicken chunks that were rinsed off inside the wrap. A while later I order to Kona's for my friend and I, a while later he comes over to tell me they are out of Kona, so I order 2 different beers, and as I am getting down to the end of my beer there's a shard of glass. I take this up to the bars and tell the guy and show him letting him know I think I swallowed a piece and they better check the dishwasher or something. He throws the shard of glass in the garbage and walks away. The kicker 3 of us had bad stomach aches the next day. I don't know what's going on but I would avoid this place
