The Vault - Seasonal Burrata Salad

Great establishment with a cool vibe. Super friendly, prompt and attentive staff. But let's cut to…read morethe chase. The poached pear salad with the marinated grilled chicken was top notch. The poached pears were exquisite. The fresh spinach and thin-sliced pears were the perfect bed (better than arugula would have been) and the crans, feta and crushed nuts were great for balance and texture. But let's talk about that chicken's agave marinade. It was zesty with a slight acidic citrus to balance the sweetness from the pear. The whole deal was delicious. And with the maple-dijon vinaigrette to top it off - well, that topped it off! My buddy got a Hippie Chic sandwich and he liked it very much too. I don't usually write reviews on first visits and certainly never before for a salad but the Vault is a gem that should be on full display, not locked away!

I went here for mother's day. This was our first time here. Cute little place. We parked around the…read moreback and sat on the patio. Right out of the gate I was disappointed with slow service. There were two waitresses in our area and it was clear ours was not as serious about their job as the other. We waited long enough after being seated to start to wonder id we had been forgotten. Two other tables (seated after us by the other waitress) had been seated and got drinks before our someone came to our table. When I did get my water it had plastic wrap in it. The other waitress took it from us to get a new one. No sorry, nothing. Acted like nothing happened. Our waitress delivered the new one 10 solid minutes later. It was Not super busy at this time. Why so long? And again no acknowledgement of the plastic.. couldnt get myself to drink anything else with worry of contamination of the ice box. Order the california chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts. My mother had the smash burger. She seemed to enjoy it though both sandwiches were stacked super tall and mine had two huge thick red o ions on it. A bit overpowering but mine was good after that was removed. Brussel sprouts were significantly salty. Wasnt able to get through them. My mom got the fries and tho were standard. She also got a bloody mary. It was alright she seemed to enjoy it. Waitress was a little sarcastic with us for no reason and the plastic and just overall service was unfortunate. It was enough to leave a bad taste in my mouth and I dont plan to return.

The Uncle Ski's Sausage and the Grilled Walleye Sandwich were the BEST, the cooks definitely know what they're doing! Some spice and awesome seasonings among the light sweet and savoury for the sausages--and the fish was PERFECT, especially paired with all the other ingredients within the sandwich. It was a super satisfying spicy and sweet, and much more than I can really describe! Genuinely one of the best I've had pls try it Super pleasant suprise!! The fries were gas too. Also, the interior is super cozy and so cute, I wasn't able to get a photo though--but still so freaking cute!! It's like warm colours and lighting all around and it's definitely an area that'd be seen as a "comfort" place, especially with all the warm and savoury food! Plus extra points for water that actually tastes like nothing w/ no aftertaste + cool looking ice cubes ‍ PLEASE try this place it's so good dude!!

Walked in on a Tuesday. Obviously nothing going on which is fine. The atmosphere was quiet and cool…read moreair was great. The bartender came over and asked what we would like to drink. We just had water because nothing on the menu sounded good. No problem. The food- not much on the menu and very boring. We looked at the menu for about 5 mins trying to decide we should order or not. We decided to just leave. I know it was only a Tuesday at 11am, but quite the boring place in all categories. I believe if you are a younger person and it 9pm it might be a fun place to be because I believe that's what the place is for according to the fb page. But if you open at 11am you should have a good selection of foods.

Our waitress was extremely attentive as well as the other servers and bartender. When we sat down the bartender gave our waitress a heads up when I looked behind me towards her to see if someone was coming to wait on us. There was also a good guitarist/singer (Jacki Carol) performing while we were there. Our neighbors in Yorkville and anyone else dining around us were very pleasant. Everyone on staff worked together checking on us often. Our food was served piping hot and tasted delicious! The portions were large and we will still enjoy finishing them tonight. Good first impression we will be back soon and will spread the word!

We got three appetizers. Steak bites Ruben sliders and seafood ceviche. The steak bites were under seasoned. They were begging for some salt and pepper. The blue cheese on them was perfectly melted and they were done to perfection. They were supposed to have a red wine sauce. It tasted like brown gravy from a packet. Not the worst but no red wine flavor. The Reuben sliders that were most likely made with St Patrick's Day leftovers were delicious !!! The corned beef was thick and trimmed to perfection (no fatty bits). We would get these again. The seafood ceviche was described as being prepared with lime juice and pico de gallo and served with chips and crackers. It came with no crackers (not that big of a deal) but the seafood and pico were in some kind of tomato broth stuff. (Like a Clamato juice). I was not a fan but the husband thought it was fine. The food could have been better with some seasoning but everything was finished.
