Unfortunately the tables are now so close together even the servers are practically jumping over chairs to serve. It took 1/2 hr after we got there to get our wine. The pours were small and when i ordered a second glass i was told they were out of my wine-i must have gotten the end of the bottle. There are only 3 red wines by the glass, so now down to 2 choices. Fortunately i liked the new wine. We ordered the salad, which came on 2 whole lettuce leaves, not easy to eat. Also dressing was served separately, making it hard to dress evenly . Dressing was bland. Best was the hazelnuts. The pizza however was great! We got the "Lemones" which had whole shrimp on it. Pretty but hard to eat. Yummy taste though. We love the dark char on the crust.

And to me, the price is too high for the food to just be "fine." The mocktails are always delicious, and one time they made me a Pimm's cup. I've also sipped a few of my family's cocktails and they're quite good. The best thing I had was a vegan sloppy Joe with chickpeas a few years ago. The vegan Caesar salad is good. They seem to have a housemade veggie burger on the menu year round, but it's on a brioche bun so if you want to get it vegan it just comes without a bun... I had it once with the bun and even then I found it pretty dry and underwhelming, especially for the price. ($18 with a pickle and a handful of their thick fries [the fries are tasty and vegan]). We went yesterday and I got a squash appetizer without the crème fresh, and half the squash was undercooked (like so hard I couldn't put a fork through it). I told the server and they comped the dish, but even the part that was edible wasn't that great, so I didn't really want a replacement. My sister likes the steak, she's had it twice and the steak is cooked well, the sauce is good, but the carrots have been undercooked both times. She agrees that the drinks are better than the food. She also says the desserts are good. My mom thought the crab cakes were delicious, her Brussels sprouts were not undercooked. The people who work there are lovely, and it's a good vibe, but it might just be a drinks & desserts spot for me.

Cozy atmosphere. There were 3 employees that night, the woman who initially waited on us actually appeared to roll her eyes when we ordered. She seemed pretty rushed and just didn't want to work that night or something. The bartender was friendly and came for our second round and he actually seemed more welcoming and friendly. The drinks menu is a bit small (compared to other nearby bars). We got 5 drinks, one espresso one which wasn't great and the rest were alright. Nothing that made us go "Oh man, try that!" but they weren't bad either. The food, looks better than normal bar food, which I loved. We ordered "Balls of Gibralter" - North African meatballs, which were *SO GOOD*, so delicious EXCEPT the texture. The flavors were all amazing, but it was as if there was too much egg and not enough breadcrumbs because it gave the impression of being wildly undercooked, even though you could see no pink. If they were firmer, they would've been perfect. They seem to have a rotating grilled cheese special I wouldn't mind checking out next time. The ambiance-lovely. The service - meh The drinks - average The food - has a lot of potential

It was a great surprise to see a new indie cafe right by the bridge roundabout (12/12/25). Tiny parking lot and adjacent street parking were all full, thankfully I found a spot around the corner instead. This has outdoor seating with a great waterfront view of Sinclair Inlet, as well as, indoor seating with decent natural light. There's wrap around window seating, plus cozy couch and banquette area. The decor is pleasant with merch interspersed with art work/prints, healthy foliage, and festive touches for the holidays. Welcoming owner, I believe, at the main counter who took my beverage order. Pastries are from Macrina and coffee beans from Olympia Coffee. Aside from the usual coffee/tea bevs, there's also other food items like overnight oatmeal, breakfast burritos, smoothies, gelato, and mocktails. The barista who crafted my 16oz mocha did a fantastic job. Nicely balanced flavor wise and perfect temperature which was greatly appreciated. Most indie coffee spots are drive throughs along my route. One I had frequented on Wheaton Way had relocated and now closed. Another one I enjoy is located in the Charleston neighborhood on Callow, so it's good to add Vim & Vigor to my rotation when I'm across the sound in Bremerton.

When we first got into the bar, the hostess asked us if we had a reservation, I hadn't known beforehand that you needed a reservation and I said no. They told us we were limited to sitting there for I think an hour or an hour and a half, I can't remember, but I thought it was weird considering at least half the restaurant was empty and stayed that way the whole time we were there. But after that weird interaction to start, the rest of our night was so magical. Sometimes I would get distracted from my book just looking at the decor. I love how open and spacious the place is and there were so many cosy reading spots. I ordered Daisy's Downfall which tasted kind of like a cosmopolitan and was absolutely delicious, I loved the bright flavours and how perfectly it paired with the charcuterie board we got. As a cheese lover, I was so excited to see they had charcuterie on the menu. The pear slices and the beechers cheese were some of the highlights. My boyfriend and I had a great time reading our books and taking cute aesthetic pictures for our Instagrams. The only thing that kind of threw me off is that fifteen minutes before we were about to leave, a couple on a first date was seated adjacent to us and were talking super loudly. But I was still able to lock in and finish my book and I had a great time, my boyfriend and I definitely want to come back for more reading dates.

The inside is so well decorated and it's like a library x bar. There were a lot of people just hanging out - reading, crocheting, etc and it was a very pleasant vibe. We both got drinks and a couple of flatbreads to share. I got Daisy's Downfall, which was the perfect cocktail imo and just the right strength. We shared the asian pear & proscuitto flatbread as well as the cauliflower curry one, both of which were really yummy! I loved the soft crust and crispy edges a lot. Service was super attentive as well. Overall, a great place to hang!

Not to s&#+ on the place, it actually use to be good for brunch and dinner, but Prices have definitely spiked, and unfortunately the quality of the food doesn't always match what you're paying for, or what you came expecting. Portions and consistency can vary, and overall I just don't come anymore unless it's to meet a family member as I live close. The outside view and backyard is the lake, and my family grew up on the lake, it's fun to fish and boat by there when the weather's nice! I added some nice pics, mabye my review will change in the future as I never rate a restaurant poorly, always truthful and take everything into consideration, and try to help others by explaining my experience as a local, and a use-to-be 2-3 times a week even if it was to sit at the bar snd pull some pull tabs. But yeah it's not what it was! There are some positives, but between the service issues, rising prices, and inconsistent food quality, it leaves a lot to be desired.

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

I opted for their mezcal cocktail while my homegirl got a s'more's type martini I think. Their menu also offers food and wine, but we opted to just try some drinks and bounce. Overall, a cool place to try out.

So you have to poke around here at the building in order to find this bar. Some McMenamins locations have hidden rooms also so if you are out and about and touring an unfamiliar location it's best to ask a staff member if there are any hidden rooms for where you are visiting. If you wind up getting frustrated trying to find this bar perhaps ask a staff member on that situation as well and maybe they can give you pointers. Once you are inside this fairly small sized bar you can look up at the ceiling and see where the sidewalk is with the purple stained glass design. It's a nice place to relax but can get very busy as These hidden bars are often quite popular with McMenamins customers. Some bars don't have all drink options available that Some of their pubs have but here you can definitely get a cocktail or a beer. The Vault is a super cool place and I highly recommend going to seek it out!
