Date night to recently opened in Bluefield, West Virginia - The Vault - Words alone can not describe this restaurant. We started the evening off with a handcrafted Bloody Mary that I have not been able to stop thinking about and what can only be described as a true masterpiece. For appetizers we enjoyed bruschetta, shrimp cocktail, and a caprese salad. The flavors were diverse, unique, and each bite was succulent to say the least. For entree's Genna ordered the Filet tenderloin and I ordered the Ribeye. A symphony on a plate. Incredible. Our steaks were prepared perfectly in temperature and the flavors of each bite was incredible. I am typically hesitant on ordering baked potatoes in restaurants, the loaded baked potato that came as a side option with our entree was possibly the best baked potato I've ever eaten. Our service was absolutely phenomenal - top class. The staff at The Vault welcomed us warmly and was very attentive throughout our entire meal and ensured our experience was a memorable one to not soon forget and they certainly achieved. As we were leaving we were assisted on a tour to the bottom level of the restaurant, in what used to be the banks cash vault which has been renovated into a cigar lounge, it was beautiful. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. If you have not been, please go and enjoy this special gem of a restaurant in West Virginia. I cannot wait to see where this culinary journey takes The Vault, because it is certainly one with one destination, success. read more

Lovely fine dining! A hidden gem! Old bank vault repurposed as a restaurant, cigar bar, speak-easy.

Charming place for a fine meal with excellent service. Whenever I'm in the area for business I love to make The Vault my dinner destination. Good strong variety of options on the menu, polished servers, and plenty of opportunities for drinks and dessert. read more

Service was perfect. As good as 3 Michelin star restaurants I've experienced. Not quite but just as efficient and friendly. Food was very good and ambience was as well. 4.5 star fine dining experience for WV. I will return often and will recommend to friends. Thank you to the owners and staff. read more

Have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. Professional service and friendly staff. They have been well-trained by Tony the manager. He is a true feather in their cap. Always friendly and on top of things. The food is exceptional. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but oh so worth the money spent. The setting is elegant while also paying tribute to our local history. We are lucky to have something this nice in our area, and it's good to see locals supporting it. read more

Cute place . Definitely worth a shot if you are in the area . The Vault appears to be in a renovated / rehabbed historical type building , and it was definitely done right . Great entryway! Host was charming and helpful and seated us without reservations, which seem like the way to go here . We were taken directly to a table in the original vault of the building , which was unique . The room did have a slight echo but was not a problem in any way. Our server was Katie I believe and she was excellent and extremely efficient. Ordered - Burger with truffle fries Pasta of the day French onion soup Craft beer Cosmopolitan PROs *Plenty of parking for the establishment and the foot traffic . *nice selection on menu *nice size drink menu * bread at table *reasonable prices for selection * fast meal delivery *temperatures of each selection were appropriate *music selection was appropriate and right volume *interior was good looking Cons Not really any cons although if I were visiting again I would call ahead for choice seating , Overall really enjoyed , and would definitely return if in the area . read more

It was a nice dining experience. Service and friendliness of the staff was exceptional. They were on top of everything; we spoke with three or four employees, and every one was professional and yet personable. Our meals tasted good, but they weren't original or better than we expected. 3.5 stars for food and 5.0 stars for service. I'll definitely go back. read more

Tony is awesome. Went for our second time this year. Beautiful building and front house and service . Food is always top notch. Try to order something different every time. Easily our favorite. read more

First time visiting The Vault and cannot begin to express what a great place it is. The food was phenomenal and the service even better. The ambiance is beautiful and welcoming. The cigar lounge downstairs was decorated to the T. Well done. Will definitely visit again. read more

We had never heard of or been to the Vault. We searched restaurants near our location. Boy was it a lucky pick. Service was outstanding, food was incredible , and the peach sangria was beyond!! I had tortellini carbonara and it was delicious. My sister loved the ziti and sausage. My favorite part of the meal was the caprese salad. I could have done some serious plate licking. Give this place a try, you won't be sorry. read more

Excellent service, presentation & food. Wonderful mixed drinks & deserts. Service was extraordinary. I had the dinner special, braised ribs & she had the other special, steak & pasta. For desert, we split their carrot cake. Awesome read more

My wife and I absolutely enjoyed our drinks and we enjoyed the staff and waiting staff

Was a great atmosphere for Bluefield. They try a little too hard but it's good to see the effort. A great upscale restaurant is not just about an opulent atmosphere but an effortless service. This is where they miss the mark but I'm not going to ding a star, it's easily the best place in Bluefield but it would fall on its face in a town with upscale competition. Stop with the muffins etc at brunch. Unless you make them fresh leave them in the back. read more

Over price for mediocre good! The Char or Chop joes is way better and cheaper! I don't mind paying for good food at all but 350 for ok food isn't it read more

Excellent meal tonight at The Vault for my birthday dinner!! Exceptional service by Spencer!! Can't wait to go back for our next meal!!

They ran out of things you order high priced to go with nice surroundings but you will see

Excellent service for large group. Tony went out of his way to make it special. Will absolutely go back.

The restoration of this building is amazing, great to see a fine dining restaurant in the bluefield and located in the historical downtown. I ordered the Vault burger with truffle fries. Food prices are a bit higher but the food is also better so it works. We arrived with no reservations on a busy day and set inside the actually vault, with historical murals painted on the walls. Worth the drive for a fine dine! read more

Our experience was good at this restaurant. The ambiance was on point. The building is beautifully decorated and has a historic cast. The service was exceptional. We ordered a draft beer and a Moscow mule both were perfect. My husband ordered salmon with potatoes for dinner while I chose shrimp and grits. His meal was very good and he had no complaints. Mine was mediocre. The grits were runny and virtually tasteless. The shrimp was prepared beautifully so that stabled the meal and kept it from being a complete fail for me. Overall it was a win and we definitely be back to try more. read more

I recommend the Vault 5 Stars!!! Delicious food and fabulous service. This restaurant is a gem and no details go overlooked. I'm so glad there is an exceptional place to eat in this area! My husband and I drive an hour to get to this restaurant, but it is well worth it! The atmosphere is wonderful and all of the staff are attentive and trained to make your dining experience a memorable one. There is a great wine selection, favorite spirits stocked, and daily specials you won't see anywhere else within driving distance. This restaurant is very well managed and management is present to ensure the best experience. This is a dress up or be casual place. You're in a comfortable setting either way. Every entree I've had has been delicious and cooked to perfection. I've eaten everywhere, and this place is one of my most favorites. We go here for date night, with friends, and for business dinners. We will continue to go here for the delicious food and impressive service. Thank you Vault for bringing us the very best !!! Can't wait to go back. Be sure to check out the cigar lounge downstairs.. it's cool even if you don't like to have a smoke. read more

The Vault Downtown was an absolutely all around delightful experience, ranging from the staff's attentiveness and friendliness to the mouthwatering drinks, dinner, and dessert. The presentation of every item was amazing and we weren't rushed; everything was timed perfectly. The French onion soup was served hot and cheesy, the berry salad was divine and our steaks were melt in your mouth, cooked perfectly per our request. The pumpkin cheesecake was mouthwatering. My husband and I live in Florida and stopped in Bluefield for the evening before continuing our drive to Pennsylvania. We will make this detour again simply to dine at this fabulous restaurant! read more

The food here was delicious. No complaints in that department, however, I do wish we got bigger portion sizes for how much money we spent. The staff was super nice. read more

First visit tonight. We visit 2-3 times a year and this is by far the best dining experience we've had in the area. The chef is a James Beard Award receipient and the food reflects that level of achievement. The wine and cocktail offerings are very good. The wait staff is young and perhaps a little too eager but not to the point of being intrusive. We will definitely be back. read more
