I attended a birthday party dinner and was seated in the vault itself. Which was an interesting experience but I personally think it was silly as they sat part of our group in the vault and part outside the vault at the bar essentially breaking our group into two. The Restaurant itself was loud and the service was less then stealer. Seemed to be slow in general from ordering our drinks to our food arriving. I will say the food was Delicious and the peanut butter pie was to die for. I would go again and hope the service was better. Worth a try! read more

Ordered the mussels and they were delicious! My husband had the flat iron steak and he enjoyed it very much. They were very pleasant and accommodating and our server was just very helpful! Will definitely go again! read more

Honestly, the first time me and my fiance went, it was on a Sunday night birthday party at 9, obviously not so hungry, but we ordered small meals. I hated mine, he was sick the next day. But I called the next day to complain, and the owner promptly returned my call. He had checked with suppliers and the chefs, and couldn't explain his sickness, but sent us gift certificates to apologize. We were skeptical, but returned, and I'm so glad we did! Food is delicious, and the drinks even better! Now we go back again and again! Thanks for the excllent customer service, it got you some new fans! read more

It was our first time to Vault, and we made a reso for a Saturday evening. I have to say, I absolutely loved the aesthetics and ambiance of the restaurant. Loft ceilings and twinkling lights, interesting wall decor. A truly funky, cozy feel. They also had live music, that included a musician singing classic and familiar 90s hits on an acoustic guitar (think Pearl Jam, oasis etc). My husband and I really enjoyed the vibe. And while our cauliflower/chicken appy was yum, our main courses left something to be desired. He ordered the ahi tuna, which was a $29 entree, while I ordered the prawn curry penne ($24). He said his fish was rubbery and over cooked, and the general portion sizing for his main was very small. My pasta lacked seasoning and any distinct flavor. Really disappointing, considering the general atmosphere was so appealing, but the food was just way over priced for what it was. read more

First time there would not recommend, ALL the food was over seasoned from salt on everything to herbs in the rice. The over seasoning could've been forgiven do you to the quality of the meat cuts, only if we didn't end up getting sick a few hours later after eating at the vault restaurant. It was a nice evening due to the kindness of the staff but... you go out to eat good quality food not to see the staff will never return. The food is definitely not worth it read more

Went to the Vault on New Year's for 6:00 - we sat in the Tiki Lounge which is off to one side. I don't think I'd sit in that area again only because it felt quite detached from the action of the restaurant but it was kitchy and cute. We started off with the dry ribs which were very good. Lots of meat on the bones and very tasty. I had a raspberry martini, it was just ok, my fiancé had 7 coconuts and it was awesome! Its 7up, Malibu and maraschino cherries - yup! The building is impressive with its super high ceilings and open wooden beams and brick work. It has a very romantic jazzy feel. Great for large parties of people. My main was lamb chops and my fiancé had braised short ribs. Both came with potato and season veg. My chops were flavorful - the only set back and why I gave only four stars - they were very rare. I had ordered medium rare and the first one, which was smaller was perfect, and the second that was thicker was more rare than I preferred. I only realized how rare once I had got through to the middle so I didn't complain. I can totally understand how difficult it is to cook them perfectly when the cuts are not uniform and they are crusted with a coating making it even harder to tell how well its cooked. My fiancés short ribs were tender and very good. The table next to us ..since we are nosey....ordered the seafood combo which looked amazing ..def what we both are interested in trying next time. Dessert was peanut butter pie - OMG - I would go there JUST for that pie. wow. it was ice cold and almost was like having an icecream cake with intense peanut butter - it honestly is the best! We wished we could have enjoyed some live music but we guess that since I was New Years that it must be happening later in the evening for the reservations who may have purchased tickets (?). That's ok - i'll be back ...for that pie. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE VAULT! Great atmosphere and music and drinks. Food is delicious!! I had the Vault burger and that is to die for, must have on the menu. And the drinks we had were the Ceaser and Aperol spritz, bosses wife martini and the last bank martini. They were all very delicious. My fiancé and I are coming here again next time. read more

Went to the Vault Restaurant this evening for a family dinner... 14 of us. Had a great table with ample seating. Great room. Place was busy. Server was efficient and pleasant. Drinks came within a reasonable amount of time... good selection of beer, wine and cocktails. Menu is decent... steak, pasta, seafood, salads. Reasonably priced. Everything was fresh and delicious... everyone was happy and had just enough to eat. Desserts took a while and were just ok. We noticed other tables had bread... was only until half way through our meal when someone said where's our bread that we were told bread was by request... so we requested bread and it came hot and fresh baked. Only other comment is that the music was very faint... would have created a more lively atmosphere if it was a tad louder. Would definitely go back. read more

Vault Restaurant - Apple Crumble was decent. - Steakhouses Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

Me and my husband had a gift card... So we decided to dine in at this establishment and give it a try... Thank God that we had a gift card......The service was good and prompt... we started off with the crab cakes...they were tasteless for our liking...we have had them many times before elsewhere...he ordered the grilled chicken pasta..it came with something rubbery on it ...maybe tofu on the chicken ...the whole dish was flavourless ...I ordered the chicken gumbo with rice which also wasn't great. 'My Dessert was the New York cheesecake with blueberry compote...this was a true New York cheesecake and probably the better part of the meal. The apple crumble tasted microwaved. Overall, the vault has a nice yaletown feel to it..and the live music was a nice touch but I would never go there again for food. read more

Went with my wife. She said "I could eat here all night. All the food here is so good!" So true. Lots of flavour in the food. Not too filling. Just perfect. Great service! read more

Went there with another couple for dinner. Live music which was amazing, food was good and atmosphere cozy. Service was great.

One of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. I took a very good customer, employees and spouses to this quaint restaurant in Surrey, very near Cloverdale. The atmosphere was great, with a guitar player that was very good but not too loud. Appetizers were amazing, the waitress was fantastic and the food was phenomonal. I would recommend this place to anyone and look forward to a time we can go back. Make reservations, the place was busy. read more

This would be a five star for me, but the last time I was there the food was excellent but not amazing like on previous visits. Service is great, the menu is very traditional west coast (a good thing!). I normally get there rib eye steak and it is always cooked and seasoned well. read more

Food was great and served in a reasonable time. We had Greek salad, Beet an arugula salad and main course was Rack of Lamb and Steelhead salmon. Topped it all off with desserts Tiramisu and apple crumble. read more

See all

A great meal at the Vault as usual. Braised ribs were great. Had the peanut butter pie as well. Mmmmm. Great service by Candice. read more

Vault Restaurant - Want a good steak? Go to The Vault! - Steakhouses Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

I went there for my friend's birthday and the waitress looked at me weird when I smelled my armpits. The fries were sour like warheads, but they gave me peace as well, like the book war and peace. Overall the people were nice, and there were cool pictures on the wall. Over"vault" () I had a pretty good time!! read more

I wish I could come here more often! My husband and I had one of our very first dates here and we have been making it at least 5 times a year since then. The atmosphere is perfect and food is always wonderful. We find it more of a special occasion type of restaurant but still go anytime just because we enjoy it so much. If you haven't been yet and are planning on going you will definitely enjoy yourself. read more

Consistently very good! The service, food, location and ambiance for a vibrant night out is perfect. On top of all that, you get a "downtown" feel without having to actually drive downtown. Enjoy!!! read more

i LOVE "the Vault". We were a party of 4 and each of us loved everything about it. The waitstaff was very attentive and the owner introduced himself. I had the steelhead and everyone was very happy with their selections. I found the waitstaff friendly but not overly so, (I hate it when they act like they're my best friend, and in one local restaurant the server acted scooted me over and sat next to me.. did not like that at all....lol) The staff is very knowledgeable of the ingredients and the wines. Thank you VAULT, you are our only "Go To" restaurant in Albany Oregon. read more

Took my wife for a birthday dinner. Had arranged for a piece of cake with a candle to come after dinner .. never did. Ordered the Beef carpaccio and received smoked salmon for an appetizer. Food was pretty good but not worth the price. They really need to work on their service as the team did not seem very attentive nor did they bother to go above and beyond. Will not be returning. read more

The food is pretty good but I had some concerns. When walking by the kitchen you can see that it's quite messy, dirty, unorganized and the equipment looks quite old and run-down... it seems like some updates would help the kitchen staff out a lot but they do well with what they are working with. I had the duck confit poutine which was good. The peppercorns overpower the duck flavor a little bit and I'd prefer smaller cut potatoes but it was an overall nice dish. The rack of lamb was clearly not a 'housemade sauce' with it but it was still good, a litte overpriced for the size of the entree. The peanut butter pie is worth the trip for just that alone! Service staff is nice Kitchen staff is loud(you can overhear them in the bathrooms) Bathrooms need a serious update and were kinda dirty:( Debating if I'll go back for dinner again... probably I'll try it for lunch? xoxo -- Kallie read more

Just had my one and definitely only visit to the Vault Restaurant. Got there at 9:00 pm for a dinner out with my wife. Walked in the door and found the place 2/3 full at best. Still waited more than five minutes for someone to acknowledge us. The waitress was slow unless alcohol was ordered, the food was below average at best. I've eaten better steaks at Denny's. The place was really loud. Felt as though we'd walked in on someone else's party. The washrooms were discussing, they made a dark alley on the downtown east side look clean. Don't waste your time, just don't go! read more

Always has good service. The seafood pasta is amazing. Staff is usually pretty friendly. A nice quaint environment

Great ambiance and vibe. Food was top notch and the live music was enjoyable. Perfect for date night.

Our fav go-to date night spot. I love that they take reservations. Food is always good. Try the short ribs! Everything on the menu has been great. read more

We were skeptical at first since the location isn't the usual Vancouver/Downtown scene, but we decided to give it a try after looking at their website. As we stepped in, we were greeted with a professional and friendly host. The decor and layout of the restaurant was very unique with various antique items displayed. The menu has quite a wide variety, from appetizers, pizzas, pastas, steak, to seafood. The drink selection was good too. The items we had were excellent, the fish was made perfectly. We didn't have room for dessert and had to take some leftovers home. This is a great restaurant overall at a very reasonable price and superb service. Take a drive out and try it :) read more

Cloverdale's hidden treasure with a Yaletown vibe. My favourite dish... short rib. Service is always excellent. The live music has been good, too. Good idea to make a reservation. read more

This was the second time I was at this restaurant, first time was a few years ago and it was great, this time was not great. Our party of 4 ordered appetizers and 3 were delivered. Calamari was chewy, crab cakes were ordinary, tomato bocconcini - how can you go wrong with a caprese salad. Price was not worth the quantity nor the quality. Our server, although very nice was also quite pushy to have us order our entree's and when she was reminded that my appetizer was forgotten, she argued that it had been delivered. It had not. She was told by our host to bring my order and we would wait to order entree's. I had ordered duck spring rolls. At our table we had 2 guests with special dietary needs. That into consideration our entree' choices are minimal but workable. one guest ordered a bowl of butternut squash soup - it was far too sweet, textually unappealing and closer to pumpkin pie filling in flavour, she could not eat it, I being the other guest with dietary needs chose to just have the duck spring rolls as my meal, they were very nice and quite tasty. The other 2 in our party ordered chicken breast which he said was okay but not spectacular and the other ordered the chef special of a steak with a bacon/jack daniel's demi and his steak was not tender nor cooked to his choice, he did not finish his steak. The price for the meals did not meld with the quality received. Feeling quite dissappointed with our evening, we know we wont be back. read more

Such a cute restaurant in Cloverdale. The food was great and we had a really nice server that was quick and efficient. I will be visiting this location again. read more

Service was pretty good always someone there to look after us. It wasn't anything special so i can always appreciate that. But the food did not taste too good. I got the ravioli and it came out like a stew. My sister got the seafood penne and it was very bland. Best of luck gotta go read more

Been here few times, the food is very good. They offer coupons which we use most of the time. This gives us extra funds for wine.

By far my favourite restaurant in Cloverdale. Fresh, beautifully presented food that is sure to please any pallet. The live music is a great touch! read more

Vault is one of my favorite restaurants!! Love the short rib sandwich at lunch and seafood grill!!! I've been a dozen times and have not had a bad experience yet! read more

I've now eaten here twice ... 1st for New Years Eve & last weekend for my husbands birthday. I enjoyed my dinner the first time & loved it the 2nd time. For my husbands birthday we were a group of 7. Everyone loved their food. 3 of us ordered the braised beef short ribs & they were amazing!!! They were so good I would go there just to eat that!!! We got to sit in the vault & it was perfect for our group. We had great service ... Our waitress Jen was amazing & fun. It closes at 10:30 & we were the last to leave at 12:30! Never once did they come in & say it was time to leave. I highly recommend eating here & will be visiting again soon!!! A downtown experience right in Cloverdale!! read more

My wife and I have enjoyed the Vault the last four times we dined there. This time we brought friends and am said to say were embarrassed to have them spend their money there. Food was still good but the service was terrible. Pushy, rushing and interruptive. Who can enjoy friends and dinner like this??? We felt like we sat down and were being rushed to get out the door. Constant interruptions from our waitress. She wanted entry orders before we even opened the menu! I'd mention her name but of course no name tag or introduction. Sad since we previously enjoyed it there. Next time we'll find a more welcoming place. read more

First time here and will gladly return. I ordered the almond crusted salmon. No taste of almond but the crust was delicious and the salmon extraordinarily tender, it came with rice and bok choy. I felt that as the accompaniments are inexpensive additions to the salmon more could have been added to the plate considering the cost. The service was good but not great, not sure why our meals were delayed. Also I asked for hot lemon water upon my arrival, which was promptly provided, however even though twice the server came round to top up everyone's cold water I was not asked if I would like more hot water, once I asked for it however it was again promptly provided. The atmosphere is nice and interesting perhaps next time I will come back for dinner. read more

We have been a loyal customer since 2007 referred by family. Our go to for special occasions and have been a vocal supporter to anyone who asks where to go for a good night out. We had a company function there last year with my boosting (over 60 people). Valentine's evening may have been the wierdest experience yet of my life, our server (Megan by what is on the reciept) kept asking us if we were ready to order constantly, and finally I said that we'd place our order but were in no hurry to eat. I'm talking about she hounded us at least every five minutes after bringing our initial drinks. We wanted to enjoy our Valentines evening and I get that she was trying to turn the table as fast as possible but wow it was unreal!! When we ordered our meal I also ordered a second beer and it took a few minutes to get that. I drink a beer in about 15 minutes our dinner was in front of us with out any heads up and I was not nearly finished my beer. We never had any nice relaxing conversation before dinner, called our server over and she denied that we had said put a hold on the order! After some discussion she did offer to take the meals back but like I said..... "after" some discussion!!!! she never once accepted the fact that I had not been in a hurry to eat!! We did not send the meals back and ate a great meal prepared by your staff in the kitchen - she the mixed seafood grill. and I the braised beef ribs - Fabulous !!! Our server came to us and said that dessert was on the house - we thought ok so we ordered dessert and coffee drinks to go with it. The coffee drinks came and were drank and still waiting for the dessert to arrive. The table beside us had their dinner plates cleared and desert placed in front of them all while we sat there with our coffee - they being served by the same server!! By this time I'd had enough and refused the dessert and got up to leave. When at the front waiting to pay I said that I as disappointed in the service and really didn't get eye contact from the person I was talking too. I went out the door and left before I lost it!! My wife was left to pay the bill and she was told that we were rude to our server and called our server disengenuous!! This is not a word I have ever used nor my wife!! I am at home flabbergasted and in awe at what went on. The so called manager on duty didn't want to hear about our experiance, and Identified herself as a manager after I had gone out the door!! She did not want to hear anyhing from us and did not carry herself in a professional managers way. She obviosly knew that there was a problem but did nothing to defuse the situation but chose to escalate it!!!! There are a lot of places to eat and you have lost a long time supporter over a managers poor decison. read more

We were so happy when this place opened up in Cloverdale, We go here often and have never had a bad meal. Exceptional steaks and ahi tuna! A funky place with a laid back atmosphere, but always good service. read more

Love this place!! Food is fantastic and service is attentive! Took my mom there for her birthday and they did not dissappoint! Food was amazing...the girl asked if it was a special occasion and I had said it was for my mom's birthday. When we ordered a dessert...she came out with a candle on it! Totally made my mom's night! Whenever we want to take someone out to impress for dinner...the vault is my first choice! read more
