The Vault Downtown — Restaurant in Bluefield

The atmosphere is amazing. It feels like you are dining in a big city somewhere far away, not in southern West Virginia. The staff was super nice and attentive. However the food portions were miniscule and more about "presentation". I left STARVING. I'm not a big gal by any means (about 115 lbs) and I could have eaten 4 of these dinners easy. I ordered an appetizer of shrimp cocktail which had only 3 shrimp and dinner was grilled fish and asparagus. I was served like 5 asparagus spears and a very small peice of fish. The dinners took over an hour to arrive and all were served at different times. It was extremely overpriced for the quality and amount of food you get but the atmosphere is quite a treat. Review 2: I came back a second time and changed from 3 stars to 4. I ordered the salmon and Brussel sprouts with was mid 30s price range and a shrimp cocktail (with still only 3 shrimp for 22 dollars which was pretty ridiculous price wise) but it was delicious!!!! I got a little more portion wise this time and the service was impeccable. And agian the atmosphere is amazing!!!! I didn't leave starving but I made sure to eat something before we...

My husband took me to the Vault to celebrate our 52 anniversary! We were both born and raised here. We left for college and careers. After 50 years away, we have retired and returned HOME! The meal was quite good. The salad delicious and twice as large as expected. The beef prepared exactly as requested. The broccoli was a large serving and steamed perfectly. Plenty of warm bread with oil and seasoning for dipping. The proportions were LARGE! The price fair and appropriate. The service was beyond extraordinary. Everyone was polite, professional, courteous and kind not to forget friendly! My only suggestion is I would like butter for my bread and potatoes... true mountain person! The desert was beautifully presented, but not tasty. I am very glad the Vault is here and offers such incredible service. I will definitely return! The wine offered for anniversary celebration was a very considerate touch! All employees sincerely appreciated and deserve many positive...

My wife and I dined here on St. Patrick's Day 2022 and the food and service was wonderful! We took advantage of the St. Patrick's Day specials being offered. We shared the Buttermilk Fried Calimari as an appetizer and it was delicious and would order again.

I had the special Irish Whiskey Black Angus Ribeye with Truffle Fries and Bacon Brussel Sprouts. My Wife had the Shepard's Pie. Both were exceptionally good! For dessert we shared the Irish Spice Cake and as an additional treat, we tried the Key Lime Pie. This is no ordinary Key Lime Pie, either. It ranks as one of the best we ever had and should be a must try if on the menu!

Special thanks to General Manager Tony Fausto and his staff for treating us so well. We'd be remiss if we didn't also give a shout out to Chef Chris and Sous Chef Ryan and their team for such delicious menu...
