This was a surprise. We live locally and have walked past so many times. The menu has been revamped since we last really looked so we gave it a try.
We will be back. The food was fantastic quality, beautifully presented and well priced. The seafood was so fresh!
The wait staff are lovely. We stayed late and ended up chatting to the chef who is very passionate about good food and wine and willing to tailor the menu for events - even small ones.
Will definitely book a high tea in the Vault dining room. It looks amazing.
Espresso martini's ... amazing!!
Great venue and such a lovely outlook over the park and marina towards the city. Delicious food, fantastic atmosphere AND awesome staff!!
It's now one of our fave local spots.
Highly recommend
We decided to go to the vault for lunch on a sunny weekend afternoon as some friends of our recommended it to us. We sat out front with a view of the park. When ordering our meals we asked a few questions about the menu and if the waiter had any recommendations. The young boy who served us was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended a few things that were the best and most ordered meals. On his recommendation we ordered the beef that comes out on a hot plate and the seafood pasta. The place was very busy and we could see why the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly even though it was busy the service was still very good. When clearing the table the waiter even asked what we thought of the food and if we enjoyed what he recommended to us. We will come back for sure the food is great and the young waiter we had was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu.
I had lunch here with my family on warm Sunday afternoon in early October. We were greeted by the very friendly host, shown to our table for six, and promptly given a wine list and menus. We ordered the seafood platter for four, the pork ribs and lobster spaghetti (from the specials menu). The seafood was definitely a highlight as well as the very welcoming and friendly staff. Will definitely return to The Vault next time we’re in Williamstown! Thanks for a lovely afternoon!
Went for.lunch and had burger for 12 dollars. It was very yami and nice and crispy fries. Very good customer service. Will be back for shore .
Me and my girlfriend came for dinner one evening and we loved the food I had the lamb shank and my girlfriend had the risotto. We was greeted at the door by a friendly member of staff he went through the menus and told us what menu was for what. The food came quite quickly and we had no complaints we was asked if we wanted desserts or coffee but we declined and we actually got talking to the guy who was looking after us as he was from England and we wondered how long he had been working there for. Gary was very good he always smiled and was very attentive and looked after us well he even let us have a look the the little Vault room and talked about when it was used. All in all good food and very good service. Thanks Gary the evening was brilliant
We happened to be in Williamstown today and decided to pop into the Vault. It was very busy for lunch thats what actually made us go in. The food was very good and the boy who served us was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. The only complaint we had was that we waited a while for our food then the girl took it to the wrong table. When we went to a member of staff to complain about this he was very good he made sure we got our food as soon as possible and was very apologetic. He said it would be the next table out and came within 5 mins. I'm not sure if he was the manager but he was brilliant with us even when we had a slight complaint he went out of his way to correct the problem. If you could say thankyou to your member of staff for his service I don't know his name but he had an English accent even with the food going to the wrong table he was very good in dealing with the problem
Lovely place , the best burger in town. Very good service staff, very welcome. Very busy time coming, service very fast, nice food and reasonalble price. Will b back with friends.
Get the pulled pork rotti. Great value and delicious. Service ok. Location perfect. Loved it. Beer was cold too. Really enjoyed the ambience too
Pros: the special for the day was soba noodle and baked salmon and boy.. what an enjoyable meal! Loved every bit of it. Flavours were definitely a hit and the dressing was light but seasoned well. The salmon was made amazingly well, skin crispy, salmon moist (so I can imagine the other fishes on the menu would be cooked well also). The honey glazed oysters was different and worth a try. The waygu burger had great flavours. Staff were very friendly and catering (one of the staff asked if my milkshake was sweet and if I wanted extra milk).
Cons: the waygu beef burger was dry.
We have lunch with friend yesterday.Staff are friendly,smiling and in good mood.food is delicious .I’d like to recommend the Vault on Nelson to my friends
.
This place feels a bit understated from out the front but the food is of excellent quality. Large, old grandeur building with a quiet atmosphere (for lunch anyway). Had the lobster pasta and steak but would be confident all dishes would be great on the back of those two. Loved it.
Came pretty early, before 6pm on Saturday, only a few tables were occupied. Staff were professional, very friendly and attentive. Didn't have to wait long for our dishes to arrive. The cheese & garlic pita bread were very nice, it's soft but doesn't lose its shape, the cheese and garlic has a nice balance. The seafood platter were nice too, have a good combination of seafood, it would be perfect if it has less "fish and chips" though. The sticky date pudding was nice too, not too sweet, however some parts towards the bottom were a bit tough. Overall we enjoyed our experience here tonight.
Amazing oysters, very fresh. The lamb rump was an excellent variety of flavours on one plate. Friendly & helpful staff. Atmosphere was also above par. All in all, recommend for a visit. Thanks!
Had a lovely lunch with my partner for our anniversary. The food was amazing and the staff were very helpful. Would highly recommend for any occasion
Awesome food and wholesome portions, def will return!
Very good brekky. They had a 2 for 1 deal today and it was a massive meal. Tasty and filling. Wonderful.
we had the best time on mothers day with our high tea booking. we were seated upstairs and the space looked so elegant and beautiful. the downstairs restaurant was completely full when we arrived and upstairs looked like it was fully booked too, to our surprise and benefit, this did not effect service or quality of food at all. the staff looked calm and organised and the scones and sandwiches were absolutely delicious!! when i looked around at the other tables, they all seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as we were. would definitely recommend this place to friends. great high tea, and great service with a smile. A+ to the team there. cant wait to come back and try the main menu!!!!
