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.

Great restaurant in Williamstown..we tried the steak and chicken parma...both were good especially the steak and the mash potatoes were exceptional. Huge servings. What stands out though was the staff... accommodating and friendly. Love that there is outdoor seating so we could dine with our dog after a walk.

Walking past the Vault after dinner one night, we met the chef out front! After hearing how he prepared the meals, we promised we’d be back and Saturday night was the night! The Vault did not disappoint - the chef and all the staff were brilliant! The meals were sensational! As locals (Newport), we’ll be back!

We caught up for dinner with another couple who live locally. The location and the historical building is beautiful with amazing views. Indoor or outdoor seating available, function room, semi private function area and extremely private "vault" room available for 12 people. Ambience was great, the staff were welcoming and the actual owners Tom and his wife took the time to ensure we were well looked after, they are great hosts. Later we were further impressed when the Chef Douglas McPheat took the time to come out for a chat. The menu was AMAZING. Everything on the menu was desirable, from the starters to the small plates to the large/main plate, I always flick over to desserts to mentally make a note if we should move on after our meal but I immediately knew we were certainly staying for dessert! We wanted to try so many dishes, so we chose a few to share and then ordered our own main meal. Calamari on avacado with watermelon, Prawn tacos, Dips platter consisted of incredibly tasty actual HOME MADE dips, olives, bread! I had grilled Barramundi, two others had the Grilled King Salmon, and one other ordered the lamb, all dishes were beautifully presented, the detail was incredible and exciting to the palette as well as the eye. The servings were generous and we were fine dining without blowing the budget. The restaurant is licensed and drinks are very reasonably priced. Desserts! All made in house with REAL CHOCOLATE, Actual Citrus, his "soil" is brilliant, all decadent and delightful, a wonderful end to an amazing meal. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to more visits, I have liked this page to learn of any upcoming events. In any case we will certainly be there for New Year's Eve, whatever Chef Douglas decides to present on the night I'm sure we won't be disappointed. Cheers.

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!

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

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.

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.

My husband and I dined here on New Year’s Eve. We were pleasantly surprised by the food. The service was ok, being nye I guess they were busier then normal. The food was fine dining but generous. There were a few confusing items, like the steak sandwich special? Which really did not match the rest of the food menu and drinks specials which made the place seem casual. The venue is a beautiful old bank, however had some out of place casual shop features. The restaurant seemed confused between a fancy restaurant and a casual cafe. I’d like to see it more like a fancy restaurant and we’d definitely be back. We did enjoy our night.

Totally unexpected!  What looks like a typical pub grub venue surprises with mains and deserts.  The food was fine dining without the price tag and the pretense.  Tuna Yaki Nori style was suchi-like and superb.  Tempura Soft Shell Crab = Laksa without the broth was very well done.  But the best was to come - Wagon Wheel tart.  This was art, slightly deconstructed with edible flowers to boot. However, the apple crumble, panna cottar missed the mark; too big and too gelatinous.  Too add - staff were friendly, knowledgeable about the food and just right for attentiveness.  The also asked how the food was, which in my book is a sign they are genuinely interested it improving customer experience.

Had a group of 8 here and we booked out a room on the side to celebrate my 18th birthday- We were seated immediately and the friendly waitstaff were extremely nice, attentive, and helpful. As most of us were vegans and vegetarians, it was a little difficult to have a varied meal, but the chef (very friendly and kind) came out and arranged for our food. We ended up with a delicious and varied spread of foods, such as the stir fry egg noodle. As one of two of the non-vegetarians, I had the pork belly which was absolutely amazing and oozing with deliciousness, and I heard that the barramundi was especially good (thanks Greg Hopkins ). It was a quiet night, and the atmosphere was perfect for us.

Overall, a very attentive and helpful staff (especially the chef) and amazing food, and great atmosphere.

I recently had my daughters first birthday at the vault in the function room upstairs .
Where do i start so many positive things to state! Firstly booking the venue, decor classical, beautiful and elegant. Upon booking Jing the manager was very informative and throughly explained the menue and options. We opted for finger food menu. The menu has been well sorted with a large variety of options to cater for all requirements, we had a variety of dietary requirements.
The food it self was just amazing! The amount of food served and the quality was incredible! We had a team of staff serving food around with smiles and making conversation with our guests! The highlight was chef Douglas who came and spoke to our guests informing what was on offer and even serving food! Now thats service!
The bar staff also had beaming smiles and very professional.
Jing even catered for last minute changes to our set up.
Overall we and our guests had an amazing time and couldn't thank you enough for making a memorable day a breeze for us.

Lovely three course meal on a coupon deal, with wine. I had the soft shell crab which came with a lovely green salad, then the salmon with a potato and seafood salad. We finished with sticky date pudding. Delicious. Although the serves appeared small, our tummy's were full and happy when we left. Lovely service and nice venue.

I was on a Day Cruise to Williamstown and spent the day exploring the place. Out of the many restaurants around this road I settled for The Vault. It was just a random choice. I ordered the Crispy fried Soft shell crab. It was served piping hot and tasted really good. Overall the food and service was good. I felt the cost to be a little on the higher side. Nevertheless, it was a good experience.

I went to Alexanders Williamstown with my family including two little children both are good eaters only when there are right food on the table. I ordered food they normally like and hoped this lunch could go smoothly.   When the food for them was ready, I had a try and relaxed as it was very nice that they would definitely enjoy.  The dish we all loved the most was the creamy garlic prawn platter which had the perfect combination of the natural beauty of the prawn itself and the human touch with cream and garlic to boost the flavor. 

Staff members were very friendly and thoughtful.  They organised the serving in an efficient way to avoid unnecessary interruptions when we were chatting yet provided things at the right time.  

For good causal dinning at Williamstown, I will keep coming back and highly recommend others to have a visit.

We had dinner in Alexander's last night. Just travelled from city to Williamstown for a different and enjoyable Valentine's day.

The deco was pretty attractive and kind of historical. Locals told us the building was once belonging to a famous bank in Melbourne. With roses and candles on tables, the restaurant stopped us. It seemed to be quite busy night for them at that time. The front staff were attentive and helpful.

We ordered a Valentine's special package and waited for a while for the food come out. Considering it was a busy night and we didn't book our table, the waiting time was reasonable for us. Must say that the seafood platter was a highlight. It really surprised us. It was a delightful dinner. We would probably come back if we have another chance to travel here in future.

Came here for dinner, it was a nice experience. Great ambience in a historic building. The food is of a good standard, and very well priced ($19 for a chicken parma is very well priced in Williamstown, in a non-pub setting). The only downside is that the service was a little slow and not attentive enough. Oh the menu here needs updating...

We came here by accident. Yes, by accident. We were intending to go to the souvlaki place around the corner but walked right past it and into a pretty ornate, bordering on gaudy, building.

After our initial disappointment of not actually being in the restaurant that we originally wanted to be in (and we also felt too rude to walk out) ... Our expectations were pretty low. But I was pleasantly surprised by what they had on offer. We had the following:
1) Mussels. Big plate of 20-25 mussels topped with plenty of tomato sauce and cheese. I couldn't quite pinpoint the cheese ... It was like a cross between feta and goats cheese. Maybe it was both! Anyway it was yummy and exactly what I wanted. 4/5
2) Duck salad. It was unexpectedly flavoursome and the poached egg on top? Bonus! Very well done. 5/5

The only down thing is the service, which was a bit slow. And it wasn't even all that busy when we went so I guess it's just a slow, slow place. 3/5 for the service.

We went here for dinner last night (Saturday) on a voucher, which can often lower expectations - however there was absolutely no need. From the moment we walked in we were expertly waited on, staff efficient and friendly. Our voucher was for a seafood platter and bottle of wine. The wine on offer wasn't to our liking, so we chose off the menu and paid the difference - no problem. The seafood platter arrived in due course, and was a wonderful array of grilled prawns and Moreton bay bugs, seared calamari, tempura barramundi, grilled salmon and expertly cooked chips and a refreshing garden salad. It was absolutely divine and more than what 2 people could reasonably eat - very generous. We later shared a sticky date pudding - delicious- and ended with coffee and a glass each of botrytis. A lovely meal and good ambience on a cold Melbourne night - the open fire in the front room a welcoming addition. We will definitely come back - voucher or not.

Had a wonderful experience recently here we hired out the whole private dining for my wife's birthday ... WOW thank you again for providing what was promised - exceptional service, real food that still has the family talking about and a perfect atmosphere to enjoy - love the building with so much history & impressed with the staffs knowledge and love of the place ! The current owners are exceeding expectations in the area as all the other places we have tried are a total disappointment . I had the marinara and it was cooked to perfection with fresh seafood & REAL pasta ! Other favourites amongst family in the night were pork belly & duck risottos are a must to try from my wife ! The Chef treated my wife to a special birthday surprise which was very impressive and the whole experience will have us booking all our future functions with you - thanks again ! And a special mention to our waitress with the top knot that my daughter keeps trying to replicate at home :-) cheers

Popped in with my mum for a late lunch. The place is a little obscure really, with nothing much visibly alluring from the outside. A few tables and chairs on the street; common for the sidewalk cafes along the strip, and a single door entry. It's true character and charm aren't revealed until u step inside. What a charming little gem of a place this really is! It's apparent early life was as a bank, and the proprietors have cleverly transformed the old vault into a private dining area for approximately 10 guests (from memory). Mum loves her chicken parmas, and we almost stepped into a less inviting place where they had the lunchtime specials at $12. Persuading mum to look a little further, we stumbled into Alexander's where the lunchtime special was $15. I was stunned at the quantity and quality of the meals at this price! Presentation of the food was fantastic as well. I rarely take a photo of a meal, but for this one l had to :) Such was my surprise at the quality for this price. I've eaten at a few places in this area, including the one I persuaded mum to move on from. So glad I walked into Alexander's and it's now on the list of faves, even though I've not been a second time as yet. Seriously great value for a lunch time special, in a lovely little place. Taste was just as good as the presentation I might add.

Pleasantly surprised. I dined here with my mum and my partner on a Friday night. We started with the dips which were delicious, but could have done with a little more bread, or even the option to order more and half the dips were left and no more bread. The mains were absolutely delicious, I had the calamari salad, but the real winning dishes were the pork belly, not too fatty at all and the delicious prawn linguine that I will return for. We also had the beans with feta which was also yummy - we all left feeling very full. I felt the service was of good standard, but some of the staff member's could do with some extra training.
Thanks for a great meal.

Really great food and backed up with really great service too! They notified us that food might take awhile due to big group booking and we don't mind waiting but they give us complimentary pita bread & dips. The wait was not that long anyway. Then the head chef himself came out to apologize for the wait, what a great service all around! The food, Chicken breast cous cous is perfect and can't get enough of chips and aioli. GREAT!!

Love love loved Alexander's.
I had my 40th birthday here on Sat 15th March in the small room off the main restaurant which was perfect. Private but still part of the restaurant. The staff were absolutely amazing & so helpful.
The food is amazing & my guests agreed. I have been a few times & never been disappointed yet.
So sweet that staff even placed a candle in my birthday cake where I forgot. "Thank you"!!
I just hope the storm damage (not affecting main restaurants) was fixable. This is a great restaurant. Lovely atmosphere & decor with very helpful, friendly & attentive staff. I highly recommend.

Great seafood platter. I dined here recently, having bought a voucher for a seafood platter for two and wine each. The seafood platter was delicious, especially the prawns! It tasted extremely fresh, and come out very speedily (we were in and out in of the restaurant 45mins). I generally do prefer to have a more leisurely meal, but for the price paid, definitely cannot complain. We also received complimentary bread with oil and balsamic, which was a nice touch. Only other thing to mention was the serving staff seemed very young, and seemed quite green (had to flag them down repeatedly for a water refill). I would definitely dine here again, perhaps not pay full price for the seafood platter, but they had lots of other delicious sounding options.

The service was wonderful. The coffee was good. The lamb as a main for lunch was tasty. The calamari salad was not as enjoyable, a little bland. However, was overall a very good dining experience.

Good Egg. If this restaurant was an egg it would be a very good egg.

For a groupon deal, it's pretty worth it and service was still good although we're on a deal! Food was great, the fish's batter could be inproved though but overall pleasant experience.

Visited for lunch with a groupon voucher for a seafood platter. Was sceptical on the size of the platter before we went but pleasantly surprised on both the quantity and quality of the seafood. Will definitely go back.

Been here on numerous occasions - always greeted with a smile, food is great and the drinks list is extensive. The seafood is very fresh and the steak is delicious! The outside couches are a great spot to sit in the afternoon as the weather gets warmer.

Ate here this afternoon for the first time (3 adults and 1 child), and was blown away by food, pricey than the rest of the strip but worth it. We ate oysters, pork/scallops, duck risotto and seafood marinara, the seafood was so fresh and tasty and portion sizes were great a side of chips was ordered but not really required. We will definitely be back! Service was attentive and friendly! Thanks

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!

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!!!!
