The Vault

This place is nice and quiet with a great view of 2^nd south. Its not nearly as swanky as everyone makes you believe though!
The Vault is attached to the back end of «Bambarra» (the hotel’s tasty restaurant.) But its dimly lit and quieter, simply decorated and still classy.
Id been wanting to try this bar for awhile, but was always told to go when i had money to burn. So imagine my surprise to find out the wine & cocktails were $ 8 & $ 14! Seems like thats a pretty standard price point.
Though if you want cocktail options, id go to «the red door» just down the street as they have way more to pick from for the same price.
If you want wine, then youre in the best spot! Tons of lovely options including dessert wines! Not just a small list on the last page in the menu, like at any other place.
The food is delicious too! You can order from the ajoining restaurant in the bar area and i highly suggest anything with thier gnocchi in it! But if you have dogs theyll love the leftovers from your steak!
The staff is super friendly and prompt! If you dont like «the Charlie» theyll dump it out and make «the Monaco» for you instead and only charge you for one! How nice is that?!

Fairly poor service, and I really didn’t appreciate being treated like a ditch and dine customer… I can’t even get a menu before giving my credit card… COME ON GUYS! This was so disappointing from waiting 10 min before anyone even acknowledging our existence, to our food arriving WAY BEFORE we got our first cocktails. We ordered a second round of cocktails, we saw them sit on the bar for a solid 10 more minutes before we decided to just cash out and leave, when they finally decided to deliver the drinks… I don’t know what to say, other than your rewards program is called Kimpton Karma Rewards, but I don’t see any good karma coming from that service.
