The VAULT Bistro

So much wrong here. We were seated, and had front row seats to one of the servers yelling at another about the seating of an incoming table of six. When this table later asked to be moved inside too hot for young child on patio same server was quite rude to them.nOur server was an older lady, who was VERY pleasant and personable.nOur food though was just awful. There was nothing on our plate that didn’t taste like it had previously been frozen.nI ordered the “stuffed chicken”… which…. Wasn’t.nnIt was supposed to be a Chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella, cream cheese, jalapeño, wrapped with prosciutto in a cream sauce. Mine was by no means stuffed with anything. It was a tough, dry overcooked pale breast with an unseasoned white roux. It was served with tasteless rice and “seasonal vegetables” which were actually just four pieces of frozen bagged vegetables loaded with pepper, which I guess is their idea of seasoning.nMy companion opted for chicken parm, which tasted a wee bit better but the accompanying fettuccine Alfredo was thick and unpleasant.nNeedless to say, we’ll not be back and would not recommend to others in the area.nFive stars for the service we received - one star for everything else.

Lovely spot we found as we were passing by to Ottawa.nThe prices were reasonable. Food was excellent with lots of options. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

While spending a few days at a wedding venue nearby, I joined a group of 6 for dinner at the Vault Bistro. Service was prompt and super friendly. We had water and drinks on the table in no time. Great drink selection and my IPA was fresh and tasty. The menu items all sounded great and the food arrived rather quick. Dishes looked and tasted good. Not exceptional, but above average. Steak dishes are somewhat pricey. Overall a good place for casual dining.

Had dinner couple of days ago and the food surpassed my expectationsnI gave up on good restaurants in Ottawa but this one was wow! Had salmon , the kids got fish tacos and we literally were considering another round of dinner just to eat morenWill definitely go again ..and order more :

Went for lunch with my friend.nShe had the Vault burger which was as described in the menu and was tasty.nI had the Ahi tuna salad and I do not recommend it. First, there is barely any tuna, one to less than two ounces of thinly sliced tuna. The rest was mostly greens and no parsnip chips. Not great value for 22$. The taste was ok, but I would never eat it again or recommend it to anyone. The beer and service were perfect and the place is very nice and clean.nSo stick to beer and basic pub fare if you do not want to be disappointed.
