The Vault

A Luxe FiDi Restaurant Arrives Next Week in the Bank of America Building | Eater SF

"Set to open Wednesday, April 24 for lunch and dinner, the Vault is a fine-dining restaurant from the Hi Neighbor Group moving into a former bank vault in a bustling downtown neighborhood that has relatively fewer fine-dining options. Chef Robin Song has planned a menu with luxury ingredients and a raw bar that lists uni ($18), oysters ($20 for six), and caviar ($70/ounce), plus beef tartare ($17) and a 28-day dry-aged Flannery Beef ribeye ($49). I see it as the group's most upscale project so far: a 160-seat, windowless space with carefully designed lighting, private wine and liquor lockers for building workers, a big bar and lounge for cocktails from Tyler Groom, and wines curated by Jason Kirmse and Lucas Bierbower. There's also a weekday happy hour (Mon–Fri, 4–6 p.m.) with discounted martinis, beer, wine, and snacks, and menus for lunch, dinner, and desserts from pastry chef Tara Lewis." - Ellen Fort
