The Vault Restaurant

Wow, what a fun little place! We were just in town for the night and walked in without reservations, they graciously accomodated us at a cozy little side table, (read really close together). Appetizer of spinach dip was very good with both chips and bread slices. Dear husband got a Cobb salad with fried chicken on it that had beautiful pink eggs! Loved that touch. My Steak Frittes were perfectly cooked and delicious! The prices are very reasonable for what you get. I was mesmerized by the waiters carrying food up this amazing spiral staircase. Seems like they have 2 rooms and a patio they serve on. Enjoyable!

Had brunch here on Valentine's day. The building is pretty cool. I was really disappointed in the slow service and the quality of the food and drinks. I don't usually write reviews, but I felt that the restaurant should know that the food was cold. It took 20.minutes to get water. Another 20 minutes for the drinks to come and had to tell ask if server was our server and that we wanted to order food. When it arrived, it was Luke warm at best, dried out, and rubbery. Had the hot honey chicken and French toast and the classic breakfast. The eggs were like a flying saucer and rubbery. Bacon was good. Biscuit tasted like the box mix. Potatoes weren't bad. Had a couple of pain killers and couldn't hardly drink them. Just disappointed from everything I had heard about the place.

The Vault Restaurant was a great experience. My family and I were here for brunch. Great Mimosas and a great meal! I had the salmon with the poached eggs on a bed of spinach and ciabatta bread and some cooked potatoes. It was really good. Very delicious. The patio is very nice!, overall just a really great place to take a date or your family or whatever the occasion is. Thank you so much for the great service and the great atmosphere. We will see you again!

This place is great! The vegan choices are amazing, the atmosphere is wonderful, and dessert was top notch! They have mixed dying so vegans and non-vegans can enjoy dinner together! Some friends from work gathered us for this dinner, and it was great!

Quick seating when Cherry Street was packed. Easy covered free parking. We were quick to be seated and our wait person was fast with menus & drinks. Food was served fresh with little wait time. Then our wait person disappeared. No water refills or check in to make sure we didn’t need anything. Even after they tended the table right next to us. The chairs weren’t comfortable to sit & visit. We had the Cuban & Cobb Salad with Salmon. All were very delicious. Prices were comparable to other restaurants. We spent $60 for 2 entrees, appetizer & 1 beer. We’ll give the Vault another go. Maybe it was just an off night Monday right before Christmas.

A celebration of what well-done mid century modern is like! (it's actually "cool, groovy, and hip man!" 😎)The food is really well prepared (the brunch Cuban sandwich, and the apple bourbon cobbler skillet is 👨‍🍳😘

The Vault in Tulsa is such a fun spot! The vibe makes you want to linger, sip, and soak it all in. We ordered the Bank Teller Pasta, and it was comforting and flavorful, though I’d personally add a bit more sauce and salt the noodles to really elevate it. The presentation was charming, the service genuinely friendly, and the atmosphere lively without being overwhelming. I definitely want to come back to try the brunch menu, it sounds just as tempting as the dinner offerings. Overall, a solid meal and a great experience, I’ll happily return to see what other hits I can discover!

Awesome place, cool vibe, not sure if it was our table's distance from the kitchen, but my food was delivered cold. We still ate it, we had a play to get to at the PAC. It was good food, just not very warm at all. Cool place though.

Food and atmosphere were great, and our server was attentive, friendly and professional.

The food was great & very interesting building. Great service as well! You will like dinning inside an old Bank!

We came during our quick trip to Tulsa and enjoyed our time here! Our servers were wonderful and provided helpful recommendations. I ordered the lunch combo with the Vault Pasta & Chicken Noodle Soup, and it was perfect for the cool weather. The flavors complemented one another well. We ordered carrot cake per friend's recommendation, and it's the best I've had - flavorful and not overly sweet. The floor-to-ceiling windows gave a very inviting ambiance. Will definitely be back next time!

The breakfast is "par excellance " cooked perfectly to your liking vegetarian to carnivore. I am a second hand carnivore. Cows eat grass, I eat cows. Biscuits and gravy ummm, yeah In Tulsa for the annual Harvest Moon Ball at the Doubletree downtown and needed some sustenance for a long trip afterwards this filled the bill beautifully.The server was excellent and helpful, perfect. This was formerly a bank in downtown Tulsa. It has been transformed into an upscale type diner restaurant. It's very lively with an eclectic clientele, fun people watching too ! My partner and I met some beautiful girls while having brunch and turned our brunch into a party, drinks and all. Wonderful place you need to experience it too, go !

Welcome to The Vault in Tulsa.... This historic building was once a bank. There are two levels, a bar, and a view on the second level. Not many vegan options but there were cauliflower wings that were not so good. I was a little disappointed due to the nature of the finished product. Very soggy, I was expecting crispy wings. The manager was a doll and took my constructive criticism to the kitchen so that they could improve on the recipe. As a chef, I did offer a little advice.

Even though the place was packed and buzzing with energy, the staff handled everything impressively well. Our waitress was juggling several tables but still made sure our food and drinks came out quickly and with a smile. The food was delicious -- every dish had great flavor -- and the cocktails were served in cool vintage-style glasses that matched the retro theme perfectly. The entire place has this nostalgic 60s and 70s vibe that makes it feel like stepping back in time. Our table was actually an old bank counter, which was such a fun detail. We absolutely loved the experience!

Loved the vibe, the food, the drinks, the service. Just a cool place. Nothing fancy but fun and funky.

Great spot for a date night or even a group get-together! Our waitress was incredibly kind and hospitable. Yummy apps and drinks!

My gfs avocado looked grilled (spoiled). My blt was good. Better breakfast potatoes than expected. We didn't get our silverware or pancake syrup for 5 minutes after food was delivered. Ambiance is very bright. Clean vibes. Impressed? No. Happy? Yes.

Disgusting, hate it Meh liked it but needs improvement really like it. Definitely going back LOVED IT!!! Overall, we all liked it. Our friend really enjoyed her French toast. She also ordered the Pink Squirrel drink, which sounded odd but turned out to be really good. A little in the sweet side. The farmers brunch was good but cold as though it had been sitting while waiting on the other dishes. The biscuit and gravy didn't have much flavor and was also cold. The top shelf Benny was good. Opted for the polenta cake instead of ciabatta bread. Solid choice. However, the salmon was overcooked leaving it dry. Nice place inside. A tad loud. Will ask to sit outside next time. Our server a sweet girl who was always there when we needed her. Will give it another go. Maybe for dinner next time.

I have been back mainly for the drink night classes and have always enjoyed it. Went for drinks the other night before an event and they make really nice drinks and the spinach dip is awesome.

Old faithful! Love brunch here. Unfortunately the salmon Benedict lacked flavor This last go round but overall it's such a fun spot, great and open location (love the upstairs), great brunch cocktails too! Service is never an issue here either. Will always recommend the vault!!

Looking up this place on yelp Great interior. 60s swanky vibe with modern pieces. Everyone was super friendly- from the hostess to the waiter The pineapple upside down cake was warm and tasty

Great food and atmosphere! Selena took care of us and gave great suggestions. Unique location , much different than many restaurants in the area. Cocktails had inventive names and were made to perfection ! The spinach and heart of palm dip was simply the best starter dip we have ever had. Dip was delicious and had a kick. Toast points were on point! Ha Spinach tortilla chips were amazing. It was perfect!

Truly one of my favorite restaurants in town. The service is always exceptional, and the food never misses. Plus I love the nostalgia! We recently tried their brunch, and it was fabulous!

This place is fabulous. It has a great 60s retro vibe with an open air feel. The service was incredible. Sophia was super friendly and kept my coffee topped off. I had the avocado toast 3 ways and it exceeded my expectations. I ordered crispy bacon and I received crispy bacon. This was a great choice for a Sunday brunch.

Amazing Top Tear service, from the staff and and the invirement And the food was cooked to perfection, food came out quick and hot, the dessert was an amazing, definitely will be back this is without a doubt a Tulsa staple.

This is a go-to place for cocktails before we go to dinner somewhere else. I'm not sure why that really is. We've always had great bar service here. We tried the cheese fries and luckily the server suggested we add the Buffalo cauliflower on top. SOOOOO glad we took her advice. The fries would have been totally pedestrian without that addition. I tried the Ponzi Scheme and it was good. On the second round I decided to try the Gin & Jam. Again, upon the bartender's suggestion, I went with the apple-bacon jam. Totally interesting in a good way BUT know it is probably an acquired taste.

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about the host Alex he worked Thursday night on the 22nd and he is genuinely the best employee I have ever met he needs to cherished. He is gracious. He is kind me and my sister came in to eat looking for cover because someone was following us downtown and he took it upon himself to walk the perimeter of the entire establishment to make sure we were safe before we needed to go home. There are no words to describe how awesome Alex is please please please give him a raise. He is the most astonishing human I have encountered. Stunning, stunning, personality and faith and humanity restored he is such a gentleman.

This place is beautiful and clean. The food was good . I had the capri pasta w a Caesar salad, it was intriguing taste probably won't try again but if you like vinegar pasta try it. The chicken sandwich was good and the hamburger too . Their dessert is yummy. The service was good. I'd come back again to try breakfast!

Wasn't very impressed. Food was cold when it got to us. Steaks were way overcooked but didn't want to send them back because it took awhile to get our food. Food was average.

Love! The breakfast options are great: scrambled eggs are moist, and their pancake stacks are fluffy.

I love the brunch at this place. Every time we go the food is so good. There's so many great options and I enjoy it every time. The service is on point. The place is such a beautiful place to sit and look out all the glass at downtown. I love the vintage feel And it's just always a great time and great food.

Stopped by before the James Taylor concert. Had reservations, got seated at 5:20 pm. We ordered burgers and sandwiches. Over an hour later nothing. I'm about to leave so I don't miss the concert.

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Tulsa. Even though I mainly live in Norman Oklahoma, my boyfriend does live in Tulsa so we decided to go here for a date night. The restaurant itself has a cool 60s feel to it with everything being on point. We had a reservation at 5:15 but got there early which was not a problem. Their specialty cocktails are $11 and my God are they worth it. We asked our server what he recommended for a cocktail on their specialty menu, and he recommended the alimony payment. This cocktail is easily in my top three. We also ordered the mac & cheese as an appetizer which was delicious. My boyfriend got just a simple Caesar salad and a chicken sandwich to go, and both were fantastic. They have seasonal menus, so I got the salmon cakes and they were so so good. I absolutely love this place in Tulsa from the vibes to the cocktails to the food and our server was absolutely incredible!!

What a fun Mother's Day celebration two days later because every day is Mother's Day!! The service was outstanding the environment was hipster and the food was worth coming back for!

A very cute brunch place to enjoy with friends on the weekends. Food was good and they prepared it quite quickly. Also, the building is very unique.

A quick walk from the Hyatt before a concert at the BOK! We enjoyed the Brischetta trio and the shared the Pasta with Sausage. Both were great! The Prosecco and Maple Old Fashioned were also amazing!

1st time here let's see how we get on. Chelsea, great welcome at the bar. Cool vibe great menu food was on point. 4 stars just because you have to shoot for the moon. Keep up the great work. CHELSEA 5 STARS

The food and the service were excellent. We went there for a date night and it did not disappoint.

I love this little spot! I've had great service and good eats every visit. I definitely recommend for brunch or dinner!

The Vault first Mother's Day Brunch was a really fun, nice, experience. The service staff was attentive and friendly to help out. Worked well for handicapped people and those who had difficulty getting around. I would go back in a heartbeat. Can't wait to see what food they bring next. Two twirling forks review!

such an incredible experience!! all the food was so hot and yummy, and the drinks were delish! menu was very accessible noting gluten free, vegan, and nut allergy options. very inclusive environment and everyone was so kind! AND jackie took great care of us!!! would highly recommend and WILL be back!!!

Food and drinks were absolutely wonderful! We also had a wonderful server. I would highly recommend their brunch on the weekend. Ambiance is very trendy and hip

This location has its own parking lot. The building itself has a very cool design. We were seated quickly. We ordered some appetizers and cocktails. Oddly our food arrived before our drinks and we were pretty much done with the food before our drinks arrived, there were only a few other tables so it wasn't overtly busy. The fries were good. The cocktail names are a lot of fun, I got my first and only alimony payment. It was tasty but small for the price.

OMG!!! This is the best gluten feee and Vegan spot I have ever eaten at!! You can customize you entrees to accommodate any dietary needs including low and no lectin foods. I had the polenta dish with no polenta with veggie noodle substitute it was phenomenal! My boo had the barbecue pulled pork sobe dish; he left not a crumb on the plate. Our server Ricki was very knowledgeable and personable. The outdoor seating was open and yet cozy! We will definitely be back.

So, so good! Such a sexy, sleek, romantic atmosphere. Service is quick, portions appropriate

1st impression (5 min) : Staff/owner don't take no bs from customers ...really kick someone out at 6:30pm for offensive language before Italian cocktail class even started. (Personally we Southern women respect a successful woman owned business in Tulsa, not shying down from being strong & self assertive. 2nd impression (15 min) : the show host had done her homework extensively and was available after class to answer questions and politely charm guests. Definitely worth coming for the next class 1,000% just avoid the food which is painful for me to admit . I'm 3rd impression: they need a new Exec chef as almost every appetizer is formed around a sh* cheese or mushy dip. Definitely do not recommend eating dinner here, so we bounced on down to sisserou's for dinner. The app menu was straight embarrassing & lacks identity. Buffalo Cauliflower= yum

Food and service were good. Loved the atmosphere - very cool historical building. They've kept the vibe and managed to retain the charm of the old auto bank. They've kept even have an old "board room" upstairs you can reserve for groups.

If you're looking for a unique, fun location downtown - this a great spot! Locally owned and in an old bank, the owners really had fun here! They played into the mid-century modern vibe and many of their drinks play into the fact the building is an old bank vault! The avocado toast 3 ways is fun, the bruschetta one is my favorite. For brunch we enjoy the brunch burger, eggs 2 ways, and if you like unique takes on French toast you'll enjoy that!

Fun and funky atmosphere, menu and excellent service and recommendations from the bar staff! Loved it!

My Favourite brunch spot in downtown Tulsa with healthy options and lots of room for large groups. This was a former bank. Must Do: 1) Sit upstairs 2) love the poach eggs and kale salad 3) scramble eggs are like an omelet... I don't think I like that 4) more sausage please 5) yes to the vegetarian biscuit and gravy even though I'm not a vegetarian 6) I do not like French toast but it's a thing here Hot tip: awesome brunch/day date place

Holy Cow talk about the Beees Knees. WOW come here & get yourself GREAT food. a relaxing beverage. I recommend Crown on the rocks & a juicy Ribeye steak, YEHAA. What a way to start the weekend, Come aboard & load up the Vault. your place for satisfaction, yippee I Kyaay,

Shockingly reasonably priced for a sit down restaurant downtown with good food, this locally owned gem is a fun retro spot tucked into what used to be a 1950s drive through bank. They have delightful nods to the past, such as using the old counters you'd get deposit slips at for tables. Service was attentive with excellent attention to details and recommendations. Will definitely return. Started with a small Drive Through Salad and it was amazing. Light, fresh and refreshing, just what I wanted with a vinaigrette that was perfectly zesty but not overbearing and roasted pecans. The chicken entree, had delicious flavor, but have to knock a star off because the mashed potato's fell flat especially since they were cold. Pointed this out to the server who apologized, but a replacement side was never offered, which would have been nice because let's face it, cold mashed potato's are just going in the microwave. My dining partners had the Cuban sandwiches. Overall the sandwich was tasty, but a Cuban it was not. Cubans should have Swiss cheese, not cheddar, and it was served on a ciabatta roll, which while good, was a far cry from hot pressed French/cuban bread. I get artistic license, but this sandwich departs a little too far from a a true Cuban to be called one, or at least not have a twist on the name, of course I may just be picky because I've spent a lot of time eating Cuban in Tampa.

A good place to grab lunch. There was six in our group and it was a fantastic day to dine outside. We started with the Bruschetta 3 ways - highly recommend, I also ordered Cheese Fries for the table (would not recommend) the fries did not have enough cheese to make it worthy to called them Cheese Fries. For lunch I choose the Top Shelf Burger. I asked for medium rare - they missed the mark on that! The burger was tasty but the brioche bun did not hold up and was soggy on the bottom half way through. I picked the Auto Bank Salad as my side and that one definitely hit the mark. Our server was on top of everything and the wait time for the food was reasonable.

Don't go here if you're not white (or can't pass as white). I'm pasting an email I wrote to the owner below: I'm writing to inform you about my experience at your restaurant last night. I moved to Tulsa one month ago and went to your restaurant in part to celebrate my birthday but also in part to welcome an out-of-town speaker to the city who will be leading a panel discussion next week. Because I took an Uber, I know exactly what time I arrived (otherwise I wouldn't be keeping a watch on how long service takes). We were seated immediately and brought waters right away. However, after 20 minutes, nobody came to take our drink order, check on us, or take our food order. At one point there were 5 employees milling about, but none of them looked at us (other tables were given drinks, checks, etc.). At first I thought it was just simply poor (slow) service. However, when another group arrived (22 minutes after we were seated), they were given waters and their orders were immediately taken. The only difference between us and all other patrons in the restaurant--including those who were just seated--is that the person I was with was not white. Because of this, the only conclusion I can draw is that the entire staff's complete commitment to ignoring us is driven by racism.  While I understand that you cannot "fix" a person's deep-seated fear, ignorance, and hatred, you can control whether or not you hire them to practice and inflict their racism on your customers.  We did ask the hostess as we were leaving whether we were supposed to order at the bar (although we knew that wasn't the case). She said no and asked if nobody came to check on us "after we got our food." We told her nobody ever came to take our order at all and she did seem genuinely shocked (in her defense). Obviously I will not be returning, even though I alone can pass as white (although I am not). I am not sure if you share your staff's views, but if you do not you might want to know about this. For the record, the server who gave us waters and then ignored us--and then went on to give waters to the new table and quickly took their orders--has long black hair and was wearing glasses. Oddly enough, she, too, appeared to not be white. So perhaps there was some acute self-loathing happening in her particular case. I cannot, of course, speak for four other staff members who completely ignored us. Hoping your treatment of customers improves for the sake of others,

The Vault is a female-owned eclectic downtown Tulsa eatery serving classic American eats and craft cocktails. Libby Billings is also the owner of Elote Cafe and Catering, located within walking distance of The Vault. The Vault is housed in the former First National Auto Bank building, and the eatery pays homage to its mid-century structural roots while telling a story of urban revitalization and modernization in its esthetics and menu. Customer service was exceptional, the staff was warm, welcoming, and field questions regarding the menu. Lunch came out extremely fast. I had the Cauliflower Wings, Lunch Combo with BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and Autobank Salad, and the Mac & Cheese. The style of the Mac & Cheese is definitely a nod to the Mac & Cheese of the 60s and 70s, as it is not the baked version and has very fine breadcrumbs. While it was very creamy, I would have liked more flavor and I did miss the gooey baked cheese. I would return for the Cauliflower Wings. They are not shy on the hot sauce and are prepared in a way that you know you are eating cauliflower. If I were to be picky, I would ask my wings to be a little crispier. Green Goddess dressing is not my favorite dressing, but was an interesting choice of side sauce. The Autobank Salad looked great on the menu - who wouldn't love apples, strawberries, mint, basil, candied pecans and feta cheese? The salad needed a tangier dressing and I missed the mint and basil that was advertised on the menu. I liked the texture of the carrot-cauliflower slaw, but I was looking for more acidity in the slaw to balance out the sweetness of the BBQ sauce. The pork was solid but not memorable. I like the story behind The Vault and its vibe and would come back to try their cocktails and dessert.

The Sunday Brunch food was all excellent and the prices were within current market range. I was disappointed that when asked if I could substitute my side I was told yes without being told of an up-charge but that is becoming more common. Overall a great meal with great surroundings in one of my favorite cities.

Call me old fashioned, but working almost 2 decades in the service industry... if you have a reservation ahead of time, the wait for a table should be minimal to none. We traveled all the way to Tulsa to celebrate our anniversary. Precisely selected locations ahead of time to make reservations at to really have a romantic weekend. The Vault was on the top of our list after reading so many great reviews. We show up to our reservation time and the host informs us that there is a 30-45 minute wait still. Turns out this restaurant also hosts wedding receptions? You would think that if they are going to close off half the restaurant for a private wedding reception - that they would have adjusted the amount of reservations that their system allows during that timeslot. Very disappointed and we left hungry. This ricocheted into a sporadic evening due to other timed events we had planned and the need to find a new restaurant to eat at. Thankfully we had each other and we could have eaten Taco Bell and been happy, but this just isn't cool. I hope the Vault updates/limits their reservation system when they host private events.
