The Wine Vault

What an amazing place! The ambiance, the quality of the fish board, the scallops, and the dessert were all just delicious and top quality. Josh and his wife know what they are doing! This place is a perfect date night spot! Josh's knowledge of everything we had was top notch. He was very attentive to what we requested.

This is a wonderful place to have dinner -- particularly a romantic date night. The restaurant is small, but inviting, and the staff is marvelous.We've eaten here many times -- at the bar; at a table; outside -- and without exception, the food has been absolutely spot on. Their specials are always creative and fresh -- particularly their fish specials.And the wine? Forget about it! You should have many things to choose from, depending on you mood.Give it a try -- I don't think you'll be anything but happy!

Nice place when in town. Good food but not amazing. I've never had a steak tartare that looks like I what I posted. Gnocchi were dense. Sangria is always basic. I would return for a drink maybe!

Chez Francois gets a lot of recognition as a fine dining restaurant in Vermillion, and it is very good; but The Wine Vault should be in that discussion as well! Fine dining, perfect portions, great food, and reasonable prices!The Wine Vault has both indoor and patio seating. We typically sit at the bar and chat with one of the managers who we ended up having common soccer friends with. Everyone is very attentive and friendly; both seating areas offer a relaxing, modern ambiance. Start with the lobster bisque. It's great and unlike some bisques out there, you get a good portion of actual lobster. I typically go with the hanger surf and turf (my favorite dish) or the filet. And it is always fresh! My wife had the shrimp tacos and she really enjoyed them. The portions aren't huge, but they are just right. If you are really hungry, add the scallops to any dish for about $12. They are excellent. The Wine Vault is one of our go-to's in the great town of Vermillion!

This place is amazing! Greeted warmly as we entered, made us feel like regulars immediately! Patrons and staff were all friendly, it was an incredible vibe and a perfect ambiance to have our anniversary dinner. The food and wine were all 5-star, presentation was great and taste perfect. This is a must stop for anyone around Vermillion, OH!

I've been meaning to try this place for a few years and I'm so disappointed in myself for not getting there sooner. It is wonderful. Highly recommend reservations.The ambience was great, the service was wonderful, the food was even better. The wine selection is reasonable in terms of quality and price. We had sangria's that were fresh made and delicious. We started with the lobster bisque soup and also got scallops with lobster, an upgrade suggested by James, as well as the special menu item lobster roll with fries and truffle aïoli. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and while this place is small, hence the reservation recommendation, don't let it fool you, this place is amazing. They do have a tent outback with additional tables that has heat and a fan, and I imagine that it will be reasonably comfortable during the summer as well.We will definitely be returning to the wine vault.

I will definitely be back! We stopped in for a quick drink and were surprised by the great wine list and unique atmosphere. This was an old bank and they have kept some of the original elements such as the vault, the high ceilings, etc.They feature a wide variety of wines from around the world, a large selection of micro brews and an array of cocktails. Although we just had some wine, the other drinks and food looked great. They have an interesting menu and I cannot wait to come back to try the food.Josh the bartender treated us like we were longtime customers, very warm and friendly. Thanks Josh!This place is tiny, so it is recommended to call ahead and make reservations.

Tiny cozy place. Best to make reservations. Unique menu and friendly atmosphere. Little pricey but great for a nice evening out. Also has a patio that is heated during the cold weather. Fun to just stop in for an appetizer and glass of wine.

Great food, service. Cozy atmosphere. I've dined here a dozen or more times and always had a good experience.

Best restaurant in Vermilion that we tried! Amazing service, great selection and heated outdoor seating! We loved the cheese plate and arancini. Our waitress even brought us extra crustini to eat with our cheese plate when we ran out.
