Best American Restaurants in Albany

We have lived in Albany since 2005, and only recently in the last year, discovered the vault. Over the years we had heard of this fine restaurant during casual conversations with people, so finally we decided to find out what kind of place it was and we’re pleasantly surprised at how nice and cozy the restaurant is. More than that the drinks are fabulous, the service is excellent and the food is amazing. I love the Brussels, the salmon and fish dinners are amazing with perfect presentation… but my husband loves the brisket burger the most. I highly recommend The Vault for all occasions. You will not be disappointed!!

Had an early dinner on Christmas Eve, and enjoyed every part of the meal. We had a Caesar salad, fish and chips, and a NY steak. Both entrees were delicious, and the salad was fantastic (super fresh and the dressing was bright and flavorful). Service was great, everyone working seemed to be actually enjoying their jobs (even on a holiday!).

Celebrated a birthday. We had an early reservation and everyone was lovely! Food was great:)

Small delay in seating despite having reservation; food very good, generous portions; entrees selected benefitted from Mediterranean influence.

The service and the food were excellent. The noise level was a bit high due to the open floor plan but the ambiance was very comfortable. We will be back.
