My friend and I stopped in for the first time early Thursday evening. The space has a relaxed, modern vibe, and aside from a few people at the bar, we had the place to ourselves.
We started with the wings, which are beer-brined for 24 hours. Hot and tender, coated in a tasty BBQ sauce, they were enjoyable, but could have used a bit more crisp.
Next were the chicken nachos, made with corn tortilla chips topped with beer cheese fondue, chipotle aioli, mango pico de gallo, hibiscus pickled onion, and micro cilantro. The ingredients were fresh, well-proportioned, and evenly distributed. This is exactly how nachos should be done.
For my main, I went with the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, crispy chicken topped with hot honey, buttermilk ranch, and dill pickles.
My friend went with the Vault Burger, cooked to a perfect medium and topped with caramelized onions, Vault sauce, dill pickles, cooper sharp, lettuce, and tomato.
All handhelds come with a salad, but we upgraded to fries, which arrived fresh out the fryer.
Everything we tried was solid, the service was on point, and there are plenty of dishes I still want to try. I’ll be back.
While we were seated promptly, the initial efficiency quickly gave way to a puzzling lapse in service. For 25 minutes, no member of the staff acknowledged our table, not to offer water, explain the delay, or even make eye contact. Eventually, we relocated ourselves to the bar without notifying anyone, a move that went entirely unnoticed. For a dining room of this acclaim, the absence of basic attentiveness was striking.
At the bar, the welcome proved equally tepid. The bartender appeared disengaged, projecting the sense that hospitality was an obligation rather than a craft. The IPAs I sampled lacked character and depth, presenting as flat and forgettable in a market where thoughtful curation and freshness should be standard.
One bright note emerged in the Brussels sprouts, which were well-prepared and confidently seasoned, a dish that hinted at the kitchen’s potential. Yet a single success could not offset the broader impression of disorganization and indifference.
In the end, what should have been a promising evening felt instead like a poorly orchestrated operation resting on a reputation it did not earn that night. I left disappointed, still wondering how such high praise aligns with such an uneven experience.
It was Easton restaurant week, so went with the special menu, starting with Brie Quesadilla with brown sugar pecan praline. This was excellent, but a large portion considering dinner entree and dessert were also included. Took half home.
Up next, the entree, pistachio crusted salmon with whole grain mustard spatzle, roasted romanesco, and pomegranate in a beer butter reduction. The flavors were great, unfortunately the salmon was a little over. Otherwise this would have been an excellent dish.
For dessert, pretzel bread pudding with a stout caramel sauce. This was tasty and the stout caramel sauce was outstanding. It was dense and too much to finish after the salmon, so took half home. The waiter was nice enough to accommodate sending a bit more sauce home with me too.
Had two flights of 4 beers each, sampling from a wide variety of styles. IPAs, hazy IPAs, lagers, pilsners, Czech dark, mild dark, and stouts. All were good to great with the IPAs being the best of the bunch.
The appetizers we ordered to share among 4 of us was done so well! Calamari was lightly dressed with unique cilantro dressing with kumquat and radish (delicious combination). Thai brussel sprouts was also uniquely done with a satay sauce and pickled veggies! Even the ordinary sounding fall salad wasn’t too heavy with the pumpkin and light sage vinaigrette. The bolognese cavatelli was delicious! We also ordered fish and chips and that was done almost British style with the fried in ‘paper’ cone and fish lightly battered and freshly hot! We’ll definitely be back!
I always like to take pictures of the food. Being a photographer, food photography has always been my favorite so I took a few pictures. Love the food. It was good and the staff is super friendly
We ordered multiple flights, and truly enjoyed all of the beers.
Best craft brewery we have ever been to. 100% recommended for everyone.
