The Vault Wine Bar - Bistro & Event Space

"Great food, Kitchen is a win, but portion size could improve. Wines are great too, but service is sub standard after many visits, and the owner is often drinking & eating vs making sure customers are the focus. If service could be tightened up, it’s closer to 4.5 stars."

"The Vault is a posh upscale restaurant in Blaine. The food is plated perfectly, and the chef knows how to prepare and deliver a delicious meal. In a time when its so difficult to maintain motivated experienced staff, the Vault runs smoothly with their passionate staff delivering excellent customer service throughout the dining experience. I cannot forget to mention the 'generous' wine pours. I've had both bottles of wine from Europe and the house wine from one of the award winning wineries in Washington. Tonight I enjoyed the house Burgundy and it was not what you'd expect from a house wine, easily a $22-24 glass in Bellevue or Kirkland. My family and I love the Vault! If you're in Blaine...don't hesitate to give the Vault a try. The prices are quite modest and the dining experience won't easily be forgotten. You will return time and time again."

"Wasn't sure what to expect being that I personally not a wine drinker, however, I had a very pleasant experience with my wife. The day we went they had a wine pairing. I was amazed how well thought out their pairings were. Wines I'd of never drank otherwise were so well compimented/enhanced with the food pairing for each dish. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was very quiet and enjoyable to sit together and chat. They also have a very good selection of liquors for looking for something other than wine."

"Highly recommend if you are in the area for a delightful food+wine experience. They are doing a multi-course menu with wine pairing on Saturdays at an incredible price point (we’re used to 3-4x the amount in Seattle) where the creativity of the chef, local ingredients, and wine knowledge shines through. They also have an alternative pairing with fresh pressed juices that’s amazing if you don’t want wine."
