    Great food and location. Open doors to the street make it a big open space.

    Everything was outstanding! I have some difficult food allergies and chef (Sara I believe) made sure everything was not only safe for me to eat but absolutely delicious as well. She even came out at the end of the night to wish us happy anniversary. We felt safe dinning there as well :)

    This is the worst customer service we have ever experienced. We were not greeted the staff seemed annoyed we were there. We will not be recommending this restaurant.

    Stopped in for a food and beer pairing with Little Beast. Wife is vegetarian, I’m meatetarian, and we both absolutely loved it. Standouts were the squash salad and short rib. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu. I really can’t say enough about the service; Eliza was friendly and attentive, knowledgeable about each dish as well as the paired beers. First time here but definitely won’t be the last.

    Great space and overall aesthetic vibe, but the food and drinks, while not bad at all, were underwhelming. Especially at the price position. Service was inexplicably slow, totally pleasant but still slow. Overall Vaux is probably fine if you’re staying in the hotel and want some drinks and bar snacks but for dinner... not sure I’d recommend.

    Service was unbelievably terrible! Slow & food for are party of five came out at all different times. One person in our party did not get his order so we had to ask a fifth time! Eventually popcorn was brought out to snack on. So disappointed!

    This was really disappointing. It took over an hour and a half to get our food. The server would just tell us sorry. Server never came back to the table to fill the water glasses. When we finally got the food it tasted good, but server never came to check on us. I had to find their server and ask for salt. Told us she was sorry things were messed up. Never offered to do anything about. I talked to the manager and he just said sorry. It was a special occasion for my wife. I was just really bummed about it.

    Christmas dinner here was horrible. Service was poor, food took forever and was not very good. Chicken was underdone and spatzel with spare ribs was overdone. They couldn’t make anything for our kids, even simple fruits or vegetables, or grilled cheese. Terrible experience.

    Not the best choice for our Birthday/Christmas Day lunch. Service was slow, as they seemed understaffed. We waited over an hour for our food, which in the end gave us lots of time to talk. But when it arrived 3 of the 4 dishes weren't piping hot. The food was healthy and creative, and tasty but with the delay and lack of heat (food wise) it was less than stellar. In any case, I think we'll go somewhere else next year.
