About us

A Taste of France in Downtown Buffalo Experience a new chapter at Bistro at The Vault. Executive Chef Derek Minkensky invites you to discover our evolving French dinner menu, featuring classic techniques, seasonal ingredients, and beautifully crafted dishes. From our signature French onion soup to our newest seafood creations, every dish celebrates the tradition of French cuisine. Join us for an unforgettable evening in the heart of downtown Buffalo.

The restaurant and its private dining spaces are a contemporary reuse of the bank's historic Trust Department, safe deposit boxes and iconic vault.

Our attentive and knowledgeable service team is committed to delivering welcoming, satisfying, and enjoyable experiences for all our guests. Prohibition themed bartenders mix period cocktails, top-shelf and local spirits, and offer a full selection of local & regional beers and fine wine. Our bar setting is comfortable and energetic and showcases Prohibition-era jazz.

We also offer private and group dining areas, located in the Vault and former Trust Department, for celebrations with family and friends, business meetings, small cocktail parties, rehearsal dinners or after parties as part of larger celebrations at our sister venue, the Admiral Room at the Marin.

Experience elevated food, well-mixed drinks, attentive service, and good friends at Vault @ 237. Our dress code is casual, so come as you are, but reservations are always strongly encouraged.
