Loved the desert cocktails here. They're worth coming just for that reason! Service is great, and the environment is very relaxing and ambient.

My husband and I love coming here for date nights when we are in town visiting his family. The martini's are so fun and the food never disappoints. The ambiance is a bit more moody and romantic making it perfect for a date night.

Nice looking restaurant, modest elegance. Appetizers we had were Brussels and seared ahi.. wonderful! I had the porterhouse pork.. delicious. Tanya, our server, recommended a Washington Cabernet that was great. Highly recommend!

My girlfriends and I came in for a quick drink before a movie at The Pix. They have the best drinks in town. Hand crafted, homemade syrups and a amazing recipes. Our favorites so far are: Tequila Mockingbird Berry Pixie Fire and Ice Scarlet Margarita Lavender Lemon Drop

If your looking for great food, vib, and fantastic service you should check this place out! Tonya is THE best! And her recommendation are perfect! Thanks for the best meal I've had in the northwest!

Wow!!! I just had an amazing meal at Vault 244! The food was fantastic, the drinks were perfect and the only thing better was Tonya! Tonya was so much fun and she was attentive to all of our needs!

We love Vault 244! We were lucky to come during happy hour, so their already reasonably priced drinks were even cheaper. I started off with the Crater Lake Smokey, while my partner got the Chai Tea Martini (special of the week). The Crater Lake Smokey was super smooth, with a nice hint of smoke that paired nicely with the goat cheese stuffed olives. The Chai Tea Martini was super tasty with a strong hit of chai, and had a nice sweet finish. For our second round, I got the Sazerac while my partner got the Oregon Manhattan. The Sazerac had a nice hint of anise/liquorice from the peychaud's bitters that provided a nice balance to the spiced rye whisky. The Oregon Manhattan is one of our favorite drinks on the menu, and has a nice balance of complex flavors with the chai tea surprisingly pairing nicely with the bourbon, vermouth, and bitters. Highly recommend Vault 244 if you're looking for fantastic and reasonably priced cocktails. We'd love to try the food next time!

A friend treated me to dinner here tonight and i was pleased! I've not eaten in Albany a lot, so I was not familiar with anything there, but this suggestion was made and i am glad! they had a special cocktail, pomegranate basil. it was delish! i wish i would have known about the pistachio martini found out about as we were leaving as i might have had that instead. but i suppose there is always next time. we started with the calamari which was cooked to perfection! he ordered a steak and i opted for the seared ahi tuna and a salad. every bit of it was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing! i like the fact the it is not a loud place - and the fire place adds great atmosphere! I would definitely dine here again!
