Every so often a new restaurant opens up that captures the community’s attention and imagination. Sometime it’s due to the incredible food. Other times, it’s the intoxicating atmosphere. And on the rare occasion, it’s both.
The opening of Vault @ 237 will most likely be considered one of those rare occasions. While it’s still too early to try out the food, the setting of the restaurant within a former bank inside the historic Marin Building – is about as top-notch as it gets.
The restaurant has been “three years in the making,” according to developers Paul Kolkmeyer, Andrew Shaevel, and Don Brown, Jr., who are the Managing Partners of the Vault @ 237 and the Admiral Room at The Marin. Currently, the team is applying the finishing touches on the establishment, which is a tribute to “Buffalo’s rich and energetic history from the roaring 1920’s.”
Once open, the sophisticated setting will feature “elevated American fare, well-mixed cocktails, and a unique private dining experience.” At that time, diners and guests to Vault @ 237 will be able to eat, drink, and relax in what was once the Marine Midland Bank’s Trust Department. Thankfully, the operators incorporated the historic bank setting (safe deposit boxes, and iconic vault) into the spectacular setting, making it one of the most novel restaurant aesthetics in all of downtown Buffalo.
Aside from the bar and restaurant operation, Vault @ 237 will also be a key annex space for celebrations, business meetings, small cocktail parties, rehearsal dinners and/or after parties, held in tandem with its sister venue – The Admiral Room at The Marin. Both venues will be managed by Brookwood Hospitality, LLC.
Vault @ 237 is anticipated to open in mid-March, with a soft opening. An official launch will be held in early April.
