Breakfast: very good, could've been seasoned more, but hey, I can S&P my own meal.

I've waited a long time to go here, let me just say it was well worth the wait. I came for lunch on rainy Friday afternoon it was getting close to closing

The Vandal offers a mix of both positive and negative reviews. While some diners praise the excellent service and flavorful dishes such as the truffle fries and poached lobster, others were disappointed with certain dishes like the duck breast and NY strip steak. The restaurant seems to excel in farm-to-table menu items and creative cocktails, with gluten-free pizza being a standout. Overall, patrons appreciate the atmosphere and the BYOB option, making it a popular choice for both breakfast and dinner. However, inconsistencies in food quality and service are noted, urging diners to cancel reservations if the head chef is not present. Despite the mixed reviews, The Vandal appears to offer a diverse dining experience with a focus on fresh, flavorful ingredients.

Amazing food, friendly service, a little hard to hear with all of the hard surfaces and a busy atmosphere but worth it!
