Food was fantastic. However for the price point I expect a fine dining service level. Or server was extremely absent and at one point after 15 min waiting had to call a separate person over to clear our finished plates. The restaurant was not busy and our server only had three tables at busiest point. Tables were never cleared when guest left.

Not what I expected. I was there for a Mother’s Day brunch, to be fair; never been to the evening service and will not be after this. I would have been better served and a better quality food at Denny’s, for a fraction of the cost.

We took my mother for Brunch for Mother's Day and were excited as we figured Von's was high end which would equate to high quality. Sadly, the only high end part of the experience was the price. The food left much to be desired, the excellent serving staff couldn't make up for the shortcomings of the kitchen. I will definitely not be going back.

Will not attend Mother’s Day Brunch again. Most food was not warm (roast beef, pancakes), fruit was not all fresh, pastries are from Costco. Not quality you would expect for the price point.

Dine there on a Sunday. Buck a shuck oyster prices went up. Service also very slow. My food was forgotten, everyone at my table got theirs and mines was missing so I had to ask for it. Even asking for sauces, salt, etc was slow. Ran out of the garlic tobasco sauce in the whole restaurant. I think they may be understaffed.

The oysters are great! The steak is overpriced now and very small portions of sides come with it. This used to be a great place but seems to have become less value for the price

Good food, great service. A bit pricy for the overall experience. The decor of the restaurant could use a bit of maintenance. If you are charging me $50 for a delicious steak I would expect that all the bathroom stall doors should work, missing tiles should be replaced and the ceiling light beside our table should not constantly flicker and be such a distraction from our great meal. Service was great though so I will return again.

The meal was good, although the baked potatoe was swimming in butter, and the roasted potatoes seemed greasy. The steaks was excellent as expected, as were the seasonal vegetables. Our waiter appeared to be having an off-day, although polite, missed a few key things: special of the day, refilling wine or water glasses. Not sure if it was nervousness or if there was a staffing issue they were trying to juggle. I see another reviewer was dining on the same night, and had a great experience. We've been before, and had a great time, this visit was below our expectations.

The food was not bad, but not the quality I’d expect from Von’s. The desserts were average to below average. The service was lacking. Very friendly but absent. We had a shift change mid-meal and that didn’t help. Fantastic room and very friendly staff but not a high quality fine dining experience

Our food was unreal. I had the chicken with a side of king crab and my son had the strip loin and he loved it. My boyfriend had the prime rib and was very happy with his choice as well. We were celebrating our 7 yr anniversary and they brought us out a complimentary piece of cake and sat us by the fire. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

My second time at Vons. Separated by many years. Upon opening the door is clear that the place requires updating, doors, walls, tables all show their age and tired appearance. Place was not overly busy, service was slow and infrequent. Checking on drinks and food after it was delivered was sporadic. Price point for appetizers and main meals seemed expensive. Appetizers specifically near the $20 range were small for the portion size. The food overall was good, minus cutlery we had to ask for several times. Overall the establishment needs to be refreshed. I’ll wait and see if any renovations and changes to the menus are announced but I have a feeling that will be many years to come.
