Von's Steak & Fish House

Went to Von's tonight for our wedding anniversary. Fortunately it was relatively quiet, which meant our food came out very promptly. Chris was a great server, apologized for bread coming out late, which we didn't really mind. Our steaks and veggies and sides were good. A little bit pricy in my opinion, but good quality food. Mac and cheese didn't have a lot of cheese flavour to it I found, but my ribeye was nice as were the veggies. Truffle fries were nice.

Although I enjoyed our dinner, it wasn't up to the usual standards that I have come to know at this restaurant. The music was a little too loud although we enjoyed the songs that were playing, there was a bright light shining in my eyes from the serving station, and our waitress was not very attentive waiting until our meal was half gone before coming to check on us. She did not fill up empty water glasses (had to ask her twice). Had the filet mignon and it was a little tough compared to last time. Perhaps they were a little low on quality cuts being we were there a couple days after busy Valentine's Day. Might go back but only based on previous experience (had this been our first visit, we wouldn't).

My husband really enjoyed his meal- steak cooked exactly how he liked it (med-well) and the sides were great. My steak came out med-well instead of rare, but they quickly re did the steak. I feel like the steak was over done because it was super thin- not what I expected in a NY Strip, and a thin steak is really easy to overcook. Our waiter was excellent in handling the issue, and overall service was excellent, and the decor was good. I just wish the quality of the meat was higher, especially for the price paid.
