The food was delicious and our server was attentive and very friendly! Great first timers and will be back! The lighting for the outside signage could be better. It was hard to notice when looking for it as walking from parking garage.

LOVED dining at Von’s so much that we’re headed back again today! The food is delicious with large portions. My husband ordered the Smashed burger and I had the all day bolognese-it was to die for! The tables up front are a little close together, so if one party nearby is talking loud it’s almost impossible to hear and carry on your own conversation (this could have been just the guests sitting next to us). Looking forward to another meal here. Highly recommend again and again!

Had salmon salad, crab bisque and bread pudding for dessert. All were excellent. The service was great, our server was always there when we needed something but not overbearing. My only complaint was the music was a little too loud with a strong beat which made conversation difficult and detracted from the ambiance.
