    This is my second visit to the restaurant and it was awesome! Big thanks to the hostess who read our reservation notes and considered my request for a table with plenty of space. The Bloody Mary was fantastic; the biscuits are legendary. We will continue to come in whenever we are in Seattle.

    Service was slow (dinner took 3 hours), but the waitstaff was pleasant and helpful. We were not in a hurry, so the leisurely pace was ok. We sat right in front of the hostess stand, and she seemed angry, and we felt like she was glaring at us all night. It may be that she was angry about the slow service, but we felt her wrath. The food and wine was very good, and the waitstaff was friendly and capable. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our dinner very much except for the disapproving hostess.

    I spent Christmas dinner here with my sisters and it was a perfect choice. Beautiful dining area and salad bar. Above-average wait staff and the host, Johnson, made us feel very welcome. So much beautiful food! The Picanha was my favorite and there was plenty of it. Desserts were divine. I'm sure I will return many times to enjoy this upscale experience that doesn't break the bank. Nice downtown location- make sure to double check your parking options with the restaurant.

    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!
