  Their oysters are worth trying. The prime rib here is also quite good. The way they do their steak, however, is not as appetizing for me as at other restaurants.

  Is it possible to have a positive group dining experience in Edmonton? The last 2 dinners of birthday groups has been absolutely crap.
  
  I feel bad for Vons though, a long time favorite just totally lost all its reputation with last weekends dining experience.
  
  They had asked us to come in 30 mins early to accommodate with our party size, so 7pm instead of 730pm. Most of us were there at 7 and not one single drink order was taken until about 745. It seemed like the only 2 waiters were concerned with providing a speaker for music. Wtf? Didn't get to put our orders in until 815, and didn't get to see appetizers till about 915. Main courses were a mess as well as half of the table received their meals while their spouses had to see them eat their meals for a good 30 minutes before the other half got theirs. There was also an issue with the plates as well as one of my friends a small plate for a huge main course, he complained about how couldn't cut his steak without everything falling off, and the waitress just fucking laughed. Wtf vons? This was the only time that there were more than 2 ppl helping out party as they needed help bringing out mains. Realistically they needed at least 4 ppl helping us since 7pm. After it was all said and done, we were out of there at 1145 after a huge debacle with all the bills.
  
  Poor system and poor service. Another reason for restaurants to say no to large groups if they cannot accommodate for them.
  
  Food was mediocre, Vons has lost its lustre for sure.
  
  Sal says: Just Skip It (1.9/5) unless you doing buck a shuck then maybe try it
  Raza says: I paid almost $45 for my meal. I was the last person served around 10:25PM after putting in an order at around 8:30PM. Food arrived on an appetizer sized plate with my meal essentially "stacked" on one another. The Primerib was cold, yorkshire pudding was dry, side vegetables were hardly cooked, and the truffle mac n cheese was terrible and not baked. It was the most disappointing "fine dining" experience I've had in Edmonton. Terrible excuse of a steakhouse that I would not recommend to anyone."

  We came as a group. Service was friendly, but. It Took a while to get your first drinks . The steaks were tender, but they need a hotter grill, as there were no real char marks on the steaks,so flavour was not as deep as it could have been especially for the price paid. Will give it another try next time.

  Fantastic experience at Vons. Prompt and courteous service, we sat in the oyster lounge and were served drinks almost immediately. The food was absolutely excellent mostly, I found the au jus and the Yorkshire pudding to be slightly bland. The rest of the meal was fantastic, perfectly cooked and I could not stop eating it.

  Maybe the worst most expensive meal I've ever had...
  Went there for a nice dinner on my anniversary, I order "steak Oscar" and my girlfriend ordered " steak and shrimp". We both got medium rare and the steak was so raw it was almost cold in the middle, I didn't get the opportunity to send it back because the waitress was no where to be found.
  Not very happy for a $155 meal
  Definitely had higher expectations, considering friends and family both recommended this place.
  Would not recommend
