When the vibrancy of Old Strathcona collides with the economic uncertainty that comes with a petroleum-based economy, it's tough to keep up a business. Signs, storefronts and shingles change all the time as numerous nightclubs, retailers and eateries have come and gone from the trendy neighbourhood.
But not Vons Steak House and Oyster Bar, which has weathered the storms through thick and thin since it was launched in 1988 by David Vaughan, who named the spot as a play on his last name. Several owners later, Barry Sparrow – who also owns country bar Cook County Saloon less than a block away – sold it to Himmy and Gurchawan Daliwhal, who loved the restaurant so much they made no plans to change a thing. And who would? The notion of making a profit out of creating steaks from Alberta beef, envied worldwide for its quality, seemed like a no-brainer at the time and has since become a rewarding investment.
Alissa Hildahl, the restaurant's manager, credits the quality of the food and dedication of its workforce for its durability. "We focus highly on service," Alissa says. "Our guests are the most important part of any restaurant, and we pride ourselves on our return business." The Steak Oscar – an upgrade from the Steak Neptune of old – still ranks among the most in-demand entrees, thanks to its toppings of asparagus, crab, shrimp, scallop and a garlic cream sauce. Ditto for Vons' prime rib and goat cheese fillet dishes. "All the old favourites are still here," Alissa says. "The core of our menu remains the same."
AMAZING STEAK AND OYSTERS:)
We arrived at 530pm, no reservations, and were led to our table with no wait and met our waitress Amanda. We ten proceeded to get a bottle of red carbonate wine, amazing:) After which we were informed of buck a shuck, and proceeded to try a total of 48 oysters ( 12 different types, both Atlantic and Pacific) the were phenomenal. We then followed this up with some escargot. Perfectly cooked. For our main meal we had Caribbean lobster tail and steak ( silver aaa ) medium rare; cooked to perfection, the candles that heated the butter and the ambiance in the restauraunt, felt like we were the only two there. We tried tequila shots with and without oysters, and two different martinis with pink sugar along the rim, like the food , they were awesome:) I wanted to show the girl I was with a good time and it was amazing, when i seen her earlier that night, she took my breath away and to see her smile at Vons, made it all worth while:) It was our first time eating there and we were there to after 10pm, last ones in the restauraunt:) amazing time, something neither one if us will ever forget:) best meal I ever had, and Im glad I got to share the experience with her:) great food, great service, and seeing her happy - amazing:) highly recommend this restauraunt to anyone to any couple, its something you wont forget:)
