Excellent all around. Lovely atmosphere and the food is of excellent quality for an excellent price. Portion size was perfect, even had to take home leftovers, and the flavours clearly indicated that the chef cares deeply about providing a good end result. This place is everything you're looking for.

I love being at Von’s! The atmosphere is classy, calm and cozy, just people talking to each other. There is seating at the tables or bars up and downstairs. “Flippers” is upstairs and the seafood is available there, plus the regular menu. The regular menu is on the main floor, and it is gourmet and wonderful! Von’s and Flippers are very popular for lunch and dinner. The weekend brunch is popular too. Go early!Vegetarian options: I noticed that there are delicious vegetarian choices available.Dietary restrictions: I’m fairly sure that you would be accommodated. Karyn the owner wants everyone to be happy. She’s been in business forever after all, which speaks volumes.Parking: After 5:30 Bank Street parking is free, sometimes on the same Bank Street block as this restaurant. I’ve always found spots close by, as I go earlier rather than late!Wheelchair accessibility: No problem! The floor is level on the main floor and there is an elevator, (and staircase too), to Flippers upstairs!

2 of us walked in, waiting for a table because it was busy. Then 4 people walked in and they gave them a table for 4 and told us to wait! Waited long enough to leave! That is the epitome of bad service!

We have driven by Von's for years but have never dropped in. We did so recently for brunch and were extremely pleased with the menu and service. The brunch menu is well priced and our group of four tried wraps, an omelet a Classic Club, lattes and mimosas. The portions were perfect and the food was delicious. Service is relaxed and professional. We can't wait to go again.

We come to Von's Bistro regularly for their set menu Sunday dinner specials with a group of friends. They always looks and taste amazing, with the perfect portions and great dessert pairings. This week, they had a roast with mashed potatoes and yorkshire pudding, with a sticky toffee cake for dessert. We would highly recommend giving Von's Bistro a try anytime, but the dinner specials are particularly memorable. The staff are also attentive while being unobtrusive, while also being friendly and helpful. They've always done a great job handling our food allergy/sensitivity needs.

When will people realize that most positive reviews are paid for? Dine wisely.

We have eaten at Von’s twice in the past couple weeks and both times have been fantastic! The second time was a large group lunch following our wedding ceremony, and everyone had a lovely meal. We were very pleased with the quality of both service and food. Highly recommend!

I've been coming here for brunch for over 20 years now. The food is just as excellent as the first time.
