We (family of 4 adults) ate brunch here the midmorning after Christmas and really enjoyed our meal. The food was very good, the service was attentive and courteous and the ambiance excellent. We lingered over our meal for almost 2 hours and felt the staff didn’t try to rush us out. Highly recommended.

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!

Mindy was phenomenal. We had not seen her since 2019 at her former establishment. She was kind, warm, and utterly professional. We will return again.
