  • Super Bowl SNAX

    Multiple dates available
    On Sunday, February 9th, we're serving up SNAX for the big game. You can expect your Super Bowl party favorites, a la Vandal x La Grassa. There's a reasonable chance we'll have the game on, but only if we finish our crash course in Roman Numeral literacy with enough time to ring the projector lady. As for the LIX, Super Bowl Sundae anyone? Pizza by La Grassa Snacks by The Vandal Cocktails Wine Beer

    The Vandal was fantastic again. My favorite steak in town! the Beet and Citrus salad was delicious and the Trout Rillettes superb. Service was great and wines very tasty.

    Three of us had the Steak Frittes. Steak was awful—fatty and rubbery. Cocktails were also terrible, and small, and expensive. $450 for a bad meal and crappy cocktails.

    Overall a highly satisfying experience. Had the steak, duck, and several cocktails all were excellent. This staff has high standards and it shows in their work. We will be back soon.

    The Vandal was fantastic! Glad the smoked Trout Rillettes are back. Smoked Beets and Fig sdish was out of this world. Shared the great Steak Frites! Great service and wine.

    They need a curtain over the door when it’s cold- the draft is tough.
