"We went for our 5 year anniversary dinner specifically made the reservation for the lounge assuming it would be adult only as they have a restaurant for families. There was one large group with about 8 kids. The kids were running around the lounge no one was watching them the parents were all oblivious. The servers repeatedly apologized to all patrons for the children. It wasn't their fault. The group with all the kids was made up of 4 couples . So 8 adults not one of them was even attempting to correct any children . Overall it was not the romantic evening we had planned. We left our kids at home for a reason. I was very disappointed that a manager didn't address the large group as they were finished eating and ask then to move on or at least keep there kids at the table. I would never allow my children to act like that in public. It really took away from our overall experience. The food was good although I felt a bit over priced for the amount you got to eat. If I'm spending $300 dollars for a meal out with my husband. The over all experience is very important and it just wasn't great. That was our first time at Vons since it moved downtown . I don't think we will go back. To pay for parking and pay that much for a meal and then feel like your at a McDonald's the way all the kids were running around wasn't a great time. So it was our anniversary our reservations were for 6:30pm and we were home by 8:30pm. Not quite the evening out we had planned."

"Brand new first night waitress Kira attempted to wait on us we put in our drink orders and (simples orders for iced tea just 3 of us) and our dinner order. We did have a few questions about the menu and she did not have any answers, I do understand it was her first night, but it is important to look over a menu and try and learn about it before starting to work somewhere and their menu is not very big. 45 minutes later we still had no iced to or some order chowder or salad which is not included with a dinner and sold separate. We had to get up seek out another wait staff and request to speak to a manager. After some more waiting a chief named Sean came out and spoke with us and covered for a manager. He was very kind, apologetic and retook our order from memory. He brought it out to us personally, our waitress continued to be MIA, there was a very very very hard working man named Daniel working there who was busing tables, filling water, seating people, checking on us as our waitress was not. The other wait staff Will pretty much had all the other tables and Daniel did an excellent job keeping everyone one as happy as possible to try and keep the costumer service up. When we were done eating the waiting game began again. Waiting and waiting for our bill. Daniel and Will let Kira know multiple times we were waiting. There went probably another 45 minutes. She then finally brings us our bill after never having check on us once during our meal even to ask how our food was or did we need another iced tea etc. Sean had actually at one point run out from the kitchen to see how we were doing. She brings the bill and just stands there kind of staring at us not saying anything. I start to say something as at this point I feel that even though Sean was great etc we should get a discount and she just walks away. So we keep looking back towards the kitchen and she knows we are looking at her because she has peeked out. So she comes back to the table and I let her know how I felt and gave her some advice about understanding it was her first day but there is not excuse for the fact that we did not get even iced tea for 45 minutes. And then that she never checked on us and then just brings us the bill and then walked away when I was trying to talk to her. So over another 30 minutes goes by and she comes back with a discounted bill. 1 of the 3 total meals including the salad you buy separately had been removed. We then paid the bill at that point. We came for an early dinner and had arrived at 4:35. We left after 8pm. We did not order a 3 course dinner that could have been stretched into 2 hours were only drinking water and iced tea."
