~HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY J~Walking down from Caine Road, La Vache wasn't too hard to find I guess. I have to say the red neon lights at the door were quite frightening. It reminded me of something like the gateway to Hell. However, who could miss the big red Moo? it certainly catches your attention! Me and J arrivedat about 1830 this friday night without a reservation and were prepared to wait for a table, but luckily, we were offered a table immediately under the condition that we leave by 2000.
Walking down from Caine Road, La Vache wasn't too hard to find I guess. I have to say the red neon lights at the door were quite frightening. It reminded me of something like the gateway to Hell. However, who could miss the big red Moo? it certainly catches your attention!
Me and J arrivedat about 1830 this friday night without a reservation and were prepared to wait for a table, but luckily, we were offered a table immediately under the condition that we leave by 2000. Since the other 2 friends were on their way, we took a chance with the table! While we waited, a very friendly guy offered us some water. Service was still good at this point.
Even the interior was very "red". Red seats, the classic table cloth, red markers etc... The restaurant was quite cute with pictures of everything French on the walls and table. The menu was printed on the cute paper on the table. Dining here is simple. You pay $258 +10% and you get bread, a salad, a 10 oz steak and unlimited fries.
The only thing you need to do is to tell the server how you'd like your steak, then he/she would write it big and clear on the paper on the table! Since I got Medium Well, MW was written on my paper. 2 of us got MR and 2 of us got Medium Rare.
Very soon after, the bread and Salad came. The bread was good. However, I would have liked it more if the bread was more warm. We each got 2 slices~ The green salad had radishes, and walnuts with a simple vinaigrette. I liked that it was fresh and light.
I'm not sure if they were afraid that we wouldn't leave before 2000, because it felt like they were rushing our orders out. The arrival of our Steak & Fries, was also when the service started to go downhill. All our orders were correct except for M's, so we mentioned to a middle aged female server that M's steak didn't quite look MR, then she asked if M had got MR or MW even though this server herself had written the order down on the table. After saying MR, she rudely and annoyingly took away the dish. That is no way to treat customers. Very soon though, the correct order came and the chef came over to apologize for the mistake and made sure we were all enjoying out steaks. If only all staff had this positive attitude.
As you can see in the picutre above, the slice on the left was supposed to be M's MR steak and the slice on the right was G's MR steak that we put there for comparison. M's steak was obviously overcooked and was not MR. I tried one piece of M's MR steak and it was amazing! The meat was very tender and melted away in my mouth. It made me regret ordering MW, although my MW steak was very good too. I liked the steak without the Béarnaise sauce. Not that the sauce wasn't good, but it overpowered the taste of the beef. I'm not one to have steak all the time, but this steak really did win my heart. As a matter of fact, I have never had fries this tasty as well! The fries were fresh and had some kind of steak seasoning on them, which made them very very tasty. I couldn't help but to finish them quickly so that I could have more.
It took a while for the second helping of fries to come by although I had asked another female server for some more. She just smiled and went back chatting with the other servers. I normally wouldn't have mind, but since it was getting closer to 2000, I didn't have much time left to wait. Also, at about 15 minutes to 2000, the server took away our water bottle and never brought it back. Obviously they were trying to get us to leave. Although everything was delicious, everything was actually very salty, so we needed the water. With no water and time, we only got to see the dessert cart, but didn't get to try anything. Final Verdict:
The food was amazing and the price was also very reaonable. I would love to come again for the food, but I felt disrespected by the service provided by some of the servers. If it weren't for the friendly guy who brought us the water at the beginning and the chef who took the time to do a follow up, I would not think about coming back. I will still give the place a smiley face because of the food and servers who had a positive attitude.
