    Nice spot! Pricey but nice! Great service. Ambiance is nice and sexy. Good deal on Thursday donate night, you get two steaks & two sides & two glasses of wine for $150. Brunch is also nice. I've had the filet...and the lobster Benedict. My only qualm is the amount of black pepper they use. It's overly used in my opinion. But the food seasoned well in general. I'll be back for sure.

    Calamari
    Christine Y.

    Aside from it being in a strip mall and being labeled as fine dining (which threw me off) it was ok. It was freezing in there which made me not want to be there too long. We got the calamari to start, it was flavorless, there was no seasoning at all. I got the shrimp fra diavolo which was pretty good with nice size shrimp. The hubs got the surf and turf and asparagus. I got the carrot cake to go, I tried it once I got home and it was moist and delicious.

    Filet mignon and crabcake
    Kevin H.

    The filet mignon came out cooked to a perfect medium-rare: tender, buttery, and seasoned just enough to let the quality of the beef shine through. No steak sauce required -- this one stood on its own. The crabcake was equally impressive -- all lump crab, barely any filler, with that golden sear that gives just the right crunch before melting into sweet, juicy crab. A little drizzle of remoulade tied it all together without overpowering the seafood. The server was great she helped us pick items from the menu. Beyond the food, the atmosphere made the experience even better. The lighting was warm and flattering, setting the mood without being too dim. The spacing of the tables was just right -- enough distance to feel comfortable and keep conversations private, but still lively enough to feel part of the energy of the room.

    It was easy to make a reservation. Restaurant team from host, bartender, servers to chef were all accommodating, service was on point. We went on a Monday night they do a surf and turf special. Food was excellent from cocktails, apps to entrees. The restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated. Tens all around. Highly recommend for happy hour and large parties. We had about 12 ppl for a book club friends giving dinner. Wish I had taken more food pics but everything was phenomenal.

    I got food poisoning after eating here!! I'm 99.9% sure that it was from the Caesar salad. The lettuce was wet and soggy as if it had been premade hours in advance. I knew I shouldn't have eaten it but i nibbled and woke up on my death bed the next morning. The petite filet and crab cake special was really good but I fear I'll never come back here again

    The service was top tier. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and I mean every single person I encountered. The Lyonnaise Potatoes were my unexpected favorite. They were so good. I can still taste them. I ordered a Cesar salad that was really good and I had the crab cakes. I think the crab cakes could've been seasoned a little better but they were cooked perfectly. I had the Carrie cocktail and it was made well.

    First of all the service was amazing. Candace, So very attentive and so welcoming. We started with the calamari and it was delicious. The marinara sauce needs a little bit of tweaking to give it a more Italian flavor. Don't come here if you're looking for a quick meal. Everything is made to order. The Ceasar salad was really great. Just needed a little bit of salt and pepper. Chilean sea bass over sautéed spinach is so wonderful. My husband had the ribeye and said it was excellent. We also ordered two sides of asparagus and twice baked potatoes, which were amazing. It was our anniversary so they brought us out for delicious cookies with milk. The prices were a bit pricey, but it's excellent for a special occasion.

    I've been really looking forward to checking out Vacca, but it just fell short. We went at lunch with a large group, and the staff was very attentive. However, they weren't especially welcoming and there were only a couple other tables in the dining room the entire time we were there which was over two hours... quite a bit longer than our lunch break. The crab cake appetizer was very good but on the small side. The onion rings were extra large and crispy. I looked at the menu prior to going and was really in the mood for the french onion soup which our server recommended as the best in Metairie - but it sadly had no flavor. I took a couple bites and moved on. I got the chopped salad with Salmon and Shrimp. The salmon was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor. Shrimp was a little overcooked. I don't think i'll be back.

    The whole staff was very welcoming and nice. We celebrated my friend's birthday and the food was just as good as the 1st time we visited in October.

    It's giving hidden gem in Metairie. The dining room was cute and cozy with the neon red lights around the bar and black walls and trim. Our server was very attentive. She noted our notes in the reservation (we were celebrating our Aunts birthday) on open table AND looked at our profile and noticed our anniversary was a few days away! That is top notch. We enjoyed the calamari for an appetizer, shared the porterhouse and filet with steamed broccoli, asparagus, and potatoes au gratin. The plates came sizzling hot with parsley butter spread around. The steaks were seasoned well and the meat was tender. For a birthday celebration they brought out three chocolate chip cookies and a cup of milk with a candle. Super cute and not too heavy to end the meal. I definitely recommend id you're celebrating someone special and want to be outside of the French Quarter. We will be back.

    This place is located at Severn Ave, Metairie which is close to Lakeside mall. Just newly opened Steakhouse like a week ago so must checkout this spot. Very nice and warm decor with a wonderful bar and pretty bartenders. FOOD & BEVERAGE was excellent everything is made from scratch as you can taste and every plate is piping hot if its a hot food. The only thing need to know steaks does not come with sides as you can order sides seperately and they have more than 10 sides options for $14 each. Cocktails were cold and refreshing came out quick, as the restaurant is not that big you can see your drinks made by bartender. SERVICE- excellent service by my server Mr dupe who explained the food from appetizers to wine even maincourse and desserts as the menu offers a nice options and its hard to decide what to choose from. ATMOSPHERE & DECOR- Quiet and well maintained, warm and cozy decor with white table cloth and black napkins. NOTE- the restaurant does not offer bread service yet so if you are a type of person looking for a bread when u get sat you might keep starving, Free parking outside available but its limited. Most maincourse does not comes with a side so you might have to order seperately. The food and beverage comes with a nice price tag so if you are on a budget better be ready to see menu before. Overall wonderfull experience of food and service as the manager, server and hostess are very friendly and welcoming. I would personally go again and again !! :)

    We tried Vacca for our anniversary. The makeover from Peppermill was aesthetically amazing especially the bar area. We started with the oyster and bacon app. The oysters were amazing! Very plump and the bacon was so smoky and rich. The pairing was a party for my tastebuds! We then had to do the french onion soup. We are pretty picky about our french onion soup and this one was super rich, dark, cheesy and made with white wine. It was def among the top 3. I ordered the petit filet and my husband ordered the scallop with pepper jelly special. Both were pretty tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. The price points were a bit on the higher side and the menu a bit limited, but this was def an enjoyable experience. We will definitely visit again!

    Delicious! The place is a little small and the back room can get pretty loud but the food makes up for that! The crab cakes were to die for, came out sizzling and were the perfect ratio of crab to filing. Steaks were just as delicious but the star of the night was the peas au gratin... OMG! You might have to really like peas (which I do) but that was honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten! Would go back for that alone!!!

Rich, layered, and well-balanced with fresh elements that worked together on the plate. For entrées, we had a variety of cuts, including the Australian Wagyu, ribeye, butcher's cut, and lamb chops. The Wagyu stood out immediately. High quality, great sear, and finished tableside, which added to the overall experience without taking away from the food itself. Each steak was cooked precisely to temperature and full of flavor. The lamb chops paired with carrots and brussels were well executed and balanced. The sides complemented the meal well and did not feel like afterthoughts. You can also see their in-house dry aging setup, which speaks to the level of detail they put into their steak program. It shows in the final product. The drinks were solid across the board. The Old Fashioned and bourbon selections paired well with the meal and matched the food's quality. Service by Noelle was attentive and responsive throughout the night. Everything flowed well, and we were taken care of without feeling rushed or hovered over. This is not a casual dinner spot, but for a celebration or a night where you want a full experience, Doris Metropolitan absolutely delivers.

    I visited for the first time after receiving several positive recommendations from colleagues, so…read moremy expectations were quite high. Overall, the experience was average and did not fully meet those expectations. The charcuterie and cheese board, priced at $68, was underwhelming in both portion size and value. It included only six thin slices of cured meat and a small selection of cheeses. Unfortunately, one of the cheeses had an unpleasant flavor that made it inedible for our table. The bread service was a highlight, offering a nice variety of breads and accompaniments. The ribeye was cooked well and enjoyable, but it did not stand out from what I've experienced at other upscale steakhouses. The five-cheese couscous was the biggest disappointment, as it lacked the rich, flavorful profile its description suggested. While the service and presentation were appreciated, the overall dining experience did not justify the high expectations or the price point.

The biggest negative for me is that this is a smoking bar and while they do have a HUGE space that usually makes the smoking not such a problem that changes fast during the peak Friday nights when they offer their 2 for 1 burger special when it gets so smoky that I can't handle it. My visits during the weekday seemed quite pleasant but the crowded weekends just get far too smoky for me unfortunately. The burgers and ribeye steaks here are fairly priced and better than you get at many far fancier and way more expensive restaurants. I've eaten a LOT of steaks and enjoyed plenty of good steak nights around the New Orleans area but the ribeye here is by far one of the best I've had anywhere. The service at the bar and at the tables is quick, friendly and overall just a great experience. This is some of the best bar food I've had anywhere and just one of the best options for a great steak and burger at a great price anywhere. Now if they could just do something about the cancer sticks...

We got there a little before they opened but since it was raining they let us in and we waited off the side until they officially opened. Let me start by saying the restaurant is gorgeous! The ambience was grown and sexy and definitely gave fine dining. The waitress was pleasant and gave recommendations because I had no idea what to get. We got the bread to start and OMG that bread was delicious! It was buttery, with a honey flavor and 2 spreads to use. I wanted to eat it all but knew I had to eat an actual dish lol. My husband and I shared a small plate-the wagyu tacos. Lets just say I woke up thinking about those tacos I ordered a medium prime rib eye & my husband ordered a medium rare filet. His filet was perfect but my ribeye was overcooked. They made me a new one with no problem & were very apologetic. The new steak was more medium rare than medium but I still ate it and it was good but fatty. We shared the seafood mac & cheese which we both agreed was the best we had ever had. It was a huge portion so we ended up taking some home (didnt last very long after getting home). Lastly, we ordered the praline crème brûlée....another thing I woke up thinking about Im already thinking about the next time! 10 out of 10!
