  There aren’t many places like Vlado’s left. There is basically a fixed menu here, where they serve an entree of different meats/cuts, a main where you choose a steak on offer, and dessert where you have a couple of choices (strawberry crepe or ice-cream with strawberries). Along with your entree and main, you can have as much salad as you’d like (they give you a bowl and refill it as necessary). It’s a very meat-based meal as you can tell – unpretentious, traditional and hearty.

  We were offered either a half-sized steak or full-sized steak. My wife only wanted to order a half-sized, but considering it was a fixed price regardless of what we ordered, I convinced her to get the full-sized steak so I could have her leftovers. That may have been a mistake. We were already pretty full from the entrees, and after stuffing my face hard on my steak as well as her leftovers, I was practically comatose. I felt so awful (from my greed, not because the food was bad) that we had to abandon our initial plans of walking around Bridge street after the meal, just so I could go home to rest.

  The meats were all cooked well, I didn’t have any complaints. They were tasty and generous. Don’t expect some sort of fine-dining marbled wagyu or anything like that here; they may not go on and on about where they get their meat from and what the cows eat or what kind of grass they sleep on, but they do know how to cook their meats and their generous portions should leave you with no complaints.

  That said, for a price of just over $100 per person for their usual menu, it might be slightly on the expensive side, despite their generosity. You’d have to really like meat and have a reasonably big appetite, because otherwise, for the same price you could go to a buffet or some other fine-dining restaurant instead, so it really depends on what your preference is.
