Vacca Steakhouse

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.

First things first...Having been a Peppermill customer for years, I am so impressed with the transformation of the space. Vacca is chicly decorated, and is perfect for a date night, business get together, or even a nice, family meal. We met some friends here, and it was a first visit for all. I ordered the Bramble On from the specialty cocktail menu to kick off our time, and mentioned that I was excited about the muddled blackberries. Our server informed me that blackberries weren't available, so blueberries would be subbed. I was fine with that. When my drink arrived, I was a little saddened to find no muddled fruit at all. I asked the server about this, and she explained that there was muddled fruit, but you just couldn't see it. Huh? She said the blueberries were definitely there, just in juice form. Again, huh? I asked for blueberries as I certainly didn't feel like $16 for a drink with muddled fruit was fair if there was no muddled fruit in the drink. She brought me a toothpick that was threaded with three, very tiny blueberries. I was not impressed. We ordered the fried cheese and oysters Severn as our apps. The fried cheese was just that. Fried cheese with marinara. It was fine, but no better or worse than fried mozzarella I've had anywhere else. I'm not mad at it, just not writing home about it either. The oysters Severn is a dish I can definitely get behind. It was flavorful and the oysters were perfectly fried. This one deserves a moment.Now for the REALLY good stuff. I wasn't in the mood for a steak, so I went with the burger. Y'all - it was fantastic! The beef was top quality, it was cooked perfectly to order, and the toppings were piled high. I'm so glad it was cut in half, because a half was all I could tackle. My husband had a filet, and again, perfection. Perfectly cooked, and melt in your mouth tender. I can't forget to mention the fries that came with my burger or the mushrooms the hubs ordered as his side. Both were fantastic.The service was exceptional, and I greatly appreciate the purse tree. I hate putting my bag on the floor, not because I don't want it to get dirty, but because I am extremely clumsy and there's always a chance I'll trip over it at some point.I was happy to learn that they will soon be opening for a few more days at lunch time. I'll definitely be back.

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.

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.

Vacca Steakhouse was a great experience! We sat in the back room, which had a nice atmosphere with a low to moderate noise level. The steaks were seasoned with pepper (which I love), and both the ribeye and filet were outstanding--the filet was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. Portions were generous across the board, from the Caesar salad to the steaks. The cheese log appetizer was solid, but we could have passed on the creamed spinach and potatoes au gratin. The espresso martinis were delicious, and the blue cheese stuffed olives were a great touch to our dirty tinis. Definitely looking forward to going back!

Absolutely amazing food and great service. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides/appetizers were filling and delicious. Was also a great atmosphere and very easy to park. We got the Oysters Severn, House Made Fried Cheese, Beefsteak Tomato and Red Onion Salad, French Onion Soup, 8oz Filets, Salmon, Chilean Sea Bass, Lyonnaise Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Spinach, and Creamed Corn. Will 100% be going back very very soon.

Food and service were top tier! One of the best steaks I've had in Metairie Highly recommended!

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 !! :)
