Mmmm I'm practically drooling! It's been a year and a half since we at at V&A... glad to see some things have changed while some favorites still remain.

One word. Wow.

What's still interesting tho is that unless you are willing to pay an EXTRA $35 or $80, you can't get a beef filet or a steak. It's either lamb , pork, or veal...
It wasn't always that way--an excellent filet was always on the menu.

It isn't a recent development. Looking back to menus from early 2008 the entree choices were veal, pork and lamb with upcharges for filet

Personally, I think filet is an over-glorified cut of meat. Don't get me wrong, I *love* filet and the Australian Kobe was a near religious experience, but I feel that the pork tenderloin I had on my first visit in Sept 2009 was just as memorable.

IMHO if you want a great steak, go to Morton's etc. If you want an interesting entree, go to V&A

I agree that this is interesting. DH got the $35 kobe and I felt like it should've been included. Kobe is very good, and somewhat more expensive, but not enough to justify charging that much more for it.... to me at least. I would like to see a good filet on the included menu.
