Up until recently, La Castile has always been my go-to steak resto in the west end. The food is very good, although the service can be hit or miss. My one pet peeve is they don't serve mashed potatoes as a side; I've only been able to get it once because it was a "special of the day".
I've been coming here for years but what really did me in the last time was the drastic price increase on drinks (vodka/sodas). When the bill came I couldn't believe the price - for a simple vodka soda we were charged $13 each! ..now I don't mind paying this for a specialty drink or a martini, but for an ounce of vodka it was absurd. The waitress explained it was about 9-10$ before & they decided to increase their price drastically. Any other high end steak restaurant I've gone to I've paid $9-10 for a vodka, so where does La Castile get off with their pricing?! I was very disappointed, & don't plan on returning.
