    We had an amazing experience at Victoria's and on Valentine's Day no less. We had an 8pm reservation and were seated within 10-15 minutes of 8 o'clock. The host and management staff were extremely kind and courteous even though the restaurant was packed to capacity. Our server Sarah was pleasant and cheerful as well as offered excellent suggestions. I had the eggplant which was amazing and my GF had the filet mignon which was cooked to medium rare perfectly. Overall it was a very pleasant experience with great ambiance and definitely worth the price and wait. We will definitely be back! If you're looking for a nice dinner before a show this is the place to go!

    This was our first visit to Steakhouse 85. We enjoyed the whole experience. The food, service, value and ambiance were top of the line. We were there on their Date Night. For $125 a couple, you get an appetizer, entree, desert and bottle of wine from their short list. The selections for Date Night gave us good choices and we chose things that we were going to order originally. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it!
