    We went for brunch with my parents and friends. We had such a wonderful time. The brunch is absolutely amazing the choices are so numerous, you don't even know where to start. If you love seafood, this is the brunch for you. All the clams and oysters on the half shell you can eat along with shrimp cocktail, mussels, ceviche, sashimi and sushi. You can even talk to the sushi chef! They also have everything you would want for breakfast plus salads, pastas, a carving station, chocolate fountain and even a soft serve machine! Plus they have menu items like avocado toast and eggs benedict that are included in the price. Everyone at our table was thrilled with their meals.

    Another delicious meal and experience at the wonderful Victory Park Tavern. Our server, Melissa, was excellent and pleasant as she always is. The food was outstanding. We started with the burrata and fig jam special which was so good. My husband and daughter each had the hangar steak which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. So flavorful according to both! I had the Chilean sea bass which was awesome. I continue to highly recommend VPT for delicious and creative food and a most enjoyable all-around dining experience.

    Our server Lauren was excellent…we had allergy issues and she was very attentive and helpful! We ordered the clams oreganato and was slightly disappointed with them…all breadcrumbs and very little clams. I felt overpriced for what you get. Otherwise, food, service and ambience excellent!

    Semolina is always our first choice when we come back to NJ. As usual is was phenomenal!!! The coffee crusted venison carpaccio was tender and delicious. I had the squash angolotti that were plump and the creamy sauce has just enough truffle and pepper notes. My husband had the spicy octopus ragú and it was light and flavorful. Finished the night with a hefty pot de crème that was perfection. Trish was out server and she was attentive, witty and efficient as the dining room was filling up punctuated by Bryson and Jillian who made sure we had everything we needed. once again walked away full and happy!
