Yes, to the patrons who wish to experience the flavors and textures of Japanese cuisine. No to those who want to fill themselves up with food. For those it would be a waste of an opportunity.

Overall an excellent above and beyond experience. We were greeted by the chef’s wife Stephanie and got seated right away. Our waitress Emily was friendly and efficient. Great selections of wines, cocktails and even sakes! Varieties of Japanese and Italian fusion foods, especially the melts in your mouth Haikaido Uni, we like the Uni so much that we order an additional order. The chef/owner Kevin delivered our order and greet us personally, he do that to every table, an added touch that made you feel welcome!!

My husband and I always go out for brunch on New Years Day. This year we were very excited to try Victor. If anyone knows how to do a busy brunch it’s the crew at Victor. The food stations were very well maintained. The selections were plentiful and the service was top notch. The restaurant was beautifully appointed, the food was well laid out, we had a wonderful time. Great start to 2025. We’ll be back next year.
