    This was my first time at Victor Cafe and it surpassed my expectations. The food was great but the atmosphere and talent of the singers was amazing. Our server, Iris, gave some wonderful menu recommendations and her Opera voice was beautiful. This felt like a hidden gem and I can’t wait to return

    The food here is delicious and the portions are large. I have ordered from here many times and will continue to order from here. On the whole, the staff was super friendly. Of note, they do not have Coke products. There was an issue with our order- something forgotten- and one of the staff yelled at another staff member and that was upsetting. The noise level was low except for the same staff that yelled being very loud on the phone.
