    We enjoyed our Valentine’s Day dinner at Rudy’s. I was surprised to see a 3 percent credit card charge on our bill. We were not expecting that since nobody told us about it.

    Victoria does not disappoint. Nothing fancy - just good food prepared well. Our waiter, a former chef, was exceptional. He knew the menu, made strong recommendations, and was attentive throughout the meal. You can’t go to Victoria without getting the duck fat fries. I was a little hesitant to sit out on the patio, but the area was warm and a bit less noisy than the rest of the restaurant. Since, we have moved, we don’t get to Victoria as much as we did in the past. However, when we make the trip, we can be assured of consistently good food and excellent service.

    I had the crabcake and my wife had the parmesan trout and both were fantastic! Her trout was very favorable with the spices and parmesan coating. The served me a real Maryland flavored crabcake. The coleslaw was the best I ever had because it wasn't too sweet, and you could taste the vinegar which was the perfect tart flavor that was needed. Many coleslaw recipes taste cheap and too sweet but theirs was balanced. The fries rival McDonald's fries and before you laugh think about how perfect McDee's makes their french fries. The special Valentine Strawberry and Chocolate Mousse cake was a perfect ending to our meal. It had a little scoop of vanilla ice cream, strawberry sauce and white chocolate heart stuck into the cake. We will bring back our family in our second visit. Plus, our server was the best!
