    We went for Valentine’s Day. I looked forward to this experience. My boyfriend and I went for our first valentines 5 years ago. Our reservation was for 8:30. We noticed everyone around us getting their food. People that came in over an hour later received their food within 15 minutes. We did not get our food until 10:10. The waitress forgot the order. When the food finally came we were just happy to finally eat, but the food just was not good. We ordered the pork chop and spaghetti. I’ve been here 4 times and I don’t know why I always expect different. The singers were amazing though. That’s about it.

    We had a fabulous St. Valentine’s Day celebration! The food was fabulous & each of the 4 singers we heard were at the top of their game. Truly gifted singers every one! Our server went above & beyond to make sure we had a good experience! She took such good care of us! We always have a great time at Victor Cafe but this evening was exceptional! Kudos to all!!
