    Victor Cafe is always a terrific experience. The food is great, the service is so good in so many ways, and the kicker is that your server will perform an aria from an opera. Unique dining experience.

    Great place to take my out of town guests. They loved it all: ambience, food, wine and of course, the arias!

    We had a wonderful family dinner at the Victor Cafe. It is a special place because the wait staff sing, but we also found the food choices and preparation to be excellent, a very good and reasonably priced wine list, and a fun, family oriented atmosphere. We will be back - many times!

    My husband and I moved out of state and now residing in SC. We had not been there for 30 years, but it was just as outstanding last evening as it was the many times we had been there before. It is such a unique restaurant with outstanding opera singers and the food was as excellent as the entertainment.

    "It was absolutely amazing!!! Highly recommended!!! P.S. Yesterday, we celebrated our anniversary with friends at an incredible restaurant that doubled as an opera house! The professional performers blew us away with their talent. We loved opera. As opera enthusiasts, we were particularly impressed by the stunning performance of Eugene Onegin by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, sung in Russian. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience.
