    This was our first time dining at The Victor Cafe and it certainly will not be our last! The food was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was fun. The restaurant downstairs and upstairs was beautiful! The professionally trained Opera singing servers were beyond brilliant and to hear their strong operatic voices so close was an experience everyone should have! Thank you for an absolutely delicious dinner and a fabulous evening out!

    This is a very special place. From Jimmy the valet to the bright cheerful smile of the receptionist to the amazingly talents of the wait staff who lavish attention on you and offer up opera arias to delight the ears. The food is plentiful and most excellent with a broad selection to chose from. Both gluten free and vegan options are avaliable. Dining at the Victor is an experienced not to be missed. Diane H

    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.
