    We had an amazing experience at Victoria's and on Valentine's Day no less. We had an 8pm reservation and were seated within 10-15 minutes of 8 o'clock. The host and management staff were extremely kind and courteous even though the restaurant was packed to capacity. Our server Sarah was pleasant and cheerful as well as offered excellent suggestions. I had the eggplant which was amazing and my GF had the filet mignon which was cooked to medium rare perfectly. Overall it was a very pleasant experience with great ambiance and definitely worth the price and wait. We will definitely be back! If you're looking for a nice dinner before a show this is the place to go!

    Food was delicious and server was super friendly. I appreciated that they asked if we had tickets to a show and made a note of it. Our water was always refilled and the offer of the free shot of sambuca at the end (we passed because we were stuffed) was a lovely addition. Note they do charge a 2% surcharge if you use credit. Not a criticism just something to make a note of.

    Very pleased! Went prior to seeing a comedy show at Stress Factory. Food, service, and overall ambiance were excellent. Personally I love the fact that we could have a conversation at normal voice levels. Vinnie and staff do a great job. We'll definitely make that a go-to whenever we have tickets for Stress Factory.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Victoria's. The atmosphere was homey and comfortable. The drinks were excellent. The menu offered a great variety of different pastas, seafood and meat. We especially enjoyed our server, Rachel. She was delightful and made our experience even better. I would highly recommend visiting Victoria's. As couples who have been to most of the New Brunswick's restaurants, this one stacks up nicely.

    Today was our second visit to Victoria’s Tratta Italiano and we were just as pleased as we were the first time. With New Brunswick being a great halfway meeting point for the various members of our party, we enjoy meeting for lunch at Victoria's followed by a concert at the State Theatre, which is exactly what we did today. We had the same server as last time (I'm afraid I don't recall her name) and she was fantastic. She was attentive and helpful without being intrusive, and she had the perfect mix of professionalism and informality to make our experience very comfortable and friendly for everyone at the table. The food at Victoria's is consistently excellent, which we very much appreciate. Given the quality of the food combined with the service and atmosphere, the prices are very reasonable and appropriate, which is quite rare these days. I look forward to visiting here again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to others looking for a place to dine in New Brunswick.

    It took over an hour for the food to be served, which is far too long. When the food finally arrived, it was underwhelming and far from exceptional.
