   The venue is spectacular. Service was excellent. The food was good but not up to our expectations. I got the shrimp and grits. Good but not amazing as I expected. The fried green tomatoes. We didn’t even eat them all. Maybe we should have tried the steak? But at these places you like to try different things.

   The food was excellent, however it was a bit loud to have conversations. Our server was okay, & very friendly, however my salad came out with my husband’s dinner, instead of with his appetizer. It’s one thing to have food runners, but the server should check in and rarely did, we were out of water and then our wine with dinner took a long time to come as well so we were almost finished our main course by then. So yes I would recommend the food, but for a Monday night I thought the service would have been better.

   The location is great. Was a very busy night and service was very slow. Food was average to poor- my husband sent his fried oysters back- too mushy and greasy.

   I’ve had much better experiences.. request a window seat when I did the reservation and that was not honored..my food came out cold and I was never offered a refill when my glass was empty.. Just not a good experience today..

   My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience at Vic’s on the River! The food was very tasteful and the atmosphere was charming. Our server, Mike, was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks! We love Vic’s!

   Our server, Aaron, did an excellent job. He was friendly and attentive. The room with the view of the river is beautiful, the pear salad and the fried green tomatoes were awesome. The shrimp and grits was a little too mushy for us, and we would like to come again one day and try a different entree. All in all, however, we had a lovely evening.

    The was a disappointing lunch. The staff were wonderful and gracious but the food was atrocious. The restaurant is supposed to be upscale. The food was not. I ordered the she crab soup and fried green tomato blt. The soup was too thick (gummy) filled with cold clumpy crab. The taste was good and original with a creole flair but I just couldn’t get over the texture. The sandwich was worse. It was supposed to be served on toasted sourdough. I would expect a restaurant of this caliber to use bread, if not made in house, than at least purchased from a bakery. This was more like the cheap knockoff sourdough you can find a Walmart (yes I too am guilty of using the cheap bread but no one is expecting gourmet from me). As for toasted? The bead was not toasted but had been quickly layed on a grill to get the marks but still uncooked through out. The actual fried green tomato was good but I had to remove it from the sandwich half to enjoy it. I was too sad to eat the other half. My husband had the pecan breaded flounder. He found something “off” about the breading but once he scraped it off he enjoyed the fish.
