Had a great night. Our server Charlie was awesome. I had my wisdom teeth out a little over a week ago and got a dry socket. I was feeling good enough to eat today but my medication wore off right before entrees. I wanted to go home because I was getting uncomfortable and Charlie was super understanding and quick with getting us some to go boxes and our check. I really appreciated the kindness! Food was great even warmed up later when I felt okay to eat!

My family and I visited Vic's to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. It was an amazing experience. The elevator was key as my husband has a disability. The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. The server was OUTSTANDING and made our entire experience. The drinks were subtly strong! The food. Oh the food! Delicious! Overall, this experience adds a great memory to my daughter's memory of her 21st birthday.

Neat place, great food - I did the chef's courses which were also available as individual plates. I did wonder if the portion sizes were a bit smaller? Extensive wine selection is an understatement...
