    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.

    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!
