                                I have eaten in other Cuban restaurants before and I found that the food here was not as good. It was cold salty, and overpriced. On the other hand I was seated right away although I was early and staff was attentive.

                                Very nice spot. Guacamole was excellent. Shrimp enchilados tasty, but the shrimp were a bit "mealy". Service was excellent at bar and table. Companion loved the bronzino. Would definitely go again if in the area.

                                Went to Victor’s after a matinee show. Arrived 30 minutes earlier than our reservation but they seated us right away. Service was great. Food came out very quickly and was delicious from drinks to apps to entrees to dessert. Would definitely go back. Great place before or after a show.
