"From the minute we stepped into Victor's Cafe, we felt very welcomed by the Maitre D'. The food was outstanding and our waiter was fantastic. This is a great place to eat and I honestly have nothing at all negative to say about it. If you want the most delicious food with welcoming hospitality and superb service, this is the place to eat. You will be delighted! I can't wait to go back."

"I have been to this restaurant in the past and was very happy with this visit. The food was delicious as always. It took a little while to flag down the waiter but once we got his attention the service was impeccable. There was live music at the bar and the atmosphere was very energetic. I would go back to this restaurant."

"We dined at Victors after a Saturday matinee performance. It was the first time in more than 10 years and the cafe has maintained its high standards and efforts to satisfy their customers. I will be back, and not after such a long absence."

"Of the four of us dining at Victor's, three enjoyed their meals, particularly the 2 people who ordered ropa vieja.. One meal was not good - the arroz con pollo, consisting of 2 small pieces of chicken with tiny shards of bone throughout the rice ( mushy overcooked rice,) with only one olive and 2 green beans in it and no seasoning. Tasteless."

"Food was very tasty. Service was great - friendly staff. Location was ideal for theater or shows at Radio City. Terrific choice for something out of the ordinary. Only negative: sangria was on the pricey side; however, it was good."

"Great restaurant! We had friends visiting with a 15 month old.... They were staying at 53rd and 7thso we needed a place close by, kid-friendly, yet also festive and delicious as thiswas a special occasion reunion kind of dinner. Victor's fit the bill on all fronts!Staff SO friendly and accommodating (gave us a huge table with a high chair),food = really delicious, and gorgeous ambiance. Great natural light(we ate at 6:30 so sun still out) and relaxing, open decor. What a gem in this part of NYC !!!!"
