    Saddly, we did not have a great experience and service was slow. Unusual since we have eaten at the other Victory restaurants and have always had terrific food and service. The arrabiatta sauce was so spicy it was inedible- unfortunate since I love all things spicy. Our server was able to replace my meal with the eggplant salad which was great but my fellow diners were done with their meals by the time I was served. Ending our evening on a sour note, the server charged for the meal I didn’t eat until I asked him to take it off. I would recommend you try the Victory in Oak Park.

    I've eaten here multiple times and usually like it, but was disappointed with the taste of my meal this time. I ordered the chicken pesto rigatoni, which was a special. The sauce had no flavor. I also was disappointed with cannoli. The shell was not fresh. But I did LOVE LOVE the cherry sangria!

    We came for an early pre-concert dinner. It was very muggy outside and coming in to sit down for a relaxing dinner was not at all comfortable temperature-wise. It was SO HOT inside which made it all the more unpleasant. The drink I got was completely watered down- could not even taste the alcohol in it (got 2 drinks- one was a little better than the other). The Ceasar salad was delicious and family style portion perfect for the 4 of us. I got chicken Marsala which was pretty good- not the best I’ve had but I’d order it again for sure. The server could have been a bit friendlier given our lighthearted nature and trying to have a pleasant enjoyable evening. I didnt complain about anything as I didn’t feel like even going there. I don’t get out much any more and when I do I just want to be able to sit back and relax. I’d come again if the temperature inside was comfortable and if promised a stronger drink!

    Love Victory Tap. In general, they have great food and staff who are super friendly. On this visit, the food was excellent and the service exceptional, but it was SO loud when we sat down that is was almost impossible to have a conversation. The addition of acoustic tiles or something would be super helpful.

    Food was average. Pork chops, fish were both very dry. The noise level and acoustics make it hard to have a conversation with anyone not seated very close by. Annoyingly loud! Server was very kind although lacking awareness which added to wait times for clearing table of used plates and utensils, empty drinks, main dishes took forever.

    Nice place. Food was very good. The service needs work. Management should train the servers better on customer engagement ( like giving the customer their name), bringing salads at the same time, making sure water glasses are refilled, asking if refills on bar beverages are desired , offering a dessert menu / coffee, and just asking if everything is ok. None of this happened from our server but of course the check appeared on time. In addition, no manager walked around to inquire how our dining experience w a s. I would still visit again but I would expect a more welcoming experience or it would be my last time.

    The only complaint we had was about the noise level. It is a small room and there was a large group ( about 14-16) celebrating a birthday. They did not seem to be unusually loud but my friend and I could not hear each other. We love the food and we put up with the noise level. It is probably the acoustics and it it is appealing to large and small groups. It has too many pluses to let the noise level stop us!

    Service with Lisa is great! Food was good. I was disappointed how they handled the entree served, raw scallops that should had been blacken seared. Obviously I was not going to eat the raw scallops so I sent it back to get cooked. Manager brought back the same plate with the same scallops cooks more, however only 3 scallops were returned with plate. Not sure if they dropped the other 2 in kitchen and didn’t replace. Was disappointing that the manager didn’t even say a word, nothing just put down the dish in front of me. I had to stop her and ask for a fork, as I had no utensils. She brought me one and again no response. Would had been a kinder gesture to apologize for their terrible error in not cooking seafood (especially). Honestly I should had sent it back again and ate at home. Very disappointing with the manager.
