   Awesome! Fun! Educational! I love everything about the Victor. The food, the ambiance, and the OPERA! If you haven’t been here yet, you are missing out.

   Dined here for our daughter’s 21st birthday. Service was good, dinner portions were good, food could’ve used some salt, but that’s a personal preference. Singers were great, just wished they could’ve sung happy birthday.

   What an unforgettable evening! Heard about the special nuance of this place and had to reserve immediately. It's even better than advertised. Food was delicious, service excellent, but the immense talent is the true highlight. Beautiful dining area with rich historic decor on each level and looking forward to going back next time on the weekend to enjoy the upstairs lounge. Will be returning for sure! Highly recommend the veal saltimbocca & spaghetti with braciole & meatballs. Bellissimo 🤌🏼

   Food was amazing!!! Was so hungry I forgot to take a pic! Every 30 mins or so there’s an opera act! Definitely worth going again! We were seated in the main dining room.

   Came back after a couple of years from our last visit and on this occasion unfortunately we were underwhelmed. Had hoped to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary with a memorable meal and atmosphere but something just wasn’t right. We got a tight table in an inconspicuous corner, so didn’t really enjoy the scene as much as we would have liked. The whole fish of the day, while tasty in of itself, had garnishments that were unappealing and disappointing. The service was decent although slower than usual. The opera singers were magnificent as always. Overall not as enjoyable as in several previous visits and on this occasion did not meet our expectations.

    Nice place, booked for my husband’s 50th They said who’s birthday is it and gave him a desert menu, I was expecting it to be free, because in London thats what we do, we paid for dessert and the only difference was a candle. So I wouldn’t book this restaurant for a special birthday

    Victors is my only choice of a resturant. Been there many times. Especially like the cozy quiet atmosphere and good service. I prefer to sit in table in the area near the steps that go up to bathrooms. Too many menu items cited by waiter are not on the written menu makes choice difficult to make and remember. Overall great place.

    What a special night! We came for my husband's birthday with 4 adult children. Everything was perfect. It was our first time here, and we knew about the singing, but it was so much better in person than I imagined. The pacing of the dinner was great. Each course was presented with more than enough time to relax and enjoy everything. Our waitress Luciana was so sweet and friendly. Afterwards we went to the lounge upstairs for a diner. That space is fantastic.

    Really like this place. Just wish they had sat us closer to where yhe singers were since our early dinner 5:30 meant the place was maybe 20% full but they put us in the back room. I asked and they said Oh the singers will walk around your way. They never came of the stairs…. So we had to crane our necks around the corner of the room to get a glimpse Food is good server was friendly not too pricey Will go back but will check better about seating!

    The Victor Cafe was recommended by friends in Richmond, VA. I recommended to my seven traveling companions that we try it. We loved our experience. What a unique venue you have. The talent was truly memorable and we felt very welcomed by your staff. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Start to finish our experience was amazing. We had mussels and prosciutto wrapped crab for appetizers, veal chop and frutti di mare for our entrees. Both were cooked to perfection. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had a beautiful singing voice, as did all the performances. I can't wait to go back!

    It was great!! My fiancé is a huge fan of rocky, so that was the pull to get us there, I would definitely come back based on the food. We each had a special, mine was the lamb bolognese and his was sweet potato stuffed tortolini. So delicious!!!

    We came with 3 of our children (ages 5-15), and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. They were able to cater to food allergies for us, as well. The cocktails were wonderful, and my 5 year old (surprisingly) enjoyed the opera music and singing, as well as the rest of us. I would definitely recommend eating here- great for a romantic date, for those from out of town, or just those who enjoy wonderful singing.

    Great for Rocky Fans as it was Adrienne's in the movies. There is some memorabilia on the walls on the 3rd floor but not over done. The main attraction is the opera singers. Very entertaining and very novel idea. The food was good not great. Apps were the best part. Crab wrapped prosciutto was the best part of the meal. Arancini was also very good. Entree's were good. I got the Crab ravioli special which was very tasty but also very heavy dish. My son had whole fish branzino was okay, had better had worse. Daughter had rigatoni with the eggplant. Big portion however kind of bland. Main reason to go here is the unique ambiance of the opera singing wait staff and the experience of the Rocky connection. Side note does tend to get loud as it is a small place that is very busy.

    I had the pleasure of dining at The Victor Cafe and I was impressed! The atmosphere was wonderful, with opera soloists providing the perfect soundtrack to our meal. My food wasn't up to my sophisticated taste but my husband really enjoyed his meal. Overall, a great experience. If you're looking for a sophisticated evening out with some interesting entertainment, I would definitely recommend The Victor Cafe!

    We had another wonderful visit at The Victor Cafe. We started with the Cesar salad, beet salad, and calamari. The beet salad was delicious. The bread for the table came with an amazing sauce that I could have enjoyed all night. We had three entrees: lamb bolognese which was very rich, the fruit di mare which was good and spicy, and the sweet potato tortelloni which came in a great herb sauce. The singing was spectacular and the service was great. Can’t wait to return!
