    We had an amazing dinner! The beef carpaccio was delicious and the crawfish beignets were some of the best I have ever had! So light! I had the scallops for dinner and they were cooked to perfection. My friend had the Halibut special and it was awesome as well! We finished off the dinner with crème brûlée and cheesecake with pralines. Such a wonderful dinner

    The ambiance was nice. The tables are extremely small and they serve the food on larger dishes. We felt crowded. The food was just okay. Our server did not have much of a personality.

    Overall it was a nice experience. Our server was very personable. We started off with biscuits, a wedge salad, & French onion soup, all of which were tasty and so well prepared. The short run was excellent, mashed potatoes were salty as was the salmon. Vegetables barely blanched, but they kindly gave us some that were cooked to perfection. Dessert was a big disappointment. We ordered pecan pie with peach ice cream. The pie was cold and bland; not worth the calories. Whipped cream was coolwhio or something equally artificial and I felt the same about the ice cream.

    Service and ambiance were great. Oysters were horrible. The worst I’ve ever had. And the pork chop was extremely over salted. Maybe they were having a rough day in the kitchen.

    We like Vic's and go there often. Our server was terrific. Could not have been better. Some small issues with the food this time, though. We ordered a calamari app and the portion was very small. One of ordered crab cakes and they came out cold. The others had no complaints about the entrees. It was very loud last night, made having a conversation difficult.

    I have crazy mixed feelings on this place mostly because of Brent, our server, and the food and drink...all of which were outstanding. But that's where the good ends. I made a reservation on OpenTable, the restaurant's reservation platform of choice. I indicated that it was my wife's birthday and we would like a window table. Upon arrival, the male host said he got no such request and was extremely dismissive of us. I offered to show him my request on the app and he ignored it. The female hostess then sat us at a table about 5 rows back from the windows...she seemed to care less when I tried to explain the dilemma. I returned to the desk where the male host was seating a couple (who I heard say they had no reservation) at a window table (I believe we may have been the wrong ethnicity as that couple was the same ethnicity as the host). I repeated my request for a window table and now we were given a table a row away from the window. I then asked about a remaining empty window table and was told it was reserved. We enjoyed a drink, our dinner and dessert, spoke to a manager who gave us someone else's business card and left the restaurant, taking a picture of the still empty table by the window. While the food and the server were great, we still had the feeling of being discriminated against, something we never felt before. I would not recommend nor will we return.

    If you can’t make even a semi-decent Cesar salad or butter pasta for kids that isn’t reheated to the point it’s hard, you’re doing something wrong. Heard afterwards from a local that it hasn’t been any good since about ‘06. That’s the best thing I can say about the place.

    What a wonderful dining experience! It was everything we hoped starting with the perfect window table where we watched activity on the Savannah River. The Oysters Rockefeller were some of the very best we have ever enjoyed! Hubby chose the seared scallops which were cooked to perfection as was the risotto! I chose the shellfish melange which did not disappoint! Our server Jessica anticipated our every need, suggesting wine to complement our food choices AND brought us a special anniversary treat to share - which although we really didn’t need, we truly enjoyed! We can’t say enough positive things about this experience and can’t wait to go back!

    We really enjoyed our experience. Seated promptly when we arrived. Gorgeous views of the Savannah river. The “She crab” soup was a delicious appetizer. Wife had the shrimp and I had the pecan Flounder. Both were excellent with ample portions. Overall, an experience we hope to repeat soon.

    I have eaten at Vic’s many times and never had a complaint. This last visit was not stellar. I wasn’t going to complain but when I received your email I decided to do the rating . The food was excellent. The ambiance was wonderful. Our waiter was very inattentive. I ordered wine by the glass and was never offered a refill. We ordered dessert and coffee. The coffee came and we enjoyed it. However, the dessert came after we had finished our coffee. No offer of more coffee. When the coffee came he did not give us spoons. The forks given for our dessert were the large dinner ones.. There was a lapse waiting for the check. I tipped him 18% which was a gift and did so mainly because he hovered while I finished the credit card . We will return again as we love Vic’s but this was a bust.

    We were celebrating my husbands birthday so we booked at Vic’s. I couldn’t have booked a better place! The she-crab soup is AMAZING! I would order this every time! The biscuits with honey butter were absolutely the best I’ve ever had. They were fluffy and soft and perfectly sized! Dinner was the BBQ meatloaf for both of us and we cleaned our plates with the exception of some meatloaf we brought home to enjoy the next evening so now we have something to eat tomorrow evening while we reflect on this lovely and delicious meal! Oh and thank you Vic’s for the delicious birthday dessert for my husband! It was also very good!!! 🎂
