    Had dinner at Victor’s Cafe before the Jim Gaffigan show at Radio City Music Hall. Sat outside in the tent and surprisingly no street traffic noise. The Mojito was delicious as was the sangria. The evening’s special was braised short ribs which were to die for. Service was excellent and we were on our way to the show with time to spare, a few short blocks away. Highly recommend!

    Hi it was more of a family get together. The food and drinks were very good. However my food arrived at the table cold and another guest ordered a meal with chicken and she stated that she only had 3 PCs of chicken.

    We were celebrating a return to a city we live at our favorite restaurant for over 20 years. Every time we are in NYC we come to Victor’s. Food, service and atmosphere is wonderful. We feel like we are home here.

    Other than the Skinny Mojito that my friend ordered (Bethanny Frankel product? Whether or not, there should not be a skinny mojito), the food at Victor's Café is as authentic and legitimate as it is delicious and beautiful.
