Five of us shared several appetizers (tofu salad, ebi and calamari), a main course (chicken katsu), and a sushi platter. All were excellent. Service was attentive. Highly recommend.

My husband and I always go out for brunch on New Years Day. This year we were very excited to try Victor. If anyone knows how to do a busy brunch it’s the crew at Victor. The food stations were very well maintained. The selections were plentiful and the service was top notch. The restaurant was beautifully appointed, the food was well laid out, we had a wonderful time. Great start to 2025. We’ll be back next year.
