    Once we were seated everything was great. Excellent food, terrific server, nice casual pubby atmosphere with an energetic vibe. Somewhat overpriced (as too many restaurants are these days) , and the front end was sort of a mess with diners waiting way past their reservation time for tables to open up. The hostess staff was very nice and apologetic about the wait, but still there should be a better way to manage reservations to meet expectations. Got things off on the wrong foot, but everything else made up for it.

    Fantastic food, especially the New Year’s specials like cheesy pull apart bread and lobster ravioli. Service was a little slow. Food was quick to be delivered to our table - entrees came out before we were done with appetizers - but was delivered by runners rather than our server so we had to sit with empty glasses till our server finally returned. Probably a staffing issue due to the New Year’s holiday.

    Another delicious meal and experience at the wonderful Victory Park Tavern. Our server, Melissa, was excellent and pleasant as she always is. The food was outstanding. We started with the burrata and fig jam special which was so good. My husband and daughter each had the hangar steak which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. So flavorful according to both! I had the Chilean sea bass which was awesome. I continue to highly recommend VPT for delicious and creative food and a most enjoyable all-around dining experience.

    Another great experience at the Drifthouse—food, surroundings, and view are wonderful. However, the consistent attentive, professional, and very friendly staff are always reasons to return frequently. The manager, Hafid Elbroji, always makes us feel welcome and at home. Thank you!
