The menu offered a variety of options for any pallet. I order the chicken entree; the chicken breast was flavored well and it melted in my mouth. The service was great. However, I visited not only for the food, but also for the roof top dining. The roof top experience was not as expected. My party of four was seated in a booth with a very limited view. We could not see beyond the filthy windows. We asked to be moved to an empty table with a better view (the high top table) and were told that they were reserved for parties of six…very disappointing. If you want the roof top experience while dining, make sure you have a party of 2 or 6.

Victoria’s was the perfect spot to celebrate our anniversary and my wife’s birthday! The ambiance adds greatly to the experience. Our server was very attentive and the food was excellent! The martini’s were too! Our server brought my wife’s desert with a candle for her birthday. The desert was on them! We will definitely be back!

This place has a great view of golf course and the bay. Our waitress was Remi. She was a pleasure to talk with. There was a minor issue with the food and it was promptly taken care of. I give stronger reviews when things need a bit of tweaking. Remi handled it with kindness and made the evening great. The food was good from the salad to the mains. We will definitely be back.
