    Upon arrival they had complimentary valet which was great due to the poor weather. We checked in with the friendly hosts and were seated in Joey's section right away. Joey our server, was one of the most energetic happy waiters we have ever had, felt like friends by the end of our meal. We ordered one of their pasta specials as an appetizer (white truffle pasta) and it was worth every dollar. For our meals, the Spinalis Cut (Rib cap) medium and Australian Wagyu Ribeye medium with mashed potatoes and crispy Brussels. Everything we ate was prepared perfect and every bite was top notch. For dessert we had the S'mores which was incredible too with a couple single espressos. Jasper Stone impressed us with its Valentine's Day decorations, flawless service and incredible food. We absolutely recommend coming here and can't wait to come back multiple times, they absolutely earned our repeat business!

    We had an amazing experience at Victoria's and on Valentine's Day no less. We had an 8pm reservation and were seated within 10-15 minutes of 8 o'clock. The host and management staff were extremely kind and courteous even though the restaurant was packed to capacity. Our server Sarah was pleasant and cheerful as well as offered excellent suggestions. I had the eggplant which was amazing and my GF had the filet mignon which was cooked to medium rare perfectly. Overall it was a very pleasant experience with great ambiance and definitely worth the price and wait. We will definitely be back! If you're looking for a nice dinner before a show this is the place to go!

    We have been celebrating Valentine Day here for years. The food and staff are always outstanding. The chef is a genius. From the bread basket to the desert to the fancy sparkling waters this place never disappoints. The lobster dish alone is worth a trip here.
