Reviews for Victor's Cafe in New York, NY

A wonderful pre-theater spot with yummy Cuban cuisine, tasty cocktails and amazing service. Ricardo is seriously the best! And... the hostess and other staff were great too on a busy Saturday night. Read more

I highly recommended this place. Great location, delicious food, and excellent service. I was really impressed by the sir who... served us. We were there for my husband’s birthday, and the attention was perfect. They signed a birthday card for him. Thankyou!! Read more

The opulence of this venue is wonderful. The fans shuffling amid the plants hanging from the well lit ceiling is so therapeutic.... This cafe is situated in the heart of time square within walking distance of all the greatest theaters. The portion sizes willreflect the prices and I am so great full for that. We left well fed and a little boozed! Try the Bacardi rum coco mojito andthank me later. Our server Victor was very professional and always helpful with fresh napkins and drink suggestions. I will mostdefinitely be back for more of those delicious eggs Benedict and brisket. Wonderful job everyone. Have a great day! Read more

We decided to come here in the spur of the moment, quickly made reservations and walked over. They were organized and seated... people in a timely manner. Those without a reservation they gave them realistic wait times and/or let them know what seatingwould be available. This is already a step up from the location we left. We had a great time here. Our waiter Diego was awesome!Diego made the dining experience that much better with such a friendly Pleasant personality. Talk about knowing good customerservice! A+++ As previously mentioned this was a spur of the moment visit due to leaving from a different establishment so wemade last minute reservations that were accepted and honored without issue. We arrived a few minutes early but were informedthat it wasn't a problem and we would be seated soon. The restaurant may look small at first glance but it's actually prettyspacious. We were seated in the area with the skylight which was great since it was still light out. And the food!?Awesome!! Our table spread consisted of: maduros, tostones, Ropa Vieja with white rice and black beans, Arroz Con Pollo,ensalada de palmitos y mandarinas, ceviche de camarónes, and flan. Everything was delicious! The ropa vieja was flavorful andthe beef wasn't so shredded it looked weird or inedible. Even the black beans were good. It wasn't just a side of black beansplopped down in a bowl. The maduros and tostones both made just right! The maduros wasn't mushy or under cooked and the tostonesweren't over cooked and rock hard. The arroz con pollo had nice juicy pieces of chicken This was a plus because we were tryingit out during restaurant week to see if we would want to come back in the future. We also tried cocktails and they were thewhite sangria, the coconaty mojito, and the Hemingway daiquiri (which isn't like a typical daiquiri). Plus we didn't at anypoint feel rushed which is a bonus! After a hectic frustrating day coming here was a great ending and a pleasant visit. W Read more

I crossed Victor's Cafe many times before I actually went there, but I was struck by how large and magnificent the indoors... portion of the restaurant was. The food was excellent, the cocktails were great, and the servers were very hospitable. Wouldhighly recommend this place for a nice meal. Check it out :-) Read more

This was our first time in a Cuban restaurant. The food was excellent, perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The... beautiful decor and great music added to a wonderful experience here dining with friends. Definitely a great restaurant to visitbefore a Broadway show. Read more

Very cool Cuban restaurant in Manhattan. On the pricey end of the scale, but the quality of the food and the atmosphere... contribute to the hefty check. The menu clearly indicates which dishes are gluten-free or vegetarian, desserts included! Read more
