After a round of "killer" mojitos, my brother and I settled in to taste a bit of Cuban cuisine. My brother's inquisitiveness about menu items was dealt with by our waiter with informative and graceful responses. The food was a solid representation of the cuisine with a wonderful dish of suckling pig a real standout. Presentation is a bit of... more

My daughter and I ate at Victor's during our trip to NYC in August and we found the food and service top notch. I had Red Snapper and black beans, my daughter had the Paella. I'm not necessarily a fan of black beans but these were to die for, and the Red Snapper was perfect. My daughter loved the Paella... more

I just booked this by restaurante by searching on yahoo maps, hoping it would be close to our broadway show (Wicked) and not too pricey (its also near Hairspray and Jersey boys). WELL. The food was excellent, the service was amazingly fast, the prices werent too crazy, and it is RIGHT in theater district. Definitely would go there again. Great... more
