I'm giving 3 stars because of the service that my wife and I received. But the food? It was late at night and I know that most people who drink don't really pay attention to what they eat just as long as they're chewing on something while intoxicated. If drunk a piece of shoe leather tastes like fillet mignon even though a bit tough. However, we weren't drunk and was aware of everything. My wife ordered the Patty Melt. It looked like the character "Horror" from the movie Pagemaster. Bent, burnt and just sitting there. The fries were warm and not hot at all. Watching my wife try to navigate through that mess was worthy of being on TV Bloopers! It was hilarious. Then my order came. A NY Strip steak, salad and mashed potatoes. Sound good huh? It wasn't. The potatoes were cold and the gravy looked like it had come off someone else's plate. And the steak? Let me put it this way, if that steak was a fighter he would be undefeated. Tougher than a UFC champion. So after cutting a piece and trying to eat it I gave up. So I as a former chef from the east coast I say this to the cook...It's timing, spices, temp and seasoning. Food should caress the palate and not choke the throat. The greatest natural tenderizer is margarine so when you are tenderizing steaks use margarine as your foundation. A medium well steak..3 min seared both sides. Well done..5 minutes. Rare..2 minutes. Never serve overcooked veggies. Remember to open braise the meat to lock in the flavors. This is a technique of capturing steak drippings and adding spices and lightly brushing the solution over the meat. The steak will be so tender that you can cut it with a spoon!! Never, ever serve potatoes that are over 20 minutes old. Your food is your artwork so stop betraying the profession. The rep of your employer rides on your performance as a restaurant chef. It can't be faked. Always remember, ANYONE can man a grill and burn a piece of meat. A "cook" follows routine, a Chef creates. It is my hope that my criticism propels you to be so good at your craft that Victory must make reservations instead of walk ins. Everyone has an off day. Just strive to do better. You'll be just fine. On your breakfast menu try cheese biscuits, cheese grits, eggs over easy and bacon. Your patron line...
Read moreA lovely 50s themed restaurant in Cannery Casino. It serves old fashioned home cooked meals I.e. open faced plate sandwiches meat loaf chicken finger and more. I would have given it a 4 star but we had waitress issues. We went in for dinner they were not super busy so we ordered our drinks. Our waitress comes back with the drinks and takes our order great right? Well about 10-12 minuets go by and all of the sudden our waitress comes back to verify our order as she is flipping through her order book. She has obviously forgotten to put our order in and forgotten witch order was ours. Hence the need to verify our order again but she lies and tells us O no she just wanted to make sure she got it right. So about 25 more minutes go by and still no food. By this time we had watched numerace tables come in after us order and all ready get there food. I went and asked for management. A very nice elderly woman with a manager tag on came over I explained to her what was go I g on. She went into the kitchen and came back with our food and a lame excuse for delay. Saying the cook had over cooked the first plate of food and had to remake it. Well if that were the case then why did our waitresses not just come out and explain e this to us when it happened instead of just neglecting to tell us? Our food we finally did get was ok but not worth that...
Read moreHotel was cool. Went to Victor's bar and grill to get a bite to eat after some gambling. We seated ourselves. Didn't get attended to for at least 15 minutes. After we ordered food took longer than we waited to order. After we got our food to order we waited to see our server in site after we ate to get our check...when we didn't see her after a while (about 10 minutes or so) I approached the bar to ask the bartender. His name was Mike...when I approached him he was having a conversation with another customer at the bar. I tried to get his attention by standing in his eyesight for about a minute or so. Then I said "excuse me." He didn't answer. Then I asserted my voice and he put his finger up at me and said "I'm having a conversation." He was extremely disrespectful and I let him know that. I talked to a kind lady that was over food and beverage at this place....her name escapes me at the moment. In conclusion I will never go back to this place. After me and my company were finally seen by a server....another group of people came in and were attended to within 5 minutes. Unacceptable. It's a huge disappointment. I felt belittled and disrespected. I wish I could have given this place a better review because I had been looking forward to coming here looking up the restaurants in...
