   Four of us visited Victor's Cafe for Sunday brunch. The decor is quite charming. We were each able to find something to eat on the brunch menu, though it did seem limited. It was the only menu available at the time. Food was a bit slow being delivered. The Hollandaise sauce for the Eggs Benedict was supposed to be on the side. It was not. The rice bowl was on a flat plate, not in a bowl. One member of our party ordered a cup of coffee. It arrived in a true coffee cup with a saucer. The cup was not full. When a refill was requested, the waiter informed us that he would need to charge for a second cup of coffee. This seemed rather odd, especially since the original cup was rather small. Churros were ordered for dessert. Six 3-inch churros with 3 different dipping sauces cost $14.00. We think Victor should reconsider the coffee policy and be more generous with some of its offerings. Though it is a great location, I don't think we will be rushing back.

   We were rushed by our waiter at an early 5:15 pre theater dinner . We specifically told the waiter we wanted some time spaced between cocktails and food being served. We received our dinner 5 minutes later, very disappointing. The food was not prepared to cook. The rice quality seemed like it was in a steam table for 6 hours. Maybe 4 ounces of chicken with it. We did order desert after being pestering 3 times by waiter. We again said di not bring coffee and desert until cocktails done. Not listened to and came in 5 minutes. Overall very terrible rushed, fair at best food served. Too bad because I used to visit Victor's Cafe in it's hey day in both Miami and NYC. We thought we would try again. Big mistake. Go elsewhere fast. Skip Victor's Cafe.

   We requested a nice table and were very pleased with it. The decor is spectacular. Food was good but service was extremely rushed. It was a lot of money to have servers constantly hovering. Our order arrived in what seemed like 5-10 minutes so we didn’t have time to enjoy our conversation.

   We really enjoyed the live music, food, excellent service and colorful decor. It’s a must-do experience. We were very impressed with how organized the staff were and team communication was excellent in servicing patrons. It was our favorite place to dine on this trip

    Plantains were served cold and too hard as if sitting in the kitchen all day. The lechon or roast pig was very salted. Still tasty but a salt mine. The guacamole appetizer had very little guacamole-it was a mix of chips mostly. We ordered a martini and the glass was not full as if the waiter spilled it. Afterwards we thought after 39 years of going there, we wouldn’t ever go back.
