| - My friend and I decided to stop by The Vic for drinks one recent Friday after work. We were drawn to the patio, as we liked the music they were playing and the vibe was good. Our server sat us quickly at a table for 2 and brought us our menus.
We ordered a bottle of wine (overpriced - as usual in this city), an order of hummus served with pita triangles and olives. The hummus and the olives were delicious, but we could have used more pita triangles. Half way through our hummus and wine, 2 of our friends messaged us that they were going to join us. We quickly informed our server and he moved us to a table for 4 without any fuss. We ordered a second bottle of wine and our friends ordered a pitcher of Pimms for - wait for it...$48! Oh well, it's their money I guess.
The night, while initially pleasant, quickly grew chilly and we asked our server to light the propane heater above our table. This provided us with quite a bit of entertainment, as he struggled to light it...a guest from another table helped him and they finally got it lit yay!
The service was good, the vibe was cool and the food was tasty, however the drinks were overpriced and the bathrooms were pretty far away, deep in the dank, dark basement and most of the stalls were out of toilet paper.
Overall, the service, great vibe and food made it worth it. I will likely return because the patio is so awesome. Though the little Italian place right next to it has a cute patio, and I found myself checking out their menu board...
