| - We went to the Vic with another couple for dinner last Friday, September 16th. We read the reviews and some were not so great, but we thought that maybe it was because they had just opened; we were hoping they had ironed out the kinks. Guess what, they have not. Someone said this place was "swanky" in their review and I am shocked, although the bar stools were nice.
We had a reservation for 4, were seated and sat there for quite a while without anyone stopping by the table. A gentleman who introduced himself as the Club Manager approached our table and asked if he could help, he was pleasant and attempted to take our drink orders when our waiter finally showed up. We were told we were in good hands, we were not. The waiter took our drink order and I had ordered a smokey mango margarita and he came back and told me they couldn't make it because they were out of mangos. The Club Manager came back by and said that he had ordered us a couple of appetizers, trying to right a wrong and we do appreciate his effort.
We had the candied bacon, which was great...that's where the great ended. The thai flatbread had so much cilantro on it that you couldn't see the ingredients underneath, seriously overkill. Waiter asked for our dinner order and my husband asked if there was a special entrée and we were told no, only dessert and he didn't elaborate on that. My husband inquired about the fish choice that was nondescript on the menu and said "market price", the waiter tried to explain the fish as a cross between salmon and halibut but "chewier". What, that doesn't sound appetizing but I bit and asked how it was prepared, he said, "I don't know, let me go ask". Again, seriously?! He came back and said, "with some fruit, pineapple". We ordered the lemon chicken, flat steak, BLT and the fish sandwich.
The meals came and they were all awful, we have never had 4 strike outs so this was a first. The waiter came by to see how things were, but it was clear he wasn't really interested. Our friend said his lemon chicken had a lot of gristle and bones, he asked if he wanted to talk to the chef, we passed because we didn't have anything nice to say and the waiter turned and left. The flank steak was chewy and not flavorful, the BLT was weak with no mayo, aioli or any sauce on the bread and the fish sandwich was so bland and blah I didn't waste the calories to eat it. The fries were ok.
To sum it up, the Vic has hit a homerun in the disappointment category and provided a couple of first, horrible service and truly awful meals. Please heed the reviews unless Kitchen Nightmares revamps this place, it's a zero.
