| - I have the luxury of living in the Anthem community which is the home of Vic's, and have dined there twice in the week it has been open, a soft-opening period, which means, in my opinion, that it shouldn't be judged too harshly. When the restaurant was operating under previous owners, it had been cited in the Las Vegas Review-Journal as having "the best view in the Valley" and as being "the best place to take a date for dinner."
Vic Vegas (Moea) and his partners have invested a great deal of effort in creating a comfortable ambiance and designing a unique menu of items that are singular for area restaurants. We have very much liked the signature caramel pork chop with stuffing and a caramel-glazed apple, though this dish would probably not be suitable for diabetics. Three of us returned and made a meal out of the "Tapetizer" menu, including these excellent items: meat loaf spring rolls; salmon sliders; and lobster & chips, which is a whole Maine lobster tail, split and fried in a beer batter, accompanied by really good crinkle-cut fries.
Salads are also quite creative, including a field greens salad with "BBQ blue cheese" dressing that was bordering on spectacular.
Within the first few days, management listened to customer complaints about the dinner rolls and quickly switched to rolls that are soft and chewy on the inside, served warm.
