The Victor Tavern

Food and drinks were decent. My partner got the Bleu burger off of the $9 after 9pm menu and liked it. I had fries. They were both good, but not anything outstanding. I tried the NA apple cinnamon shrub and it was not great - it tasted very strongly like I was just drinking apple cider vinegar on the rocks. The bartender offered to make me something else and said it was very acidic and vinegary, but I just preferred water at that point. My partner had the Vic's Kentucky coffee and he said it was alright as well. Overall, the food was decent and the drinks were mixed results. Service - the servers were attentive and helpful and I really appreciated the offer to make me something else when she noticed I didn't seem to like it. 5/5 stars for service. Ambiance - it was a cool little spot. It seems to be in a building with an apartment complex above and several other shops and restaurants elsewhere in the building. We sat at the bar and it was a clean, classy, and modern spot across from the spheres. I'd maybe come back for a beer or happy hour but overall it was all just fine and nothing that knocked my socks off.

At the suggestion of my hotel staff, my wife and I went to The Victor Tavern for a light dinner. What a delightful restaurant located just a short walk from our hotel, StayPineapple. We went inside, but it was a little to loud for me and without hesitation they sat us outside. they have a very attentive and friendly staff here. They clearly work together as a team. We ordered lot of finger food and light eating.- Calamari - nice spiced calamari with a crispy breading and tender calamari.- Smoked wings - something new for me. Nice tasting wing with a good crunch and tender meat.- French dip sliders - Extremely tasty and lean meat on a delicious bunThis, like other establishments our hotel staff gave us were all winners. There was a lot of electricity in the air (even outside as it filled up quickly.)Kudos to the team at The Victor Cafe.

The breakfast has changed a bit over the past year at The Victor Tavern. It's still excellent and one of the best places to enjoy brunch on the weekends. However, the thick bacon is just a bit smaller and thinner and the pancakes are also portioned back a bit. The biscuits and gravy has good flavor.I did try their $9 after 9 and the sandwiches were pretty good, worth a return visit at least.

We had dinner reservations. Overall, the service was extremely slow. It took at least 20 minutes for someone to take our order and then over 45 minutes for our food to come out. We split the Everything Pretzel Bites and the Polenta Fries. The pretzel bites were good, but the Polenta Fries were not. I ordered the Smoky Tavern Wings for my meal, and they were good.

I had been by this place a million times. As a matter of fact, I had taken a foodie tour of South Lake Union, and one of the stops was a place that makes bagels fresh every day. This restaurant shares a space with that place. Let me first say how much I enjoyed the use of space. While The Victor Tavern sits on the ground floor of a new construction apartment building. It somehow has hints of reclaimed materials. Not all of it, but some parts of it look old. To be honest, this is just a glorified sports bar. A place for people who want to watch a game but not have to deal with truly drunken assholes while doing it. That's not a bad thing. The seating is comfortable and thoughtfully arranged, and the staff is friendly. The MAIN issue I had with the place was its lackluster selection of craft beers. There was NOTHING available higher than a 6.8% ABV. I don't know if I just had bad timing or if that's by design. However, if you intend to compete with places like THE YARD HOUSE, you have GOT to step your game up. My martini was excellent, and the spicy calamari I had was light on spice was still good. The double-decker burger I had was so huge I couldn't finish it, and I'm still feeling it today. All in all, if you are in the area and you want to catch a game, this is not a bad place. Just be prepared to be disappointed in the beer menu.

Across from the Amazon Spheres, the Victor is a great burger stop. We had salads and fries and were very impressed. The salad was amazing and the fries were hot and delicious. Our server was really great, the place was busy but we didn't feel rushed or clustered. There's an upper dining area and a nice sized bar, the decor is spot on.

We came in here minutes after happy hour (that was our bad). While we would have loved the happy hour prices, we did enjoy our time, cocktails and food here. For my cocktail, I ordered the Costa Chica. This was so good! This cocktail was bold, lime-y and smoky without being too sweet. I loved the balance and would get this again. We split the Spicy calamari and The Phoenix. The spicy calamari packed a nice heat to them, and the aeoli they were served with was excellent. They even fried some peppers to go with it. They were crunchy and tangy, and I would recommend.The Phoenix sandwich was amazing. Who doesn't love fried chicken? This was spicy and very satisfying. Our choices had nice spice and kick to them, and we loved the ambiance. It was nice to get a break from the hustle of downtown Seattle with the spacious seating, tasteful decor and low lighting.

Excellent spot for happy hour. This is where Tanaka San used to be. We ordered the burger and fried chicken sandwich. Each dish came with a very generous portion of hot fries. We were full for the rest of the night! While nothing we ate was unique, it was all tasty, and given the price, I'd give this place 5 stars for the value.

The food looked great, the ambiance was chill and intimate, close to Amazon, and the server we had was fantastic. Went above and beyond trying to find if there was something celiac safe to drink. There isn't. The soft drinks carry a contamination risk, the cider is not gluten free and the mixed drinks are made with syrups and other ingredients pulverized in a vitamix shared with the kitchen.Our delightful and caring server came back with the best option being the shrub, but it turned out after the fact it was cross-contaminated. If you don't have to be careful about gluten, this place seemed lovely. If you do, this isn't a great choice, but if you can't sway your group to another location, stick to water and bring safe for you food.

A great place to eat downtown. Stopped by for lunch and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is clean and very stylish. The staff are friendly and attentive. The service throughout the meal was spot on. For the food, everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. The Old Bay Prawns were seasoned well and tasted fresh. The steakhouse wedge was filling with perfectly cooked sliced steak and a rich blue cheese dressing. As far as drinks go, the spritz is a refreshing way to go. No complaints here.
