Sweet Staff, Juicy Burger, Fair Fee
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. The staff were incredibly sweet and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the food, and my burger was exceptionally juicy. I also want to address the 20% service fee. While some might question it, I found it to be a reasonable and transparent practice, especially after speaking with the manager. It sounds like it ensures everyone is taken care of, including healthcare. I felt it was fair and even added an extra $10, which gets split among the staff. The atmosphere was also rated a 5, contributing to a great overall dining experience.

Expensive Burger, Tasty Cocktail
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The burger was wildly expensive for the quality, seeming to be precooked and reheated meat. On the positive side, the cocktail was tasty and the service was fine. The atmosphere was quiet and easy to talk in.

Incredible Food and People!
My experience at this restaurant was incredible! The people were just as amazing as the food. I absolutely loved the hot chicken sandwich, and the fudge brownie was truly delicious. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service was also a 5. It's a quiet place where you can easily talk, and the food received a perfect score. The price per person is $20–30, and there was no wait time.

Mixed Feelings on Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the pretzel was good, the main courses were disappointing. The burger was cold and lacked flavor, seeming to be missing essential seasoning like salt. Similarly, the fish and chip, though served hot and looking appealing, was also bland. The accompanying coleslaw had an unpleasant slimy texture, and the tartar sauce was overly lemony. On the positive side, the atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service also received a perfect score of 5, with no wait time and a quiet environment conducive to conversation. However, the overall food score was a 3, and parking was somewhat difficult to find.

Spacious spot with good food and beer
My experience at this restaurant was quite pleasant. I liked the space and enjoyed the food. The beer choices were also a highlight, allowing me to relax. It's a rather large space, and I visited on a Sunday evening when it was nearly deserted. I did wonder how noisy it might be on a Friday evening.

Automatic Tip is Highway Robbery
My experience at this restaurant was marked by a significant issue with their automatic tipping policy. Adding 20% automatically is, in my opinion, highway robbery. The concept of TIPs, which stands for TO INSURE PROMPT SERVICE, is undermined when a tip is mandated. I believe restaurants should pay their servers a fair price and allow customers to decide if the service was good enough to warrant an additional tip. The food price was already high enough to afford a reasonable wage. Due to this policy, we will not be back.

Great Food, Fun Atmosphere
This is a nice spot with very good food. We enjoyed the French dip and the Mac and Cheese. The portion size was great and the quality was more than enough. It's definitely a spot to check out. You can grab a drink, watch the game, and enjoy a night out.

Wonderful Experience with Exceptional Service!
We had such a wonderful experience! Having never been here before, I took a chance and brought my elder parents in for lunch while they were visiting me from out of state. They had a tough travel day, and I was scrambling to find a place that had something for everyone. The Victor checked all the boxes, but what really made our visit worth writing about is our bartender/server Kelly! It was like she could sense the stress and exhaustion coming from us. Kelly went above and beyond to take care of us, suggesting the most delicious appetizer (fried polenta) and accommodating all of my father’s drink modifications! Thank you Kelly & Victor Tavern! We’ll be back in soon!

Good Burger, Questionable Value
My experience at this restaurant involved a very good truffle burger and a salad made with fresh ingredients. However, I found the quality-to-price ratio to be not truly adapted to what we ate in the end, which seems to be the case for most places in this city.
