    The food is great, and the service is good. However, there’s a seating issue to note: even if you book a standard table, you may be seated outdoors unless you specifically “request” indoor seating in the OpenTable app. If you don’t make that request, there’s a big chance you’ll end up outside, even in cold weather. It would be great if the booking system with the restaurant clarified this or if staff confirmed seating preferences ahead of time.

    Awesome service and delicious food in a beautiful restaurant. The food presentation is beautiful and is served promptly. I highly recommend the scallops and if available the, uni. The brussel sprouts are addictive. I will have the lamb on my next visit. For desert, the Green Tea Opera is outstanding! Don’t miss this gem in Vancouver!

    My husband and I always go out for brunch on New Years Day. This year we were very excited to try Victor. If anyone knows how to do a busy brunch it’s the crew at Victor. The food stations were very well maintained. The selections were plentiful and the service was top notch. The restaurant was beautifully appointed, the food was well laid out, we had a wonderful time. Great start to 2025. We’ll be back next year.
