Great food. Bit pricy but worth it if you are looking to enjoy the evening or to impress a new girlfriend or pamper your loved ones. Icelandic with wild rice or lobster with risotto or steak. We were 9 people and everyone enjoyed their order. The wine bottle they opened was ruined and they quickly replaced it. Highly recommend this place.

Stunning venue. Wonderful service. Great food and beverage. Hosted a private party here and could not recommend it enough. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful and make it a success. They were absolutely lovely to work with! If you're looking for impeccable class and a great vibe, this is your spot.

Victor nailed the essence of Modern French quisine. The maple and steak seasoning on the roasted nuts is perfection! We were delighted with everything we ate. The burger was delicious, the gnocchi delightful and, oh my goodness, I've never tasted such amazing asparagus. It was obviously quite fresh and of high quality to begin with, but the way it was prepared was superb! With service on point, our dining experience was tops!

I had to write a second review. We came back to see Natasha - best server in Toronto. And I asked her to make me a drink that was sweet and hard and purple. She hit the ball out of the park with this one. They need this on the menu. I named it the Windu after Mace Windu Jedi master. Natasha thank you again for a great evening and the best service I seen in years.

Absolutely love this place. It’s the best hidden gem I ever found. You have to come here. The lamb is incredible, and our server Natasha was there for everything we needed.

We ate here on our last night in the hotel. We ate early, pre-theatre, so the restaurant was pretty empty. The food was delicious.

This may be the most under-rated place in Toronto. Everything about our dinner there on August 5 was spectacular. My starter-an asparagus veloute-began subtly and proceeded to infuse my taste buds with delectable flavors of the vegetable, pepper, an amazing soy creme fraiche, and more. Snapper was moist and seasoned to perfection blending salty and sweet; paired appealingly with a crisp chard and almonds. Bread pudding for dessert was to die for; all, served attentively in a stylish setting. Strongest recommendation-

Celebrate my niece’s birthday at V, we were enjoyed food and the ambience. The cocktail were awesome, service was beyond 5 stars.

They have 18% service charge included and there’s no notice of it. The cuisine is not great except for entrees and the service is mediocre. Never ever again

So we showed up as a large group and we were very excited to go to the rooftop patio but were told the reservation was incorrect - clearly they had a mixup.

Ok so we were excited to sit in the dining room but the manager there had a serious attitude and was clearly upset that we were a larger group than expected. We gave the place a chance because of the amazing reviews; the food was great but the service was god awful.

We waited forever for our drinks, water took some time overall just not a great experience.

French cuisine with an Asian accent. This is a wonderful small restaurant in the heart of the city, but off the beaten path. Perfect for a romantic evening or a family gathering for fine dining.

Came today for a last minute dinner we reserved today online. Food was great and service was amazing. I didn’t get the name of our waiter however on our receipt it said Sebastian. He was amazing. Very attentive and perfect timing to pour more wine in our glass. Thank you for a great date night tonight.

I had the mushroom appetizer and they served complimentary hot Olive bread. The bread was so good, i asked for seconds. My main course was lamb and it was delicious. It melted in my mouth. The plate was served artistically. The prices are high. It's a nice place for a special Occasion.

Finally came here after living on the same street for four years.
Talented Baker. Chef needs improvement. The olive bread and bread pudding for dessert were my favourite parts of the experience; they were superb. The salmon nicoise for the app was just OK - the description mentioned an egg but there was no visible egg on the plate. The braised lamb shank with a side of brussel sprouts & butternut squash risotto as mains were underwhelming. Too many components were under-roasted by 20-30 minutes. The squash, brussel sprouts, carrots, etc.were too firm; they should be fork-tender. Sunflower seeds mixed into the risotto also didn’t work. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The ambience is a bit dull, although it works if your goal is to have a private, quiet dinner as this place has a small dining area which is rarely full.

Awesome experience! Had a great time! The service by Yuki was great! She made sure that we were very comfortable and satisfied. Had pan roasted chicken and NY strip steak. The food was excellent!

Elegant decor and atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, and tasty food and drinks. It was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I'd definitely come back to try their other dishes.

They served fresh, warm bread to start with butter. I had the braised lamb shoulder for my entrée. The lamb had a good crust to it and was fairly soft in most parts. There were some parts that tasted a bit dry, but it was a pleasant dish overall. The sauce was rich and full of flavour.

I also had a few cocktails, and each one was very well balanced and it they had their own special twists to put their own signature on otherwise classic cocktails.

Decor is nice. Atmosphere is definitely a chill vibe. Food is not better than The Keg and is way overpriced for what it is. Nothing stood out, bland favour and poor execution of protein. Sent the Salmon back cause it was overcooked. Come for drinks and maybe appetizers, but skip the entrees.

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant located near lots of stuff to do. The interior was designed by a French architect and design (I believe) and you can feel the French fusion throughout. Modern, sexy, this would be a great date spot. Food was incredible and the service was too.

The first time we came to Victor’s, it was amazing, which is why we returned on Saturday night. We brought my niece, who’s 10. We were the first people in the restaurant, as we were twenty minutes early for our 6: 15 reservation, and they were nice enough to seat us. The wait staff was knowledgeable about the menu and was helpful. Once the charcuterie board was delivered, the experience went downhill and fast. We had tickets for Singing in the Rain, and while we weren’t in a rush, we figured we had given them more than enough time to get our food to us. However, our server didn’t check on us during our appetizer to ask if we were done, and in fact, waited until almost 7: 15 before removing the board. She didn’t put our order through until that time. Her excuse for the food being late was that the restaurant was packed. And while it was busy, again, we were the first people in the place. We had ordered two burgers and a steak. The steak was for my niece – which was cooked to perfection so kudos on that – but us two adults asked for our meals to be boxed to go. We were given a discount on our bill, which was a nice gesture, however, we had to make sure my niece ate something so she wouldn’t be starving during the show. The result of her having to rush through her steak was a stomach ache halfway through the show. I ate my meal once I got home. The burger was burnt, as was the bun. It was not a pleasant experience at all.

As season ticket holders for Mirvish, we like to have dinner close to the theatre so we’re not rushed. However, we doubt we’ll be returning to Victor, and will be looking elsewhere for our pre-theatre dinner.

Two stars for the atmosphere and the truly spectacular libations - they do make a very good amaretto sour.
