Editorial Review for Victory Tavern – by Amanda Howe
In Short
An exhibition kitchen overlooks the main dining room. Tall windows, light wood floors and a bar overflowing onto the patio give the space an expansive feel. Brick-fired chicken and hardwood grilled steaks, chops and delicately marinated pan-seared fresh fish are dinner staples. Other options include the entree salads, burgers or open faced sandwiches, such as the turkey-ham Club with applewood smoked bacon and avocado on toasted rye.

Ventured into Victory Tavern looking for an interesting happy hour experience. After reading reviews on various websites, our party of two set out for what VT calls 5 after 5. Basically it's appetizers (although not all) and well drinks for $5 from 5pm until 7pm. Well, actually wells are $4 according to the bartender/waitress. We enjoyed very good (not great) cosmopolitans and tried a couple of different items of the $5 appetizer choices. First, we had the calamari and rock shrimp. Both were breaded in a bland batter and the calamari should have been cooked a little longer. The shrimp were improved slightly by the dipping sauce, but the chewiness of the calamari was difficult to overlook. After ordering a second round of drinks, we opted for the portabello mushroom fries with goat cheese crema and buttermilk dressing. These were so greasy, overcooked, and flavorless one had question who was in the kitchen. Needless to say, we weren't foofish enough to stay for dinner. For a bar/restaurant in a terrific location, Victory Tavern doesn't live up to minimal expectations. If you find yourself in Victory Park - stop in for a drink and forget the food. Our first and LAST visit. There are too many choices to settle for this...

I recently went to Victory Tavern before a game at the AAC. I have wanted to try Victory for quite a while because of the obviouse; the location and the atmosphere. As it turns out those are the reasons to go, and not much more. Victory Tavern is a beautiful modern restaurant / bar. You walk in from the middle of the buzzing Victory Park and are greeted with smiling faces. The dining room and bar are dimly lit with unique chandeliers and with a soundtrack of popular music at a cocktail party volume. The guest is given a good variety of appetizers and entrees with a lack of selection in their salads and soups. The calamari with rock shrimp was very good as was the chocolate mousse dessert. The entrees were rather blah. I ordered the chicken scallopini with artichokes and vegetables. Well, this was anything but that. It was two chicken breasts grilled on a large bed of canned artichoke hearts. The chef should consult his Larousse Gastronomique for instruction. My girlfriend ordered the seabass which was slightly overcooked with, brown green beans and a less than impressive squash puree. However, the bar ended up being a great place to begin the game. The drinks are good and a good list of beers are offered. It seemed that the majority of the bar was there for the game which made it a fun a lively crowd.
Pros: Valet, Pre Game Drinks,
