Vic & Anthony's

Eating is really one of your indoor sports. You play three times a day, and it's well worth while to make the game as pleasant as possible- Dorothy Draper

Vic & Anthony's 

Its no better feeling then stepping into a restaurant and feeling like a million dollars. 1stClassLadies JennLo had the pleasure of celebrating her birthday at a restaurant that obtained that high end quality. Not only does Vic & Anthony's possess the elegance that only a five star eatery would but it also has excellent customer service and nothing but perfection when it comes to ALL their foods.

Lets start with the decor and ambiance! Just from walking up to the front door you know this is going to be something classy. Dim lighting and very intimate for all size parties. The bar is stationed in the middle of the front area and is surrounded by seating tables. In the next section which is where 1stClassLadies JennLo party sat, is nothing but tables of different size for all different guest sizes. In the middle of all the tables stands two clear wine cabinets, giving this part of the room a high entail vibe that the restaurant has. The last section of the restaurant are private rooms perfect for cooperate meeting or even engagement parties. Each private room can be closed off for further intimacy or left open to keep as if ones party is still with the rest of the guest attending.

No service like great service!  When you walk into a restaurant like Vic & Anthony's except to be treated as if it's all about you. From the moment you walk, your greeted by a kind host/hostess and then  escorted to your table. Your waiter/waitress is very attentive & professional, wanting nothing more then to satisfy your every request, concern or comment. He/she is never far out of sight and completes each and every task to the best of their abilities. It's safe to say the Vic & Anthony's team get's an A+ in the customer service field. No one falls short of the team as even the head up's in the restaurants walk the flow to insure that everything is running smoothly and no one is unsatisfied.

Unto the best part- THE FOOD! Everything from the appetizers to the entrée was delicious. The pan chicken was very juicy served with a large portion of mashed potatoes and buttered broccoli. The steak was cooked to the contentment of the customer. Everything well seasoned and full of taste. Nothing was short of mouthwatering and desirable. If your into seafood try the Shrimp Scampi Pappardelle Pasta.  Its a very large size in portion and deliciously seasoned shrimp with soft pasta noodles covered in sauce and cheese. The drinks are right up there with the quality of the food as well.

 Great quality food, professional as well as friendly staff, and a unique ambiance that's makes one feel just as comfortable as if they were at home- well if they lived in the white house that is!
