Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Victory Park

Server was wonderful and the ambiance was very nice, restaurant was decorated very nice for Christmas. Food was just ok, we started with the dumplings, they were a bit dry but the dumpling was good. I was not impressed with the beef Wellington, the duxelles had a lot of garlic and the steak was more medium than mr. The del Monica ribeye was very good. Was not a huge fan of the desserts. We had the carrot cake and peanut butter bar, both were just ok. We have been to many fine dining restaurants, just wasn’t impressed for the amount we spent.

We have been here a few times now and every time our experience has been 5 stars. From the valet to the dessert! Tonight we had the refried lentils, Caesar salad (a must have), the El Machete and the absolute best chicken dish we’ve ever had! The service is over the top too! If you haven’t been here, treat yourself and go!

Wonderful evening, great experience all the way around. Delicious food, great service by Lindsey and wonderful wine sslection.

It was Christmas eve, so it was empty, that is why is was quiet, but the service and food was excellent. this is the second year in a row we have gone for xmas eve brunch and we love it. Drinks are great, we order the cowboy meal or whatever it is called, it has 3 steaks and 10 shrimp and 4 sides. It was great! We will probably end up there next year!

We eat here two to three times a year. Last night was probably the best food we’ve had in the last five years. The bottle of Moet was great. Opening the evening was a plate of four pastries (gougyure?) filled with salmon mousse and caviar. We followed with a Farmer’s Green Salad. My wife had catch of the day. Me? Fried quail. There was not a hiccup with any of these entrees - all were excellent. The desserts - chocolate mousse and an apple tart with ice cream The chef’s gift to the table was a pumpkin soup with coconut milk. I wished that they would make this a regular menu item. One slight flaw. The recipe for the famous Dean Fearing tortilla soup seems to have changed. All in all - an excellent evening. IF. If I could change one thing? Hire a carpenter. Put in a vestibule ahead of the outside entry door. it was cold outside last night, and the drafts that passed through the restaurant are quite cold. All in all - the $$ were well spent.
