We strolled in to Vic's on Friday night for an early dinner. Decided to sit at the bar, because that's where all the cool people are 😉 The bar staff was amazing, especially Lauren. We had pre dinner cocktails; loved on the biscuits & sweet butter; and drooled over the blue crab beignets. For dinner, my husband had the Oscar Salmon. I had the catfish and grits. Both were amazing, but the tomato broth that came with my meal was beyond delicious. We asked for an extra order of biscuits so we could soak it all up. Although we were full, we shared the key lime pie which was a perfect finish to our meal. Obviously, the food was delicious but I have to mention the staff again. Everyone was friendly and on top of their game. Food was brought out promptly by courteous food runners. Lauren at the bar perfectly timed our wine pours as our plates were delivered. We never had to ask for anything! And a final shout out to the great piano player who entertained us with unique variations of several Michael Jackson songs!! With so many dining options in Savannah, Vic's should be at the top of your must go list

I had another fantastic birthday lunch. Wes was an outstanding server who made our experience even better with his professionalism and kindness. We had Oysters Rockefeller, crab bisque, the beet and feta salad our main dish was seared scallops over risotto and for dessert a flourless chocolate torte. Everything was perfectly executed and we enjoyed every bite. Ive celebrated two birthdays here and they know how to make it special each time. I'll definitely return anytime I'm in Savannah!!

Service was excellent and the food was awesome. I love the biscuits with honey butter were a good start. I got the fried chicken with Mac n cheese and collard greens. Everything was amazing. Ky wife got the fried green tomatoe club. I didnt care for the flavors. Definitely take a peek on the balconies. Awesome views of the river.

We loved Vic's! We went for lunch, and sharing the Shrip & Grits with collars and the Crawfish Beignets with Tobasco Syrup was the perfect amount for us. All three items were delicious, and the servings were generous. The shrimp & grits were perfect Southern comfort food prepared just right! Simple ingredients but rich and flavorful. The Crawfish Beignets were a bit more like empanadas, but there were so good! The sweet and spicy Tobasco Syrup and some chooped spring onions gave a lovely finish to these savory seafood "beignets." Our waiter was super nice and on the ball. He had the kitchen split the entree for us, so it made splitting a dush simple. The atmosphere was casual elegance and comfortable with excellent jazz playing in the background. I went with my 70-year-old mother who is deaf in one ear, and she was both able to hear the music and our conversation, so that was perfect. 👌 Depending on where you're seated, you might have a view of the river or of the iconic Savannah street lined with moss hung trees.

Arrived before reservation time, we passed the time at the bar with an old fashioned. Every employee was attentive and made us feel welcomed. We had a table in the upstairs dinning room with a water view. My husband had Vic's Meatloaf and talked about it for the remainder of our vacation. He loved it and couldn't believe how close it was to mine at home. I had the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes which were over 90% crab meat. It was the perfect blend of flavors on this entree and one of the best crab cakes I have ever consumed. We shared the decadent chocolate mousse cake, which was a perfect ending to our experience at Vic's. This was a fine dinning experience and even the manager stopped by to converse. Our best meal in Savannah!
