What a horrible experience! Went to this restaurant recently with a large group of people. It took 1 hour to get the drinks straightened out, I found myself ordering two drinks at a time because it took 40 minutes to get one drink. We actually had one person in our party going to the bar to get drinks because the waitress was useless. They had a a man walking around that was strictly taking orders for wine, when people placed orders for wine with him, the orders magically disappeared. As far as the food...... way over priced, i could make a better mashed potato in an easy bake oven. Not only were orders misplaced, but when questioning the waitress for missing food, we then received an attitude as if it were our fault the order was not placed, when we clearly saw her write and confirm our orders. When it boiled down to it, the service was horrendous, but at the end of the day they graciously tipped themselves their 18%.

It was good, when it was open. The food was good when the restaurant was open. It has since been replaced. The service was pretty bad towards the end, so I guess it makes sense that it suffered its eventual fate.

Love those mussels. This place is a great casual hang...so much better than the place next door to it! Victory is smaller, somewhat more laid back, and just a more pleasant crowd. The food is EXCELLENT and they have the widest selection of beers! So if you love beer, this is your place. The drinks are good too,; the bartenders are friendly and the service is fast. I'm not a big LI fan, but this place, I love. And yes, Victory has the best mussels.
