Victor's was also quite busy, but we were able to grab a spot at the bar right away. It was not the best place to sit as people waiting for tables were right behind us, but we did not feel like being choosy about where we sat. I really liked the menu with the Cuban influenced menu choices. A lot of the choices reminded me of menu selections we saw on menus on a recent trip to Mexico. And things that remind me of vacation are always good, right?
I had the Cuban Scrambler. It was scrambled eggs with black beans and creole sauce with plantains. The creole sauce is basically salsa and it was good salsa at that, even a bit spicy. I really liked the plantains served on the side since they were fried and cooked perfectly. It also came with a side of Cuban toast and guava jam. The Cuban toast was really good toast; very light and fluffy and toasted on one side with lots of butter on it. It was different than normal toast and something different, but in a good way. I'd go back to Victor's just for that toast!
John had the Professor Stavrou Special with bacon, seasoned house potatoes, Cuban toast and guava jam. The house potatoes had some cayenne on them and were really good with some spice and crunch. The bacon was very tasty and cooked just the way John likes, a bit on the rare side. He really liked the Cuban toast too.
The service was very good at the bar. The server was very efficient and the food came out pretty quickly as well. Victor's is a cute little place and we look forward to returning soon. There are a lot of other items on the menu that sounded good to me. Victor's is also open for lunch and dinner. Some of the dinner entrees sound good, so we might have to try them for dinner next time.
