Stephanie and I visited the Noble Lion in Victoria awhile ago. There are a couple new places in Victoria that we have been hearing a lot of positive things about. It is always nice to see a non-chain restaurant come to a suburban area. Because like it or not, I think Victoria is a suburb of the Twin Cities now.
We started with bread service and the gouda curds. I liked them, but know the gouda certainly give them a unique flavor.
Next, we had the scallops and bacon with creamed corn. They were well prepared.
The Lake Superior whitefish cakes were a dish I was surprised I liked so much. They are essentially similar to a crab cake but with whitefish.The mustard sauce was really flavorful.
We also shared the Steak au poivre. The potatoes were amazing. So rich and creamy. The steak was cooked as ordered and quite tender.
Crème brulee in classic vanilla bean flavor. Crispy, tasty and everything crème brulee should be.
Overall we really enjoyed everything we ordered. We usually share everything so we can both sample a few more items than normal.
The service was great throughout our visit. Keep in mind this is a pretty small restaurant and seating is on a first come first served basis. Our solution to this was to arrive early, around 5:30 for dinner. You can call ahead to be added to the waitlist and they do accept reservations for parties of 6-8 people.
