Good service and Cuban food. Great decor and atmosphere. Appetizer sampler was good but not great, but nice to try so many unique things. Very good sangria, especially the white. Ropa vieja absolutely fantastic, a must-try! Churros a nice dessert option.

Victor s Cafe is by far one of the best restaurants in NYC. From the friendly staff to the oustanding food n drinks. Met with a few old n dear friends of mine. No better place to meet than one of my favorite restaurants.
The waiters Darwin and Carlos (Charlie); were friendly , attentive, pleasant, efficient and so willing to make sure we had an excellent dining experience .Continuously checking on us and making sure all was well. The food was amazing; the drinks were phenomenal. We ordered a pitcher of both ; white and red Sangria.
We were all pleased with the dishes we ordered. From Sea bass and Shrimp dishes; to Pernil(pork) and Ropa vieja (shredded beef). The flavor was on point and all the food was eaten. Empty plates from all 4parties. The chef Jose Luis was kind enough to come out to our table and we were able to personally thank him for a job well done. My friends will definitely be back to Victors Cafe. They will as well refer people they know to come and try some good food s ; whenever in NYC. A reservation is something I would suggest for it gets pretty crowded. The atmosphere / ambiance is wonderful and a place you would be happy to have been able to experience. I have been coming to Victor s cafe for years and truly it’s a place that doesn’t disappoint.
Enjoy your visit there; an experience you will most certainly remember. Last but not least; order the sampler for appetizer. It will give you a taste and variety of different and delicious foods.

Very happy to visit this amazing restaurant food was beyond expectations drinks are very well made and the service was A1 our waiter Diego was outstanding thanks guys

The food and dining experience lived up to its excellent reputation! The food was deliciously well seasoned and authentic Cuban. The ambience wonderful and the service impeccable.
I initially reserved for 3 but when I arrived I unexpectedly encountered 2 friends. The host was so gracious and offered a larger table to accommodate 5 of us.
We were served immediately and on time. We were attending a play on Broadway and had more than enough time to walk to the theater.
I highly recommend Victor's Cafe and cannot wait to return to NYC.

All around exceptional experience. The food was the star of the show, complemented by prompt (but not overbearing) service and a mellow atmosphere. Pricing was reasonable for midtown, what I would consider a good value

We reserved Victor's Cafe for a company sponsored event. Best service, food, drinks and support from this place. Best choice

Dinned here prior to a broadway show; the service was beyond excellent and the timing was perfect.

We selected items off of the summer restaurant week menu which was a great value. The ropa vieja, black beans and flan were so good!

The food is tasty and the portions were good. Got what we expected and I don’t get Cuban food very often and not something that I would think of to get in NYC but glad we did. The drinks were good and then Churros! Must get. Very delicious.

The opulence of this venue is wonderful. The fans shuffling amid the plants hanging from the well lit ceiling is so therapeutic. This cafe is situated in the heart of time square within walking distance of all the greatest theaters. The portion sizes will reflect the prices and I am so great full for that. We left well fed and a little boozed! Try the Bacardi rum coco mojito and thank me later. Our server Victor was very professional and always helpful with fresh napkins and drink suggestions. I will most definitely be back for more of those delicious eggs Benedict and brisket.

Wonderful job everyone. Have a great day!

Romantic setting, excellent service. Very attentive. Made sure we weren't late for our Broadway show. Cuban Food was superb. had Smaller portions but very filling. We had the guava dessert and it did not disappoint.

Victor’s Cafe is an absolute delight. Every aspect, from the well-prepared food to the inviting atmosphere, contributes to an exceptional dining experience. The staff is attentive and professional, ensuring each visit is memorable. Victor’s Cafe is a five-star venue that continues to exceed expectations.

Excellent cocktails, the service was great. Seafood paella was recommended and did not disappoint. Excellent flavours. Live music by the bar area was nice to listen to while we had drinks and waited for our table.

We were there with a larger group for birthday party dinner. Love the decor and atmosphere of the entire place. The food was delicious. Caesar and his team were exceptional, catering quickly to all our needs.

Easily 5 stars for food, service, atmosphere, and decor. Darwin provided prompt and friendly service. The roasted pig / lechon asado and ox tail were delicious, as was the guava dessert. Right in the heart of the theater district.

Victor's was right next to our hotel. Very nice place. The service was a 10, and the food was a 20. EVERYTHING was simply excellent. My wife and I had the sangria and mojito. For food we had the boneless chicken and steak ropa vieja with plaintains. Perfection.

We decided to come here in the spur of the moment, quickly made reservations and walked over. They were organized and seated people in a timely manner. Those without a reservation they gave them realistic wait times and/or let them know what seating would be available. This is already a step up from the location we left.
We had a great time here. Our waiter Diego was awesome! Diego made the dining experience that much better with such a friendly Pleasant personality. Talk about knowing good customer service! A+++
As previously mentioned this was a spur of the moment visit due to leaving from a different establishment so we made last minute reservations that were accepted and honored without issue. We arrived a few minutes early but were informed that it wasn't a problem and we would be seated soon. The restaurant may look small at first glance but it's actually pretty spacious. We were seated in the area with the skylight which was great since it was still light out.
And the food!? Awesome!!
Our table spread consisted of: maduros, tostones, Ropa Vieja with white rice and black beans, Arroz Con Pollo, ensalada de palmitos y mandarinas, ceviche de camarónes, and flan. Everything was delicious! The ropa vieja was flavorful and the beef wasn't so shredded it looked weird or inedible. Even the black beans were good. It wasn't just a side of black beans plopped down in a bowl. The maduros and tostones both made just right! The maduros wasn't mushy or under cooked and the tostones weren't over cooked and rock hard. The arroz con pollo had nice juicy pieces of chicken
This was a plus because we were trying it out during restaurant week to see if we would want to come back in the future. We also tried cocktails and they were the white sangria, the coconaty mojito, and the Hemingway daiquiri (which isn't like a typical daiquiri). Plus we didn't at any point feel rushed which is a bonus!
After a hectic frustrating day coming here was a great ending and a pleasant visit.
We are definitely going to include Victor's Café in our regular rotation!

Victors Café is my top Cuban restaurant in NYC. From the moment you step inside, the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere immediately transports you to the heart of Havana. The decor is a charming blend of classic and modern, creating a lively yet cozy environment.

The Ropa Vieja is a standout, with tender, flavorful shredded beef that melts in your mouth. The Lechón Asado, a succulent roasted pork, is another must-try, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.

The cocktails at Victors are not to be missed. The Mojitos are expertly crafted, balancing sweetness and minty freshness, while the signature Victor’s Sangria offers a delightful fruity twist. Their drink menu complements the food perfectly, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Service at Victors is consistently excellent. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations and ensure that your dining experience is memorable.

In addition to the outstanding food and service, Victors often features live music, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to your meal. The lively tunes create an atmosphere that is both festive and relaxing, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions.

Overall, Victors Café captures the essence of Cuban culture and cuisine in the heart of NYC. It’s a place where every visit feels like a special occasion, and it never fails to impress. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Cuban flavors and warm hospitality.

This was our first time in a Cuban restaurant. The food was excellent, perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The beautiful decor and great music added to a wonderful experience here dining with friends. Definitely a great restaurant to visit before a Broadway show.

Food was amazing, absolutely delicious.
I enjoyed the atmosphere and the kindness of the servers... It was my first time going and it was definitely amazing..can't wait to go again !!
