Went to dinner here last night. We used to come all the time but it’s been probably 9 months and decided to come back for my boyfriend to try one of the specials. First time sitting at the bar and it’s now my favorite place to sit. Olivia, our bartender was outstanding, I come from an industry background and she’s fantastic. We started with the Caesar, which we’ve had before and it’s one of the best Caesar salads in the area. My boyfriend got the Whitefish Calabrese entree and I decided to go with 2 apps I’ve never tried before, Fried Calamari and Meatballs. All three dishes were great! Took the cheesecake home for dessert later and it was very good. Victory is officially back in our rotation.

Went on Valentine’s Day, early dinner so it wasn’t packed. Our experience was disappointing due to the lack of quality of food and the lack of attentiveness. Decor and lighting is as basic as it gets. Not sure if this supposed to be upscale type of restaurant. But most of the ones downtown don’t come out with paper menus and no drink menus. Service was slow from the start. Waited 20minutes for just two drinks. Then the food took about 30-45minutes. Each table near us was also waiting around to be served. Server never apologized for any wait. They have two managers standing at the front with the hostess when they should be helping out. For appetizers, we ordered raw oysters which were good and grilled calamari, those were tough. The whitefish was the best dish we ordered. The side of mac and cheese with lobster is one of the most basic Kraft type of cheese tastes I’ve ever had. Had the kids share the orcchiette sausage which was good. Grigliato misto unfortunately was cold and the calamari was tough. Seemed like that dish was sitting out too long. For the price and supposed upscale vibe, you’d expect better execution, especially with basics like mac and cheese and properly cooked seafood. I would not spend my money here again.

I have driven by Victory for years and never knew what a delicious find this place was. We would go downtown Chicago for years to get oysters. Recently we were walking downtown Elmhurst and though let's just try an appetizer at Victory. It was happy hour so we enjoyed our cocktails and order 6 oysters. Big mistake. There was nothing absolutely nothing wrong about the oysters, nor how it was beautifully displayed nor their three different sauces (cocktailsauce/horseraddish, pesto jalapeno (which I thought I would not like but it was exceedingly surprisngly amazign), and a delicious vinegarette), nor the fantastic professional on POINT STAFF... The mistake was we only ordered 6.. we order 40 more!!!! It wasn't just the flavor and the taste of the sea that helped us to make this choice. But knowing that their momma mia east coast oyster at happy hour are $2 an oyster.........completely sold itself. I will never ever stop by in town and not visit my new favorite place, VICTORY.
THEY DO NOT MISS ONE DETAIL. FROM THEIR STAFF, TO THE FOOD/DRINKS, THE DESIGN OF THE PLACE, THEIR BEAUTIFUL BLUE/WHITE PLATES. I can't believe I have wasted so many years not dining at Victory.
The only thing I would suggest is to turn down the music for conversations. Otherwise, magnifico!

Victory Meat and Seafood provides a top-tier dining experience in an upscale, elegant setting. The steaks come out sizzling and are cooked to perfection, making them a must-try! Their mixed drinks are expertly crafted, and the wine selection is impressive, offering something for every taste. With fantastic food and flawless service, this is the go-to spot for anyone craving great steak and seafood!

Five stars , I really like the food and service was great.
We celebrated my son’s 40th birthday here and had a very nice dinner. First the staff was so accommodating as our headcount changed several times and we even had two last minute cancellations. They were very kind about the whole ordeal. The service was excellent and there was never a time we had to wait to be helped. We had preordered appetizers and as soon as the birthday boy arrived they were ready and brought out to the table. Some of our entrees were excellent while other dishes were disappointing. However, they did take care of the situation to our satisfaction. I felt the food was a bit over priced. I did not have a cocktail but everyone that did seemed to enjoy them. I cannot say enough about the excellent staff at this restaurant! Overall we had a lovely evening.
