I can't believe I've never been to this restaurant before! Fantastic all around! Our server Melissa was so attentive and friendly. The food was delicious! We both had a the mushroom tagliatelle. The drinks, expresso martini was the best I've ever had. The chocolate martini for dessert was decadent! You guys really have your act together. It's been a long time since I've had such great service and outstanding food. We will be back very soon. Thank you for a great date night.

Victory Park Tavern is a gem of a restaurant with amazing food, great service, and a warm, inviting vibe. Last night was our second visit, this time another couple and everything was top notch. The appetizers were incredible and the entrees even better. I ordered the beef short rib which I've had in many other restaurants and their's was the among the best I've ever had. Everyone at the the table were equally pleased and we left looking forward to our next visit...great place!

Outstanding in every respect. Our waitress was very good and the food was excellent! Our guests had never dined here even though they are in the next town. They both want to make a reservation for themselves next week!
Cami
Wonderful! Chef Peter never disappoints. His dishes are always creative and delicious. Nicole, our server, was very helpful and professional! Great staff!

Victory Park Tavern does not disappoint. Food is always fresh and delicious. We started off with drinks and a few appetizers. Their Pear Martini is so good. I had the swordfish, which was cooked perfectly and served with rice and spinach . We ended the night with the bourbon bread pudding, yummy. I was happy to see that they renovated the dining room and restrooms. The new decor is refreshing.

My family frequents Victory Park in Rumson on a regular basis. Victory Park is advertised as per se, “ as a cozy neighborhood spot, and a good place for family and friends.” Although this has been a true statement in the past, I would dispute this statement as of this evening. My family made reservations to dine at Victory Park Tavern Sunday evening. Our family was taken to our table by the hostess. As we were ready to sit, the hostess decided this table was not a “fit” for our family. Upon getting situated at a different table, our 21 month old daughter fussed a bit when her foot became stuck in the table seat that we brought along with us. We quickly distracted her as to not disrupt other patrons at the restaurant. A friendly waitress whom has served us in the past, watched and smiled. Our daughter settled in and was NOT screaming, crying, or misbehaving, and even if she were, there would have been an appropriate manner in which to address this situation. The hostess suddenly came over to our table and informed our family that she has it on “record” that our two children cry out and disturb their customers, she followed that up with…if your child cries out, please take her outside. I would like to first express, we have one child not two, and we were accused of having “our children” disrupt a so called “family” establishment. I would also like to mention, BEWARE… Victory Park Tavern is taking notes in reference to the behaviors that families display while dining in their restaurant. Also be aware that their notes are not correct! Think twice about dining at Victory Park Tavern … do you feel comfortable frequenting an establishment in which staff take notes about your family? Please also be aware of how the staff speaks to your family, it was unprofessional to speak negatively in front of our daughter. After experiencing this hostile and unpleasant environment at a so called “family” restaurant, our family decided to leave this establishment as at this moment we knew this was no longer an establishment that is family friendly. We felt it was only fair to speak with a manager to express our concerns about the unprofessional actions that the hostess displayed to our family. To our disbelief, the hostess is the OWNER of Victory Park Tavern. To say the least, we were stunned. We told her our concerns in a kind family-like manner, and also mentioned that social media speaks in volumes. We were not encouraged to stay and dine. This is the first time I have ever posted anything negative on social media, and the reason being is that from the moment we were being seated, we feel our family was being targeted for dining with a young child. In the end, our family enjoyed a pleasant meal at a FAMILY FRIENDLY restaurant in Rumson. Salt Creek Grill was exceptional; the staff, food and friendly environment was just what our family needed to enjoy our Sunday evening! We can only hope the owner of Victory Park learns a lesson, but in the end… they have lost a loyal customer.

Went with friends after a Sandy Hook bike ride. 2 had been there before and the Tuna Tower is their go-to. I had French Onion Soup and calamari. Lovedvthe Key Lime cheesecake
vpt is a great local restaurant..the food is consistently good one guest had traditional burger and fries that was A1...another had the swordfish special....excellent both desserts...fresh berries (good portion)...and key lime cheesecake..were excellent service was terrific..friendly waitress and attentive support staff...friendly, welcoming hostess, too only slight negative was the watermelon and arugula salad ...was very tasty..but portion was small and presentation was a bit anemic otherwise have been dining at vpt for ~ 6 years and each dining experience has always been pleasant and positive

We had such a great time at Victory Park Tavern. I was able to get a last minute reservation. Kathy, our waitress, was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The burrata and peaches salad and Tavern Burger were delicious! The burger was probably the best I've had.

This is by far the best version of the restaurant that has occupied this building (WYB, R+B’s, VPT). VPT is a great restaurant with fantastic entrees. The service is always very good, and the location is in a great spot. Their mussels are the best in Rumson, by far.

I am surprised I haven’t been here before, what a great place! Awesome bar, great food, outstanding service! We set at the bar, small and cozy and for a small bar two barmaids were hustling, attending to all patrons at the bar and making drinks for the servers, and despite how busy they were, they still had time for a friendly small talk as they were serving drinks. The food is yummy!!!! This is our new place to hang out! Cannot wait to come back?

As always good food and excellent service. i love their chicken sandwich and my only criticism is that they changes it slightly. Still good., but not as good but would still order it. One on my favorite places.
