Guidebook for Victoria
Food Scene
Good fun, fun and upbeat vibe. Always busy and no reservations but line usually moves fast. Best times to go: 3-5pm Happy Hour (if you time it right you can lead into an early dinner and miss the line!), or go for a later dinner around 8:30/9pm - usually no lines then either. Sunday to Thursday they have live music (Jazz or similar) starting around 7 or 8pm.
