    The service was efficient and friendly. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and the food was well prepared. We spent a 8 days in the Charleston / Savannah area over Spring Break, and this was a nice dinner. Not the best but good. The owner or manager stopped by to ask us if we were enjoying our meal, which was nice.

    We had reservations for months and we're so excited to come back to this restaurant. We asked to sit to view the river and instead we were stuck next to a wall very close to another couple. The service was good but food was not good. The only good choice was the reisling. Very disappointed.

    The food was fantastic!!! My only complaint would be that they required reservations, which I did and at 8:30pm at night which is very late for us to eat. However, our daughter said the food was fantastic and we should bite the bullet and try. She was absolutely correct! The food was fantastic and our server was excellent. My biggest complaint is that when you make reservations you expect to be seated on time. I understand that problems arise however, we watched people with no reservations be seated before us. We didn't sit down to dinner until 8:55 which was very disappointing.

    Our waitress didn’t check in on us throughout the dinner. I had to request twice to have our water glasses refilled.Our waitress was very young, and might need a refresher course on how to be attentive to your paying guests.

    Vic's on the River is our favorite place to dine in old Savannah! We take our relatives and friends here often where we are always given an exceptional experience! Thank you for seating us next to the re-discovered wall-drawn map from the Civil War. Our friends were delighted with our recommendation to lunch at Vic's!

    Recently dined at Vic’s for lunch and dinner during a short stay in Savannah. Food was excellent and although it’s in the heart of River/Bay area, while dining, you feel like you’re away from the chaos, and comfortably settled for a great dining experience. Will always dine here during future trips to Savannah!

    Was OK. Asked for a River view table. Many open. Was told they were reserved… no one ever filled the tables. Consider it more of a tourist location as opposed to a true dining experience. Won’t go back. Yet, Service was ok. Staff was friendly.

    Everything thing was excellent and the service was also excellent. The only issue I do have is when dealing with gluten free food, please don’t cross contaminate. We did have somebody in our party have an upset tummy, so please cook gluten free food separate from the regular food. Other than that, it was a 9/10. I will come back!

    My boyfriend and I went to dinner there. Despite it being a Friday on St. Patrick’s Day, it was not extremely busy. Without asking, we were seated at a window table overlooking the river. Our waiter, whose name I can’t remember, was amazing! He had a great personality and was super friendly despite saying they were slammed earlier that morning from all of the partiers. The food was extremely well made. My boyfriend had the fried chicken and I had the fried flounder. The chicken was the best part. It was hands down the best we have ever had. Super juicy and moist. Overall, loved the experience all together. Perfect for a date night out.

    I was so impressed with this restaurant! We were seated right away at a great table by a window. The ambiance was wonderful. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. We started with the calamari, which was the best calamari I have ever had. We had the Pear salad and the short ribs which were delicious. The prices were extremely fair. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!

    We went here for our anniversary and the crab cake appetizer was amazing although we only asked for one to share and we got two. We didn’t make a big deal about it though. The problem was that we waited for our food for a good 45 mins after the appetizer. It was busy though because it was the day before St. Paddy’s day. We still didn’t really make a big deal. Then our food came out and everything was bland…we had the filet mignon and also ordered a side of risotto. All bland. It was just an ok experience.

    We took scallops and crab cake. Both dishes were excellent. The cooking perfect (not too cooked, like it should always be). The sides, risotto, asparagus etc were perfect. So, overall, the right place for seafood lovers.

    It was delicious, the service was amazing, the care of the employees was apparent, and people were proud of what they were serving. It was just wonderful. A little on the noisy side, so as long as you like that it’s great. If you like quiet, it’s not the place for you. Try the she crab soup or the crabcakes!
