    Vic and Ola’s was an incredible find during a casual drive to Safeway! We were seated outdoors, and the ambiance was absolutely gorgeous with cozy heaters and strung lights that created a festive vibe. My little cousin, who’s part Sicilian, was thrilled to discover all her favorite childhood dishes from Sicily on the menu. From the delicious specialty food to the authentic Italian wine, everything felt genuinely special. This place is a gem for anyone craving a slice of Sicily!

    We went as a group on a Thursday night and I have to say it was really outstanding. I had the special of the fish n chips and they were wonderful. A few folks got the burgers and were very happy as well as the french dip. But, the real key that put them over the top as outstanding was our server Gracie. She was magnificent! Came back and checked on us several times, always smiling and every single detail we asked for was perfect! We all commented on the way home we couldn't remember the last time we had service this excellent! She really makes Thompson 105 a place to go to have great service and amazing food!!

    New menu is so good! We had the focaccia, hamachi crudo, Cesar salad, filet, chicken and pasta. Only complaint is they had dj music blasting throughout the entire restaurant and it was hard to have a conversation!
