    Vicky’s is without doubt one of the best restaurant/lounge venues that I have ever experienced for live music !! The quality of the musicians and the performances is truly unbelievable! We recently saw a performance by pianist Richard Turner that demonstrated what a brilliant virtuoso he is. It was so good that he received a standing ovation! He is a modern day version of Oscar Peterson. The John Stanley King shows are also outstanding and provide tons of happy energy. For music lovers, Vicky’s is a must visit that provides a level of joy that is really wonderful to experience! Rick Wagner

    Excellent in every way! We ate on the patio in a very comfortable booth. There was live guitar music at a perfect volume. My husband and I were able to hold a conversation. The weather was great. The food and service was AMAZING! A wonderful comfortable & relaxing atmosphere completed the package. We will definitely come again. We had crab cakes to start. They were the best we’ve ever had. My salmon crusted pistachio salad was fresh & flavorful. My husband loved his tacos. We were celebrating our anniversary and they brought us an amazing chocolate cake. We highly recommend the restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.
