Italian-American fare, burgers, cocktails and live jazz entertainment


"If you feel like no brunch is complete without live music, the Smith Center-adjacent jazz club and restaurant will soothe your soul with jazz performances and an a la carte menu of Italian American Easter specials offered all day long, including eggs Benedict, waffles with berries, leg of lamb, and shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta. Smooth vocals from Dave Damiani will enchant audiences from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. before LVA Jazz takes the stage at 3 p.m." - Emmy Kasten

"Vic’s always delivers an enjoyable night of red sauce Italian food with a side of live jazz. The spot does the classics really well: veal piccata, chicken parmesan, pappardelle bolognese, and caesar salad. Some of the jazz world’s best performers pass through the next-door Symphony Park at The Smith Center, so you might catch them when they drop by Vic’s main room for an impromptu performance. Sit at the cabaret tables if you want to make eyes with the musician onstage, or hang out in one of the back booths and take in the sax solos." - melinda sheckells
