Victors

Had the pleasure of dining at Victor’s in Florence, South Carolina, and it exceeded expectations from start to finish. The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming — elegant without feeling stuffy — and the service truly reflects classic Southern hospitality. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there, which always makes a difference. A special shoutout to Stephanie, the bartender, who was an absolute gem. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made fantastic recommendations that did not disappoint. I started with the she-crab soup (do yourself a favor and get the large — thank me later). Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For dessert, I went with the seasonal cake, a house-made red velvet, and it was outstanding — moist, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell when a kitchen takes pride in what they serve, and that’s very much the case here. Overall, Victor’s delivers on ambiance, service, and food — a rare trifecta. Whether you’re passing through Florence, visiting the Carolinas, or a local looking for a consistently great spot, this place is absolutely worth stopping by. I’ll definitely be back.

Breakfast was delicious. Inexpensive and plentiful. Both buffet and la carte are offered. Service was also personable and friendly. Thank you!

My husband and I came to Florence from Houston, Texas to visit our grandson for the first time. We resided at the Tapestry Hotel and Victors was attached. I took my 1 month old grandson to the restaurant and we had an appetizer and croissant chicken salad. I saw there was a Fried Green tomato BLT but all I wanted was the Fried Green tomatoes so they modified the menu just for me! I felt so special and it was delicious! James was my waiter and super attentive and friendly. He was also concerned about my grandsons comfort. Overall, it was affordable and delicious! Highly recommend!!!

We enjoyed a wonderful meal here after a very long trip. The atmosphere was modern but comfortable and we loved our cozy booth. Our server was friendly and efficient. We have been to many restaurants in the area (Charleston, Savannah, Hilton Head) and this is one of our favorites! We shared the she crab soup (prepared traditionally and oh so yummy), fried oysters and bass. All were amazing and came with a basket of melt in mouth cornbread. We loved our experience and appreciate being taken care of. Many beers on tap was the icing on the cake :)

Our 22nd anniversary! Started with warm welcome by Gracie. Made us feel important from start. Led us to table where someone wrote note”happy anniversary” Our waitress Hanna and trainee Tania were very polite. Hanna was very knowledgeable about menu and gave sound advice of menu. She was spot on and food was delicious. Presentation very appealing. Hanna was even kind to take our picture. The surrounding atmosphere did not make us feel uncomfortable. And we were very comfortable with our attire. Awesome experience! Will be back! BTW this was our first time at Victors.

Such an amazing restaurant! It was my parents and I’s first time in South Carolina and when we got to the restaurant the guy at the front desk reception area was very polite and helpful. The place itself is beautiful the restaurant was very clean and cozy. My parents enjoyed their food and I enjoyed my dessert. The server we got was amazing! He was so helpful and kind to us and helped us with the dish options. Overall an absolutely excellent experience and we will be returning to this restaurant again! Thank you.

Christmas Party/Waters Building - BIG Shout Out to Ashley, Paige, Pam, & Colby! We had an exceptional experience. The space was decorated beautifully with our requests executed exactly. The service was warm, attentive, and perfectly timed — the kind of hospitality that feels effortless but clearly comes from a team that truly cares. Paige and Pam were very knowledgeable, friendly, and consistently checked in without ever being intrusive. They anticipated needs before I even had to ask, and their positive energy created a comfortable, enjoyable atmosphere throughout the entire event. It’s rare to see a team work so smoothly together, and it made the experience stand out in the best way. I want these girls for our next event. Every interaction felt sincere, professional, and thoughtful. HUGE appreciation to the staff for going above and beyond — expectations exceeded!

I'm terrible with names, but I wanted to say awesome job by the staff tonight. It all started with the text message from Ms. Rhonda, very warm and welcoming. Her spirit in person is the same. Next our waiter Evan was awesome. Full of personality and didn't mind making sure our meal was what we needed it to be. Now for the MOD (manager on duty). I think her name was Shavonne. She was awesome. She came to our table and made sure we had everything we needed. I also watched her to do this with all tables. I LOVE the new setup and will definitely put Victor's in my rotation for date night.

Be sure to get J***s as your waiter! Love breaking up the drive. So get off I-95 and take a break here. You won't regret it!

Tried again without the special menu as we normally do and it was a complete letdown! The waiter was nice nonetheless but lackluster experience with food. She crab soup was good but very loose based on other consistencies I've had. New management has taken over an implemented a southern style menu .! Collard greens and pimento cheese on oysters ? Not the greatest combo but was seasoned well. The grits and scallops were not good either. Oatmeal / Mash potatoes consistency with jam. The atmosphere is still the same nice environment.

We opted for the seafood. Baked black bass with fingerling potatoes was sublime. I went for the Atlantic Shark Fin. Never had before and unsure how to address the beast- but it was very satisfying and filling. Stephen is the consummate wait staff- professional and on time with complementary cornbread when we were awaiting the orders. Great date night- will be back.

I have eaten here a handful of times, yesterday and today as it's convenient when I stay at the Hotel Florence for work. The wings are pretty solid, I've had the buffalo, the Jamaican Jerk (not that spicy but still good) , the victors Dry rub is one my favorites. Last night I got dry rub wings, a romaine wedge salad and fried oysters. The wings were fire!! The oysters were cold, and the wedge salad was rough to eat, I left half. They gave me a butter knife and some of the root was still there and just akward to try and eat I was more annoyed that the gentleman next to me ordered a steak which he ordered after I ordered my salad and came out in minutes.. my salad not so much. Even the bartender was confused how his steak came out in 4 minutes. I asked for another club soda which 10 minutes later I asked again... Tonight I ordered wings, and a burger... burger was cooked perfectly and hot the bartender asked me if I needed anything I asked for another beer which I didn't get til I flagged someone else down to ask...same bartender.. Food is good, service needs a little help assuming my oysters died in the window due to server not getting

I ordered dinner at Victors because I was a hotel guest. I ordered the Beef Tenderloin Medallions. It's a four ounce or a two oz portion. It comes with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus - I got a salad instead of the asparagus. I went upstairs looking forward to this meal. Unfortunately I was so disappointed with this meal. The marinade was too strong. It caused heartburn. I wish I ordered something different. Next time for sure.

Great food!!! Nice atmosphere? Excellent service . Days I o need at least 85 characters to post a review so I'm just goons fill this up with nonsense.

We finally made it to Victors, located in downtown Florence inside lobby of hotel (I forgot hotel name). There is a casual section in front with bar and formal in back but it is semi-casual IMO as saw guy with shorts beside us. The seating had a sheik pattern that gave off modern vibes perfect for relaxed atmosphere. The bread was delivered on a S.C. shaped board although our server pointed out that it was actually upside down. Small unique quirks like this can push review ratings into higher territory for me. Starter of fried oyster was ok but raw is better for us. I wanted to enjoy my meal no matter cost so chose scallops served on grits with spinach, it was great. My wife chose catch of the day, presentation was on point, props to the chef. Wife choice for dessert was cheesecake can't go wrong there. There is a courtyard just outside on hotel grounds perfect for photos. Nice spot for special dinner or casual stop-in, downtown Florence.

We eat here a lot for work. The bar area is the best in Florence. It has a great vibrant feel that is best around the holidays. Service is always great. For the prices, the food is hit or miss. Steaks are the best option!

We love coming here to eat.. and last night was no exception. my wife got the duck, and i got the blacken bass. our entrees were delicious. after dinner we ordered a white chocolate cake tower. we we're not impressed with this previously frozen dessert.. it was dry and hard, and we would never order this again. heck.. we thought everything was made in-house.. and if this dessert was, we think you need a new recipe. the cosmo's were perfect

As ex restaurant owner I was very impressed with food quality and service was excellent!!!

5 stars for food, 4 for ambiance and 3 for service. The food is very good. I had the Vic's salad with a piece of grilled salmon. The salad was fresh, creative and delicious. My dining partner had the shrimp and grits which she said was "fantastic". Victors has a fine dining room with a separate menu and a casual dining area near the bar. We went casual. Both dining areas are nicely decorated and tables are well spaced. Unfortunately the service on Weds night Jan 17 was prompt and friendly but disappointing. Our server brought Chardonnay when we ordered Cabernet. Ok, we kept it but it wasn't what we wanted. Then she brought the wrong meal. They fixed it quickly enough but a little more attention to detail would be appreciated. This was our second visit. I can recommend Victors despite the service snafus.

We had a delightful dinner at Victor's. I had two amaretto sours which were delicious. Our appetizer was their char & cheese board; I highly recommend the bleu cheese and honeycomb together. For my entree I had the vegetarian orzo but added shrimp. It was divine. The roasted vegetables were so good. My wife had the filet medallions, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. She loved it all. We also split the roasted corn and sweet potato hash as a side and it was also delicious!

Great atmosphere, good food. Shrimp and grits were great, bartender friendly. Will return anytime I'm in the area.

A wonderful atmosphere for Florence. This establishment truly has a downtown Charlotte vibe.

Food was EXCELLENT. Service was fair. The ambience was fair for on the fine dining side of the restaurant, although you could still see/hear the noise from the casual area. A door or curtain would've help. I would revisit again when I'm in the area.

Whenever we stay in Florence, we have dinner at Victors. The food is always good and the service is friendly. I recently tried the wedge salad topped with a generous portion of salmon, which was well seasoned and delicious. We'll be back next year!

Tried Victors many years back when they were on Irby st...they disappointed me then and managed to exceed that disappointment this Last visit. Service was super super slow! Our server was in training but why would you assign someone in training to a large dinner party???? I ordered the special which had Anson Mills Carolina gold rice which is one of my absolute favorites... well it was undercooked and the chicken way under seasoned! I won't be back.

We can here on a very busy night! The service was good as was the food-my husband had the paella and I had a Caesar salad. We both enjoyed the food here! A note though-a Yelp offer pops up upon checking in-for 5 percent off your food order-the manager did not honor it- he said they don't work with third parties?!?!

I met my friend in Florence and she chose this restaurant. We waited for about 45 minutes. It wasn't crowded; I assume they were low on staff. This was on the Thursday afternoon before Christmas. Once seated our waiter was super nice. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas and was welcoming. However, the food was mostly bland and tasteless. The only things I enjoyed was the cornbread, salad, and crème brûlée. The entrees and deviled eggs needed more seasoning. The food was so tasteless I thought I had COVID for a minute, but realized I could taste the salad and cornbread with no problem. The shrimp and grits was supposed to have some sort of Creole seasoning, but I couldn't tell. The food and plating looked delicious; I just wished the taste followed through.

This was such a nice stop on a trip from Tybee Island to Baltimore. We had a wonderful lunch that included food that wasn't fast or fried. The ambience was lovely, adjacent to a hotel lobby. Unexpected find.

One of the BEST steaks I've ever had, which I did not expect from this steakhouse in such a small town; a true hidden gem. Ordered the pure angus beef tenderloins with whipped potatoes and asparagus. The steak was cooked perfectly, had an AMAZING dry rub on the outside (my favorite part), and was so tender I could cut it with my butter knife. The wait service and the atmosphere are both delightful. We sat outside on the patio (dog-friendly btw), which is pleasantly cool, with plenty of shade and fans (atleast 10 degrees cooler than it was in the sun, which made it doable to sit outside in the summer). I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Solid dinner We visited Victors in Florence for a business dinner and was anticipating an amazing evening. The ambiance of the restaurant was great, outside courtyard was enchanting. Our appetizer was delish, some cheese spread I forgot the name to. May have been the best thing I put in my mouth that evening. Classic Cesar then the main entree of salmon. My cut was towards the tail. So I got an uneven, medium temp end that tapers to a crunchy thinner end at the other end. Not a typical cut you'd get from a restaurant. Mash potatoes and asparagus were on the plate too. The cheesecake with blueberries was... cheesecake and blueberries. Definitely tasted like it was from a box. All in all, was not as amazing as I'd hope.

Breakfast was surprisingly delicious. It was pricey but worth the trip. I enjoyed the atmosphere and spacious dining. I'm curious to check out the dinner the breakfast was so nice. The staff was friendly and courteous.

Dined here while in town for a race . Located inside the Hotel Florence , I have been told this is the best fine dining option in town . The ambiance is modern, clean chic & impressive . The service was also great - orders taken quickly and food presented in a timely manner. Everything was exceptional, except the food . We ordered potato skins and bacon wrapped pepper for appetizers. For entrees we tried the salmon and 12 oz Angus Ribeye. My salmon was not fresh and had an overly fishy flavor . I was super disappointed but luckily my friend switched entrees with me . The steak was just okay- ordered medium but the texture was tough and the meat was full of gristle and lots of inedible pieces . The fries were good but overall every single food item we ordered was underwhelming and below average. I would love to see Victor's reevaluate their menu and offer higher quality food. I believe the restaurant has a lot of potential to provide a better culinary experience for its patrons.

So. My daughter and SIL chose this restaurant and Hotel Florence for their wedding dinner and venue. So for rehearsal dinner the food was quickly picked up after everyone made one trip. Which was disappointing. Food was ok. Maybe a little bland. But overall alright. HOT. Could have had a little better fan situation out there cause we were all drenched in sweat. But ok. Then the wedding dinner. It's was also buffet serve yourself style like the evening before. Did was good. Maybe a little bland. No salt and pepper to be found. Showed up and one wall was nothing but Sheetrock and mud and tape needed to be painted. It was actually painted before the dinner. We were shocked the room didn't smell of paint and stain. But it all looked nice. Would have been nice to have sweet tea out in more than 1 pitcher. No one drinks unsweetened tea the same amount at sweet. Otherwise it all went off without issue.

Best steak in town. The only one worth eating! Everything was great. Food was excellent. Ambiance is very nice. Service was top notch.

Ambiance was peaceful. Service was great the food was good. Wold recommend and I might return if the area

When you walk in, you are in a hidden gem. Highly recommend having Zach as your server. He's so nice and not overly attentive. We came for brunch and everything tasted amazing. Great savory and sweet options!

Victor has a really good buffet. I used to eat there on the holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. I wanna go back one day and they're just have one of the best buffets in town for sure.

Victors is a Florence must do! one of our few truly nice restaurant, they always go above and beyond. I would prefer that they have both menus at both places, but that's a suggestion not a complaint.

Great place to eat delicious food of all types. People are very friendly and the environment is very nice. Couldn't ask for a better place to dine for Thanksgiving. Always love the variety of desserts.

This was my first visit here and my last. The food here was atrocious. It was unseasoned and overcooked, so much so much of it was charred. The one redeeming quality were the fries, sort of, they were so salty I had to resort to wiping them off. I do NOT recommend this spot if you are looking for a favorable meal, there really wasn't anything to trace about. My party consisted of twelve people and the majority of the orders were different and there wasn't one meal that was satisfactory. Please, save your money and eat elsewhere. Because of the poor quality of food there was no saving the ambiance of the establishmen.

Very nice atmosphere with nice menu. Although a lot of my lettuce had wilted / gone bad, which I suggested the server share with the kitchen. Gross. Otherwise we enjoyed our meals. Server was okay, not excellent.

We have had several lovely meals here. Only negative is lack of choices for vegans. The furniture is also a little worn, could use a renovation. The food was very tasty and service was excellent.

Located inside the Hilton Hotel this restaurant serves decent cuisine. The drinks and food are OK. The service is nothing to write home about.

The restaurant is located on the first floor inside Hotel Florence. We had dinner at the bar. One thing to note is that they have a different menu than regular seating. The bar is a full bar. Anything you order here is will be delicious. We had the deviled eggs and the chicken wing tong for appetizer. Delicious!! For dinner I had the petite salmon on a bed of risotto and a side of asparagus. Delicious and light. My husband ordered the filet but they were out. So he got the ribeye over a bed of fresh mashed potatoes and a side of fries. Delicious! Note, they close at 9pm on Sundays. I recommend this restaurant!

Victor's is truly a treasure--and worth the drive to Florence, SC, if you aren't local. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The menu features a wide variety of appetizers, soups and seasonal offerings. The ginger mule cocktail was delicious. Highly recommend the chicken wontons, the Granny Smith apple-cranberry chopped salad as well as the beef tenderloin. We had an immensely enjoyable experience.

In a Hilton hotel and closed on Sunday. Worthless. How do you establish yourself in a 24x7x365 business and not be open to serve hotel guests on Sunday? Absolutely ridiculous!

What an amazing place. Great restaurant in a beautiful hotel. The restaurant staff lovely and the food amazing. We had the steak, the soup, the gumbo and chee platter. Also had the Brussels sprouts. Everything was amazing and the ambiance lovely. We were tired after driving to Florida and stopped to eat. E fed up getting a two befroomSuite at hotel and everything was just amazing. Highly recommend.

GREAT! Food, dining experience, staff, all top notch. My son got married there as well, it was a quaint, beautiful wedding, again, staff...amazing!

Very Good server! Good food ! Nice atmosphere and great bartender, Nate I believe ! Woo Hoo

A fantastic place located in the boutique Hotel Florence. We arrived about 9pm and wanted to watch the hockey game. Logan set us up at the bar with some beverages- Cabernet for me and a beer for my husband. A nice selection of both at a reasonable price. They offer a 9oz pour which is appreciated. Started with deviled eggs appetizer- delicious! I got the last serving of duck on the restaurant menu- Logan requested the chef accommodate me bc it was not on bar menu and he graciously agreed!! It was delicious! Crispy, flavorful duck breast with a sauce and beautiful, fresh baby carrots cooked to perfection. My husband had the shrimp and grits which was excellent!! Busy watching the game so forgot photos but I have one to share!! We stayed the night on the property at the Hilton owned Florence Hotel and enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast with great coffee and lattes. Homemade biscuits and blueberry loaf, fruit, French toast, fresh eggs and perfectly cooked grits. I highly recommend this restaurant!! Friendly and professional service. Beautifully renovated space with warm, bright tones. I would definitely travel here again as it's conveniently located off of 95. A most enjoyable evening!! Thanks!!

Had a business dinner here last week. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our party of four. Wine was decanted, meats where served at the perfect temperature, and a wonderful time had by all.

This was our first time at Victors, but we would definitely return! I had the kabobs and their flavor was incredible and they were cooked just right! My wife had the salmon and was pleased with her choice, as well. The hostess was very pleasant and even stopped to apologize for how noisy the bar area where we were sitting was. They were busy and therefore, our service was a little slow, but caused us no problems. I would definitely recommend eating here! Be sure to make reservations, as they were even busier as we were leaving around 6:15.

Pitch Perfect - Will Recommend & Return We are from New York City. We called around 7pm on Sunday to request a reservation for 9. They informed us that's when the restaurant closes, but they could accommodate us for an 845 arrival. We made it in time. The hostess is beyond lovely. Proactive and solution oriented, she's an ideal front of house ambassador. Our server was Pierce, and he was exceptional. For context: we are passing through from NYC, and my travel companion and I are inherently critical. Bottom line - While staying at Hotel Florence, we could not have asked for a more intelligent guide than Pierce for our first dinner on premise, a special jewel in the Hilton Tapestry crown. Shout out to August at the front desk -- and our warmest thanks to all.

Great food and staff, particularly female bartender named Jasmine. A welcome surprise in a small town off I-95.

What a great place to eat in downtown Florence, it's connected to the Hilton which makes it easy to go down and catch dinner and drinks. The staff are always pleasant and they know upscale service. The menu consist foods for all and the price is very reasonable. Give it visit, always consistent.

Went here for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday. I loved the exterior, huge patio area, beautiful greenery and vine covered walls. The inside was gorgeous as well and very spacious. Large and spacious booths, a huge piano, lovely open bar. It was beautifully decorated and very clean. It wasn't that busy on a Saturday morning and we were greeted and seated immediately. Me and my sister ordered the shrimp and grits with the chicken salad croissant with fries and fruit to split. They gave us a biscuit basket with the perfect tiny little biscuit with jam and butter. It was perfectly light and airy. The shrimp and grits were outstanding. They were so creamy and came with a delicious cream sauce on top. They needed a little more seasoning, but the shrimp on top added so much flavor. My croissant sandwich was delicious as well. Perfectly creamy and sweet from the raisins. The fries were fresh and hot and their honey mustard is delicious! Our waiter was kind and attentive. Thanks Victors!

Great food and first class service ....very nice comfortable bar area with a with an upscale feel . Separate dining room for a more formal dining experience. We will return on our next visit to Florence for sure. Enjoy a drink at the bar and meet some diverse and wonderful people .
