Thanks for the insight!

Had the cuban and was disappointed--very dry. Wished for a more jam-like consistency of the mango salsa instead of the tiny bits littering out like confetti from my crusty ship of dry ham. If there is a next time, it will be the burger.Holly Robothttp://none to link to sadlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-61211365963289970542010-11-24T11:54:42.768-05:002010-11-24T11:54:42.768-05:00My wife and I invariably love HowChow's recomm...My wife and I invariably love HowChow's recommendations, but this is the first place that has let us down. After a so-so first visit here, we gave it another try last night and were disappointed. Victoria seems confused about its identity: prices are steep for a pub, suggesting a bit more upscale restaurant, yet nothing seems very well prepared coming out of the kitchen.

We haven't tried again, because we figured that if one can't get in on a rainy weeknight there's no hope any other time. Are people just used to that kind of a wait, or did I just catch a unique night?Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-83924287617686377302010-07-08T09:37:20.120-04:002010-07-08T09:37:20.120-04:00For adventurous imbibers, Victoria also has Beer &...For adventurous imbibers, Victoria also has Beer & Wine Clubs. $20 fee gets you into one of the clubs, with prizes as you try new beers/wines. There are also special beer/wine dinners (once a month that anyone can sign up for) that the chef creates specifically to serve with beer/wine pairings (I've only done the beer dinner, but I can say that it's mighty delicious food!).
