Positive Points:
Excellent service, staff is very attentive and great
The ribs are quite good
Japanese-style steakhouse, so they also have very fresh sushi
Extremely convenient location
Highly recommend the Sunday steak dinner, basically a 4-course dinner for $68 USD
Beautiful desserts
The seafood here is super delicious
Steaks are cooked perfectly
Negative Points:
Prices are too high, beware of items charged by weight on the menu, you'll be in for a shock when the bill comes.
One review mention: Service was extremely slow, we were alone for a long period without being checked on or getting drink orders.
Portion sizes for meat are small
Someone said: Server brought me the wrong appetizer, set it in front of me then disappeared. When I waved to tell him it wasn't my order, ridiculously he took it back and immediately sent it to another table! I can't believe this happened at a restaurant in a 5-star hotel, he should have taken it back to the kitchen.
Food was mediocre and extremely overpriced!
Someone said: Service took way too long, our prefixe menu took 3 hours!
Went for Sunday brunch buffet with family today, very disappointing. $65 USD with extremely limited food options and no coffee, tea or any juices included
Someone said: Took server 10 minutes to come over after being seated, they took utensils from one setting but forgot to bring them back when asked. Server repeated our order back wrong, how hard is it to write it down correctly?
The music was so loud and a lot of childrens, it was too noisy!
The steaks were overcooked!

Overall Analysis:
Per Capita Spending: Average price for dinner is around CAD$60-80 per person before drinks, taxes and tip.
The Victor scores highly for its food quality, upscale ambiance, and attentive service. Reviewers rave about the perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood dishes, and an impressive wine/cocktail selection. The restaurant provides a sophisticated fine dining experience suitable for special occasions.
However, some criticize the high prices and inconsistent service during busy periods. The noise levels and some inconsistent quality of foods are also polarizing factors.
Overall, The Victor seems to deliver an excellent modern steakhouse experience deserving of its 4.1/5 rating, as long as you're willing to spend for the premium pricing. It's recommended for those looking to splurge on a high-end meal with top-notch food and elegant surroundings in Vancouver.
Is it worth visiting?
If you are looking to splurge on a high-end steakhouse experience with top-notch steaks, fresh seafood, and an impressive wine list in a sophisticated setting, then The Victor could be worth the splurge. The food quality and ambiance get rave reviews.
However, if you are looking for a more casual experience or value-oriented dining, the steep prices and inconsistent service may disappoint. The Sunday brunch buffet specifically seems to underdeliver based on costs.
Overall, by setting appropriate expectations for an upscale, pricey experience, The Victor can provide a memorable night out for steak/seafood lovers who don't mind paying premium prices when the service and food quality meet the high standards. Just be prepared for the potential hit-or-miss service and high bills.
