Usually I am relegated to eating offerings from my human's plate when I visit restaurants, but at this magical place, that is simply not the case (though she did still offer bacon from her plate, and I ate it). Here I got a big bowl of cold water--with a bone-shaped ice cube no less!--and my very own menu! I chose the Scone Bone and 2 slices of bacon. They were quite delicious, and served with a delightful bouquet garni of tiny milk bones--another favorite of mine. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!! (And my human liked her food a lot, too!)

Okay experience. Upon arriving we were met with a friendly but a bit frantic hostess. The place was…read moreby no means busy and she was acting as though they were swamped. Once we sat down our server arrived who seemed less than pleased to be serving us, he was nice enough but barley spoke with us and seemed to not want to be there. For food I had the Mediterranean omelette which truthfully was not very good, it was borderline flavorless. Additionally our server barley checked in with us. Ambiance is fine, its your typical casual brunch spot - don't expect anyone dressed well or an elevated experience. I definitely don't think this was the best showcase of Toast as I have heard great things so they may have just been having an off day. I would definitely give it another shot.

I brought my family to lunch at Victorian Grill on a beautiful day, and we decided to sit outside…read more Our waitress took our order right away, but after 20 minutes without any further contact, my wife went inside and retrieved our ordered drinks from the beverage refrigerator herself. After another 20 minutes passed, I went inside to check on the status of our food and was told by the waitress, "It's coming right up." Ten minutes later, the waitress came to our table with no food and asked, "How is everything?" At first, I thought she was joking, but she was not. After we explained that we still had not received our food, she went back inside to "take care of it." About 10 minutes later, I went inside again and observed the waitress behind the counter scrambling to either locate our order or enter it for the first time. Regardless of what happened, after waiting more than an hour from the time we arrived, I informed her that we would be leaving. To make matters worse, the drinks we left behind were still sitting on our table 30 minutes after we had left the restaurant. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend Victorian Grill to others.

I stopped in for coffee and lunch and enjoyed my visit at sun and waves. The atmosphere is beachy,…read moreand the outdoor seating area is nice for sitting and relaxing on a sunny day. My concerns were that the prices seemed a bit high for what you receive, and the ordering and pickup area inside could use much better organization. It was too confusing figuring out where to stand and where to pickup. I wish the shop provided more information about the smoothies. I'd want to know what ingredients and products they use, as it's helpful for those of us who need to know exactly what we're eating. Overall, it's a 10 coffee place with a wonderful ambiance, and with a few small improvements, it would be even better. I got the chicken sandwich and a smoothie and latte and split with a friend.

We just wanted some coffee and breakfast sandwiched. Settled on drip coffees, a sausage egg and cheese on a hard roll, and a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. Both were fantastic. Large, plenty of meat, egg and cheese and that hard roll was the best I ever had. We were greeted on the way in and out by the man working that morning actually cared about us and our experience. I could tell and assume he might just be the owner. Ordering online was easy and the same price as calling it in or dining in.
