Victor Harbor
For those who have been to the hotel Victor in the past.... you will be shocked!!The tacky Vegas carpet is GONE!
The toilets have been moved to the back of the old lounge area, leaving room for side windows opening out to the street to be put in. The place has been transformed into a great-looking modern pub.
I went with a large group from work. Someone was told the Chicken burgers in the cafe were fantastic so we all headed off to give them a try.
Imagine the disappointment when we were told on arrival that the Cafe kitchen was flooded, and we couldn't order from that menu. We decided to stay despite having to order from the dining room menu.
At my end of the table, a couple ordered Caeser salads. One ordered a Chicken Caeser without egg, and the other ordered a plain Caeser with no anchovies. When brought out there was confusion as the plain Chicken Caeser without the egg, did not have chicken on it. As this was being explained, the waitress rudely remarked that "her arm was going to fall off" if she didn't put the plates down. After some time, the chicken for the Caeser was brought out seperately.
All three people who ordered the Caeser's remarked that there was way too much bacon in the salad. The eggs looked fantastic, and were runny as you would hope, but were cold.
The prawn rissotto looked very nice but was a huge disappointment. I don't even think that it was finished. The lack of flavour may have been fixed with a bit of garlic.
One of the specials of the night, was stuffed peppers. The chef made a huge mistake with this one! Obviously to hold the peppers intact, toothpicks were put through them prior to cooking. Unfortunately he/she didn't take them out before baking the peppers covered in sauce and cheese! Luckily they were discovered before being swallowed! Not good!
On a positive note, my special of Vietnamese Chicken Salad was fantastic. The flavours were very well balanced. The chicke was lovely and tender. A great dish!
The steak was presented very well, and was cooked as ordered.
Next time, I am going to order the mussels. They looked so good and one of my favourite things is a bowl of mussels and a cold beer! Still wouldn't mind trying that chicken burger one day!
