Victor’s sets dining standard in Pee Dee area…
“The Florence Junior League began its restaurant critiquing at Victor’s Bistro. The atmosphere at Victor’s was light and romantic with a European feel. Peggy Yarborough entertained us with a beautiful medley of tunes on the piano. Our table was in the main room (the Bistro) and was very neat & professionally arranged…We began the evening with a wonderful wine – the Murphy-Goode Reserve Fume…Our group had a tough time selecting from the wonderful selection of appetizers. The Jordans selected fried Calamari. It was cooked to perfection and smelled wonderful…Flo enjoyed the pork tenderloin. Robert described his Veal Parmesan as a generous portion that was tender and easy to enjoy. My own Shrimp Scampi was an excellent selection…Victor’s specials are an excellent value and highly recommended. Our group awarded Victor’s with the coveted rating of 9 Corks. Victor’s has definitely set a standard for dining in the Pee Dee area.”

Victor’s…a quiet evening for two or meal with good friends
“You don’t have to look any farther than Florence. A visit to Victor’s Bistro on Irby Street is all you need…Bill Harwell is not only the owner of Victor’s, he’s the chef. He’s a specialist, creating several masterpieces to choose from…Cooked to perfection, the thick tenderloin placed an emphasis on tender, almost cutable with a fork only. The lobster tails were delicious, served with warm melted butter…The atmosphere at Victor’s is akin to being in your own home or the home of best friends…You cannot help but feel that sense of warmth and welcome. Treat yourself to a visit to Victor’s and a touch of European high life!”

Victor’s in Florence. It’s the place to go…
“Victor’s is decorated very much like the bistros and restaurants along the French coast, with light, spaciousness and plenty of atmosphere. This place has class…The oysters were fried to perfection, plump, juicy and served over savory greens with a horseradish aeoll – absolutely scrumptious!... Then, came the tuna; an artistic and culinary delight. I’ve eaten tuna tetakki in many Japanese restaurants, and place all over, and have never had better…The place was bustling and everything was just right…I highly recommend this establishment. If you’re looking for a better, nicer and friendlier place – a great wine list and dining a step up – Victor’s in Florence. It’s the place to go.”

Victor’s and P.A.’s a marriage made in heaven
“This union of two of Florence’s most popular restaurants was much anticipated, but is it a match made in heaven? There was only one way to find out…I had barely warmed my seat before my favorite bottle of champagne was being poured, along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar in which to dip the warm complimentary warm bread…The French onion soup is simply the best I’ve ever eaten…Both steaks were tender as angel thighs, full flavored and grilled exactly to specification…Crème Brulee was a sweet and satisfying ending to a memorable meal…The soothing sounds of Peggy Yarborough playing the piano and singing combined with wonderful food, attentive service and intimate atmosphere make it likely the marriage between Victor’s and P.A.’s will last a long, long time.”

Note to Gourmet Magazine: Check out Victor’s Bistro
“Dear Gourmet Magazine: We have an excellent restaurant in our town that I would like to call to your attention. It is Victor’s Bistro…My husband and I were very impressed with their cuisine. As a native of Buffalo, NY, I was sure I would never have a better onion soup than in my home town. I was wrong. Victor’s onion soup was the finest I have had, made from pure beef stock, sweet onions and luscious melted cheese atop…We’re a medium-sized Southern town, and we are very fortunate to have Victor’s Bistro in our midst for special dinners with a continental flavor.”

I really keep the happiest memory of this evening where I had all that I like – very good food, very good wine and very good company. I was especially pleased to discover your delightful European cuisine…It is an honor and privilege to have our handcrafted wines on your wine list...We would be delighted to welcome you at our cellars Gratien & Meyer in Saumur should you travel to the Loire Valley.”
