    I spent a week at the Campus Inn, as a consultant in Ann Arbor, with fully-paid room service and meals from Victors. By the end of the week, I came to imagine "Victor" as a grizzled old Soviet general, whose sole goal is to torture Americans for the indignities of the cold war. First, the prices. The prices were absurd. Ask for a bottle of water? $4.95 glass-bottled italian spring water. Fruit plate? $10. Fries? $6. Every meal I had was, somehow, a $40 meal, even when dining for one. "You vant food, capitalist pig? Victor will give you dear food. Very dear indeed!" The food itself was OK at best. All of it felt like it rolled off a truck pre-plated. The ravioli were pretty awful (although the yogurt sauce was somewhat creative). The Red Velvet cake was tasteless. Oatmeal was oatmeal. The club sandwich was a club sandwich. The waffle fries were pretty decent, but then again, perhaps it is beyond even Victor's skill to screw up waffle fries. The tiramisu was actually pretty good, but still, every order placed felt like a gamble, a sordid bet that Victor could find no way of making the food objectionable. The service in the restaurant was fine (given that I was generally the only person there), but as room service, it was pretty terrible. I tried to order breakfast one of the mornings. After waiting 45 minutes, I called back. "Oh, sorry, so-and-so never wrote down your order, what was it?". I heard Victor cackling that morning, as I walked off to my first meeting hungry. Finally, remember that on Sundays, only "light fare" is available, because the bartender is the made to be the chef. This doesn't mean the "Lighter Fare" box on the menu, but instead, a subset of those items, as explained by the poor, exasperated bartender. Still $38, somehow. Of the 7 nights spent there, whether due to poor menu choices, "lighter fare" nights, or simple fear of more bad food, I braved the cold and dined out 4 of them. Even with full, free access to their restaurant and room service, I still chose to go out to eat, on my own dime. You win this round, Victor.

    Victors is the hotel restaurant in the Campus Inn, and I've only had breakfast here. It's certainly convenient if you're a guest of the hotel, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here for breakfast, especially if I was in a car, or already near another breakfast place. Unless you love bacon, in which case read on. Service is usually quick and attentive. I visit Ann Arbor enough on business that most of the wait staff now know me by name, and the floor manager knew me by name when she was still just a server. It's nice to feel like you're seen and appreciated, and I certainly do here at Victors. The front desk staff mostly recognize me too, for that matter. Oatmeal is ... oatmeal. Nothing special. The egg dishes are also acceptable, but not creative or extraordinary. The bacon is the standout item on the menu. Really. Order the bacon instead of any of the other breakfast meats. The bacon here is thick cut, applewood smoked and simply delightful. Order bacon to accompany anything else you want, and another plate of bacon on the side. Order two sides of bacon and call it a meal. When I have to meet someone for breakfast, I always meet at Victors, even if I'm staying at the B&B up the street, just so I can have a plate of bacon from Victor. Bacon, it's the candy of meat, and Victors does it right.

    Usually when I pass by a restaurant and there is hardly anybody in there I figure there's a reason & I continue walking. Don't make that mistake here or you'll miss a good thing. Victors Restaurant is a great find for a special evening out. It just seems to be one of those secrets not many people know about, but those that do keep coming back. Bonus: it's in downtown Ann Arbor and the hotel has their own (free) parking lot that restaurant guests can use. The restaurant is tucked into the Campus Inn hotel lobby in downtown Ann Arbor. It's been recently renovated and the decor is classy and luxurious. Booths line the walls and the center of the restaurant is filled with square four-tops that can be combined for larger parties. There also are two separate, semi-private dining spaces that can accommodate larger (8-10) groups, which is nice. There's also a bar/lounge area that has a different food menu (smaller plates) and stays open a little later than the restaurant. There's no smoking allowed in the bar or restaurant, which is nice. The bar seems to attract some hotel guests and other locals who might be meeting up before a show at the Power Center or something. Lunch brings in business people from the area, the setting is relatively quiet so it's a good spot to either catch up or have a meeting with a colleague. Dinner is not usually too busy which makes it nice for a special occasion or a date. The service has been consistently great and the fact that it's not too busy is nice because you don't feel rushed. The lunch and dinner menu are different, although a few options are available on both. (The menus are on their website although they're a little hard to find - you have to click on "tours" then on "Victors Restaurant" and then you can see the menus). Lunch offers soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and a few full entrees from the dinner menu. Prices for lunch are probably in the $9-15 range. There are always two homemade soups (one of which is always vegetarian) which are always a good choice. The soup/sandwich combo is my favorite lunch option - the Vegetable Deluxe sandwich is great. The Lobster Ravioli (also on the dinner menu) always gets rave reviews as well. The dinner menu is pricier (most entrees are probably in the $20+ range), which is why I personally could only afford to go there for special occasions. The menu is innovative and creative - they call it "Regional American Cuisine". Dishes range from New York Strip Steak to Duck Breast with Red Mole Sauce to Salmon with Chives and Orange Ginger Relish. The presentation of the food is also very nice and the servers are happy to modify menu items at your request. As a vegetarian, I've been happy with the options as well - the Vegetarian Napoleon (stacked grilled vegetables on top of grilled polenta & tomato orzo) is consistently good. I also am a fan of the Vegetarian Strudel (grilled veggies wrapped in phyllo) - I always appreciate good veggie options that aren't pasta!! There's also always one vegetable-based soup option, which is nice. The Campus Inn salad is also good, it has dried cherries & sunflower seeds. Yuuum. BOTTOM LINE: While it's a little on the pricey side for my taste, you can expect great food & spot-on service. Those facts, combined with a classy and relaxed atmosphere make this a very nice spot for a relaxed lunch or a "special occasion" place for dinner.

    Late night dining on Saturday night in downtown Ann Arbor can be very frustrating. Many places on the Main Street strip can be packed, while more out-of-the-way places have their own issues (parking, hours, etc.) that make them difficult to reach. Victors, which is located in the Campus Inn right in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, is a quiet little gem among the local restaurant scene. I knew of this place because in my line of work we often need to lean on hotels or banquet facilities for a quick meal, and Victors is legendary among our office as the very best treatment we've ever received from a kitchen/event staff. Still, eating in the restaurant as a customer is often quite different than the "backstage" treatment that video guys can get, so my wife and I took our chances and hit this place last Saturday. I can say without reservation that I'll be back in a heartbeat, this place was excellent. Comfortable, well-lit, and very classy, it can be a bit intimidating for a T-shirt and jeans night out, which was certainly what we were having. But the staff treated us with the utmost respect, and it did not feel odd at all to be sitting among college football coaching staff and tenured U of M professors. The food was a knock out, offering a delicious selection of seafood and salad that my wife an I dined on exclusively. I highly recommend the crab cakes, which were far superior to the bland fried patties that most local places offer. After dinner we had a nice drink at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and the patrons were a little more easy-going and relaxed than the restaurant-goers. The crowd does skew towards the 55-and-up bracket, so don't be shocked if you don't see a random assortment of hip 20-somethings and slick businessmen a la Vinology or Pacific Rim. If there is anything to detract from the experience, it would be the service. I stand by my earlier statement, they were respectful, but the table visits were pretty scattered and the waitress grew more impersonal and visited the table less as the night went on. It was never outright rude or even frustrating, but just a bit annoying as needs like "another drink" or clearing a plate away for more room were not dealt with very quickly. That is definitely a minor complaint compared to the overall evening, and the parking scenario is a HUGE plus (they have a private lot with more than enough spots). Next time you're looking to get swanky without any of the gimmicky fusion food of most upper-end Ann Arbor restaurants, Victor's comes highly recommended.

    Decided to sample the dinner menu because I had the place reserved for a wedding rehearsal dinner. The menu was limited and dare I say too classic American. The menu lacked vegetarian dishes, seasonal and local options, and the beer menu (aside from single malts) was unimpressive (tried an IPA from Montana and it was not good). Regarding the actual meal: they were out of Filet Mignon and Beef Napoleon--what?. We ordered the Brie with Fruit and Nuts thinking it would be just what it was called and we were underwhelmed as it was deep-fried and encrusted with nuts (it lacked the quintessential brie flavor and was greasy). The Caesar salads were okay, but not extraordinary. The bread rolls were doughy and dry. The best part of the meal were the chocolate truffles they gave us for our poor meal. Bottom line: if you eat out a lot you will find that the value for the cost just isn't there. The menu is risk-averse and the flavors were just not there. Plus, if you enjoy beer you will find the draft options limited and the bottle selection lacking (especially in local micro brews). I hate to review Victor's this way, but "Meh. I've experienced better."

    I ate in the bar area...twice in four days. Shauna was behind the bar and was 1. personable, 2. professional, 3. friendly, 4. fast and 5. knew how to make a dry martini! Salads are good as are the snapper quesadillas (yummy). It was a nice, comfortable bar to hang out in before moving on the next morning. A bit pricey for Ann Arbor, though.
