Carlos was in the mood for some Cuban food and wanted to go one of his old stand-bys, Victor's Cafe. So we hailed a cab, and headed up to Victor's Cafe.
We had a good meal, but I could tell that Carlos was a bit put off by the re-vamping and "nouveau-ing" of their menu. -He's been going there for that past 25 years whenever he came into town for business. Oh, and I guess I should mention that Carlos is also from Cuba, so... Truth be told, I was a little underwhelmed with the meal too. The food was good, the portions were adequate, but the prices seemed a bit high for the homestyle cooking. We were definitely paying for the presentation, and the midtown rents. The service was also a bit spotty, although they did react quickly to Alexandra's spilled Shirley Temple.
