Vim & Victor at The St. James

Hope is the best bartender! Drinks was fantastic. Her customer service was superior! Reward her!

We were in town visiting family and heard about the St James experience! Very impressed with entire concept! Awesome experience! Decided to have an adult beverage at Vim & Victor. Can’t say enough about our hostess Hope! She has an infectious personality and we were totally pleased with our service! She was attentive to all of her customers and she is just the type of person that you want serving your guests! Can’t say enough about this amazing woman! She is a 10!

My husband and I read about Vim and Victor in Arlington magazine and decided to give it a try on Sunday May 26, figuring the drive to Springfield wouldn't be so bad on a holiday weekend. We weren't familiar with The St. James, but found the entire facility to be really cool. The restaurant wasn't very busy, which was nice because we got really great service from Autumn. We were interested in the grilled branzino and it was fabulous! Sides were sweet potato fries, whipped potatoes, and roasted cauliflower. All were delicious. We also got some popovers/turnovers for breakfast the next morning (raspberry and spinach) and a berry muffin. We will definitely be back to see what else they can delight us with.

We have been to this place several times since it opened. I agree with others that service can be slow. Also, depending on who the chef is, the same dish will vary in quality. The best part of the restaurant is its friendly hostesses and servers. It's a great place during the morning and lunchtime to grab something quick and fairly healthy. As far as "fine dining" in the evening, Mike's American Grill just down the road a bit is a much better experience. My biggest complaint is their 3 dollar up charge on mixed drinks. So, a Jack and Coke comes out to $13.78. That is ridiculous and I no longer plan to get dinner or drinks in the evening at the St. James-- my money is better spent, and better quality, elsewhere.

Our first time having dinner here and the service was amazing! Eric was our server and was wonderful in ensuring we got our order. Patrice and Yamont (name misspelled) were such sweet hostess! They check in your bag and have a quick to go bar. Their menu is great and so many options for everyone! Highly recommend to give this place a try!
