Vickers is closing after more than 50 years. It is a special restaurant for special occasions and will be missed.
Amazing, as expected. Quaint, beautiful farmhouse, cozy fireplace, wonderful ambience to complement the outstanding menu and cocktails. I have a hard time not choosing the escargot when I am here; it's prepared wonderfully. Beef Wellington was the main entree, also prepared exactly as ordered. So disappointed to hear that this wonderful restaurant will be soon closing. You will be missed!
The place is closed now... but i loved coming here. the food was always on point and loved seeing the all the regulars. everyone knows each other and its like a big get together Fridays and Saturdays Joe was always there playing the piano. Nothing like hearing Piano playing in the background while having a nice dinner. I surely will miss this place! Service: Dine in
