This one in a million restaurants was at one time the BEST. Will it ever open again? I heard that it was repurchased be the original owner who had made it the "one in a million" place. Looking forward to dine there again. So great!
Prior to the re-opening our visits to the Vickers had declined as it was becoming very hit and miss, (although not as appalling as the Duling-Kurz) and like most Chester County restaurants with pretensions hadn't got the faintest idea what went into fine dining.
We duly made reservations and show...
We had a party of 7 adults & 3 children (one being below the age of 8)try the Vickers for Mother's Day. It was a complete disaster & disappointment. I would'nt eat there even if you paid me to. The service was horrific. When we walked in, there was nobody there to greet us. We went over to the bar...
This place used to be right up there with Dilworthtown Inn when Arturo owned it previously. Not so any more. On arrival we were seated quickly in the empty front room and told "I need to give the bartender a table to wait on". Gee thanks! Escargot appetizer was terrible. They forgot to put garlic in...
Terrible!!!!! Man at door was rude...no hello, how are you. Simply, NAME. I asked for a larger dining room. not the tiny room on the side and it was obvious that the other dining rooms had tables, however, we were told "I need to give this waiter a table" ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?! The server had no id...
The room was hot. The waitress kept sniffling and wiping her nose with her hand. We were ignored by the wait staff and the manager. The lobster bisque should be called "lack of lobster" bisque. The burger was way over done. It's questionable it was beef. My burger was served on two bun tops while my...
On word that Vickers was a good restaurant, we decided to try it out for our anniversary dinner after Christmas. The food was terrible. The ceasar's salad had too much vinegar. I ordered my steak medium and it was dry and the sauce was terrible and unedible. My wife's dinner was drowned in heavy...
Been quite a few years since we dined at Vickers and it will be quite a few more before we return. The snob appeal is still in place but nothing warrants it. A fall Friday evening....Caesar salad prepared tableside by a preoccupied gentleman who had no clue was tasteless. Raw egg? Why even bothe...
This restaurant is located in a historic tavern and has been in existence for about 30 years. A couple of years ago it was renovated. The food has always been very good and the service excellent.
I have visited the Vickers several times over the past six months, both for business, and for social occasions. Each time I have been there, I have noticed that the ingredients in the food seem to be cheapening, and the presentation from the chef is disappointing- tiny Dover Soles, poor quality vege...
We went to Vickers on their opening night on November 13 and it was amazing! The dishes are updated but still have that classic gourmet feel. The Lobster Bisque was out of this world and they are still doing some of their classic items table side. I had the duck and my husband had the Steak Diane. S...
Our family had Thanksgiving Dinner at the newly opened Vickers and found an absolute charmer. Everyone was pleased with their dinners, even the under 10yr. group. The Turkey was moist and flavorful, which doesn't always happen in restaurants on this highly celebrated "Turkey Day". The Rack of Lamb...
We just returned from having dinner at the Vickers and I must say our food was excellent! The ceasar salad was one of the best I have had and the rack of lamb was wonderful. The other diners had a filet and bison and both said they were very good. It is somewhat pricey but the food is very good. T...
WOW! We went to Vickers for their New Years Eve Gala and it was wonderful! Everything from the decorations to the entertainment was fantastic. We have been there a couple of times since it has reopened and wow it is just wonderful. It is a real gem of Chester County! We always get the Caesar salad d...
I just read the article in Chester County Life about the old owner returning to Vickers and was interested in checking it out. We haven't been there for a while. It was amazing! Definitely a different feel from the last owner, and the service and food a total 360. Their chef came out to the dining r...
This was a welcome change from the "Old Vickers". For those of you who don't know, the current owner of Vickers used to own the Kennedy Supplee Mansion, which was renowned for its outstanding food and service. Vickers follows suit to a "t"! I recommend the smoked duck (from the cold cart) so very...
Been there for lunch twice and twice for dinner . Great experience. It is getting back to its old excellence. Last dinner was June 4, 2009 with a party of 9 and everyone wants to go back.
There was a void in Chester County and sorrow in our hearts when Arturo sold the Vickers years ago... Now he is back. Arturo's Tour de Force is evident in every aspect of the restaurant; the decor, friendliness, world class cuisine and wines. His service staff is second to none. No plate slamming, ...
