What happened?

The best staff and cook must have been home resting for today, Mother's Day.

We all had escargot and it was inconsistent. Not much to be done to prepare this dish. I serve it for small dinner parties! I was reaching onto my daughters plate for garlic butter and it was barely seasoned

I ordered a rack of lamb. Each of the three "chops?" Was about the size and thickness of a quarter. They were VERY tender. I think they cooked them under the heating lamp. All the plates were very hot. A sign they've been sitting under heat for a while. No one at our table was impressed with their meal. The man behind me had two $30+ meals and he was slim. Obviously a frequent flyer here.

Our server never smiled. He was on overload with four tables and trying to keep up with the Ceasar salads and Banana Fosters. He was breathing heavy and sweating.

I left hungry and I had dessert ! We like to think that we dined versus just ate dinner when we go to the pricey places. But we were waiting a long time for everything not dining.

The piano player was great. Poor man was dealing with a piano that needs to be tuned

Guess we need a new special occasion

They have reopened under the owner who had the restaurant from 1972-1999 and they're better than ever. The best possible in service, cuisine and beverages. Tableside service is impeccable and you can't beat the atmosphere of this historical site. If it's the best you seek, Vickers is for you.Charles FlynnChester Springs, PA
