Victoria & Albert's has received AAA's Five Diamond Award every year since 2000 and is currently one of three Florida restaurants to receive the award.[4][3][7][8] Victoria & Albert's is also ranked as the number two fine dining restaurant in the United States by TripAdvisor, behind only Daniel in New York City.[5] In February 2018, it received the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award and is currently the only restaurant in the state of Florida to receive both the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star awards.[9] In 2024, the restaurant became the first Disney-owned and operated restaurant and the first restaurant located in an American theme park resort to receive a prestigious Michelin star.[10]
