    Had a reservation and were seated on time but forgotten about. Very slow service to start, same for the table sitting behind us. Waitress was nice and tried to make up for the start but still forget things we asked for. And they were out of the burrata which was why I booked.

    Very nice overall experience on the patio. Live music was an acoustic guitar player who was quite good, and he was inside so just the right sound level outside for conversation. The salmon was terrific and good service. We had a nice evening.

    Our server was great. We had 4 different dishes. Salad with Salmon was good. Fish and Chips was split. Fish was good but fries not great. Steak Frites the steak was overcooked And vegetable was a little tough. Rigatoni Chipotle Cream was good. Had a nice kick. It is a cool place and not crazy prices.

    The Vig is a beautiful restaurant that offers a varied menu with delicious choices. The service here was terrific, and our family enjoyed our dinner there. It was the first time visiting this location, and it won't be our last.

    Had a wonderful Saturday brunch. Coffee, cinnamon roll and Chilaquiles were all amazing. There was even a baby shower or some other type event going on outside and my wife and I hardly even noticed. Bravo to the entire Vig team!!!
