    The best crispy cauliflower & Brussel sprout salad around! Outdoor seating & service is also wonderful. Just a great place to eat time & time again.

    The Vig is a fun neighborhood restaurant. We've been there many times and have had good service and good food. Seeing the new setup on the outdoor turf was a little shocking. There were so many chairs and tables set up outside, it felt like a giant wedding would take place with 100 people. It has lost its cozy, private, calm vibe. However, our server was wonderful.

    We were there the night of a large private party outdoors. While service and food were good, the atmosphere outdoors was not very pleasant. The patio tables were much too close together and the live music, right by the door where we were seated, added to the increased noise level.

    Second time we’ve been there… server service a bit disappointing. She never checked up on us, was slow to refill ice teas, waited forever for our bill. We tried several times to flag our waitress to come over but never got her attention. It was not that busy.
