              I have gotten the chicken wings for years, but this time, although they tasted good, they were tiny! Like they used baby chickens!! Come on Vig, you are better than that!

              Great outdoor dining space. Food was average at best. We had the pastrami Rueben and the chicken Thai entire as well as shared the cauliflower app. Service mediocre. Server took our order promptly and did bother to show to ask how the food was. We saw her next to give us our bill. Maybe happy hour is better.

              We reserved outdoor seating, which was so nice. The outdoor area is meticulous. They pay great attention to their environment. Service was great, he gave us recommendations that were spot on. The food was excellent. We had a great evening at the VIG.
