    Overall a very good visit. The service was very good. The outdoor table was a perfect place to enjoy a meal. The food was good, not great. The fries were not hot and were a bunch of hard crispy ends. The thai dish looked like it hadn't been made in quite awhile (as in, not many people order it) because it was brought to the table about 5 minutes after the other food, and it looked like it had been microwaved. It probably wasn't, but it looked that way....like as though the dish was an afterthought. The burger was really good. The honey chicken was average and could use more flavor.

    The Vig is our awesome "go to." All time favorite restaurant when family is in town or wanting to spend time with good friends around the fire pit. The truffle fries and guacamole are a great start to a fabulous evening. Such a great vibe. Everyone from the front desk to the manager to our amazing server are the best!

    We came for dinner as a part of the restaurant’s Valentine offering, a fixed price, fixed choice menu. 1. Our server was a new trainee and incorrectly explained the offering. She wanted to do a good job but wasn’t trained on this event. 2. The food was poor, and served at best warm(ish) and it obviously had been sitting for quite a while. We have had good experiences here in the past, some days quite good, others not. We did regret our decision to do our Valentine date night here.

    Service was a little slow, everything else was very good. Best Rueben sandwich I've ever had, highly recommend it.
