“Waitstaff was wonderful! Very attentive!! The food was amazing”
“The Vig is a fantastic spot in Old Town—honestly great for just about any occasion. The happy hour deals are legit, with solid $10 cocktails and really good bites. The wait staff was fantastic and the overall vibe was upbeat and welcoming. Everything just clicked. Huge shoutout to the Moroccan Turkey Burger—absolute standout. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was incredibly flavorful and juicy, and the saffron gave it a unique kick that made it memorable. Already looking forward to the next visit. Highly recommend.”
“Very sceney, great people watching. Service was pretty efficient system but we were still left waiting a lot. Deviled eggs were awesome. Cauliflower steak was pretty bland and I was underwhelmed by the vegetable side (tomato salad). The southern chicken was amazing though and cocktails were good.”
“Excellent hostess, service, and food during a very busy World Cup Finals. Thank you!”
“Annie and Evan were so kind and amazing! Appreciate the great service and would definitely return here. Food was fantastic and Evan as our bartender made the best drinks.”
“Had such a wonderful experience here! Our server was incredibly kind, attentive, and seemed to know exactly what we needed before we even asked. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. I also loved the potatoes, which paired perfectly with the salad I tried. Everything came together beautifully, and it’s easy to see why this place leaves such a great impression. I’m already looking forward to coming back!”
“great parmesan fries, amazing drinks, and an even better hostess. i would definitely come back.”
