    Absolutely amazing meal from the drinks (margaritas) through dessert. The menu had so many delicious options it was hard to choose - but we started with the spicy cauliflower and homemade guacamole w/salsa and chips. I had the shrimp tacos and my husband had the pork - manageable portions and truly delicious. We ended the meal with the butterscotch bread pudding - mind blowing. What really made the meal special was the top notch service from our server Kristin - she gave honest and spot on drink and food recommendations - she was excellent. We loved the cozy booth and the live music too. All in all, a fabulous evening and we will be back the next time in Phoenix.

    Server was chatty and energetic at first. Unfortunately, we had an issue with one of our cocktails... ordered the daily mule which was explained to us as watermelon mint, however received a "plain" classic mule instead. When brought to servers attention, she was argumentative and assured us the bartender made the correct drink. After that incident, we felt let down and the server was very short with us.

    Super disappointed in this experience. We were seated in an area with limited lighting and at a 2 person table in the middle of two tables that were less than 1 foot apart from our table. Server never bothered to ask if we wanted drink refills, so it’s a good thing that they leave a bottle of water on the table.

    The food was good and our server was very good. The music however was way too loud. We couldn’t carry on a conversation at our table. We requested it be turned down and it was, but then was turned back up a short while later. Instead of adding ambiance, it killed the ambiance and ruined the experience.

    We've eaten at the VIG several times and the service has always been great. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars all the way was because the music on the patio was a little too loud. We had a difficult time holding a conversation without shouting.

    I've been to various Vig restaurants multiple times, including Arcadia, and have always had a great experience. This time was subpar. We had 2 wait staff attending to our table (one was a trainee), so you would think we would have had double the service. Sadly, we were left unattended most of the time. My husband had a diet coke and we had to flag down other servers to get him refills because we never saw our 2 servers. We all ordered our eggs over medium and they came out over easy. And my son-in-laws food did not come out with the rest of the tables. We had to again flag someone down to ask about his meal, since our 2 waitresses never even checked on us after our food was delivered to see if everything was ok. When he finally got his meal, we were all almost finished with our meal. No one ever acknowledged the mistake (clearly his meal was forgotten when the original order was placed), no one apologized, nothing was comped. It was our Easter outing, they were NOT busy at all, but the service was really lacking on this occasion. I'll continue to go to the Vigs; but, I was really disappointed this time.

    Our food was cold, soggy and bland. Not a good experience. I heard really good things about The Vig - perhaps lunch and/or dinner is better. The Hummus was the I only item that was tasty.

    This is the second time in a month that I brought a group of 8 people to The Vig. We sat on the patio for happy hour both times. It was the perfect setting to mingle with work colleagues. The service was attentive, but not annoying. Food and drinks arrived promptly and the bill was reasonable. If you go during happy hour, you may need to ask for a happy hour menu.

    A bit deceiving from the outside. One subdued sign and nondescript green colored entrance door leads to a crisp modern interior bar area with comfortable booths lining the opposite wall. The room leads to an attractive outdoor area. We had nachos, chicken wings and fried calamari, and two drinks each. My gin and tonics were a bit disappointing, as the tonic lacked good flavor and wasn't as evorvescent as it would be from a bottle or can. Having said that ...I did have two and we had very well prepared food and great service. Will go again, for sure.
