Our group was looking for a nice place to grab a drink but one person couldn't get into the Beetles Lounge and TaO so we decided to come here. It took 30 minutes to catch a place outside for our group. It was not too crowded inside. They were not that busy on the inside. This place is very small. Now for the drinks.... We ordered Mojitons, Pina Colada, Banana Cream drink, Whisky drink and something else. The frozen drinks tasted worse than icee or slurpies. Then the mojitos were too minty and not sweet at all and could barely taste the rum. They checked my I.D like for 3 minutes and 2 times eventhough I'm 23! lol but the lady was really nice inside and another guy outside was good too.

Okay, so we gave the Vig a chance after trying for a few months to get in at a reasonable wait. Enough time has passed that the fad-of-the-moment crowd has subsided and you can actually get a table on a Saturday night. We've gone three times so far with friends and each time the experience has been fun. I do enjoy the grapefruit cocktail but it's a bit sweet. Order it with the rim salted and now we're talking. We enjoy sitting on the "patio" and even though technically you are still in the building, the airyness of it seems like you are outside and it feels cavernous. The interior design is amazing with a few show-stopping elements like the plant wall that greets you at the entrance and the reclaimed flooring now used as an architectural element behind and above the host stand. It's illuminated from behind casting a combination of amber light and warm shadows heightened by the horizontal planes. The fireplace on the patio and bocci ball field are whimsical elements complimented by a box of trivial pursuit questions on the table. Definite plus for conversation starters for sure. My favorite dish, hands down is the Salmon. I'm not a huge cooked fish fan but this is one tasty dish. The fish is caramelized to just the right level of crispness while the interior is flaky and juicy. The burgers are respectable and the roast beef au jus is fantastic..tho a little more meat and a little less bread would be perfect. In sum, the Vig uptown is a great place to go with friends to have great conversation and pretty good service. It's a bit noisy for a first date or romantic meal but for a group of friends it's pitch perfect. We plan on returning often and including it in our rotation of favorite spots.

Came here due to the 4.5 star ratings on yelp and ordered 3 combos to go. The inside is plain as a small asian restaurant should be (you won't get that unless you're asian sorry). The staff were very courteous and gave us complimentary peanuts and tea as we waited for our orders. They even came around to check on us and refill our drinks (remember we're a to-go order there really is no obligation to serve us). The food was good. Meat jun was eggy and delicious, the meat was pretty tender and flavorful, and the kimchi was strong and funky. There was plenty of rice and for the price and location this was a good cheap lunch. I'd definitely recommend this place for those who are looking for a relatively inexpensive lunch option.
