| - Went to this place for the 1st time last night. I'd been to the other one and loved, loved, loved the atmosphere. For whatever reason, The Vig likes locations that offer no parking to patrons; you're either forced to get in line to valet, or you park somewhere down the street. So before we even got into the restaurant, we were nearly in a wreck just sitting in line for valet; not a good way to start the evening.
However, the valet guy was quick and friendly, as was the girl at the front desk. 6:30 on a Friday night was a 50 minute wait; not horrible but not ideal. We squeezed up to the bar and again the service was fast and friendly, then sat back down in the lobby and waited.
Once seated, the server was friendly and really efficient. Everyone's order looked awesome, especially the pizza. The salmon dish that I had was the best I'd had in quite awhile; a must try if you are there.
We went with friends and it was a bit loud, so if you're looking for a place to relax, have a nice meal, and chat, this isn't it. Not that you're rushed, but it's just too loud to really have a conversation (think sports bar loud).
I'll definitely go again but here are my suggestions:
1. Go after 7pm where you stand a chance to park in the adjacent parking lot (not allowed before 7pm)
2. Don't go starving because you're going to have to wait
3. Don't plan on having deep, meaning conversations with the people you're with, but do plan on people watching and enjoying some amazing food.
Salud!
