I have now been to the Vig a handful of times because my hubs likes the vibe & outdoor seating. We went on their anniversary for the good deals on the tasty treats & cocktails. I loved my Coronado Cup & the pork flatbread on special that night. First thing I had here that I really, really, really, enjoyed. The hubs liked the burger previously. Had the guacamole/chips late night menu & it was delish.
That's why the 3 stars. The food, cocktails, patio & service by almost everyone is great!
My only bitch is a big one in my book & it resides with the long dark haired bartender. I've had him a few times now & caters to his buddies/co-workers & local bar staff that visit him late night. . My beer was EMPTY for 13 minutes while he made shots for his buddies/co-workers & practiced drinks on them.13 minutes for a beer this is ridiculous on a Sunday evening at 10:45 p.m. with an empty patio & restaurant & an almost full bar. The only reason I timed it was because he's done this before to us & frankly I was curious. He mixed drinks next to us & never turned his pretty lil' dark long haired head around to serve us. No joke! He's the only bartender/server that I've had issue with at all here but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Ruins the experience completely for me. Not because I'm so important but because everyone else in the restaurant is that much better... There are too many gastro pubs around downtown to darken the door of one that doesn't treat everyone equally with great service. This bartender when he's paying attention to you is really good. He knows what he's doing, is quick & has a lot of personality. But when he's sidetracked by friends/co-workers don't expect a thing. Not even a beer refill cuz that sadly isn't happening. :(
