YAY!!!!!!!!!!! After months of anticipation, the new Vig location (closer to me vs. what is now affectionately referred to as "The Vintage Vig") is open and did not disappoint! Whew!
The parking seems to still have some kinks to work out, as any signs of a valet stand or staff were MIA when I initially pulled up (7pm on a Sunday). We figured it out though and no big deal.
The atmosphere here is just awesome, I absolutely love it. It seems more spacious than the original space, but it was also slow while I was in there so I am hesitant to make a firm judgement until after it passes the Friday-happy-hour-test. Same great vibe though, perhaps even warmer/sexier atmosphere. The biggest surprise to me was the faux patio, with large open windows but actually an enclosed space. For me, one of the fatal flaws of the original Vig patio the limited outdoor seats that also weren't smoking tables, so perhaps this is a good solve?
Overall, will absolutely put this spot in heavy rotation. Keep the new locations coming, please!!
