| - This place is kinda out of place. Wait, that didn't make sense. The Vig is all kinds of incongruous. Is that better?
The outside, a plain, wood-planked facade on a lightly-traveled street, doesn't match the inside, a sleekly designed bar & dining area.
The inside, which looks straight out of scottsdale, doesn't match the more laid back neighborhood.
The menu, an ambitious attempt at upscale bar food with a touch of fine dining, doesn't match the bar atmosphere.
I went for lunch and had their house special burger. It really was tasty, and paired with a few options, including a plie of shoestring fries or sweet potato fries, but, again, the identity crisis pops up. It also comes with a little salad. Salad? With a burger? I'm eating a huge chunk of meat and deep-fried potatoes and NOW I'm gonna start eating healthy?
The Vig tries to be so many different things at once, that it never really owns any one thing. The face it shows is all Scottsdale- posh with a hint of fake.
It really is an establishment in an identity crisis.
