| - I've been meaning to go to the Vig for ages. i finally got to go on Friday, for a friend's birthday. We ate elsewhere, then headed over to The Vig for drinks. It's a beautiful place; atmosphere-wise it's got a great date ambiance. It was close to 10 when we got there, so it was already pretty crowded, but we headed to the patio that was fairly empty due to the cold.
It's even more lovely outside. We huddled around a heater, and I was really absurdly impressed when a waitress came around and offered us blankets. Very soft, puffy, lovey blankets that I wanted to steal. Our waitress was pretty rude, though, and had an "I'm way too cool for you" attitude. I typically don't blame the establishment for that, unless it's ongoing and constant every time I go. So since it's my first visit, I won't take a star away just yet.
I had been told they had a wicked chocolate martini, so I ordered that. It was frankly pretty grody. But that's just a matter of personal taste, and I just won't order it again.
The problem? The crowd was soooo not my crowd. It was all the shiny people from Scottsdale. I really, really wanted to like it. I still do. I will give it a couple more tries, and I am curious how the food is.
For a night out drinking, final destination-type place? I'm just not feeling it. But I bet it's ideal for a lazy day of day-drinking on the patio, once we get our lovely early spring weather.
