I've been to three Vig locations and really like their food and cocktails. I wouldn't give them 5 stars because I think their portions could be a little bigger for the prices. However, it's a consistently good place to go for Happy Hour or a late night snack. I usually get the Fish Tacos or Charcuturie Board and a Moscow Mule which does come in a copper mug.
The Vig in Arcadia is probably my favorite because the patio is really intimate and Holly Pyle and House of Stairs play there sometimes. That really makes a boring Wednesday night fun!
This Vig location also has a really nice patio but a totally different relaxed vibe.
One of the reasons I'm writing this review is because I saw this Vig location being criticized as "not family friendly" on another online forum. There seemed to be some fundamental misunderstanding that because there are a lot of families in the McDowell Mountain area that it "should" be a family restaurant. That is completely ridiculous!
This Vig location is just like the others, mostly a bar. And it was set up to accommodate adult guests that might be biking or hiking in the area as a place to relax and chill. I don't know why someone would think the fundamental nature of the restaurant would change because of the location. So just in case you're wondering...this is an upscale adult drinking and dining environment.
Pretty views, nice patio, nice architectural style...definitely give it a try.
