Went on a Saturday night for a last minute meet up with some friends.
First, free valet there is awesome. So thankful that I don't have to drive around looking for somewhere to park.
We ate earlier so just ordered some drinks at first. Our friends, however, had a lovely spread before them. BBQ wings, hummus, and some sandwhich (not sure which). They had never been to the Vig but were quite happy with the food and ate almost everything. They loved the baba ganoush so much that they asked for more along with more pita bread. The waitress want nice enough to bring another helping.
Our friend wanted to try another wine, she asked the waitress to suggest something a little dryer. I was impressed because the waitress was able to suggest an alternative that my friended ended up loving. She was well versed in their wine which was fantastic!
As our first group of friends left and we got a text from a group of girl friends that were just arriving so we decided to stay. They all ordered a Take Bethany Home and let me try. It was pretty delish and definitely unique! It is a blend of cucumber vodka, watermelon puree, fresh lemon, and agave nectar. Who knew cucumber vodka would be good. My Irish husband was over the moon because Jamison was on special whe month of March because of St. Patty's day so he got a shot of the 12 year to sip on and by this time we were hungry so we ordered the bbq wings we had seen our friends eating. They were fantastic, great flavor and a little spicy. I didn't even put ranch on them! Very good
As far as the night atmosphere at this location it was very low key. I was surprised because the other vig gets very crowed. The Uptown location was full of patrons but not so full that you couldn't walk around of find a seat. We even managed to get the bocce ball court for a bit.
I am going to go to for brunch one day for sure!
