| - Late Thursday lunch at the Vig for about 20 people out at the patio, we all left with a satisfied smile.
Vig has a rather larger patio than I expected, it gives you a very cozy feel with the big tree in the middle, the fireplace and the couches nearby. The inside seating seem to be quite dark as I just walked by. The first glance of its menu is somewhat random, to my opinion, I wasn't sure what is what, but then I was all confused on what I should get, one page yet with so many varieties, can someone please help me?
Well, in our little group of 6, we shared the hummus plate and the homemade potato chips, both were very good, especially those chips, very thinly cut and complimented very well by the spicy chipotle ranch sauce.
I had the market fish plate, which was a kind of Hawaiian white fish (Oahu fish?), simply grilled, served on top of some corn polenta, grilled fennel and cherry tomatoes. The overall vinaigrette over the dish was a bit on the sour side for me, but with the light taste of the fish, it actually balanced it out well. I really enjoyed the dish. Some other dishes on the table included the Pad Thai, fish tacos, black bean burger and the smoked salmon salad. I had to point out the Pad Thai especially, which came in a huge bowl, while it tasted pretty good, I was so convinced its a bowl for two, so if you aren't super hungry, order it to share.
And of course our side of the able had to have some dessert to complete the meal, we all shared the walnut brownie with ice cream. I usually think it's pretty hard to make a bad brownie if you can read instructions, and this one was just perfect for us. You should see how happy when we left.
**One thing to note, although its Thursday at 2pm with only a few tables, parking was quite limited, some of us had to park at the plaza across the street, I cannot imagine if it was a busy time...
