So I totally love the Vig on 40th St and I was glad to hear they opened a new location. I have been wanting to check it out since it opened but just never had the time. So what better time to go then on a Sunday for 1/2 price bottles of wine :).
I really love the new location's look. It was a little hard to find if you have never been but after a drive by I found it on the second pass. The building is very modern and really open inside. Instead of the outdoor patio like the 40th st. location they have a huge Arizona room in the back. It still has a fireplace but instead of a fire it's lit with candles. This will be really nice for the summer months when the other patio is way too hot.
So on to the food and wine. I ordered the starter crab and artichoke dip which was heavenly. For beverage I got a bottle of Lapostolle Casa Sauvignon Blanc. It was very good and with the half off price it was only $10.50.
On to the entree I ordered the Achiote Salmon and Chorizo Arepa. The salmon was good but being from Seattle I could tell it was Atlantic. It's not necessarily a bad thing but I'm kind of a salmon snob :). Anyways the Chorizo Arepa was very good. It's a little sweet corn cake with Chorizo in the middle. EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH CHORIZO!!!!
Overall a great atmosphere, great food, and a great restaurant. I can't wait to go back for Sunday Brunch they have some great stuff on their menu for it and they open at 10am till 2pm. MMMMMMMM
