The Vig Uptown is a textural dream. For me? This will definitely be a recurring one. Maybe it was the unique "cactus columns" upon walking in or the herb garden to the left, but there is truly something charming and down to earth about the new Vig location.
Do some research and modern enthusiasts will quickly find that the remodel of The Vig Uptown was originally Ralph Haver's AIA Award winning 1961 Arizona Bank building. Sweet....
The Vig's food is pretty good. What's great about their menu is that they offer a range of dishes to choose from (many items the same from the Arcadia Vig) so surely there is something for everyone.
I always seem to drink wine when I'm at the Vig Arcadia but I couldn't look past the "Take Bethany Home" (Clever!) with Crop Organic Cucumber Vodka, Watermelon Puree, Fresh Lemon & Agave Nectar. A fantastic name with a drink to match.
The booths at this place are huge, great for happy hour (1/2 off Apps and $2 off drinks) We sat at the tables by the bar but the patio looked fun and I'll have to feel that space out next time.
True to it's predecessor, although it was the "soft opening" there was already the parking nightmare we've all come to know and (not) love about many places in the valley.
But surely, a good dream is always worth revisiting.
