I had an earlier review of this place's performance at lunch which had a higher rating. Last night, however, took the cake. There was a horrible, really awful, stench out on the back deck of The Vig. It smelled like an entire family of rats had died underneath our table. It was the smell of death, or of a really dirty restaurant. It wasn't pleasant. Unfortunately, it started up as we were halfway into our meal.
I know that the patio of The Vig is a popular hangout, so I am actually baffled as to what's wrong with manager Pam and others in management who hear about this from customers and yet don't do anything? They say "It's not our fault. It's the restaurant next door, with stinky dumpsters." As is true in the rest of your life, making excuses doesn't help. The only thing that would help is the complete elimination of the odor. Others were going inside the restaurant to eat. We stayed and finished our meal -- only later were we surprised no one had offered to move us inside as well. My guess is that if they had, about ten tables would have volunteered to move -- and they couldn't fit everyone inside if that was the case.
I wrote a note on my check hoping someone would take pity on us and offer a free drink or something for my next visit. But no . . . Not even a call to management the next day resolved this. "Not our problem" was the response.
Unbelievable.
