    Our party of 6 had a great time! We were early for our reservations and Cam,the mgr, made sure we had a table outside where we could enjoy drinks and appetizers while we waited. Our server, Justice, also was wonderful. Our food was delicious and prompt. Overall a really enjoyable evening with superb customer service. Thank you

    Such a vibe up here! Came to The Vick with some friends on a Friday night and it totally lived up to the hype. The rooftop view is gorgeous overlooking UC. I had this bourbon cocktail that was smoky and sweet in the best way. We also tried a couple of small bites and everything was fresh and full of flavor. They have these fancy vending machines with snacks and drinks you can grab to go. I ended up grabbing a charcuterie box and a cold brew on my way out and felt weirdly fancy about it 😂. Good for date night, girls’ night, or even just a solo spot. Will 100% be back!
