    I planned a brunch with about 10 women for 11 AM on Sunday. The weather was absolutely beautiful to sit outside. Lots of women ordered the quiche, and absolutely loved it. Our server was delightful and so easy-going. they had live music by a guitarist, and he wasn’t too loud, so that was nice when conversing with each other. I will definitely definitely be back.

    A friend came to Phoenix to help me celebrate my birthday and I chose The Vig. We had been there to celebrate my grandson's birthday during the DBacks run for the pennant. Has such a good time! And last night continued our happy time at The Vig. Will return regularly. Thanks.

    The food was great, but the service was terrible. The manager comped two of meals, because they came out 17 minutes after the first meals. The server didn’t even notice and we had to call the manger.

    Our waiter was inefficient and did not know the menu items well. They were out of several items due to a shift in the menu. I ordered the salmon ($27) and it was over cooked and very dry. I was very disappointed because the patio is great and a good place to take visitors. I miss the food of Ladera in this location. The food here was very marginal.

    The Vig North CentralResponded on November 10, 2023

    Hey Susan , I am sorry to hear that your experience at the Vig North Central was less than stellar. We pride ourselves on the service we provide as well as the food. I understand a change in menu can be difficult as we get used to plates and grow to love them. I promise the changes that were made are all upgrades across the board. I would love to invite you to shoot me an email so that I can learn more about this experience, in the hopes to better train my team. Jared.barnes@genuineconcepts.us Thank You!

    The calamari appetizer was the best I've ever had and came with fried onion and jalapeño which really added to the dish. All 3 entrees in our party were also delicious. I had hangar steak with chimichurri. So flavorful and tender. Very pleased to have a great place to eat in our neighborhood. Patio is gorgeous and would be great date spot. We had a really nice evening and will be back!

I had the crab and shrimp enchiladas, which were delightful, and my wife chose the turkey club. It was huge! It looked like some of the sandwiches you see on Diners, Drive ins and Dives!! :-) The Vig has become a standard on our rotation of restaurants we enjoy!
