    Great patio and outdoor atmosphere, delicious lavender cocktail, and nice sized southwest chicken salad. The fries and ranch are super solid as well, can't go wrong.

    This was a really good experience. I've been to the Arcadia location and my experience was the same. Only giving 4 stars because I wanted a fish sandwich instead of fish and chips but the chef said no. I ordered a bun on the side and made it myself. Our server was great and made sure we had everything we needed.

    Cozy and intimate place that's great for little life celebrations. Menu is often on rotation per season so it's cool to explore new options each time you're in. Last time we went we had been waiting on another guest to arrive and the staff was just as attentive if not more as we waited with appetizers for a bit. Ordered main course around 45 minutes after sitting and it came out quick. Food was delicious as always.

    Grilled Chicken Chopped Salad
    Kathy M.

    The Vig has many locations in the valley. It appears to be a staple. The ambiance is nice - they even have a large patio seating area. Our server stopped by when only half of the table was seated (the rest were either in the restroom or at the bar). He told us he'd be right back but it took him nearly 10-15 min to come back. The restaurant wasn't busy either. This was the first red flag. When we placed our orders, it took 15-20 min for our entrees to arrive. I ordered the grilled chicken chopped salad. It was so mediocre for $19. The chicken was tough and dry - I could barely pierce it with my fork. I asked for a new side of chicken and it was not that much better. It wasn't over cooked but it was low quality. My friend ordered The Vig burger and they brought out the wrong one. It took forever for them to bring a replacement. My husband also ordered this, and it just tasted average. Our other friend ordered a burger with a side of fries. When it arrived, it came with mac and cheese. One of the servers took the plate and said she'd replace it, but then our main server just brought it back with the same exact thing 5 min later. She did end up getting her side of fries later on. I was really excited about the parmsean truffle fries because they were so fragrant but it turned out to be a bust. The fries did not taste fresh and you could hardly taste the truffle parm. The quality, the service, and the overpriced food made the experience lackluster. Overall, this was one of the worst restaurants I've been to in a long time.

    VIG Burger
    Andy M.

    My perception of The Vig was that it is a Phoenix staple. Now that I've had the chance to try it, I don't know why. Our experience here was problematic from start to finish. First, it took a really long time to take our order and receive our food. Which was perplexing as the restaurant was half empty. Certain things didn't even make sense to be delayed (my friend was told they were "working on her Diet Pepsi"). The service was nice, but not functional. We got wrong orders, failing to correct that wrong order multiple times, and just overall seemed to exhibit a lack of communication or workflow in the restaurant. The food was also lackluster. The guacamole didn't taste like it had any lime at all. My wife's salad came with chicken breast that was insanely dry. This was not a personal opinion, it was objectively dry as it was borderline chicken jerky. We received a new piece of chicken that was cooked better but overall seemed like low quality chicken was used. My burger was fine, and so were the fries. But I had upgraded to the truffle Parmesan fries and the "truffle Parmesan" flavors were very weak. Ultimately didn't live up to being a $20+ burger Our group was left wondering what just happened and unsatisfied. There are much better dining options downtown

    I thought this place was nice, but nothing stood out as super amazing. I got the Mediterranean salad which our waiter said was a menu item exclusive to this location. I also added shrimp. I liked the amount of shrimp they gave, but I found the overall dish to be a bit salty. I'm not sure if it was the shrimp or the olives or the extreme amount of feta, but something was super salty. My friend ordered the pretzel with cheese and another friend ordered Mac n cheese. I tried a bit of both, and both cheeses kind of had a weird texture. A bit like the cheese sauce had broken? Also tasted slightly bland. Another negative was the flourless chocolate cake. This was a pass for me as it was bitter and a tough texture. In terms of positives it was my friends birthday and they do a free birthday dessert! It was the bread pudding. I really enjoyed this! Honestly my favorite bite of the night. Another highlight was the hibiscus gin spritz. I thought it tasted yummy and seemed like it had a good amount of alcohol. Lastly, the ambience and service was super great! Everyone was very nice and the place itself is very pretty. Overall I'm not sure I would choose to come here again, but I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to come here.

    Shrimp Tacos
    Heidi A.

    The lack of parking was very difficult for me. But that's probably out of the restaurant's control. The shrimp tacos were very yummy. The service was good overall but someone else in my party ordered chicken salad and there was no chicken in it, which was bizarre. There was a miscommunication which made it even more frustrating but they did remedy the problem for them. It's a very nice place, casual enough but good for a date as well.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at the Vig. Party of 23 dined here recently and the process from making a reservation to being seated, to ordering, to keeping tabs separated, to the food and service ...everything was excellent. We all had a variety of dishes from the stem frites, enchiladas, tacos, pasta...all were a hit. The apps were also enjoyed. Definitely recommend this restaurant...add to your rotation today!

    The Vig is always a hit for a nice lunch. On today's visit we sat inside even though the patio is very inviting, it was a very hot summer day! We started with drinks, I had the blackberry smash, not too sweet, refreshing with bourbon and blackberry puree.. yum! They have a great lunch, happy hour and a regular menu. There is something for everyone. I had the Thai noodles.. sorta like pad Thai. Delicious and filling. Service was on point. I will definitely be back.

    Harvest Salad
    Amy C.

    The Vig is a go to spot for my friend and I before concerts downtown! It is a nice vibe inside. Parking is easy and it is normally not too busy. We always start with chips and guac which are always a hit! I got the harvest salad with chicken for my entree. It was nice and fresh! Chicken was nothing special. Our server was not the most attentive with refilling our drinks but besides that did a good job! Not my ultimate fave but a solid spot.

    Chicken Sandwich + Side Salad (lunch special)
    Cory S.

    I had a colleague meeting me recently at the Arizona State University Downtown Campus, and we decided to go for a short walk to The Vig Fillmore for lunch a few weeks ago. We arrived and learned about the menu specials for lunch. We noted the starters, soups & greens, sandwiches, tacos, brunch options, entrees, dessert, kids meals, and many drink options. Since we were working, we stuck with the lunch specials that are available on weekdays from 11 AM to 3 PM for only $14. They included an entree (Genuine Burger, Chicken Sandwich & Side, Asian Chicken Salad, or Pozole) and drink. We both chose the Chicken Sandwich lunch specials. I got mine with a side salad and lemonade. They were delicious, a bit smaller than a typical dinner portion, but certainly something I'd consider again over lunch. The Vig Fillmore is in the historic part of Downtown Phoenix with a large, shaded patio along with some indoor rooms, too. As it was a record-breaking day when we were visiting, we opted to sit indoors. In addition to plenty of outdoor seating which is shaded and cool, there are limited seating right by the front door where we sat along with other indoor seating that I have yet to experience. The service we received was wonderful plus they weren't too busy being lunchtime in the middle of the week while ASU was still in summer mode. The Vig is part of the Genuine Concepts restaurants and have been around since 2006. Other Genuine Concepts include Campo Italian Bistro and Bar, The Genuine, The Little Woody, The Womack, and The McMillan Bar and Kitchen (in Flagstaff). There are currently seven The Vig restaurants with an eight opening in Paradise Valley in the near future. The Fillmore location is open Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 10 PM, Friday from 11 AM to 11 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 10 PM. You can make reservations for lunch or dinner (or something in between) for The Vig Fillmore at OpenTable or on their website. They also host private events and catering, and you can place online orders through their website. You can read more about all of this and sign up for their e-mail list at https://www.thevig.us. I also heard great things about the happy hour (which I think I may have visited a few years ago with friends). I certainly look forward to returning again to this location as well as when the location at the PV opens up soon.

    Genuine Cheeseburger

    I've been to the Vig 3 other times and always had a wonderful experience. This time was just meh, subpar. The positives: the food was hot and tasty. The burger and fries were delicious as were the steak frites. The wings were crispy but could've used more sauce. The patio is large and beautiful. However, we had some negatives going on this particular Saturday evening. First, we had reservations, and we showed up a few minutes early, but it still took them 20 minutes to seat us, despite the fact that it was not busy at all. Second and most disappointing, our server was not good. He was not attentive, took forever for him to take our order and bring our food, and we had to ask him numerous times to refill our water and soft drinks cause he never stopped by to check on us. With so many great choices out there, I'll go somewhere else next time with better service.

    Pozole
    Stephen L.

    We got to the restaurant for an early dinner around 5pm and were told they were short staffed and service will be slower than normal. I'm definitely appreciative when a server gives us that warning as we can decide to leave or stay committed... which of course we did. As for the food: Enchiladas-5/5, I haven't had enchiladas in a minute, but definitely will come back and it's perfectly filled with chicken, sauce, and topped with a bunch of toppings. Pesto pasta- 4/5- great taste full of basil and garlic, but lacking chicken. Feels like there was only a sprinkle of chicken Posole - 2/5- it looks good when it came out, but OMG it was salty galore. I thought adding lime would help, but after 5 slices ... I'm like, not worth getting high blood pressure for this As for drinks, forgot what we ordered, but it was good.

    Ask the Community - The Vig Fillmore

    Is there parking close by? If so, does the restaurant offer parking vouchers?

    Public parking all over. On the street and limited spaces behind the restaurant. I don't think there are vouchers, never asked for one.

    Are there tvs?

    Yes around the bar area

    Are there bottomless mimosas during brunch?

    No bottomless. But Sundays you can get a bottle for $25 + your choice of juice carafe on the side!

    Are dogs allowed in the patio area?

    They are welcome!

    What time do open on Sundays?

    10AM

    Gluten free options?

    My niece joined us Sunday and she's Vegan and she totally loved the options they had for her. Also, they said many of their menu items are or can be made to meet your gluten-free and vegetarian needs upon requests. I hope this helps. 😊

Unfortunately, the hostess who greeted me wasn't very welcoming, and there was another noticeable wait before my food was ready. The pricing is a bit on the higher side, but I will say the burger itself was excellent--great flavor, a nice char, and a generous portion of fries. Overall, this place has a lot of potential given its atmosphere and food quality, but improving customer service--especially front-of-house friendliness and efficiency--would make a big difference. If you're already staying at the hotel, it's worth checking out, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to return.

The bartenders are amazing however we are sad our normal peeps have left. Tonight Sean KILLED it with us and so glad he was still there since first meeting him on Halloween. Honestly the reason for 4 stars is the fact the drunken wifey is gone and the 3% credit card fee. We have been coming here for a little over 5 years and never had to pay that. Wild change and slightly bs. You already charge a lot for food and drinks (increases over the years are noticeable with management changes) but when you always have a rather large bill usually $700-sometimes over $1000 depending on the kind of evening we're having it is going to be very noticeable. A change like that needs to be more obvious, minus a little print at the bottom of the menu. No one even noticed (since we really didn't need the menu to order) nor did our server. It truly makes me want to give you a three star but I can't discredit the hard working staff and people in the kitchen, as it is clearly the change of new management and the "rebuild" from the beginning of the year. It speaks volumes to a group that has been dedicated to the Americano since March of 2020 and now makes us wonder if it's time to move onto a different restaurant.
