The Vig Chicago

Right in the heart of Old Town on Wells. Sort of a fusion of gastropub and fine dining. Salmon BLT was good. Pretty big drink list. Our server was excellent, she handled 10 of us on her own—and it was a family gathering—couldn’t have been easy since everyone was busy catching up with one another. Thanks for having us!

The food and drinks are good (albeit overpriced but the owners charge a ‘3% surcharge’ on the bill. Not sure why they do that and seems scummy. So I just take that 3% off the waiter/waitress tip, you’re only screwing over your own employees ownership :

There are bar/restaurants all up and down Wells in this area. This is the one that is always busy. There is no wonder why. Good service, decent food and a nice busy atmosphere brings people in.They could skip the EDM/techno music inside, but that's just my own taste.

Work event. The food was really good. Portions were sizable. Steak was average. Carrot cake and chocolate cake both exceptional and enough for 6 people to share one piece.

This was my second time here in a row. Honestly, I went for the second time because nothing else was open. I wanted to try different restaurants. I hate wasting my money if the food is not good. The first time was great and the second time was great also. I was not disappointed. I had the pork chop special. Usually I avoid pork chops at restaurants. This pork chop was excellent. You will want to suck on the bone lol. The day before we had salmon hush puppies, the salmon BLT, and the tuna tacos. Everything excellent. Servers excellent also.?
