The Vig Chicago

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The breakfast and service were excellent, and I would definitely return. Although we had to wait 20 minutes on a busy Saturday, the turnover rate was surprisingly quick considering the crowd. The DJ was playing loud music inside, but it really suited the atmosphere of the place.

My wife and I visited this restaurant for brunch before heading to a Catholic wedding ceremony. I began with an Aperol spritz and enjoyed it so much that I ordered a second; they were refreshing and easy to drink. My wife chose the salmon board, which was generous enough to serve 2 to 3 people. I opted for the brisket hash, which came with bacon, crispy potatoes, a fried egg on top, and hollandaise sauce. It was a hearty portion and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere inside was fantastic, and there were plenty of TVs to enjoy as well.

The welcoming atmosphere combined with the fantastic food earns this place a 10/10 recommendation! It's definitely a restaurant in downtown Chicago worth checking out. Pictured is the delicious mac and cheese, but the star of the show is the Moroccan Turkey Burger, which you absolutely must try!

Came here for a bday dinner with 6 friends. We had to wait about 15 min for our table despite a reservation. They were busy and were friendly. We ordered food. It was a decent. Our bill ran a bit over $400 for 6 people. Was expecting better food for thatprice. But it was ok. The DJ is amazing and at night they moved tables for dancing. It was very hot in there. I?ve never been ina warmer club/restaurant. My party and I were all sweating. So we decided to do coat check. While waiting in line for coat checka staff member came over to tell us we couldn?t stand there (in line for coat check) but in such a stern voice. I understandworking at a bar sometimes you have to be stern with people but it felt so hostile and uncalled for. I?ve worked 8 years incustomer service and i would?ve never talked to someone like that. So I gave her that energy back and told her ?we are waitingin line for coat check and were told to wait here? to which she responded ?you don?t talk to me like that I AM THE MANAGER?which had nothing to do with anything. It was very obvious this person wasn?t having a good night and considering we weren?tbothering anyone and we just spent half a grand at your business the hostility and power dynamic energy they brought into ourdining experiencing was horrible. Uncalled for. I responded with ?I don?t care if you?re the manager we are minding our businessand in line for coat check? and after an intense eye stare she walked away without saying anything. I?m not sure if I lookedsubmissive but I don?t even let me parents or my boss talk to me like that. Much less someone I don?t know. So rude.

I absolutely love the service here! Evin C, the server and bartender, is exceptional—so respectful, professional, and experienced. This establishment is incredibly well-run, and I’d rate it a solid 10. I can’t wait to return soon with my friends!
