The VIG Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
My wife and I were looking for a place to grab an early
My wife and I were looking for a place to grab an early dinner before an event happening at the Chicago Theater. The Vig was a recommendation from a friend for a low key, good vibe, great food spot. It did not disappoint. The food was amazing, the staff was fantastic and the vibe was on point. 10 out of 10.
My initial visit here was enjoyable.
..on a recent Saturday evening so was bustling to say the least. Good cocktails-particularly the Bronx Tale, which included a spiced pear...interesting mix of a good bourbon drink. Food was enjoyed as well-various dips were tasty, and the bread and cucumber slices a good mix of chewy and crispy for bases. Spicy Feta was my favorite. Dinner-wise, the Paradise City steak sandwich was great-the parmesan aioli on the side that had pesto on top was a great topper, while the mac 'n cheese side was tangy and a good pairing. Service was good and it's a high energy place. We sat in the back near the kitchen and back bar which we enjoyed.
Beautiful space with great vibes.
We sat by the large open front window which was a perfect mix between the outdoor patio and fun inside. They had great happy hour deals and our server checked with us right before it ended to see if we needed another round. We came for dinner and ended up only getting the spread board because it was so filling! It was also delicious so we were not disappointed! Finally, it's the perfect location to get dinner before a second city show!
Fun atmosphere.
Big place with a busy, upbeat feel. Went for dinner. Didn't have a reservation but was seated quickly (2 guests). Both meals were great. Smash burger was traditional but very good. Salmon was tender and flavorful. Great vibe for after work drinks or a night out with friends.
Food was pretty good depending on what you ordered.
I got the Mexican torta with normal cheese instead of the vegan cheese and really liked the entree. My table also ordered some spreads (spicy feta, Brie and apricot, and artichoke and kale) with pressed bread. These were also amazing! However some of my table ordered the peri peri pasta and said it was alright ... but not the greatest pasta they'd had / not exactly what they were expecting. Reason for the lower stars: we were celebrating a birthday and ordered a chocolate cake. They were super nice to put a firework on the cake so presentation was awesome. However, normally restaurants do not charge for complimentary birthday desserts. We were not told we were going to be charged either, so we were shocked to see this on the bill. This was totally fine and we paid for the cake but just wish this was made clear by the server. The cake itself was also pretty dry and overly sweet for our taste. Didn't feel like it was up to par with other similarly priced restaurants.
We were in from out of town and a friend recommended this
We were in from out of town and a friend recommended this spot for brunch! We went on the earlier side, around 10:30 and it was easy to be seated. We originally had a reservation for 11, but they were kind and seated us early! It was a beautiful day so they had the windows and doors open - even provided sunglasses on the table if the sun was in your eyes. We watched the place slowly start to really fill up around 11/11:30 - seems like the place to start your day if out bouncing around bars. I ordered a prosecco to drink and it was a decent portion for the price, my boyfriend liked their selection of beer as well. The brunch menu isn't huge, but I feel like everyone can find something on there. For the price, this is a great deal because the portions are truly HUGE! I ordered the Avocado toast, and was met with a giant plate housing two huge slices of toast with all the fixins. This was such a surprisingly flavorful dish, I couldn't get enough of it. Highly recommend to any egg/avocado toast lover! I definitely would come back here for a night out or big happy hour with friends.
Our local friends recommended this spot to us.
When we arrived at the restaurant it was a little louder and busier than we expected, but cute hip spot. Definitely happy we made reservations in advance for our weekend dinner plans. We got the Brussel Sprouts Parmesan Fries for our appetizers and enjoyed them both. I ordered the Baby Back Ribs for my entree and was immediately impressed. The ribs were some of the best I ever had. They were falling off the bone and the sauce was delicious. I enjoyed every bite! We also got the Chimichurri Steak which was enjoyable as well.
Great ambiance.
Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating with our stroller. The burger was 10/10 and old fashion was delicious with the perfect amount of sweet!
All of our food was drowned in sauce (regardless of what we
All of our food was drowned in sauce (regardless of what we ordered), which really means they can't cook. I only wish I took a picture of the food so any prospective guests could see the amount of unnecessary sauce. The music at a Sunday brunch was so loud that I couldn't hear my daughter sitting next to me. Service was fair at best. Also, they're still adding the 3% covid service fee - which is the first time I've seen that in the last 18 months. I'd avoid and recommend you do so too!
YES! My favorite stop on this trip to Chi-Town! Everything
YES! My favorite stop on this trip to Chi-Town! Everything about this place screamed quality! The staff was very attentive! We were sat immediately, had water within a minute of sitting, and were greeted by our server for drinks within 2 minutes! I don't know what their metrics are for greet times, but I assure you, they exceeded my expectations! The food took the appropriate time in my eyes and came out perfect! The steak was ordered medium, the meat was high quality, the potatoes were crunchy outside and soft in the middle with some kind of sauce that paired perfectly! As soon as we finished, the dirty dishes were cleared - the movement in this place was a thing of beauty, no one was standing around! The Managers were clearing tables, seating guests, and running food! This is how its done! Do yourself a favor, make this a stop on your trip!
Chicago's Best Restaurants that are most frequently booked by customers of The VIG Chicago
Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
