Took my sister and niece who were visiting from out of state for dinner and they loved it!!! We had the chips and guac which was perfect!! Chips had just the right amount of salt. Chicken empanadas were so delicious we wanted more!! Between us all we had fish, shrimp, chicken and carnitas tacos. All were fantastic but my personal fav is the carnitas. Pineapple margarita also personal fav!! Love this place every time I’m here!!

We had an amazing experience. The Vick is a bar that serves appetizers. We wanted an actual meal and the restaurant below served more food but we wanted to stay upstairs at the Vick to enjoy the view. So they had a waiter from that restaurant (Iris) come up and serve us. They went out of their way and did not have to. Service was exceptional. Highly recommend.

Overall it was a lovely evening. The staff are great and the restaurant is great. Food is good though a little pricey. I know food costs are high. But in comparison with other restaurants of the same caliber I would say the prices are a little high for the range of choices and size of the meal. This is my second visit and I do love the setting and cocktails are great!!!

This was a wonderful spot to celebrate our anniversary. The food was unique and amazing. The service was incredible too - our server made us feel special with a special treat at the end. And the live piano player added to the ambience.
