Vice Kitchen Wine Whiskey - Lakewood

The owner is a raging psycho. When I asked what cheese was on the side salad she immediately pointed out I didn’t tell them anything different. Fair point, except side salad don’t normally have cheese. Side Cobb, side chef, maybe. As an owner when you make non-traditional changes don’t be rude when the customer who has food allergies doesn’t know to ask for something different. Then when they are trying to pay don’t rip the receipt out of their hands and tell them they can leave anytime.If you have whiskey in your name, you should have more than 10 options. You should also have glasses that don’t look like they were bought at the thrift store 5 years ago. Then when someone points it out don’t tell them we only have a few and promptly put it in the dishwasher. That glass had more scratches and chips than a 10 year old Colorado Windshield. If you want me to spend my money here have nicer glasses than mine at home.Edit: When I asked what cheese was in the side salad I’m told mozzarella and immediately, you didn’t tell us anything about that. Well when it said side options it didn’t list cheese in the salad. Subbing cow cheese for goat cheese on a burger should be a great clue.So after leaving this review and before I get to sign the receipt it was taken from me, not signed or tipped, and I was told I could leave any time because I was asked to pay $53 for a basic whiskey in a thrift store glass and half a meal I couldn’t eat and I left an a fair review. Oh and thanks to the regular who came out to my car and flipped me off. This is a really high class establishment.If you’re the owner, please feel free to reach out.

Struggling restaurant with poor food. Servers try their best to cover up. Cold food, soggy burnt fries. Try across the parking lot at Launch.

Excellent food (elk, trout “cojones” and great service from our bartender, Jeremy. We’ll definitely be back!

Brought my son to experience elk tenderloin ... omg it was just as I remembered over 40 years ago! Absolutely delicious! We got the thai chicken wings as an appetizer and while nice and crispy (as I like them) the flavor was meh. The sides on the the elk could use a bit more flare ... mashed potatoes were good but nothing to write home about, same with the asparagus. I think maybe a loaded baked potatoe and maybe asparagus fried with some salt pork (that's how I make them) would have been better. But as I said, the star was the elk tenderloin, so tender you could cut it with a butter knife ... and the flavor was outstanding!I also have to say the service was spectacular! we had gone for lunch earlier in the week and had the same bartender/waitress and she was a gem!

The staff and owners make Vice a welcome experience every time. The food is fantastic, no matter what you get. And they're a locally owned, small business. Love it!!!
