Viglo Pop-Up Dinner at Aqua Grill
You are invited to participate in the Viglo dining experience. This event is carefully created as a labor-of-love by Chef Mimi Lan of TasteCurator.com and Executive Chef Mike Thomashunis of Aqua Grill, to be held at Aqua Grill restaurant in Sawgrass Village, Ponte Vedra.
