"I am never disappointed when I visit Extra Virgin. The small bites were fabulous with the olives having me have another order of them. The chickpea fries outstanding, the asparagus yum, the wild boar ragu wonderful. You can't go wrong on anything you order. Now that's hard to find at a restaurant!"

"The crew at Extra Virgin are great - The servers can recommend things from the menu based on your likes and dislikes. All the servers seem knowledgeable about the menu and the bar. Our server got me a great cocktail based on what mood I was in! Spoiled, I know. I think I've come close to trying everything on the menu - and you guys should really give it a try during happy hour 11a-6p M-F selected items on the menu (marked with *) are 1/2 price - It's a good way to find out if you like EV's style of food!! During Happy hour our family of 3 can have a couple of beers and get full for under $50. That's pretty amazing considering the quality of the food and service."

"My husband and I weren't familiar with the tapas concept, so we weren't sure how much we could order. I think we may have ordered too much--pig ear salad, marrow bones, brussel sprouts and pancetta, sausage fried rice, steak (not the ribeye) and poblano mac & cheese. It was all good stuff! Service was a bit slower than I liked--our reservation was for 6 p.m. and we barely made it to our show at 7:30. Our waiter was very nice and helpful. The music, though, was WAY too loud--more of a club atmosphere than a nice restaurant. I had a hard time hearing the waiter."

"This is a really fun tapas bar with a great atmosphere and terrific service. The menu is very interesting with lots of choices. I really enjoyed the carrots, shrimp, wild boar and the hummus. They have a great wine list too."

"We went to Extra Virgin to celebrate my friend's birthday and had a difficult time choosing what to order so we decided to order a couple of dishes from several menu sections to share tapas-style. The hummus was a bit soupy but tasted delicious, the french onion soup was clearly made completely from scratch though the cheese top on mine was burned in a few areas. We also ordered a pork-belly wrapped cheese with fresh greens in a balsalmic dressing, fresh ceviche mussels, poblano mac 'n' cheese, and ended with baklava. The baklava was made with brown sugar and honey so was very sweet. The wait staff is very attentive and we had a great time - will definitely go back! The website says you can walk in but I highly recommend reservations."

"I recently had lunch at Extra Virgin with an old friend. We ordered a couple of dishes each and then shared. I especially enjoyed the beef tongue. it was prepared in a way that didn't mask the mineral notes while allowing the meat to absorb the sauce which provided just a hint of sweetness."
