I love the Virgin Hotel brand and it’s a lovely space. But the night we went, the restaurant was fairly vacant so to make up for the emptiness they apparently decided to play classic rock SO loudly the three of us (literally) couldn’t have a reasonable conversation. We asked the server if they could turn it down and the server claimed that they turned down the volume by a quarter, but we couldn’t tell. I get it. The Virgin’s brand is that life is a party and I love their rooftop bar, etc etc. I really wanted to love my dining experience. But this is still a restaurant. And people still want to, you know, communicate. As to the food, it was fine; not great. And expensive for what you get! Crazy. No one loved their food but neither did we dislike it. So we quickly ate and (obviously) skipped dessert. We couldn’t get out of their fast enough. I told the hostess on the way out and she was super kind and wanted to make it up to us somehow but we just left. I’ll stick to the rooftop periodically and skip the dining room. I don’t want to eat in the middle of a loud bar pretending to be otherwise.

We went for a post wedding dinner for seven of us including the bride and groom. We could not have asked for more. From the congratulations card on the table from all the staff to the fantastic service, the team there were truly fantastic. Then the food was excellent as were the drinks. Thank you All.

Recommended by a friend. Beautiful restaurant on the first floor of the virgin hotel. Artsy drinks and very creative dishes. We got the sea bass. Rooftop bar is a great place to end the evening

Restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived and never filled as we were there. We got sat in back corner by bathroom( not most desirable in any situation but as it wasn’t busy not too much traffic). Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and as such wasn’t very attentive. We ordered bottomless mimosas and had a hard time getting refills. Dishes from our first course weren’t cleared to make room for the next. Had a good time because of my girls but not sure it is a place we’ll back to for a meal *have been for drinks before and LOVED IT!!*

The food was very disappointing, and not worth the price. It was a bit noisy. Our waiter was very good, but that is the only positive thing that we can say.

Atrocious. Run don’t go. Cold food. Poor quality food. Did wine paring the service was so bad we had courses where the wine never showed up. They pray on the stupid new money of the south financial district. Have no idea what San Francisco food and dining is all about. $1800 for 4 people, I refused to pay for no wine and dog food. For 1/10 go to Giribaldi, or actually anyplace. I have never in my life been so offended by the service and dog food. The hotel manager came over and put discount coupons on the table. As a consultation. We left everything on the table as we will never ever ever go to such a horrible place in our lifetime. Run. It’s disgusting.
