   We were there for a Bridal Brunch. We were practically the only guests there at 1pm. The food was good, the drinks were good... there were items that the didn't have or ran out of... a moonshine for a signature cocktail they offered, chocolate croissants and all desserts.

   Great food and cocktails! Friendly service. Initially were seated at a very wobbly table. We were reseated at another nearby table where we watched another couple seated at the wobbly table get drenched when an entire glad of water spilled. The staff did eventually fix the table after that, but it was a shame to watch a preventable and predictable event occur because the issue wasn't immediately addressed

   Wonderful dinner. Beet dip with fried pita was amazing; as was the “lamb meatball”, finished with pistachio ice cream and biscotti. Would recommend everything. Service was impeccable. Atmosphere was whimsical. We are planning on coming back!

   The ambience and LOVE ❤️ sign was perfect for our Galentine's celebration and photo opp. The cocktails were pretty and tasty. The small plates ...olives, chicken wings...THE BEST Take on Brussel sprouts EVER. Last but not l east the spanakopta dip with the fresh bread omg. Our service staffer was sweet, knowledgeable and an overall pleasure.

   The service was lovely and the area had a definitive aesthetic that worked. However, even though the food was cooked well, there was zero seasoning in any of the dishes we had. The spanikopita lacked any pepper salt or garlic, and the same went for both the lamb dish and ricotta gnudi. Was really hopeful and drinks started off well, but no flavor in the dishes.

    We went there for date night and had no idea that it was part of the Quirk hotel, so we ended up driving in circles for a while. It’s a nice ambiance. It’s definitely a high end lobby bar. The menu was over the top for our liking, but I am sure perfect for others. We ordered the risotto, mussels, and roasted olives. Although, I didn’t care for the risotto, it tasted like they put lime juice in it; my husband enjoyed it.

    Yummy food and drinks. Good service. Wait for drinks reasonable for busy bar on a Saturday night. Loved the brussel sprouts, the lamb dish and gnudi pasta dish. Would definitely come again. Would skin the cauliflower steak next time - was a tad undercooked.

    Started with their happy hour but decided to stay for dinner. The space has a grand feeling with a cheeky touch projecting old movies on the ceiling. We opted to share everything, which seemed the best approach, in order to try as many items as possible. Couldn’t name a standout, because everything was very good. There was an oversized Bavarian-style pretzel during the happy hour. That definitely stood out. Will be back!

    Great find! Friendly staff and a good variety of Mediterranean shareable plates. Only thing to note is that food comes out as it is prepared, so some items are very quick, and some may take a bit longer. Our group enjoyed this style, as we paired our dishes with some fun wine selections as well.

    Made reservations for Christmas night as myself and friend worked all day in the emergency department. Took 30 minutes to get our drinks (I had to ask hostess for drinks) because apparently only one wait staff. They ran out of 3 of the 4 main courses. So what limited options we had were very salty. Overall very disappointed with Christmas night. I’d have preferred they cancelled the reservation earlier so we could have found some place else.

    I rarely write reviews, but this experience required it. Service was so bad that it was comedic. 15 minutes for server to initially come by our table. Menu selection limited and the cod entre had maybe 2 ounces of fish. We got our appetizer after our meals when we reminded the server. Had been ready to serve for 45 minutes. Don't waste you time or money on this place. Overpriced mediocre food with terrible service./

    A terrible experience. We arrived at 6pm. After about 10 minutes a waiter showed up. Took drink and appetizer order. The drinks came promptly. The appetizer took over an hour. During that time the waiter never came by to explain or apologize. As soon as the appetizer came we got the check and left. Our plan was to have dinner but no telling how long that would have taken.

    We were here for dinner on Christmas. The restaurant is beautiful and the decorations were understated and lovely. Unfortunately the menu that was online was not available and only the appetizers were available. They were delicious and beautifully presented but we left still hungry after ordering a cheese platter, two “dinner-like” plates and the broiled Brussel sprouts.

    The decor was lovely. However, the pacing and service was some of the worst I have ever experienced. One entree came to table and the next two came out 9 minutes later. The final entree was another 7 minutes behind. As we did not want to eat cold entrees, we ended up waiting as long as possible, and then gave up each eating our lukewarm dinners in shifts. Frankly, the restaurant should have been embarrassed and provided some form of compensation on a 250.00 bill. Instead there was nary a mention of the abysmal service. Additionally, the entrees of the mushroom, ricotta gundi were very disappointing and I suggest removing that from your offerings. We tipped 20% as it was Christmas Eve and we have compassion for the servers working that evening. But as an establishment that presents as an upscale choice, the evening was a dismal failure.

    Upon arriving, we felt the wonderful vibe of Quirk…we were disappointed that the hostess took ten minutes to seat us…when she finally finished her conversation at the bar, she came over and said…”excuse me”….no “welcome to Quirk” or how can I help you…she said she needed to get back behind the hostess’ station. I told her we had reservations at 11:15 for brunch…she then seated us. After that point, the service was efficient…the hot chicken sandwich was out of this world good…great holiday atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit!!!!

    6pm on a Saturday night during holiday season and place was weirdly empty when we arrived. Maybe because others have been having experiences like ours. Approached the hostess stand. She was fairly curt from the get go, as if we were in Chelsea, not RVA. As she sat us I commented on the very loud industrial noise coming from somewhere in the lobby. She denied hearing it. You couldn’t not hear it. We gave it a few minutes to see if it would abate, but it didn’t. So we got up and left, explaining to the hostess there was no way we could sit through a meal in light of the noise. She couldn’t have cared less. In fact, if anything, she seemed mildly pleased at our poor experience and departure. I wish the Quirk luck with their apparent “we think we’re better than the customer” approach to hospitality. This isn’t NYC. A shame, it’s such an architecturally neat space. Bottom line: save yourself the unpleasantness and head to Bar Solita across the street, where we had a fabulous experience.

    For the overall price--I think it was $65--expected higher quality food and presentation. Some of the food was served cold. The Family Style method of service is OK. Dessert was very poor--clearly not high quality purchased-- from 3rd party--pie--and the serving was small. Ambience and cocktails were good.
