    Service was great with Antonio. But the food was salty. First time I received food that was overly seasoned. I could not finish my food. The lighting was ok a bit dark over at the high table seating so reading the menus had to use your phone light. I would go again hopefully receive food with the proper seasoning of salt.

    It was our second time here and the food and service were great. I rated low on ambience only because we had our dog with us so unfortunately had to sit outside in the rain (under an umbrella) so I didn’t really see the inside. This was not the restaurant’s fault at all. They would have of course given us an indoor table if we didn’t have our dog. We weren’t the only ones. There were three or four other tables outside on the patio with dogs. I actually felt bad for the servers. The patio was actually very nice and would be lovely in nice weather. So, my only advice is that this restaurant is extremely dog friendly (they even have a separate menu for dogs), but be sure to check the weather report before bringing your dog! LOL. All in all, I highly recommend!

    First time here and my husband and I really enjoyed it. We sat outside, and the weather was perfect today. We had the shrimp and grits and the salmon on a bed of quinoa. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared wonderfully I highly recommend if you haven’t been here yet.

    Our table was freezing cold and we had to move twice. The food was okay. Service was slow. Don’t order tacos here. Too many better options in Old Town - we won’t be back.

    This place is very close to my home in Alexandria, VA. My wife and I dined here for lunch on 5/24/2023 for our wedding anniversary. We made reservation and arrived early. I mentioned the anniversary part when making the reservation so I thought maybe I would get a slightly better table or service. They initially sat us down at an outdoor table in the sunlight which we were okay with at first, but after 20 minutes an no waiter that was unacceptable. There were several people seated after us and their respective waiters took their orders. I was beginning to think that we were being overlooked because I was Asian. The people that were seated after us and had their orders taken were white. I informed them of the issue and we were then moved to a shaded table and the service was much better. The adjustment made our experience more memorable in a good way. The food was very good. I had the Australian lamb chops served with mash potatoes and asparagus. The lamb chops were tends and juicy and flavorful. My wife had the chicken parmigiana sandwich. My wife is a somewhat picky eater, but she raved the about the chicken parmigiana. I had a taste and I thought it was very good as well. The portion was quite large. Half would have been enough for lunch. We took the other half to go. The waitress that ended up serving us was great as well. I would recommend making reservations. They don't give an option to make reservations for outdoor seating, but highly recommend a table outside when the weather is nice. Make sure to ask for a shaded table. The inside of the restaurant was nearly empty. It had a very nice décor however. Though we didn't bring our dog, they allow dogs on the patio which I thought was very nice. It's a nice option if we decide to bring our Yorkie next time. Except for the first 20 minutes, our experience was an overall good experience.

    Pros: Great location, staff accommodated our request for an outdoor table, good menu selection, good food & drinks. Cons: Seriously understaffed. I don’t know if this is typical for this restaurant, but there was only one server serving the entire patio on a Friday at 2:30. Wound up having to leave/eat elsewhere after only drinks and appetizer because our 2 hour parking was going to expire. Sucked because this was supposed to be a special occasion meal. This is not our servers fault, they just desperately need more servers.

    We had a good meal, it wasn’t the best but it was enjoyable. Most places will offer a comp for a special event but our server said this establishment doesn’t give anything away that’s free … so! He did offer a couple of places to try for ice cream & cocktails on King St. and we appreciated it. The style in the restaurant is really cool so if you’re going for drinks & casual food (high end price point) you’ll like it.

    Mother’s Day Brunch was wonderful! Was able to sit outside which was a bonus. Our waitress was outstanding and timed our food courses in accordance to our wishes. As an appetizer we enjoyed the fried calamari, fried green tomatoes, a side of Mac and cheese and the divine orange cranberry muffins with honey butter. Everything was hot and delicious. Due to an abundance of apps we shared the brioche French toast with roasted perfectly potato’s and the eggs Benedict with crab and avocado between 4 people. Such a lovely and filling meal. Have never had a bad meal and look forward to my next visit!

    Crazy disconnect between wait staff and the kitchen. Waitress was fantastic and fun. Ordered a burger sans bun (very few gluten free options). The kitchen sent out a bun without a burger …. Also friend ordered an appetizer as entree, but the kitchen waited til she finished before delivering dinners to the remainder of the table (almost an hour later). Have been a couple of times and always feel let down by the hype.

    Found Virtue on Open Table. Was with a business colleague and we were looking for a fun place with decent food, good cocktails and a unique venue. Ended up on the patio at Virtue on a great night with lots of foot traffic down the alley to the wharf area. Waiter was friendly, effective and knowledgable...made excellent recommendations on food and drinks and added nicely to the experience. Food and drinks were every bit as advertised. Would recommend and go again in a heartbeat!

    I made a reservation more than 24 hours before expecting having a good table. They put me to seat almost inside of the kitchen. Was a date night and I need to alternate sentences with dishes noises looking for the trash can. Food was ok but far to be good. Ordinary menu, nothing special. More bar lounge environment than restaurant. Not coming back.

    My partner and I went here on a Friday night, and the place was bustling, highly recommend reservations. My partner being a vegetarian, we were able to find a couple of veggie app and entree. For the apps, we tried the fried tomatoes, and it was alright. The slices were too thick and had no flavor. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which was really delicious and probably the best dish. We also ordered the cauliflower tacos, which were too oily, over stuffed, and flavors didn’t work well. Overall, the food was decent but can be better given the location and high cost.

    A delicious Sunday brunch --- we tasted off the regular menu and the brunch menu and everything was so good! Isaac was our server and he was awesome! My husband said it was the best Bloody Mary he'd had in years and I had a delicious mocktail. I highly recommend the fish tacos-- and the desserts-- soooo good. Definitely a place to return to.
