    The service was very good the staff were very friendly and helpful. I truly believe the other dishes offered looked very good and very good choices. But we had the crab cakes and they were not very good which was disappointing to say the least. They had no clumps of crab at all; it was most if not all shredded crab like out of a can and mostly bread. They were two large pieces but one done well it would have been better to have one done well. For $28 a dish not worth it at all; we did not complain because our server was so nice that we didn’t want to make him feel bad. I would definitely go there again for brunch or lunch and try other dishes, but just stay away from the crab cakes.

    I mentioned on OpenTable that it was my birthday. When they arrived, they had a birthday card waiting for me signed by the entire team working. That was soooo sweet. Our server was amazing and knowledgeable about the menu. Our drinks were delicious and so was our food! Thank you for an amazing birthday brunch!

    One of those meals where it actually met expectations! We had a wonderful brunch with two finicky teenagers, and everyone cleaned their plates. Our server was perfect. Right in the shopping district. Highly recommend.

    While I usually like Virginias, this visit is a mixed review. Although I made a reservation in which I noted we were bringing a visitor, we were seated in the back, which was not ideal because we could not see anything. Three of us chose different meals. The meatloaf and shrimp & grits were delicious, the angel hair with salmon was ok. They salmon was overcooked and the whole thing was dry, not enough oil or herbs. So this is a mixed review.

    The fried tomatoes tasted like the kard or the flour was old. The shrimp and grits was good.
