    From the moment we arrived the host was welcoming and acknowledged my wife and said Happy Birthday. Our server, Kyle was knowledgeable about the menu, brought us complimentary sparkling wine as a birthday surprise! The manager , Izzy spent a great deal of time with us sharing about their outstanding bourbon selection and gave us a personal tour of the floating bourbon room. One of the best dining experiences we have ever had!

    I've been to Virtue a number of times and I always have a good experience. This time, the appetizers were a miss, but the mains were a hit. For appetizers, we had the chicken gizzard which were cold and the sauce was greasy and just not good. We also had the fried green tomatoes, which were ok, they just lacked season. However, the pork steak which is relatively new was amazing. The fish and grits, mac and cheese and greens were amazing. And, the Cornbread as per usual was to die for.

    My friend and I went for a 4 course dinner narrated by an amazing author sharing stories about his time at the White House. You can tell there was a lot of care taken in each element of our meal. Definitely would recommend.
