Always a fan and love love love Virtue! I had made a reservation and after sitting at the table for 45 minutes it was suggested we were on a potential time crunch as folks would be coming and then there was a wait list. We weren’t rushed per se it was just a suggestion…then after the surge we were left to hang - that’s why I made a reservation a day in advance and at least expect good to hang out for 2 hours without issue :)

Nice setting and tasty food. The service was intrusive. Multiple people asked, literally every two minutes, if we were ready to order … six times in the first ten minutes after arrival. We were rushed through the meal, and then the manager, who never stopped by to ask about the meal, informed us that we could continue our meal at the bar. Mind you, we had a reservation, and were on time. I was with an elderly friend who needed assistance. It was uncomfortable and unwelcoming.
