   Hmmm…I’ve given this location several tries but they just can’t seem to get it together. For my 01/18/25 visit: I booked my reservation via Open Table. Outdoor seating was the only option left so I left a VM and sent a message asking more details I.e. is the patio enclosed, do they have heaters, etc.? No response. We decided to give it a try. The hostess was nice. She let me look and feel the balcony before seating us. We sat right in front of a propane heater but it still was a little chilly. We requested they turn on the others but they were either out of gas or didn’t work. They eventually got a second one to work and we were pretty comfortable from there. Our server Marlon was knowledgeable about the menu but was subpar. We ordered bottomless orange juice mimosas, sparkling water and a Coke. 15 min later we received flat water, Coke, the wrong juice for the mimosas. Several minutes later we received 6oz of orange juice. Good thing only one of us was planning to drink the mimosas! We ordered crabmeat deviled eggs, but it took numerous asks to get utensils, then plates, then napkins. The okra soup barely had okra, the salmon was overcooked (I requested medium) and it was smothered with a sauce. My corn was tasty but they were out of several other sides. I ordered a bourbon but unfortunately they were out of Woodford. I ordered a Merlot. It was decent. The server and another gentleman checked on us several times but there were very long periods in-between. One of the ladies went to the restroom and noticed our server having a good ole time inside smoking hookah. Well that explained the lulls… If you decide to give it a try, be sure to make reservations as this two story tight quartered establishment was packed! The female DJ was good. Parking is on the right side of the building. Could use more light but you do get 2 hours for free.

   My group had reservations for 8:30pm but we were not seated until after 10pm. For the inconvenience, the restaurant did offer us a few rounds of shots and hookah. That was appreciated but the service at this location continues to be an issue.

   The food and drinks are delicious. The ambience is really nice. The staff was friendly and consistent. The dj was a whole vibe. My only issue was that I placed a to go order and when I arrived home to open it, my order was wrong. I was so frustrated, but at the same time it was my fault for not checking my bag before leaving. I will definitely visit again.

   Virgils is one of my favorite spots to brunch at with friends and have brought family here from multiple states several times. I enjoy the food options and everything is cooked and seasoned exceptionally well. Also, the service here is top-notch out of the establishments I have been to. I definitely recommend it.

   I got the salmon with rice and corn.. the entire plate was aesthetically pleasing and colorful but BLAND as ever! I tried to make the best of it and added a pinch of seasoning here and there.. tht made all the difference. The music is LOUD as hell!!!!! The waitress had to repeat and speak directly in my ear! Me and my friends were yelling at each other to simple hear. The dining room does not keep heat! The door opens so much and looking at the build, it looks hard to keep heat downstairs…I can’t comment on the upstairs dining room.
