Virtue Restaurant is a Southern gem nestled in the Polsky Exchange. ๐Ÿฅณ The cozy, trendy vibe sets the stage for an unforgettable culinary adventure!

We started with the fried green tomatoes and the kale salad - both bursting with flavor. The standout was the tender short rib over creamed spinach that literally melted in my mouth! ๐Ÿ˜ Don't skip the dessert; the peanut butter pie is to die for!

With generous portions and quality ingredients, this is a must-visit, but make sure to book a reservation - this place fills up fast! ๐ŸŒŸ What are you waiting for?

I recently dined at Virtue and was genuinely impressed! The fried green tomatoes and gumbo were a perfect start, but the highlight was definitely the tender short rib over creamed spinach. Don't skip dessert - the peanut butter pie was decadently delicious! The cozy ambiance and attentive service made my experience even better. Be sure to make a reservation; this place fills up fast! Can't wait to return! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ
