Phenomenal experience! We were not disappointed.
Service , food , drinks, were all exceptional.
The server took time in helping us select our drinks and dinner , even though the establishment was a full capacity.
He was not rushed.
Started with gumbo and fried green tomatoes followed by Braised short ribs , blackened catfish, collard greens with smoked turkey 🤤 red velvet cake and peach cobbler.
Flavors on all dishes were jaw dropping fantastic- fresh quality ingredients.
Details in presentation of each dish was outstanding.
Just a great vibe !

Love, Love!!!..
this place.
Now being on a diet I had to think about my calorie intake so I ordered the Kale salad and fried green tomatoes as my main course.
DO NOT SLEEP ON THE KALE SALAD.
Omg, it was amazing.
The Italian dressing had a little spice but the candied pecans evened it out.
The fried green tomatoes paired perfectly with the shrimp topping.
I also had the peach tree fizz and it will sneak up on you but it's worth every drop.
I sampled a little corner of the biscuits and its just like grandma's homemade biscuits back in the day.
I highly recommend you reserve a table ahead of time as the place is very busy and wait time can be hours even for the bar section.
Enjoy!!

I wish I could give Virtue 6-stars. What an amazing dining experience.
Our waiter, Joe, was not only knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. For food, we had the Fried Green Tomatoes, Kale Salad, Cornbread, Red Fish and Grits, Short Rib, and Mac N Cheese.
We finished with the Peanut Butter Pie and Banana Pudding. Yes, it was a ton of food.
But treat yourself at Virtue.
Easy Top 5 dining experience in Chicago.
