Customer Reviews

This 2 story place in downtown Alexandria is for sure a go-to favorite for friends and family alike. Went on a Sunday and even though it was packed with the brunch crowd we were able to secure a table after a small shuffle. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The GM on staff that day was awesome. I cannot remember in recent memory this type of personal and friendly service from any restaurant in DMV! The woodsy familiar feel of the place expertly blended with the high quality food from their creative menu. It has a bit of a Ralph Lauren country chic feel even in downtown Alexandria. Well done and for sure will be back for more of Virtue.

Do not go here if you expect to have a conversation... It's very loud downstairs. The wait staff was less than attentive, and the food portions left a lot to be desired. Quality was great, but for the price you should get more food.

My fiancé and I had the most unforgettable experience at Virtue. From the food to the atmosphere, everything was impeccable. The service we received from our server, Elaina, was amazing. We mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary and she did everything possible to make sure our night was one to remember. She recommended some amazing appetizers and entrees which paired nicely with the wine we had requested. Even though you could tell the restaurant was extremely busy we never had to wait for anything. Drinks were always timely and the food was hot and delicious. It was definitely an amazing night and a place we will be recommending to all of our friends and family. A big thank you to Elaina and the rest of the Virtue staff for making this the case.

We cannot wait until our next visit!

Sincerely,

One happy customer

Old town Alexandria. Great interior. Mice range if food choices from wings to duck meatloaf. Feels from farm to table. Very good drinks. High tops tables. Walking distance to the water great view of MGM romantic and great photo ops

This place definitely looks really authentic and fits the name! The food was good! Prices were within the expected range. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Probably would come again if someone else wanted to but if up to me I’d rather try another restaurant in the area.

Went for private dining for a rehearsal dinner Good choice of food and great service. Had gone earlier in the year on my own to try out the food at a lunchtime Food was great then too and I felt really comfortable dining alone there. The second floor is a more quiet option than the lively bar scene 9n the first floor. Nice variety of appetizers, salads, & entrees to accommodate all tastes and diet preferences. Great service, food, and value.

The service my friends and I received when we visited was impeccable. Our server, Samuel, took care of us in the upstairs bar area and even though he was handling (or helping handle) a 12 person party on a packed Saturday night, he still made sure to check on us regularly and was able to give us all accurate separate checks at the end of the evening. On top of that, the food was delicious and the cocktails tasty. Highly recommend.

Update: Not the best experience with the food for lunch today. The salmon burger seemed to be frozen and the crab cake sandwich was a tad fishy. The duck fat fries honestly didn't taste of duck. Really surprised. The place still has a good feel though for drinks, perhaps.

From 2017: One of my favorite places in Old Town. The space is really unique with a warmish warehouse feel of yesteryear. Clad in brick you can see black steel beams inside on both floors. On the top floor they have a "game room" which overlooks the Potomac from the windows. The food is good, but the space makes it better.

Very good pub food. Great location in old town Alexandria with a very nice atmosphere in a well done historic venue. One issue was that the noise level was extra ordinarily high due to two very large (15+) dining groups. The only reason for the 4 stars is the noise level.

Recommendation that the establishment place large groups in separate room to avoid inconveniencing others who want a less chaotic dining experience and to have table conversations at normal levels. The noise level was so bad that the wait staff made several errors in food order because the could not hear correctly.

Highly recommend bringing friends here for a fun night! upstairs scene is super laid back with couches and a long bar. great drinks and bartenders are wonderful to spark conversation with. Appetizers are the best! only reason theres not 5 stars is because the food wasn't as great as the scene itself. Definitely worth a stop in!
