It's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big
That should be small
Who can tell what cocktail spirits, they'll be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this restaurant
Only to be told
I can see, I can eat
Bo Bites will we be
And nothing's gonna change they way I Yelp
Cause I can always take and never give
And now that things are serving for the best, see,
Whoa! It's a new craft we're dining in
And I just can see that half of us immersed in drinks
Is all we have to give these stars
Foodies made of Virtu Honest Craftery
now always seem to, be governed by this love I have
For eating, drinking, of new ingredients
Oh now there is no bounds for we all love restaurants
Virtu is was voted best new restaurant by Esquire earlier this year and one thing we know these days is we can trust the news! Ummmm well, let's not jump the gun just yet and decide for ourselves.
I came here with a friend for restaurant week. I ordered a drink and requested the bartender make it spicy since that's my new thing and he was happy to oblige. Needless to say, I'm always appreciative of good service! We began with appetizers; the Burrata and Polenta Board. I took a bite of the Polenta Board my mate ordered and boy was it creamy and cheesy at the same time. The braised pork atop gave it some extra sweet texture. My Burrata was the similar I would say; creamy mozzarella ball cheese warm to the cut with prosciutto aside while what seems to be a balsamic reduction drizzled over it. Overall an excellent start!
For our entree my mate ordered the Flat Iron Steak while I shot for the Seared Orata. I'm not a big fan of steak in general, but this one in particular was well cooked and seasoned. My star of the night was my Orata; the skin was crispy to every bite and the fish was still moist and tender. The dates provided a hint of sourness and the pesto help with subtle sweetness.
In the end, Virtu definitely delivered to what they sell. Being best new restaurant is a strong title and their food showed it. Service was stellar and a must return for this chap! - Enjoy!
