| - Virtu is a small American restaurant that offers an intimate dining experience. The interior seats around twenty people. Let's see what the fire marshal says. I came with colleagues, but it felt like I should have brought a date.
Virtu has an semi-open kitchen (no idea if that's official terminology). I guess that doesn't tell you much (Waffle House has a very open kitchen, right?), but given how pricey Virtu is, you can begin to imagine the chef, server, patron dynamic.
The kale salad came with too much dressing. I hate to put it this way, but if you look at the picture, you'll see that the dressing resembled your seven year old nephew applying chocolate syrup to a bowl of ice cream.
The menu didn't have any vegetarian entrees, but the chef was willing to whip up a quinoa and Brussels sprout dish. It was artfully presented, and had hints of pickled vegetables that worked surprisingly well. If I return, I'll have to show them the picture and let them know they have a winner.
I'd return for a special occasion or if invited. In the meantime, I'll make sure "allows you to regularly eat at classy establishments without feeling uncomfortable social pressure" falls on the pro side of the pro-con list of having a significant other.
