   This was our visit to Virgil’s. We had a reservation for 6 people. My rating is based on details that matter to me when dining out e.g. sticky & worn menus, smudgy glasses, etc. About the food - presentation was good, food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t necessarily anything we would return for. Ambience was good, music was on point though. Overall Virgil’s fell a little short for my preference.

   What a fantastic experience we had at Virgil’s…never had the honor of trying gullah cuisine until now…goodness it was good. 👍 My partner and I elected to order a series of starters rather than a dinner…it clearly gave us a wide selection of their cuisine. So, a sampler platter, fried oysters (orgasmic!), okra gumbo and collard greens came to us piping hot. Plenty of food for two. Gotta say that everything was over the top good…even the collard greens…although historically not my cuppa tea…were great! Oh, their cocktails were to die for…try the Yella Boi…fantastic. Service was wonderful too…kudos to Montel our server.👍 This is authentic soul food in an authentic setting. Highly recommend for sure!

   So freaking good! Had the "Plattuh" with catfish. Next time I'll try the flounder. They forgot about me for awhile, but well worth it!

   The servers were very nice. The music and the atmosphere were good. I expected the food to be much better. The best part of the food for me was the chicken and cornbread. The sweet potatoes were not completely cooked, the greens were salty, the macaroni and cheese was overcooked. The macaroni look so bad that our server didn’t was to serve it. Some of my party complained, but I was just grateful that we were together celebrating my birthday. I think they were short handed. We didn’t have to wait long. I will try again.

   The server we had was pleasant and accommodating. The food was good,but could have been better only because it came out luke warm. I got the salmon dish. The flavor was there but it was luke warm. I enjoy the bussin muffins.

   The brunch menu is just the lunch menu with some eggs on the side. Pork chop was good. Fried chicken was good. But not a brunch place. Server was inattentive despite the place being empty.

    Our server, Patrick, was outstanding! The rooftop was the better choice!
