Feel a need to often review just to reinforce how wonderful
Feel a need to often review just to reinforce how wonderful this restaurant is. Short rib, gumbo, greens, and corn bread were money and delicious. Service with Brennan was spot on, warm, and accommodating. If you are close, it is a can't miss

From the inspiring window messages to the warm, welcoming staff, everything about Virtue felt soulful and intentional. The collards & smoked turkey were perfection, the gumbo rich and comforting, and my strip steak was cooked flawlessly. Pair

Read a lot about this place before coming to Chicago, so had to try it out! Food - 4.5/5 Cornbread - 4/5 - This was really good and the butter was so tasty, however, I think there's a bit too much. It would be better with maybe like a tablesp

The only complaint i have was the seating arrangement.
We really wanted a smaller table but everything else was delicious and our server was excellent.
Great service and accommodating to my friend's gluten
Great service and accommodating to my friend's gluten allergy. The food was delicious and everything was plated with thoughtfulness. The decor reminds me of being back home in the south while honoring Chicago and the diaspora.
Just left the restaurant and here was my experience.
.. We finished some errands early and showed up just under one hour before our reservation time. The two hostess, a female and male (9/18/25 evening shift female had short hair and male had long dreads) kept kind of feeding off each other when we ask
This place is well loved and there's a reason why.
Servers were hugging their regulars, and it was such a homey environment. Reminded me of my favorite restaurants in Harlem. Owner and team takes it beyond just food - you're here for an experience. Started with the drinks which were so fresh an

Virtue is a true culinary experience. The menu focuses on southern cuisine. Everything was excellent. The biscuits were delicious and cooked to perfection. The fish was very delicate and the accompanying sauces were perfect. Desert of chocolate cake
Food, service and ambiance are all good.
We truly enjoy enjoyed the food! The catfish was a perfect fry and very juicy still.
Incredible food and service.
Cool ambiance. Michelin star level cooking without the pretentiousness at a moderate price.

Dinner Celebration
We enjoyed every dish. Our starters included the fried green tomatoes and biscuits. The ribeye and fish and grits dishes were popular choices. We added on greens, mac and cheese, and the cornbread.
A fraud
This place claims to uphold values like tolerance and respect, but my experience was the opposite. I witnessed discriminatory behavior based on ethnicity, and the treatment of clients was dismissive and disrespectful. On top of that, the prices are u

Another good southern restaurant heard from
Is it my imagination or are there more restaurants with a southern accent finding their way to Chicago? Like barbecue restaurants. And Asian restaurants. While visiting the Hyde Park community, I sampled the Louisiana-like cuisine at Virtue Restauran
A warm southern embrace in Hyde Park
The Southern American flavors were a treat—heritage techniques brought both familiar and innovative dishes to life. While the service was unpretentious and thoughtful, a few dishes felt slightly uneven in execution. Still, the overall experience wa

Top notch returant located in the Southside of Chicago. An excellent menu and dazzling ambiance provide the perfect venue for a solo or romantic outing. Try the biscuits!
So amazing!
Amazing!! Some of the best food we have ever had! I can't recommend this place enough. Do yourself a favor, eat here, go hungry, and order some of everything to share.

Went to virtue had a reservation for 6pm walked in early at 5:11 pm. The place had plenty of seating in both sides. Was told we had to wait 45 mins to seat at the bar. Greeter was very rude.
Went to Virtue, when I was last in Chicago.
What can I say, but wow. It lives up to every aspect of the hype. The food was delicious and my server Henry was brilliant. I was seated at a beautiful table. It was all really wonderful.

Some friends and I recently went and the food was delicious, the service was A1, and the ambiance was our kind of style. I would absolutely recommend this place. Can't wait to return.
This was a true gourmet treat with many Southern flavors
This was a true gourmet treat with many Southern flavors exquisitely prepared. The waiter was attentive but not hovering and gave good explanations of dishes and wines. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Virtue made my past birthday really special.
The place has high class southern food. I was really impressed by the gumbo, but every dish my girlfriend or I tried was excellent. Be warned, you will need to get a reservation in advance! The ambiance is dimly lit and it's a really nice atmosphere

Food is incredible and service is well trained, attentive, and very helpful. Greens are a can't miss, corn bread phenomenal, and gumbo is at the very top of any I have ever had.

Seriously great on every level.
Joe, the server brought us great foods which he thought we would love. We insisted on the gizzards and in addition to that he brought us cornbread, collard greens, short rib, scallops, and for dessert , banana pudding. I can't wait to go back.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Virtue Restaurant Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Virtue Restaurant Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Virtue Restaurant Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Virtue Restaurant Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Virtue Restaurant Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
