Jordan MApril 2, 2016Cozy little spot crammed with tables. Excellent steak, crushed potatoes and blue crab chowder. Found the nettle risotto to be a bit soupy but it was otherwise yummy.Upvote4Downvote
JDecember 24, 2015Everything. So impressed. The Duck Rillette, the shrimp, the risotto (that was the highlight) and the five spiced chicken!!! Delicious and beautifully presented. The tunes were also fabulous!!!Upvote4Downvote
Vonatron LSeptember 30, 2015Cute cozy restaurant with great food! Fresh ingredients for their seasonal menus, unique take on traditional dishes. Worth the trek over to Ave C. Risotto was delicious, cocktails a must (obvs)!Upvote1Downvote
Ranu RajkarnikarAugust 29, 2016Food was solid and service was outstanding. Loved the lamb tartare. Everything we ordered was delicious. A nice dinner addition to the EV, great for dates or small groups.Upvote1Downvote
Julia MontiDecember 22, 2015AMAZING. You must go here when you want to splurge on delicious food. The best risotto I've ever had and the burger is exquisite. Great service and atmosphere. Highly recommend it!Upvote2Downvote
Crystal DavisSeptember 16, 2017Try the little gem salad! Has delicious crispy quinoa. Brown sugar bacon, corn beef hash & brioche french toast all amazing as well! You won't be disappointed with their brunch (Saturdays only)

MarcJanuary 4, 2016BurgerWeekly 2015 #7 NYC Burger: Virginia’s Burger: This sucker is nuts with flavor. The succulent short rib/hanger steak blend patty; savory Vidalia onion marmalade; cabot cheddar; and the sturdy bunUpvote2Downvote
- Chelsea RenaudAugust 30, 2015Virginia’s is definitely the most upscale restaurant on the block. The chefs worked at Per Se and a bunch of high end Chicago restaurants, so the cooking is the real deal, but still pretty relaxed.Upvote1Downvote
Danielle HuntJune 27, 2015The roasted romanesco appetizer, duck breast and hanger steak were all excellent. Try to score a seat by the window and you will enjoy one of the most pleasant dining experiences in the east villageUpvoteDownvote
Sam MolterSeptember 29, 2017Cute place in the East Village with large windows that open to the street in the summer. They serve simple, delicious American fare.Upvote1Downvote
AmateurConciergeSeptember 30, 2016Sleeper on Ave C that should be mentioned right up there with tuome and Eddy. Great cocktails to take advantage of their new liquor license. Knock outs: lamb tartare, duck, chicken cavatelliUpvoteDownvote
Majoros KrisztaNovember 11, 2017Charming & cozy atmosphere, magnificent meals, real gastro-adventure (scallop, steak, dessert, wine ...) Perfect choice for a lovely dinner! Highly recommended!UpvoteDownvote- AmberMarch 17, 2016Heavy, rich, yummy burger. Similar to Emily in size and richness. Delicious, but can also sometimes be overwhelming.

Joe ZiemerMay 14, 2015Incredible spot. Try the hangar steak, mashed potatoes and chocolate beet cake. Bottles of wine are priced very well. Definitely worth trying.Upvote1Downvote
Ryan BMarch 25, 2018One of the best burgers in the city. But you can only get it at the bar. Also, whipped ricotta is phenomenalUpvoteDownvote
Delicious new American menu, frequently updated by season. And they just got their liquor license! Awesome cocktailsUpvoteDownvote
Rock RainesSeptember 28, 2019Underrated East village gem. Burger is fantastic and wines/cocktails are for realUpvoteDownvote
- AmateurConciergeJuly 7, 2015Things are still coming together at Virginias but they're showing promise. Squash toast app and Cobbler cocktails were standouts. Duck was too raw.UpvoteDownvote
Nick AndlingerJuly 15, 2015Hanger steak and veggies were great, but the restaurant is still getting things together. Grilled shrimp app was just 4 tiny basic shrimp and stripped bass was way too herby.

Daniel EganMay 10, 2015The desserts are excellent. Try the chocolate beet cake or the honey passionfruit.Upvote2Downvote
Maya BaratzMay 20, 2018The ricotta toast is like French toast with ricotta and it is 👌UpvoteDownvote- Max WendkosNovember 14, 2020Unassuming burger that's quietly one of the best in the city...UpvoteDownvote

Ramon VillaAugust 28, 2015Everythang! Squash toast - ordered a second... scallops...corn risotto (sounds heavy but wasn't) tasteeeeeUpvoteDownvote
Ashley RoseOctober 17, 2015Good was fine, on the more expensive side for the neighborhood. Service was disappointing. They wanted the steak would take 20 min. Well over 30 with no ETA update.UpvoteDownvote
- Valentin GuerinNovember 15, 2015Good food, but the place is a bit cold unfortunately...UpvoteDownvote
