Best KPortal Reviews
Visited 3/17 for St. Patrick's Day.
Great alternative to the more rowdy Pub atmosphere in the neighboring streets. Food and atmosphere was friendly & warm, with plenty of classic food items and drinks.
From house cocktails to entrees and dessert, everything exceeded expectations.
I got the scotch eggs (my favorite) short ribs entree and flour less cake for dessert. A stellar combo with the warm barn style architecture and tavern style ambiance.
Loved the cheerful and attentive staff who eagerly shared favorite dishes and drink recommendations from the menu.
A must visit for the Old Town Alexandria experience
What a neat venue in the old part of town, on the riverfront. Great food & service. Parking is a bit tricky, but deck around the corner for $15. Good was superb and fast, though I was there early, was filling up quickly by 6. Bourbon selection is phenomenal. They also do a tasting with their own Kentucky Colonel (reservations required), and have 3 private barrel selections.
Reserve a table in advance, you didn't want to miss out on this one!
Excellent place! The decor is cozy and warm; I love that it used to be an old warehouse and the atmosphere is fun and lively. The food was very good with a great whiskey selection. I had the fish tacos & am excited to return to try different dishes.
Quite a nice experience in Oldtown for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The service was prompt and our server was pleasant and attentive.
The food was delicious and portions were sizeable. The only con for me was that it was fairly loud. Not a knock on the restaurant as there isn't much they could do about it, aside from reducing the number of tables. And I understand not doing that as the place is busy and more tables equals more business.
Overall a nice place for lunch.
Virtue is a fun place to come with your friends. It tends to be very noisy as it is it is a building that used to be a warehouse. I enjoy the atmosphere and usually it is a good restaurant to entertain your out of town guests if they are able to handle the noise level. Service can definitely be improved. We felt rushed and our server spent maybe a total of 10 seconds at our table. We were at Virtue for our wedding anniversary and we did not feel special whatsoever even though we clearly stated the special occasion on our reservation. I am taking it off my wedding anniversary list.
The food here is always phenomenal. I love getting the Virtue burger or the fish tacos. But you really can't go wrong with anything you get. I especially like coming on Wednesdays with friends because of their half of wine bottle special. The Chianti Reserva is my absolute favorite.
This place is always a great vibe and I love bringing visitors out of town here. I also think the bar area is a great first date location. The lighting and ambience make it very relaxing for dates.
I also love the history of the building including the recent history. It was once a book and records store! Way before I moved to DC. And according to my best friend who grew up in Alexandria, the back room on the second floor was the "special" adults only materials section of the store.
I have had the opportunity to visit this establishment twice, once for a Friday dinner and more recently, for a Saturday breakfast.
First and foremost, I must acknowledge the staff's excellent energy and professionalism and willingness to see to it that their patrons have a great dining experience. In addition, the establishment decore adds to the dining experience. I scheduled an 8:30 pm reservation on this day and arrived at around 7:15 pm. The receptionist worked to get me a table earlier to free up the reservation, and we had an excellent seat upstairs in the dining room. We ordered the fried Brussels and calamari for starters and ended up getting street tacos for dinner. The descriptions were very appealing, and I went against the waitresses' recommendations, unfortunately. The Brussels were great, and the calamari was tasty while there were a few tough pieces, keeping it far from perfection. I found my shrimp tacos to be rather chewy-tough and would not order it again. However, the great service and signature Old Fashioned that I ordered saved the day, ultimately, and the environment is upbeat, but not agitating.
My next visit was for breakfast. We arrived at about 9:30 am and were seated promptly with a party ahead and another behind us. This time, we sat downstairs near the kitchen in a half booth/table. I could hear the wooden floor boards bending and squeaking overhead which was initially unsettling, but eventually became accostomed. I ordered the country fried steak, and my partner got the breakfast Burrito. The burrito was fabulous with a homemade feel and light seasoning... My country fried steak was a little tough, and the flour gravy was more like a light-sauce, not my preference. The potatoes were exceptional, and I enjoyed the soft yolk egg that was the staple of the salty egg. I would order something different the next time.
The coffee was delicious, and the seasonal beverage, the gingerbread parlor punch, was worth the price. This venue seems to be most consistent when it comes to the drinks while on the pricier side.
I look forward to returning and advise you to do the same. One of the best aspects of the venue is that they offer higher end dishes priced at 30 and above while having dishes in the teens and twenties, so you can mix and match your preferences among food and drinks as it pleases you and your wallet.
We reserved Virtue Feed & Grain’s Clipper Room for a lovely wedding reception. Could not have been more impressed with the quality of food and the fantastic cocktails our guests enjoyed. The Events Manager Emily was very responsive and delivered everything we requested for our reception. Virtue Feed & Grain offers great service, delicious food, and amazing cocktails - can’t recommend them enough!
