We at lunch outside which was lovely. The service was good. The salmon burger was disappointing....was expecting something more like chunks of salmon but it was ground salmon. Very dry. Only a small amount of sauce came with it - which was tasty. Had to ask for more given how dry the burger was. The roll was nothing special. By... More

We really enjoyed this restaurant. We were seated on the outdoor patio without a wait, our server came by for drink orders almost immediately. The wine selection was great, a nice mix on the choice of appetizers and entrees, and the prices were not too out of reach. The wine was also priced reasonably. We would visit this place again,...

During the Spring, Summer and Fall the outside patio is just a great place to enjoy the city. Service is wonderful, valet parking and menu is good. More

I've been here for lunch and for dinner since it is near my office. The setting, on the west bank of the Genesee River, is beautiful. Outside tables face the city skyline and the Douglass-Anthony Bridge. Bicyclists, dog-walkers and joggers pass by. The menu is reasonably priced and varied, but they're sometimes out of the oddest things. Today, the substituted... More

I've been to Virtu Restaurant a handful of times, and every visit has been excellent. Located in the trendy Corn Hill area. This establishment sits right next to the river, and with the water and city skyline taking center stage, its a lovely place to enjoy good cocktails, food and ambiance. Excellent service tops it all off. Depending upon what... More

We had the pleasure of taking a coworker who was leaving for another opportunity to this establishment for lunch. The decor was cool and the location directly on the water very cool! The manager that seated us seemed somewhat stuffy when we did not have a reservation, yet he was able to seat us immediately? What is up with that?... More

My family and I paid our first visit to this establishment to celebrate my mother's 50 birthday and boy does this place know how to ruin a celebration, nor does the nightmare end after leaving the restaurant. Let me start by saying I made reservation for 13 (only 8 of ended up coming) and was told we'd be seated in... More

Went to Virtu last night, Saturday, April 23rd. All I can say is that they must have sold a ton of Groupons and the business is overwhelming them because the quality and service was terrible compared to the two previous times we have eaten there. First, got there at 6pm and no valet. No parking in the area so had... More
