    In a city full of amazing food, Virtue has to be right at the top. We enjoyed an amazing meal with both ā€œlarge rationsā€ (short rib, half chicken, blackened catfish, and fish & grits) and smaller shared dishes (green tomatoes, biscuits & pimento, collard greens, mac & cheese, and honey cornbread). It was so fun to each have an entree and share everything else. Every dish was passionately crafted, full of flavor, and thoughtfully served. We absolutely loved everything we ate. A truly memorable meal and I canā€™t wait to come back.

    Exceptional Southern Cuisine with Unmatched Flavor & Hospitality in Hyde Park ā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļø Located in Hyde Park, Virtue is a standout Southern restaurant that offers an unforgettable dining experience, blending incredible flavors with warm hospitality. From the moment you walk in, itā€™s clear that this is a place where people truly care about the food, the service, and the atmosphere. Every detail is thoughtfully curated to create an experience that feels both personal and exceptional. The menu features Southern staples with a elevated fine dining twist, and the quality of the ingredients shines through in every bite. Each dish is full of deep, layered flavorsā€”nothing is bland or predictable. The cornbread alone is worth the visit, but truly, thereā€™s no wrong choice here. Virtue brings Southern food to life in a way thatā€™s both familiar and exciting, and the attention to detail is evident in every dish. What makes Virtue even more special is the sense of pride and history embedded in its offerings. From the quotes along the windows to the dedication to Black excellence, itā€™s a restaurant that doesnā€™t just serve food; it shares a story. The service is unpretentious, timely, and genuinely kind, making the entire dining experience feel effortless. Whether youā€™re a local or a visitor on a food tour of Chicago, Virtue is a must-visit. Itā€™s a place where the food, the service, and the ambiance all come together to create something truly memorable. Iā€™ll be thinking about this meal for a long time, and I canā€™t recommend it enough.

    Our group had an amazing experience. We all ordered something different from the short ribs, to the blackened catfish, 1/2 chicken, gumbo and the grits. All of the food was delicious. The flavor and seasoning was spot on with every dish. Our party of 8 enjoyed everything. All of the sides were excellent as well. We had brussel sprouts, creamed spinach, Mac and cheese, potatoes, and cornbread. Of course we didn't stop there. Our desert was just as fabulous. Our group tried the red velvet cake , peach cobbler and banana pudding. Aside from the food being amazing, our server Raj ( spelling?) was top notch. She was so kind, experienced and knowledgeable with our group considering it was our first time here. Price- expensive $$$ Worth it- absolutely, you get what you pay for and Virtue was 1st class all the way. Logistics - for a large group , you need to make a reservation on line and leave a deposit, but it will count towards the bill. Paid metered street parking.
