    This restaurant has exploded on both the local and national scene since opening last year. And lucky for brunch lovers, Chef Gio Osso serves brunch at Virtu from 10am to 2pm daily

    Possibly the best Octopus I've ever had. Everything was delicious, we had the scallops and duck. Both were amazing!!

    Get the pulpo (octopus), asparagus with duck egg and truffle oil, and the lemon citrus salad for appetizers. All really good food and innovative cocktails

    The service was incredible. The cocktails can’t be beat. Rhône and Rye every time. Ask about the amaro tasting. Food is over rated though and a bit much for what it is.

    The appetizer of grilled octopus with chickpeas comes on a platter streaked with chili butter; the octopus manages to have both char and tenderness. Read more

    The Let the Beet Drop combines salted beet syrup with Calabrian chili-infused aquavit, mezcal and lime juice, and was created to go with the octopus. Read more

    Tartare, burrata, squid ink linguine 👍🏼. Don't bring a rowdy bachelorette party of 15 here--it'll ruin the night of guests trying to have a quiet/romantic dinner. 😒

    They have brunch everyday! Try the crepe with nutella and chantilly cream. Their duck sandwich is delicious!

    Great new spot! Try the Mule Fresco cocktail - Karlsson's Gold Vodka, rosemary, lavender honey, lime, ginger beer, and rosemary smoke

    I really wanted to love it, but the Duck Confit Benedict was such a disappointment. The meat was not tender, there was almost no foie gras hollandaise, and the dish was stone cold. :( service was fine

    Didn't really like the octupus. Texture was off . Classic crepe was excellent.
