Editorial Review for Virago – by Jonathan Flax
In Short
The ultra-trendy Virago is part sushi bar, part late-night drink destination and part upscale restaurant. The middle room, with its cozy S-shaped bar, is a see-and-be-seen locale; the dark-blue walls and nouveau lighting in the rear dining room lend plenty of atmosphere. Seafood reigns supreme among the entrees, featuring the always-in-demand honey-banana grouper, the sesame-seared mahi mahi with sweet potatoes and tropical fruit salsa, and the seared scallops served over crab.

My friends and I were just discussing Virago today. I absolutely am addicted to their sushi...in fact last summer- I was there almost every monday night for half priced sushi monday. One would think that being a loyal patron who ordered massive quantities of sushi- the wait staff would be polite and courteous. This was not the case. It is not at all wheelchair accessible and no effort was made to accomodate my wheelchair- when I asked if I could stash it some place so I would not be hanging out in the aisles- the hostesses acted like it was an atrocious request and was somehow cluttering the pretentious flair of their lounge. However- their food and martinis and delicious. Overpriced- but delicious.

I have to agree with the other bad reviews. This place gives a new meaning to "bad service". The wait staff and manager are also very rude. The food was ok at best. The atmosphere was pretentious and very uncomfortable. Matter of fact, my wife had spilled a $14.00 martini after taking one sip and they would not comp the drink. After speaking with the manager he told me it was their "policy" and there was nothing he could do. That's messed up. Anyway, I wouldn't reccomend this place to anyone. Go to Ru Sans, Sams or Ichiban.
Pros: I don't see any pros, you gotta have the whole package when paying those prices.
Cons: Terrible service!!!!
