This is the first time I went to bar and receive a kinda first class service with the people. They are the best in Raleigh... love you guys. If you need a place to go, pass by to see them

I took my wife out. It was a very fun little place. The food was great. The drinks were great and the staff was very friendly.Parking: The parking garage was very easy to get in and out of. Easy to pay from your phone. Overall, it was a great experience.

Go for the drinks, avoid the food.Visiting from out of town and hotel recommended Virgil’s. The atmosphere was great and the drink was good but the food was bad. Good in concept, poor execution. My flautas were burnt and soggy at the same time. Chips that came with the salsa were incredibly salty.

Great location, cute spot, almost inedible food. Weird sugar on the chips, seriously “off” taste in the watery margarita, and one fish taco tasted rotten. The only things we sort of liked were the green salsa and the guacamole, but didn’t know how to eat either since the chips were sweet. Then the fire alarm went off … bad night.

Place has gone downhill a bit in my opinion. Margaritas were literally not good. Tasted watered down and lacking lime. Their chips are good but sugar and salt on them tastes super weird with salsa. Tacos and carnitas were also very average.We sat near the back of the restaurant and were still cold. Felt like they had no heat running in the building.All in all, not a great experience.

Such a fun place to go. Bring back the gnocchi! The food was good. The drinks are better.

Food and Cocktails were great! It's a small restaurant so you can definitely see that translated through the carefully crafted food. My boyfriend and I both ordered the tacos al pastor and we had a mojito and whiskey sour. Everything tasted great, but the ambiance of the restaurant wasn't ideal for an intimate dinner date. It was dark and loud. Usually the darkness wouldn't bother me, but it made it so I couldn't take pictures of the beautiful cocktails and food in front of me.

The service was terrible. The margaritas are to be laughed at for being so tiny, not yummy and over priced. The salsa is gross and they charge you $7 for chips and salsa...I don't think the dumb a$$ owner realizes what a good Mexican restaurant is, and I hate to be the one to break it to him, but yours ain't it. It was an absolutely terrible dining experience. Overall, it gets a flat 0 but I HAVE to give it at least 1 star...
All in all great date night, drinks are great, you have 3 and you are drunk lol. Food was great and very tasty! BUT AS GOOD AS THE CHIPS ARE. WE NEED NACHOS ON THE MENU ASAP!
Pretty good bar food and drinks. Virgil's is like a pregame date place. They offer small plates that are pretty good and appetizing.

Nothing to rave about at this place honestly. Originally went with a group of friends and my child to the Merchant which is upstairs before 8pm but they said they are 21+ only all day. But Virgil's said we could eat there so we did just to pass time while the rest of the friends went upstairs to eat & drink and use their Offline codes. But we ended up ordering the Chicken Tinga & Al Pastor tacos, the queso and the cilantro lime rice. Nothing had a memorable flavor to it. My child liked the chicken tinga though and he's a pretty harsh, miniature critic.

I went to Virgils to have a birthday day dinner. We waited 15 minutes for the waiter after asking other servers they finally found him. I ordered tacos and substituted the pork for chicken. I was given a taco that I didn’t even order. Thank goodness I wasn’t allergic. The waiter told me the kitchen couldn’t make what I wanted. If that was the case why didn’t the server come back and ask me to order something else instead of giving me what he wanted to give me. Or just fess up say you put the wrong order in and give me the option to order something else instead, The manger brushed it off as if I just didn’t want it… sorry sir but it wasn’t what I ordered. This will be last time going to Virgils
