   As a proud Chicagoan and frequent patron of Virtue Restaurant in Hyde Park, I can confidently say that this establishment is a true gem that embodies the warmth and richness of Southern hospitality right here in our city. From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in an inviting atmosphere that seamlessly blends modern elegance with classic comfort. The thoughtfully designed interior, adorned with art celebrating Black cultural figures, reflects the vibrant spirit of the community. The culinary experience at Virtue is nothing short of exceptional. Each dish is a testament to Chef Erick Williams’ dedication to honoring traditional Southern flavors while infusing them with contemporary flair. Personal favorites include the succulent short ribs, perfectly seasoned and tender, and the fried green tomatoes that offer a delightful crunch with every bite. The biscuits, served warm with pimento cheese and local honey, are simply irresistible. Bringing out-of-town guests to Virtue has become a cherished tradition. Without fail, they are impressed by the impeccable service and the soulful cuisine that captures the essence of Southern comfort. It’s a place where conversations flow as freely as the thoughtfully curated cocktails, and where every meal feels like a celebration. Virtue’s commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. The restaurant has been honored with the MICHELIN Bib Gourmand in 2024 and James Beard Awards in both 2022 and 2023, accolades that are well-deserved and speak to the consistent quality and passion evident in every aspect of the dining experience. In a city brimming with dining options, Virtue stands out not just for its outstanding food and ambiance, but for its heart. It’s a place that feels like home, where every visit reaffirms why Chicago’s culinary scene is among the best. If you haven’t yet experienced Virtue, I wholeheartedly recommend making a reservation—you’ll leave with a full stomach and a fuller heart

   Everything was spectacular from start to finish, from the drinks (including great non-alcohol options), to the food, to the service. Hoping we get to come back!

Our server, Henry, was attentive and made excellent drink recommendations. The atmosphere was warm and energetic. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try their short ribs.

   We had a lovely time, our food was delicious. My husband wasn’t happy with his portion size and they immediately rectified it with the manager coming over to him personally to make sure he was pleased. The staff was very attentive!

   Everything was amazing as usual! I am glad that this restaurant has remained consistently awesome. It was my daughter’s first visit. She loved it and stated she will definitely be back. She cannot wait for her return visit.
