Editorial Reviews from the web
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...

While we still raise an eyebrow at this restaurant’s name (why name a hipster haunt after a bossy woman?) we’re mostly just glad to see that the ambitious cuisine isn't secondary to the glitzy, much-hyped social scene. Noteworthy Asian-inspired dishes continue to issue forth from the sushi bar and the kitchen, but most of the patrons choose to drink, flirt and mingle. Look for stone steak...

It was just that stupid waiter. At least he gave my husband and I something to laugh about for...

I was introduced to Viragos by a very dear friend of mine and I have been a fan since my first visit 3 years ago! Everyone that I have taken with me loves it as well. I go for the atmosphere and of course the SUSHI! My favorite roll is the YUM YUM roll, but last Wednesday I discovered another one that is AWESOME! You must have the Rising Sun, I know it is $20 for 6 pieces but it was money...
