★★★★☆ 4.0 Michelle Hebert · Mar 2026

Very busy Atmosphere, not really intimate oriented. However very clean, elegant yet rustic Atmosphere, very friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt service. Food was Absolutely Scrumptious A+ We went on Restaurant week and the 3 Course Meal Selections were Very Affordable, Delicious Choices and such a great way to acquaint Patrons to a new Restaurant ! 👍 Definitely would Recommend.

I've been here a few times. The food has been good and so has the service with the possible exception of how long I have had to wait for food some nights. Be aware that the rice and beans with the tacos are bbq baked beans which I find odd, but still tasted fine. The fish tacos are salmon instead of cod or haddock, and they were good. Be aware there is a 4% surcharge if you pay with a card, which is mentioned on the menu. Someone else complained about not getting happy hour pricing, but everything I've seen makes it clear it's only at the bar and high tops.

I had Mojo Chicken thighs and my husband had Chicken Caprese. I thought food was just okay, little blunt and not so flavorful but my husband loved his and mine, so my opinion is really personal preference I would say. This is a big restaurant so maybe you can just walk in on Friday Saturday for dinner to take a table. Update on May 22 2025 The menu changed and they added more interesting. We had pasta, chicken salad cups, and croquettes. They were all good 👍 I upgraded from 4 stars to 5 stars.

10 out of 10 highly recommend!! My husband and I dined at Vice & Virtue on our 1 year anniversary trip through New York. The meal was phenomenal! Hannah, our waitress was so kind and helpful. It truly was a perfect dining experience.

Came here on a Saturday night. I ordered one the weekend specials which was half a Smoked chicken, mashed potatoes, baked beans and a jalapeño biscuit. The chicken was nice and flavorful, definitely got the smokey flavor and wasn’t dry at all. Mashed potatoes were nice and the baked beans good but wish I knew there was bacon in them as I don’t eat bacon and had to pick it out. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Only weird thing was felt like everyone was seated in a back room which was full, but when we left the rest of the place was pretty empty. I would recommend and plan on coming back!
