Cute place, nice location, friendly staff. Even on a slow night the food was good. It’s Seattle prices - not great.

This place is a Seattle classic. Whenever I have out of town visitors, I take them to the Virginia Inn. Food, drinks, and service are reliably consistent.

I had high hopes going here. I booked ahead online. As part of the reservation, it asked if there was a notable occasion of some sort. I thought this was a nice touch. We were flying in from out of town to watch a Seahawks game for my son's birthday, and I went ahead and mentioned that.
When we got to the restaurant, it was probably about half full on a Saturday night. That probably should have been my first clue. After" locating" our reservation, we were immediately placed adjacent to the front door on a chilly evening, despite the fact that many tables in the interior remained empty. I had the fish and chips, which was passable, but I got about half the fries on my plate that should have been there - it was clearly not carefully prepared. The waitress was rather inattentive and was not knowledgeable about the beer selection whatsoever.
We ate, she dropped the tab, I paid and we left. No mention of anything more. Barely a thanks.

We will not be back. There are too many good options in the city to give the Virginia Inn my business again. Disappointed.

I went on a Sunday, and no reservation is needed. The place is very cozy, and the service is great; everyone was kind to us.

I ordered fish and chips, and my husband had salmon and clam chowder. The chowder was very tasty, but in my fish and chips, the fish was so overcooked that it was dry. Still, I was able to fix it with a lot of lemon and sauce. Overall, everything was very good, and I would go back.

They had special dishes from the chef.
You can pay with Google Pay.

Wonderful shrimp and grits. Super friendly staff and the owners are awesome. Bloody Mary was great. Regret not eating there a second time on our Seattle vacation!

A classic Seattle spot near Pikes Place. The food is very good but not fabulous. The fish and chips are a go-to staple.

Overall, the experience was lackluster. The seafood was overcooked. The ceaser salad was not flavourful but the pork belly was tasty. The service was very short staffed and overloaded on tables. The servers and food runner were very nice.

Perfect crab cakes. Chock full of crab and very nicely crisped, not oily.
Halibut tender, chicken slightly over cooked but flavorful and presented nicely.

Very good food, service was excellent. Appreciate the accommodation of gluten free dishes and dedicated fryer. Wife has celiac disease and it is always hard to find places to dine we can both appreciate.

We shared a beet salad, which had arugula leaves topped off with beet curls, and we both had the gluten-free fish (fresh cod) and chips. The salad was tasty with a very light vinegar dressing. The fish tasted quite fresh and did not have heavy batter. We enjoyed this dish, especially when it is a real challenge to find gluten free deep fried fish.
