Safe spot where celiacs and those with gluten allergies/intolerances can eat. Most of the menu is gf or can be made gf. The fish and chips and steak and frites were both really good.
During the ordering process when I was explaining my allergy, it felt like I wasn’t being heard, they’d cut you off and say “I know we’re a gluten free restaurant.” This was annoying.
The restaurant is understaffed. Service was slow.

No crowd on a Thursday at 5pm. We came here because they had gluten free options. Super happy with the fish and chips! It’s a cornmeal type of batter that was more like Southern fried fish, but the fish was of a much higher quality. The house made tartar sauce was the best I’ve ever had!! They have a cute patio and the vibe was laid back. Highly recommend this place.

I have no idea how this place received so many high ratings. If I used the restroom prior to ordering, I would not have eaten here. There was water-downed soap in the bathroom and the bathroom was filthy! The special halibut I ordered was on top of asparagus flavored with jarlic and reconstituted lemon juice. Plus, the halibut was totally overcooked. The special butternut squash soup was a gelatinous concoction without the taste of squash. The burrata on top of heirloom tomatoes was a tiny amount of cheese on top of slimy tomatoes that were too old and fell apart instantly. The steak was of poor quality as well. Our server was not at all pleasant and hated answering questions. The only thing decent and edible was the smoked salmon. Also, my cocktail was good. We felt that there are much better places to eat and will never return here.

I love they have sooooo many GF options. My husband and I found this little gem 10 years ago when we were in Seattle for vacation and I go back everytime I'm in Seattle for work. Nothing fancy but good food. Seems like a lot of locals go and the staff is always welcoming.

We have walked from The Mayflower Park Hotel to the Seattle Center to the Olympic Sculpture Park down by the water and then back up to eat at Virginia Inn. We both got the Smoked Salmon and Clam Chowder. Very yummy

My all-adult family of 7 ate at Virginia Inn Labor Day weekend. Though their website did not indicate that they were closed between 2:00-3:00, they had us wait just briefly and then took us in early before 3:00. The service, food & atmosphere were excellent. I'm giving a 4/5 overall rating, however, because of the bill I received at the end. In my mind, a tip is a gift that you give to an establishment to show your gratitude when the experience was outstanding. I was looking forward to giving a 20% (or more) tip at the end because our experience was so good. However, a 20% gratuity was already added to the bill and expected to be paid. To me, that took all of the joy out of giving a tip plus diminished the expeience we just had. Too bad that Virginia Inn has lost its faith in people to be good, honest & generous patrons.

Very delicious food, fine wine and exceptional service.
Ordered the shrimp and grits, should've taken a photo, but it was an oily mush. Limited menu, unsure if I'd try the restaurant again.

Place is ok. Food isnt really a must have. Would’ve love to order dessert or something but the server came to my table just ONCE. All they did was just take my order, didn’t even bring my food nor check up if everything was ok and it wasn’t even busy. Makes no sense to me. But whatever. The only thing I enjoyed was being to eat outside and enjoy the weather.

A bit pricey for what is served. I ordered soup and it was good. No side roll or bread so I ordered a side. Focaccia bread was the only option. It was moldy and stale. This was a Saturday that I went.
