Virginia Inn

Chose this spot as somewhere close to the Moore theater for dinner before a show and so happy we did. We made reservations for 5:30 on a Saturday night but they had plenty of room when we arrived. Asked if we were just doing drinks or wanted dinner so they are good with people taking up tables just for drinks. Nice open space with exposed brick walls and nice character. Doesn't feel like you are in downtown Seattle. Host and waitstaff were friendly and attentive. Companion had the chowder and scallops and I had the Cesar and VI cheeseburger. We were both offered smaller sizes for our starters although they were not listed on the menu as two sizes but we gladly took that offer. Chowder was rich and flavorful, Scallops were perfectly cooked, burger was tender and juicy. Great pick and will definitely go back again.

Gluten free heaven! So thankful to have so many GF options. I was craving fish and chips and found this place, but got so much more! We sat outside and enjoyed people watching while enjoying our meal. We started with drinks and a calamari appetizer. The calamari (gluten free) came with pickled onions and peppers that had the perfect kick to them. I got the fish and chips (gluten free) and my travel buddy got the steak salad. The fish and chips was amazing. I haven't found many places that successfully execute the gf fish and chips (normally the breading around the fish separates and breaks off when you bite into it) but they did an excellent job! The steak salad was more of a steak with a side salad, but it was so fresh and delicious (and who's Gona complain about more steak than expected?!)We finished with the cheesecake, it was good, but not particularly notable. Our server was fantastic. They were very attentive, but not overwhelming and kept our waters full! We also had pleasant interactions with other servers working, good vibes is always an added bonus.Hoping to visit again next time I'm in the area!

We were able to walk right in an get a table! Great service and great food! Small menu but great options. I got the chilaquiles special and the hubs got the traditional eggs benedict, both absolutely delicious! The Irish coffees packed a nice punch! 100% would come back.

Great service! We were warmly greeted and had wonderful recommendations made. The Bloody Marys were delicious and only $10 (much less than we'd pay back home). I had been wanting to try this place since I first saw it in "Singles" more than 30 years ago.

It's very much ok! If you're starving and there's not a wait, pop inside - sure. But nothing really stood out to me here except the history and feel of the corner restaurant. We had the Italian Sausage Frittata and the Fish & Chips. I wouldn't order either again. Frittata lacked flavor and spice although the large chunks of Italian sausage - it could've been crumbled more, remove the large potato wedges, and add some pepper, onions, and spinach for more flavor. Similar to other reviews, Fish & Chips is flavorless - not a juicy seafood fish chosen as the base. Tarter sauce was bland too. French fries were good. It just wasn't worth it for the price. Loved the historical feel but the place lacked cleanliness and had a weird odor.

My husband and I had lunch here as we didn't want to eat directly in the tourist section. It was about half empty so we were seated immediately. The service was quite fast and we enjoyed our food. I appreciated that they had gluten free marked on the menu and both of our dishes ended up gluten free so we were able to share. I would love to come back and try their brunch!

My family and I tried this historical establishment for the first time and it was unfortunately quite disappointing. Everything we ordered was overcooked and not under seasoned. (I usually eat bland food so this is saying a lot)I ordered the VI Classic off of the brunch menu. It came out without bacon so I informed a server that they it seemed like they forgot the bacon. To their credit, they promptly brought out a side order of bacon. Sadly, the bacon came out quite charred. It was so crispy that the bacon broke apart when I picked it up. I asked the host (who I believe runs VI) if it was customary for the bacon to come out so crispy and she told me that it usually comes out this crispy. She did ask if I wanted them to remake the bacon but had lost my appetite at that point and didn't want to order bacon I would not eat. I got the sense that it seemed liked I was being an overly particular customer. You be the judge. Check out the photo of my bacon. Is this how most people enjoy their bacon?With so many other options in the market, I would not recommend The Virginia Inn as a top pick for brunch.

Celiac friendly. Dedicated grill. Very much appreciated. Thank you. Can tell there are a lot of thoughts put into each offering.Definitely worth a visit!

Cool building with list of history going back to its 1903 founding. Full disclosure, we just had a drink at their old bar. They have a nice selection of local drafts. Service was great, looking forward to dining here on a return visit.

Awesome place! Best corned beef breakfast I have ever had! Plus the drinks are well thought out and the staff is super friendly! Can't recommend enough!
