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. read more

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. read more

Came here with my boyfriend and his family for a late Sunday lunch and we had a decent time. I got the fish and chips and a strawberry Italian cream soda. The fish was super tasty and crispy. The fries were fine, could have been fried a little longer and seasoned a little more but that might just be my personal preference. The strawberry cream soda was a little too sweet, less syrup would have tasted more balanced. My boyfriend got a bloody mary and the cheeseburger. The bloody mary was alright, it tasted like a bloody mary but wasn't anything special. The cheeseburger was really flavorful, but we asked for it medium rare and it came out closer to a medium or medium well. Overall, this place is alright. The food and the service are fine but the prices feel like a tourist trap. I loved the decor inside, really nice blend of vintage wood and tile with some houseplants and cool art, but I was definitely expecting more read more

The beet and arugula salad with blackened tofu (My protein choice) was absolutely delicious. My server was lovely and attentive.

In town with old friends at this historic restaurant. Great location, great food, great service, great ambience.

I have been gluten free since I was 4 years old. This is the BEST stop for gluten free that I have found in Washington. first time I have ever felt "normal" ordering food. Amber was amazing as a service provider across the entire restaurant. If you or someone you love has celiac i ABSOLUTELY recommend giving this place a try. 10/10 I will be back again read more

Delicious salmon and clam chowder! Great service and atmosphere. The food came fast and presentation was excellent.

Best gumbo in Seattle, great service, great food, ice atmospher, highly recommend 10/10

Salmon avocado toast & chicken, biscuit and gravy were awesome. Service impeccable. Local business delivering high quality!!

Came here for dinner and had a good experience. Our server was great and personable. To start, we had the calamari. At first, we were a little surprised by the softness of the calamari rings but after we kept eating, we loved it and it felt fresh and tender. The accompanying aioli was excellent and we even saved it for fish and chips. For mains, we ordered the fish and chips (so excited because it was gluten free and the server also assured us that nothing with gluten goes in that fryer), and a Caesar salad. The fish and chips were excellent, so tender and well fried, and the sauces were all good. The Caesar was a little underwhelming, and to be fair, this might be a little pedestrian of me but I didn't love the overwhelming anchovy taste I got with some bites of the salad. The decor is cute--dim and good for a date night. read more

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! read more

I love this place!! The food is top quality and delicious. And I appreciate that they have so many vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. The service is super friendly, attentive, and accommodating. It also has such a cute vibe inside - the historical building, brick walls and tons of plants give it a really nice ambiance.

I recently enjoyed a pleasant brunch at this cute restaurant. After visited Pike Place Market, a cozy spot with some good food was just what I needed. The prices here are reasonable compared to other brunch spots near Pike Place Market. One of my favorites here is the salmon and clam chowder; it was so delicious! It was a creamy, perfectly seasoned bowl. Another favorite of mine here is the fried chicken and biscuits: freshly baked biscuits paired with crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside chicken, alongside savory gravy and egg. The patio seating offers a delightful spot to enjoy sunny weather, while indoors exudes a cozy ambiance. Plus, this restaurant located right next to Pike Place Market is such a convenient location for whoever visits Pike Place Market. For visitors to Seattle looking for a relaxed breakfast or brunch place, this spot is a good choice. The service was prompt and attentive. I will definitely be back for more tasty brunches! read more

Do yourself a favor and take yourself to the Virginia Inn and sit in the corner booth (featured in the classic 1991 movie Singles) and order the raspberry lemon drop and either the steak frites or the fish and chips. Go with a friend, a parent, a date, or take yourself, it's always always a good time. I literally have never been sad with anything I've ordered and the staff are down to earth and nice. Love all the plants, love the floors, love the wood booths. Big Virginia Inn fan over here! read more

Got a Pilsner and the VI Burger. Both were amazing. Server, Tiana, was super friendly and quick. Ambiance of the old style architecture and street dining were on point. Will return. read more

Wonderful dinner earlier this week with perfect service level provided by Tiarra. The evening started out with the hostess taking us to her favorite table which gave us a cozy location where we enjoyed the street scene and happy customers in the restaurant. Bowl of chowder was a wonderful way to start out the meal and things only improved when the halibut arrived. All the food was well prepared and delicious full of flavors which complemented the halibut. Capped off the evening with a rich dark cup of coffee. Great service and exceptional food... read more

We are so glad we stopped in the Virginia Inn. Food and service was wonderful. had the GF Beezer cheese curds which you'd never ever know are gluten free and really good.

Came in at around 3:50 on Saturday August 16th. 2025. Sat outside by the door. As I was sitting down I put my jacket on the chair next to me. The greeting staff turned around as if I was setting the place on fire and started berating me for putting it on the seat just incase someone else will sit on it. (Mind you, as you probably realized by the service, it's not packed, and that being the first interaction at this place really shows what they prioritize. They serve vita coffee which I got afterwards- the coffee was good- just not with the snapping behavior. Avoid unless they do some human interaction training. read more

The service here is attentive to a fault. It was honestly a bit overwhelming. We were in around 1:00 on a Saturday, so it was brunch time. The kids loved the French toast, though the serving was small for our seven year old. I had the fish and chips and found the fish a bit bland and dry. My husband enjoyed the burger. Overall, the fact that it was half empty for brunch on Saturday that close to Pike Place pretty much tells you what you need to know. read more

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. read more

I stopped in for a quick dinner around 8:30pm (they close at 9pm). They were courteous and accommodating even though it was so late and I was almost the last person in there. I ordered the Wild Mushroom pasta which was fresh, homemade pasta with at least 3 or 4 different types of mushrooms. And it was tasty and wonderful, and I had someone checking in on me every now and then. So what's the catch? NONE. They were pleasant and attentive and the pasta dish was really good. They were friendly and understanding, and I had a great meal with great service. I am pointing all of this out because it's so easy to complain about the littlest things. Yet this restaurant went out of their way to feed me a great pasta dish with no reservations and late notice. They could've told me they were closing but they said that they'd gladly seat me. I'll be heading back there again and I'll make a much-earlier reservation next time. But thank you for the great dinner. read more

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! read more

I had a really good Reuben Sandwich here, and also sampled my girlfriend's chicken sandwich. Solid good food food. As a rule of thumb, I believe you can test the quality of a place like this by sampling its Reubin. And this Reuben is really high quality. Great corned beef. Quality rye. Quality sauerkraut. I definitely approve. Also, a full bar with well-made cocktails. It's all a bit on the pricey side, but given the location (right new Pike's Place Market) I'm sure the rent is high. Also, given location, there may be a bit of a wait. This is a gem of an old school bar/restaurant in the heart of the tourist district. So if you want to get out of the crowd for a bit and check out a classic, it's well worth your time. read more
