virago

excellent sushi. sushi was excellent but a little pricey. waiter was very helpful but receptionist was rude and obnoxious

just not impressed. looked over them menu online beforehand and it appeared promising... however, i was just not impressed.
server was very nice and the atmosphere was cool... but i enjoyed the salad i had at lunch at big river brewery more than anything i tried here. sad.
maybe i'm over the sushi thing. maybe it would have been different in a large group where i could have tried a lot more variety. i wanted to like it, but no can do.

rude hostess. food was just okay for the price and the amount given. waiter was super friendly and informative, but the hostess was very rude and snooty. she never acknowledged us when we entered the restaurant and just ignored us, then asked us what we were waiting for--umm.. a table !!!

excellent food and service. if my wife and i lived in nashville we would visit this place often. the service was great. our waiter gave us great recommendations. the sushi rolls were top notch. my wife does not like nori so they substituted soy wraps instead.

really nice, unique business casual atmosphere. exceptional gracious service. engaged greeting staff. fresh, delicious sushi. really nice experience for five first-timers.

what a great place! very fresh sushi with a modern vibe. it was to cold but it looks like a beautiful outdoor area too. this is a must visit while in nashville.

went there last night for a birthday party. i thank god i wasn’t paying. prices are high but it is good quality food. i have never had cold saki before until last night and man was it good. had so much flavor and the sushi rolls we had were great. would go again only if i hit a big scratch off or someone else is paying

great sushi and great environment. good for date night and in a great location. so if you want to hit the bar or lounge afterwards they are within walking distance. great for a date night. sushi is great. i only compare it to fin fusion in murfreesboro. eventually will try some of the other sushi places in town that are rated higher and i will uncover the truth. between virago and fin fusion these other places better bring their a game or i will happily give them the score they truly deserve.

one of my favorite sushi places in nashville. i've been here twice and it's been wonderful both times. hip atmosphere and the gulch location is convenient to downtown.

excellent food! we didn't have a reservation and there was a bit of a wait for a table so we sat at the sushi bar. service was excellent and happy hour did not disappoint. we'll be back!

the gulch is very trendy, which usually means high prices and mediocre food packed with young professionals and college kids. here, you have high prices but outstanding food. the menu is inventive and offers two kitchens, one for fusion and the other for sushi. the southern ramen is wonderful. the sushi was about the best i've had in nashville. usually don't care about ambiance, but they really did a great job with the atmosphere.

it is upsetting to even have to write a review like this on a place that was once a favorite. my husband and i have been going to virago for 8+ years even back when it was on division street. we have always said it was "hands down" the best sushi. we have always recommended virago to visitors of nashville. tonight...i do not know what happened. if one thing was wrong it would be understandable to have an "off" night but this just snowballed into a bad experience all around. my husband and i ordered appetizer, several rolls, and drinks. the waitress was not friendly by all means. she was cold and not professional.the sushi last night was "sub par" definitely not virago. this was the first time this has occurred and we just went with it. we are not ones to complain normally at any eating establishment. my husband ordered a different cocktail to try and once they brought it out, he took one sip and realized it was not for him. it was not good at all. at this point he decided for once to inform the server to see if he could get something different. when the server was informed she point blank just stared at him. you would have thought he said the most offensive thing possible. she just looked at us with this face and replied "whats wrong with it?" we again informed her it was not good.. it did not taste right... something was off. she then said she would have to check with her manager. now let me say this.. i understand having to check with the manager but correct me if i am wrong... good service means making the customer (who is actually polite) feel comfortable and known that you will make it right. we sit and wait... she talks to the manager then walks off and talks to the manager again. at this point, the manager "cory" i believe that is what he said, confronts us in regards to the drink. instead of saying i am so sorry you did not like the drink what would you like in replacement... he proceeds in the most arrogant way to interrogate us about the drink and the flavors. to the point, no lie, he asked what the "taste notes or palate was in the drink". my husband and i were so uncomfortable and speechless at this point. he was relentless in wanting a perfect explanation as to why he did not like his drink. again, let me explain we are not ones to complain about anything and this was just beyond mind blowing. after giving the manager a few pointers about the drink he comped it and that was that. the server was never sincere afterwards and actually did not speak to us only to drop the check on the table. to further point out, we were surprised to see the place so dead.. and now it all makes sense as to why. my thoughts on virago.. disappointing, embarrassing, unprofessional. as gut wrenching as it is to say, we will not be back. i will not give this establishment another dime after our experience last night.

one of the mstreet restaurants that have never disappointed me.  great sushi, great atmosphere, great appetizers, always amazing service.

this place was amazing was my substitute for my traditional new years day of collards and peas. the sushi was amazing and very fresh. the bacon appetizer was a must and the egg rolls were good too. great service. desert was just ok.

good service, great food. the coconut rice is amazing and can be shared between five people (it's huge). i got the vegan sushi and it was super good, my friends got steak and also recommend. also they have beautiful outside seating and valet. would 10/10 recommend!
