Very busy Atmosphere, not really intimate oriented. However very clean, elegant yet rustic Atmosphere, very friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt service. Food was Absolutely Scrumptious A+
We went on Restaurant week and the 3 Course Meal Selections were Very Affordable, Delicious Choices and such a great way to acquaint Patrons to a new Restaurant ! Definitely would Recommend.

I’ve been here a few times. The food has been good and so has the service with the possible exception of how long I have had to wait for food some nights. Be aware that the rice and beans with the tacos are bbq baked beans which I find odd, but still tasted fine. The fish tacos are salmon instead of cod or haddock, and they were good. Be aware there is a 4% surcharge if you pay with a card, which is mentioned on the menu. Someone else complained about not getting happy hour pricing, but everything I’ve seen makes it clear it’s only at the bar and high tops.

I had Mojo Chicken thighs and my husband had Chicken Caprese. I thought food was just okay, little blunt and not so flavorful but my husband loved his and mine, so my opinion is really personal preference I would say. This is a big restaurant so maybe you can just walk in on Friday Saturday for dinner to take a table.
Update on May 22 2025
The menu changed and they added more interesting. We had pasta, chicken salad cups, and croquettes. They were all good
I upgraded from 4 stars to 5 stars.

10 out of 10 highly recommend!! My husband and I dined at Vice & Virtue on our 1 year anniversary trip through New York. The meal was phenomenal! Hannah, our waitress was so kind and helpful. It truly was a perfect dining experience.

Came here on a Saturday night. I ordered one the weekend specials which was half a
Smoked chicken, mashed potatoes, baked beans and a jalapeño biscuit. The chicken was nice and flavorful, definitely got the smokey flavor and wasn’t dry at all. Mashed potatoes were nice and the baked beans good but wish I knew there was bacon in them as I don’t eat bacon and had to pick it out. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Only weird thing was felt like everyone was seated in a back room which was full, but when we left the rest of the place was pretty empty. I would recommend and plan on coming back!

Absolutely FANTASTIC experience from the moment we first walked in the door until we left with our full bellies. I took my father figure and his partner of 37 years out on a night on the town. They are well-known foodies with impeccable taste and high expectations.
Both of them were blown away by their meals.
The presentation was thoughtful and visually appealing, the flavors were imaginative and striking. The staff was so welcoming, friendly and fun. This was a Saturday night outing, so the place was quite busy but we never felt overlooked or neglected, as everyone was very attentive, polite and prompt in reacting to our requests. The main ingredient that made this night memorable was the palpable atmosphere of love, acceptance and “good vibes” all around. I believe this is what makes Vice&Virtue a very special place with exciting future in the Capital Region. Come and make memories at this awesome venue!
Highly recommend: 11 out of 10!

Hoping Vice is just working thru some kinks. Cool location but was expecting a little more music and more cocktail selections as it’s a cocktail lounge. Appetizers were amazing but entrees left a little to be desires. My Surf n Turf skewers has 2 small pieces of what appeared to be stew beef and 2 small shrimp. Our server disappeared mid meal and was replaced by a much friendlier waitress, but wrong drinks were given due to the swap. My friends margaritas was also not able to be drank.

Happy hour was supposed to be 2 for 1, had 3 martinis and Bill was $70! Owner was rude and not helpful.
Julie,
This response is disappointing and unnecessarily accusatory. My review reflects what I was charged and how the situation was handled. The final bill was $70, so my math is not “off.” If there is a discrepancy, that is an internal issue — not a customer error. Julie,
Leaving a review is not slander — it is a customer sharing their firsthand experience. That is the purpose of review platforms.
My review reflects what occurred: advertised happy hour pricing was not honored, the bill totaled $70, and the situation was handled poorly. If happy hour is restricted to bar seating only, that is information that should be clearly communicated before guests order, not after the fact.

Drinks were good tho!

Had a fantastic evening here. Thought we were going to Pinhead Susan’s for dinner and didn’t realize that it was now Vice and Virtue and that it got a major upgrade.
Great service, great food, and great drinks… Highly recommend!
