The restaurant is beautiful. Service was really good.
The food? Just ok. Most of what we ordered felt overly sweet and sauced. The Bomb sushi doesn’t need that much sauce on top We loved the mushroom fried rice!

Five stars across the board! Celebrated my birthday here last night and I’m still thinking about the meal. Every dish was flawless, but the service was what set it apart. Our server was phenomenal—super helpful with recommendations and kept the energy high all night. Hands down the best birthday dinner I’ve had in years!

This was the PERFECT date night. Our food was spectacular. HIGHLY reccomend the toto- the whisky smoked soy sauce it comes with it is to die for. The shoshitos were also a table favorite. Our waiter, Andrew M, made our experience all the more memorable with special reccomendations based on our tastes and kept our drinks flowing, our bellies full and our hearts laughing! Thank you Andrew for making our evening so wonderful, truly the best waiter I’ve had in a long time.

I went here for NYE dinner & I liked it so much that I came back the next night lol. I have a severe shellfish allergy that can make sushi spots a big challenge for me. That was not the case at Virago. The service was impeccable! Both my servers were so kind. Best maguro I’ve had in a bit. Thank yall so much!!

Virago in Nashville delivered an exceptional dining experience from the moment we arrived. Connor, our bartender, was outstanding, genuinely attentive, personable, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His service alone would bring me back.
The sushi was excellent, fresh, and expertly prepared. Every dish we tried was impressive, and the atmosphere matched the quality of the food, stylish, energetic, and truly top notch.
What stood out even more was the leadership on the floor. The manager was hands-on in the best way, personally helping us switch tables and even cleaning one himself so we could be seated faster. That level of care is rare.
Overall, Virago exceeded expectations in every category. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great sushi, great service, and an all-around amazing experience.

I had a great experience surprising a friend with a dinner at Virago. The atmosphere was astonishing. The servers were very attentive. Overall I am excited to plan another visit. The food was my favorite part. I can’t wait to go back and try more sushi.

I came with my mom to celebrate my recent college graduation, and we absolutely loved it!!
Our server, Kristen, was super sweet, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She went above and beyond, and it made our experience the best. She also recommended several dishes, which we ordered, and all of them were delicious! The spicy tuna crispy rice was perfect, especially with the pop rocks. The sushi tasted fresh, and the truffle + caviar nigirizushi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! My mom got the Korean pork belly bao buns, and she loved it! The pork belly was crispy, and the buns were soft and fluffy. I’m actually still dreaming about the miso brookie; it was fudgy and had the perfect amount of richness, saltiness, and sweetness.
The restaurant itself was very nice, and the lighting was perfect (not too bright, not too dark). The music wasn’t overly loud either, and the seating was comfortable.
Overall, Virago was 100% worth it, and it’s definitely one of my new favorite spots!

Ashley was INCREDIBLE!!! Seriously couldn’t have asked for a better server!! Thoughtful, considerate and so appreciative. It was our friend’s birthday and she made it even more special. She greeted us with intention and all around was incredible. I will ONLY ask for her from here on out. Ask FOR ASHLEY!!!!

Can you polish this online review up… I’d like the tone to be disappointed. My fiance and I made reservations stating we were coming to celebrate our engagement. We were greeted upon entering, asked for the name on the reservation, the asked if we were celebrating anything (although it was already on our reservation). We were sat and shortly after, greeted by our server.
We started with a few starters…The starters were better than the sushi. We started with the spicy edamame, the rock shrimp, a lobster nigiri, and the spicy tuna crispy rice. They were all good but nothing that just knocked our socks off.
The sushi was sub-par at best. The fish didn’t seem fresh and the rolls were tiny. The price and quality of the rolls don’t align at all. We ordered a Smokey Heat and Truffle Shrimp roll. The tuna in the smokey heat did not have a fresh or high quality sushi grade taste and they either forgot the cream cheese or barely put any in there.
The ambiance was beautiful. Our only issue, which is NO fault of the restaurant was the group sitting on the other end of the room from us had a cackler. This girl was so loud and never stopped talking we couldn’t enjoy the company of each other. We heard her entire conversation the entire meal. Oddly enough after that group left another group came in and was sat right next to us… we barely heard them talking. Just starting this to give an idea of how loud the cackler that was across the room was talking.
Overall, we were underwhelmed by our experience and have much better sushi for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. We love to get out in Nashville often and splurge on a nice dinner, but when you splurge and the food quality doesn’t match it’s quite disappointing.
Also want to note, we found it odd that they asked online and in person if we were celebrating anything, i guess for informational purposes only!?

Here’s a polished version of your review with a disappointed but fair tone:
My fiancé and I made reservations noting that we were celebrating our engagement. Upon arrival, we were asked for the name on the reservation and then asked again if we were celebrating anything—something we had already included online. It felt like a missed opportunity, as nothing about our evening reflected that celebration.
We started with several appetizers: the spicy edamame, rock shrimp, lobster nigiri, and spicy tuna crispy rice. They were decent, but nothing memorable. Unfortunately, the sushi was the biggest letdown. The fish didn’t seem fresh, and the rolls were noticeably small. For the price point, the quality was disappointing. We ordered the Smokey Heat and Truffle Shrimp rolls—the tuna in the Smokey Heat lacked the fresh, clean taste of quality sushi-grade fish, and the cream cheese was either forgotten or so minimal it was undetectable.
The ambiance itself was beautiful, but our experience was overshadowed by an extremely loud guest seated across the room. Her voice carried through the entire room to the point where we could barely enjoy a conversation of our own. Once her group left, the volume difference with the next table was night and day, which really highlighted how distracting it had been. Of course, this isn’t the restaurant’s fault, but it did affect the overall experience.
In the end, we left underwhelmed. We’ve had far better sushi elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. We enjoy splurging on nice dinners, but when the food doesn’t measure up to the price tag, it’s hard not to feel disappointed.
Lastly, it struck us as odd that the restaurant asks multiple times—online and in person—if a reservation is for a special occasion, yet does nothing to acknowledge it.
