Virgil's Cocktails And Cocina - Raleigh

I enjoy dining at Virgil's and having a drink. However, I was disappointed by the new bartender who seemed more focused on flirting with two girls at the bar than on providing good service. It was his first night on the job and he ignored our group of male friends, forcing us to repeatedly get his attention just to order drinks. He made our drinks slowly and then continued to ignore us until the girls left, when he gave them his number. It was a disappointing experience at Virgil's, which I have never had before.

Virgil's in Raleigh has the best margarita I've ever tasted. The atmosphere is a perfect 10, with great food to match. I highly recommend this spot!

The restaurant was extremely accommodating! I was seated right away. The servers were very attentive and provided excellent service. I would recommend trying everything on the menu. The drinks were also prepared perfectly.

What a place! so friendly service, great eating and the best cocktails! I would recommend 10/10 to come out here for a wonderful night. huge tacos!

AWFUL!!! Bad service and sub par food. We dined in at 5:45 on a Friday and the restaurant was empty. A few people outside but not busy whatsoever. Still, the service was incredibly slow. Waited long periods of time on refills, food was slow even though the “free flowing kitchen” model of the restaurant makes it so that all food comes out whenever- I waited over 20 minutes for 2 tacos and my husband had already finished eating. Mind you, there’s practically no one in this restaurant at the time. Another frustrating issue was that we were NOT made aware that refills aren’t free. They charge you $3 per refill (from a tap btw) so we ended up paying nearly 20 dollars on soda, completely unaware because it wasn’t communicated to us- not to mention our last refill came when the check was dropped long after we had both finished eating. Aside from the slow and crumby service, the food wasn’t great and my tortillas weren’t cooked so they snapped in half upon picking up my two tacos- both of which were not even a quarter of the way filled. Upon leaving, our server was super pretentious and told us that the restaurant was super frustrating to work in because of how disorganized and inexperienced the young staff is- not what he was used to coming from a “fine dining background” despite the fact that he himself contributed to our negative experience. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place!
