    Our server was very attentive and fun. Cocktails were great. Not sure about the smoked trout dip/smashed potato combo. A little too heavy served with 4 large smashed potatoes. Salad needed more seasoning and the lamb meatballs were just OK.

    You can't go wrong with any Michael Smith restaurant. The food is always delicious and creative. Favorites this time were the Grilled Bread and Ricotta, Beet Salad, Grilled Ribeye and Pear Crostada. Great service and a quality meal at a great price. It is a vibrant atmosphere, which we enjoyed, but if you're looking for something quieter, head next door to Farina. Both restaurants are wonderful!

    We brought our mother-in-law to Happy Hour. She has never been to Extra Virgin and we have always raved about it. And, as always, EV delivered. She loved the cucumber salad (hubby and I always order this dish), and the smoked trout dip. She also enjoyed the beet salad. Not skimping on dessert, we all ordered a different one. She raved about how great the crust on the Pear Crostada was... and she makes pie crust the old-fashioned way. The pork ribs were amazing... that sauce had our table smacking our fingers. And that whipped Pistachio Cheesecake... glad I decided to give it a try. So light... a perfect finisher for the meal. Service was impeccable, as always. We measure every other place in the city against EV. Top notch, laid-back and always a great time, from food to service.

    Made a reservation on Open Table. I put in my reservation to sit outside if available, and somewhere not near others. I was sat inside at a two top by the bar in a busy flow area. I went to the host desk to ask if we could move to a patio table. We got moved to a two top table close to other tables. No one was sitting at those tables yet, b it if anyone sat it the table next to us I wouldn’t be able to get out of my chair. The fit was tight. Luckily our server was amazing and turned around my experience. Shane was knowledgeable and very attentive to us.

FAQs

Yes, Extra Virgin offers a patio (seating for about 50) and guests often enjoy dining outside on warm nights.

Yes, Extra Virgin is frequently recommended for date nights and anniversaries, with guests praising its inviting atmosphere, attentive service, and drink list.

Casual dress, comfortable, unfussy clothing is appropriate; nothing formal is expected.

Yes, Extra Virgin’s tapas-style small plates make sharing easy for families, and one reviewer specifically noted their teenage son enjoyed the food.

Tuesdays are a standout for all-day happy-hour drinks, Thursdays are great for half‑price rosé, and Mondays feature the margherita pizza special.

Extra Virgin tends to be bustling at peak times, guests report busy Friday nights, packed holiday evenings like New Year’s Eve, and a lively happy hour scene; the back/new dining rooms and reserved seating side are noted as much quieter spots for conversation.

The menu is built around shareable small plates, and many guests describe the portions as generous, groups often leave comfortably (even uncomfortably) full with leftovers.

For great value and a lively vibe, visit Extra Virgin during happy hour, guests rave about the half‑price apps and drinks (one review even notes an all‑day Tuesday happy hour); if you prefer quieter dining, request the reserved dining room or choose a later seating when the patio quiets as parties trickle out.

Extra Virgin feels energetic and social, a Mediterranean tapas spot in the Crossroads with a big bar, an open kitchen that adds buzz, and a popular patio for people‑watching; the back or private dining rooms provide a noticeably quieter option.
