From the OpenTable editors: Besides serving exceedingly delicious southern fare and top-notch hospitality from James Beard Award-winning chef Erick Williams, Virtue shows how a restaurant can be a community champion. With moving activist quotes on the windows, art of Black cultural figures, and a minority-centered mentorship program, Williams goes all in on lifting the Black community through food. Pro tip: Don't miss the shortrib, and save room for dessert.
