I'm not a foodie but I have a good friend who is a foodie and he insisted that we come here because I had to try it and he was paying.  That sealed the deal for me (when you see their prices on the menu you'll understand).\n\nAs it turns out I only had an appetizer and a drink (long, uninteresting story that has nothing to do with the restaurant).  But, what an appetizer!  We don't have a lot of octopuses (is that a cool word or what?) in the desert so you get one when you have the chance.  Virtu's grilled octopus with chickpeas is served with chili butter. There's a bit of a char but they are very tender.  My foodie friend insisted that I have their Let The Beet In cocktail along with the octopus because it complemented the dish (I told you he was a foodie). I guess he's right and frankly it's not the type of drink I would have ordered on my own.  It's made with salted beet syrup (I didn't know there was such a thing) with aquavit, mezcal and lime juice. It was very good.\n\nService was excellent and when it turned out we had to leave abruptly they were very gracious and understanding. I'll be back for a main course some day.
