Hyde Park restaurant celebrates classic southern cuisine with side of love and hospitality

Monday, August 10, 2020
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Virtue Restaurant and Bar in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood is just one of many local spots modifying their dining space to accommodated customers and COVID-19 safety guidelines.

Chef and owner Erick Williams joined ABC7 Chicago to give us a look at his summer menu.

One dish Williams says you'll want to try is their summer melon salad. He describes it as a wonderful Southern-American interpretation of one of everyone's favorite summer fruits - sweet, juicy melon! It also features fried ham, buttermilk cheese and pepper vinegar.

Virtue opened in November 2018 and is Williams' first solo concept after a more than 20-year career in fine dining.
