Virtues

Excellent «hospital food!» I was skeptical, but had a delicious steak, with delicious bread, and the best part was the eggplant soup! Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous (Mark, I believe)! Made it worth the somewhat expensive bill.

This place is capable of serving great meals. Hit or miss depending on what you order. For sure the salads, and home made vinaigrette dressing, any pizza are going to be great. Sometimes the soup & daily specials are exceptional as well. Talk to servers. They know what’s popular.

Excellent «hospital food» and service, same with the atmosphere.
Only giving 4 stars because it seemed like the hostess hated her life, and not in the «feel bad for me» sarcastic way — hate using the word rude but pretty close.

Worst food I’ve had in a long time. God bless the high school kids who (I wasn’t aware of the amateur staff) prepared the meal, but it severely lacks skillful melding of flavors and textures. I ordered the grilled pork chop… then the romaine salad after sending back the chop. Bland. Boring. I couldn’t stomach either. I eat food of accomplished chefs regularly and this is sub-​amateur at best.

Virtues brings a whole new meaning to hospital food. I heard about this place from a friend who raved about the place. This delicious gem is tucked inside the hospital on the 2^nd floor off Arch St.
So many good looking choices on the dinner menu it was hard to decide. We opted for an appetizer of fried calamari ($ 9) served with a side of diablo marinara. Portion size was very generous, batter was delicious and light with a bit of black pepper.
Rosemary bread with olive oil was warm and tasty but a bit salty.
We selected the Asian salad ($ 10)with more calamari served with a sweet chili sauce and an Asian inspired ginger dressing. Serving size was again generous and presentation pleasant to the eye. My salmon BLT sandwich ($ 14) had a choice of fries, salad or soup. I opted for the house
speciality soup, cream of eggplant. It didn’t disappoint. It was earthy, creamy, and reminded me of a homemade hearty mushroom. The salmon was cooked perfectly and came on a whole wheat bun with what I think was a cream cheese spread, and lettuce, tomato and slice of bacon.
Most other entrees started at $ 15 and went up around $ 30. Specials for appetizers to entrees appear to change weekly.
Only downside was finding the free parking lot and the sketchy guys that were there when we went to get the car. We might not have been in the right spot?

Now that this place exists, future generations will be confused by all the jokes on TV shows about hospital food. No green jello or vending machine sandwiches at this joint. It’s actually decent, locally sourced food plus liquor (after 4pm). There is free WiFi throughout the hospital and lots of windows (although not much of a view). The staff was friendly and attentive. Although it’s nothing but Code Violet and GSW victims down in the ER, this wing has a mortgage officer and a Starbucks. It’s amazing that a 2 minute walk can take you to another world.
Lunch will run you about $ 11 – 15 which is in line with what you would pay at Crave or other local restaurants. You could spend up to $ 40 on dinner but there are also specials that could keep you down in the $ 15 range as well.
Anywhere else, I might have only given 4 stars. As this is in a hospital, I assure you that this could have been 7 or 8 stars.

It’s a real treat to have an alternative to the hospital cafeteria food, especially one that delivers right to hospital suites.
Virtues offers a wide variety of menu items with breakfast, lunch and dinner service.
Everything I received was of good proportion and tasty. Loved the push for farm fresh local ingredients.
The hospital room delivery service was great. They had meals up in 20 minutes. That’s better than a lot of hotel room service. So if you or your loved ones are admitted to Akron City, this is a good alternative to the standard hospital fare. Oddly, they do not deliver breakfast, only lunch and dinner. So bribe a nurse or do a you fly I buy deal.
It’s on the pricier side, example being an $ 11 burger, but beats taking a car downtown to Crave or Luigi’s for carryout.

This restaurant is hidden away on the second floor of Akron city hospital. You get to it off of Arch street. The hospital has valet parking and the restaurant will validate your ticket.
The restaurant itself has changing specials weekly. Usually a pasta, a beef, chicken or pork, and a seafood.
Just about everything I have had has been excellent.
Open kitchen so you can watch the chefs at work. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable waiters.
No alcohol at lunch and I think a two drink max at dinner.
