“My friend and I visited Violet’s and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The restaurant has such a cozy atmosphere and a warm, welcoming vibe that made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. The food was outstanding every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. However, what truly made our evening special was the exceptional service we received from our server, Elizabeth. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely caring throughout our visit. Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and her positive energy truly elevated our evening. She made us feel so welcomed and taken care of that it turned a great dinner into a memorable one. My friend and I left 100% satisfied and already looking forward to coming back. A huge thank you to Elizabeth and the entire team at Violet’s for such an amazing experience! Highly recommend!”
“I visited Violet’s tonight for the first time, and for dropping in on a Saturday night and sitting at the bar for dinner, the service was PHENOMENAL. My bartender was Israel who was quick to give recommendations on both the meal and dessert, and also made a good sazerac. The porkchop and key lime pie were both delicious, and throughout the night I had the chance to meet Samantha, and co-owners Jessica & Liza. They welcomed me to the neighborhood, shared a little bit of the story of their place, and were beyond friendly and accommodating. The decor and feeling inside the restaurant are perfect for a casual dinner and cocktail, date night, or celebration with friends. After tonight, I promise to become a regular of Violet’s as my favorite place on this side of the city.”
“A cocktails menu that hits a happy note to everyone. From fun fruity notes like the Mango Habanero 🥭 Margarita, to spirit forward Rum neurons, with cacoa infused Campari like the Forbidden Love. Food... shareable plates to keep the mix and mingle going from Drunken Mussels, Crude Cups, to main dishes that will leave you satisfied. I love the Short Rib, Pollo Al Madero, and Chino Latino Salad with Grilled Salmon. A great please with good vibes, great bartenders, and tasty food that won't break the bank”
“Delicious food and cute atmosphere. Service was a little slow as it seemed like a 3-man show running the entire restaurant, although they were clearly working very hard to keep everything moving. The servers were very friendly, didn’t make us feel rushed, provided great recommendations, and were kind enough to turn on the outdoor heaters upon request. We ate so much, we practically waddled back home. We will definitely eat here again!”
“We had prefix menu and were able to sample plenty from their deliciously unique menu. The chilled asparagus with egg grabichi really surprised me, it was well presented and had an interesting flavor profile. My partner loved his Pittsburgh salad and ate every last bit. His burger and fries was well executed but my spinach gnudi w/ pesto was unlike anything I've had - creamy, cheesy, savory, yet not too heavy. And we loved our homemade key lime pie, particularly the crumbly crust and real whipped cream. There was only one waitress for the entire restaurant (which was quite busy for a Monday night) so service was a bit slow, but she seemed to have everything under control and was friendly when she interacted with us. I loved the plants that hung above the swanky bar - this is a great place to bring a date.”
