   We tried Violet’s for the first time and were pleased with the food. We started with deviled eggs which were yummy. The 2 salads we ordered were good. We did order the salt and pepper chicken wings but they never came. By the time we realized that order never came, we were halfway through our entrees so decided not to say anything. (Would have loved to have tried the chicken wings though.) 🥲 Although they changed the steak from a ribeye (which had rave reviews from patrons), a few of us ordered the ny sirloin cap and it was excellent. A few of us ordered the cioppino and my friends loved it. My husband ordered the fried chicken Mac and cheese and it was disappointing that he could not get all dark meat (got 1 leg, 1 thigh and breast meat). Mac and cheese that accompanied the fried chicken was not very creamy. All in all, very good restaurant. Very lively place and food is very good. 👍🏻

   This place checks all the boxes. Other neighborhood restaurants in the city should take note. Our first visit as we live across town but worth the trip. I live in the Castro / NV and there isn’t a shortage of places to dine but not many places you want to frequent.

   Only one server for the whole place. The cocktail took 20 min. Food choices were limited for vegetarians. Slow service. The place needs two more servers

   Enjoyed Violets with the new menu and rebranding! Burger and ceviche were excellent, along with the key lime pie! Drinks were also fab.

    I had a fantastic dining experience here. Came with a friend for an early evening seating. The restaurant was busy but not packed. Our server Liza was extremely friendly and thoughtful. We started with drinks immediately, but took a while to decide on our food. Liza did not pressure us at all, which was greatly appreciated. The food we ordered came in good time and everything was delicious. Portion sizes were appropriate and we had a small amount left to take home. After dessert, we were presented with a small complementary glass of a unique wine, which was super delicious. I highly recommend the deviled eggs and mashed potatoes. The purple cocktail was our favorite drink. When the bill came, we were surprised at how reasonably priced everything was.
