I checked out the Sunday prix fixe dinner at Violet recently and it's quite a deal - $25 for 3 courses, $10 for all you can drink wine (only one choice of wine, however). I admit, however, I was more excited about the concept than the actual food (which was good, but not particularly extraordinary). The best thing was what we ordered a la carte - the mac & cheese (very flavorful and rich); the next best was the yummy apple tart with gelato (just a lovely small bite of perfect sweetness and crispness). The cauliflower soup (ok, a bit bland) and the asparagus/ham risotto (again pretty good, but could have used more ham and pepper) were not very memorable. I would still however try this place again to see what is offered on their normal menu. Note, the prices are quite good; the portions are on the small side.
Pros: Great prices & Sunday Dinner Concept
