I went to Violet this past week and the decor is nice. The wait staff is interesting (think cute guys with lots of make-up and man cleavage). The owner/chef was there too, he was pleasant. The food at Violet is very average and a little over-priced for what is served. I will gladly pay $25 for 2 heavenly bites, but I do have a problem paying $20 for 4 quarter-sized bland/tasteless scallops. We also ordered the steak (average), the crab salad (a sloppy mayonnaise mess), the mushroom ravioli which turned out to be the highlight of the meal (and great bargain at $13 for 2 decently prepared ravioli), and for dessert we ordered the banana upside down cake (I've tasted better from out of the box cake batter at grandmas). Overall, I think Violet is an ok place to visit if you're not really interested in a great meal and are only looking for a chill place to have a glass of wine, chat with a few friends/date, and stare at the boys with the man cleavage.
Pros: Decor, service, milk and cookies
Cons: Average bland food
