I can overlook the bad parking situation (no valet / limited metered spots), I can overlook the mediocre service (we were forgot about, took 40 min to get food and when we got it, the braised beef cold, yet the plate was hot - interesting), and I can overlook the less than clean bathroom (I can almost overlook that), however - what I cannot overlook, is the fact that I felt completely taken advantage of. I am more than willing to shell out a lot of money on a decent bottle of wine, but they had no wine list (revamping it or something) and when I received a bottle of Smoking Loon (Trader Joe?s special) for the ?house cab? I was a little stunned ? but no big deal. No big deal until the bill came, and we saw that this $7.00 bottle of wine that you could have gotten across the street (ironically Violet is located across from Trader Joe?s) turned out to be $36 ? I felt completely taken advantage of, and thought it was ludicrous that this was marked up 5 times. Sad about it too, because the reviews were all pretty good and was looking forward to a great dinner.
Pros: French fries
Cons: They must think their patrons are idiots
