Fine dining at its best! Restaurant prices are out of control, but when you eat in a establishment that creates dishes that are exceptional as Violets Cellar you don't mind paying as much, because it's worth it. The ambiance was beautiful, the service outstanding and the food on the brunch menu was memorable. Every bite of the special zucchini pasta was to die for. My palates were doing a happy dance. Waffle and chicken on our table was also good especially the corn batter waffles very savory, fluffy and crispy. Let me not forget the drinks which were beautiful to admire, and delightful. I sipped my drink slowly to be able to enjoy every flavors that were in my margarita. For the finale I had the tiramisu which was one of the best I've had in SI. Everyone else on my table were very content with their dish. On our way out the Host was a delight and he gave us a tour of this fine establishment. This will be my monthly get together with my friends.

This place is bar-none the best brunch spot, doing justice to the rest of the esteemed restraunt group that it is part of. Its crew of John, Matt, David, Zach, and all others clearly take a special concerted effort for each visit and event I can not recommend this place enough for an elevated culinary experience, done right

Went for Bruch on 12/29/24. Super Service - John was a hero and his teammates were helpful too which was a nice touch. Food was delicious--seriously (Philly Cheesestake (ribeye) with goatcheese and onion jam plus an over easy egg on top tasted even better than expected). We loved the vibe and didn't want to leave. Drinks were very tasty and unique. Thoroughly enjoyed ...Will definitely go again. Kudos to all.

From the moment we walked into Violette’s Cellar, we were completely captivated. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegant and cozy dim lighting, you really feel as if you are in a cellar! As well as rich textures, and a welcoming energy that sets the tone for a memorable night out. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. You can truly taste the quality and creativity behind the menu. But what truly elevated our experience was the service. Our server, Matt, was exceptional attentive without being overbearing, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. He made us feel like we were his top priority, and his recommendations were spot on. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want an unforgettable meal, Violette’s Cellar is a must-visit. We’ll absolutely be back and we’ll be asking for Matt!

We recently celebrated our birthdays by doing the Chef's Tasting Menu. It blew us away! The food was so delicious and the service just as good. Loved the private intimate candle lit room. We were impressed that Chef Peter Botros came to us with each tasting and spoke to us. Such a great experience. Well worth the money!

This is by far the best restaurant on the island! Went for my anniversary today and the service was spectacular. Everything came out quick and everyone was friendly. Our server, Matt, went above and beyond for us! The food itself was delicious and you can tell every single ingredient used is fresh and high quality. I can’t wait to be back!
