Petite Violette

Had a chance to attend (and participate in) Murder Mystery Dinner at Petite Violette this past Friday.Took my mom and sat with some friends. Everyone has a role to play - as big or as little as you can take!Although my character died in the first act, I had fun bringing her to life and then watching everyone else take on their characters! The actors are so amazing and took on every diff role they played with gusto!The room was a little cold, but I was draped with a towel - shroud of the dead?!Came back to life to eat - totally worth it! I had the chicken dish while mom had the beef! Mine was good but I enjoyed hers more!Wine, coffee and tea were served with dinner. Not being a drinker of any of those I asked for a coke - not included.The dessert was so yummy, and I ate it all even though I was stuffed!Our server was very attentive!You can tip when you make your reservation but we left more!Be aware - valet is required. No cost but cash tip.We plan to go back when they have a new show!

After hearing much hype, I eat at Petite Violette on a Saturday night. These are my thoughts:- Ambiance needed an update. - Wellington was overcooked, the pasty was hard and there was a minimal amount of sauce. - Service was NOT acceptable- although the restaurant was packed, there is no reason to wait 16 minutes from finishing your salad (very tasty) to being served the entree (no wonder the Wellington was overcooked). I will not be returning.

Overall 5/5: My boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service. Food 5/5: Food was great. I had the duck which was super tender and paired great with the green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything melted in your mouth! Loved the soup of the day as well. Couldn't quite remember what it was, but it was flavorful and delightful. Service 5/5: Our server was super polite and patient. Knowledgeable about the menu, and was really pleasant. He took great care of us. Ambiance 5/5: Quaint and cozy spot. Classic designed but super cute. Nice for an intimate quiet date night. Thank you, Petite Violette!

A wonderfully quiet, elegant dinner! Celebrating a loved one's birthday, this was a surprise outing for them. The white table cloths and lighting were a very nice touch, along with our patio view, with the light rain on the leaves. Our waitress, took our orders and served them quickly, with savvy. Though, the wine selection, imho, could be a slightly higher quality, but the entrées and desserts themselves - EXCELLENT! I'm likely to revisit for the Coq au Vin or Beef Wellington and would definitely recommend.BON APPÉTIT

Petite Violette is a must try! Excellent service with friendly and attentive staff.

So we met some friends last night for the murder mystery theater dinner and it was a blast! The actors and staff were so pleasant and fun! They make an effort to include everyone during the dinner production, some really simple and others more involved (if it's a special occasion for you, you're gonna get a starring role!) Everyone laughed and had a great time. The meal included appetizers, a salad, a choice of a few amazing entrees (look for my picture of the menu) and a dessert. I chose the shrimp and pasta and was satisfied, it was delicious, but I stole a bite of my husband's salmon and it was more along the scale of amazing. There was a bar in the back especially for the production, but it was running kind of slow, so we went up front for drinks. The specials were noticeably more "loaded" than some drinks, so be careful if you have friends who like to push toward alcohol poisoning cause you're a bunch of mama's who don't get out much with more responsible husband's driving. We did have a friend with us in a wheelchair and it was just a hair difficult getting to and from the bathroom, but staff noticed and happily assisted us in moving a few things around and opening wider doors to get us around. Thank you so much for that!The shows change for the season, so I'm planning to go back soon.

Délicieux! This was not my first time at Petite Violette, but it had been far too long. I decided to take my boyfriend to dinner here as a belated birthday treat. I am so glad I chose it because he loved it! We will definitely be back. Wine: -Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Pinot Noir. This is one of our very favorite wines, that goes with everything. Appetizers: -SALADE PETITE AUBERGEFresh Mushrooms and Avocado tossed in a Creamy Avocado Dressing served with Sliced Hearts of Palm, in our House Vinaigrette. This salad was so flavorful! We loved the creaminess of the mushrooms contrasting with the tart vinaigrette dressing on the salad. It was plated beautifully as well. I'm sorry my photo doesn't do it justice. -MOULES MARINIERESMussels, Shallots, Parsley, Butter, White Wine, Garlic, Cream and Toast. Wow! I would come back even just for these mussels alone! The broth is to die for... If I didn't care about manners, I would have picked up the bowl with both hands and drank the broth like a soup! Believe me, I was tempted. Entrées: -NOUILLES AUX LEGUMESTagliatelle Asparagus, Tomato, Mushroom, Parmesan, Pernod Cream Sauce. + Add: Saumon (Salmon). The sauce itself was so layered! You could taste every ingredient in it. The salmon on top that I chose as my add-on was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. -SEABASS FLORENTINEChilean Sea Bass served over Whipped Potatoes and topped with fresh sautéed Spinach, Olive Tapenade. This was the entrée my boyfriend chose. He loved it, and shared bites with me. Everything was so good. That olive tapenade was especially noteworthy... he literally cleaned the plate, making sure every drop was finished! Service: -Laura was our server this evening! She was so friendly and helpful, and always seemed to find our table at the perfect time, when we were ready to order or needed a minute. We loved her! Ambiance: -Comfortable and cozy. There was a mix of casual and business casual attire on the patrons. We dressed up a little more (you can't tell because my boyfriend took off his blazer, but he wore a suit with a tee and sneakers, and I wore a long sleeved short sequined dress), but we didn't feel overdressed. The restaurant has white tablecloths, but it isn't overly upscale. Thank you for everything!

Service was great, my waitress, Gelise, was awesome and very attentive. She made wine pairing suggestions, based on selections, was friendly, sociable, and knowledgeable. Ask for her! Ambiance is quiet, upscale, with soft French music and candle light. Food was amazing! Pictures tell the story. So good and shareable sizes...Have dessert !! If your in the area and want delicious French cuisine, this is your place. I will be back!

The environment was very welcoming and the host was very nice with great energy. We ate at the bar and the service was awesome. I forgot the gentlemen's name who severed us but he was amazing and knew the menu very well! He also made the best White Russian I've ever had! The food was great, everything we ordered was on point. I would definitely recommend because it is definitely worth the experience. They also have a murder mystery night Fridays and Saturdays that you would have to make reservations for. I haven't experienced that event yet, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. OVERALL GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Lovely French restaurant in very nice setting. Food is prepared in authentic French style and very tasty. The service is very helpful and accommodating. We love to meet friends for a meal at Petite Violette. Bon Appetite!
