From beginning to end, it was a great dinner. We arrived early for our reservation so found seats at the bar. Cocktails were all very good. They had a great list of mock tails too. Violi has a really cool vibe, but the conversation is loud if that bothers you. Great service. Plates are designed to share and all 6 of us did. We liked everything we tried from the lamb shank to branzino and the mousaka. Will definitely return !

We usually go early about 4:30 when I get off work. (Part time. Dinner out is a perk of working part time after retirement) It’s always quiet! We had Victor as our server the last couple times. He makes every visit really fun!we always order the saganaki. Opa! Victor makes it special.we both had Gyros tonight. Great and left overs galore! We were happy once again! Can’t recommend it strongly enough.❤️

The food was amazing! We had a seat at the bar and ordered some great drinks. After that we got the scallops for an appetizer and some entrees with a side. All were so good. We ended with three desserts which was the right choice because they all were so unique and delicious. Staff were very helpful and attentive throughout the meal. Cannot wait to go back.
