We waited about 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. After that, the whole experience was smooth. Our waitress was great, and we got through six courses in about 90 minutes, taking dessert to go because we were full .

Our server Michael was exceptional, especially considering how busy it was and his having to keep track of six courses for all his tables. All our choices were good. We typically dine here several times a year and the items on the regular dinner menu are more to my liking, but as I said, everything was good.

Vivian did a great job waiting on us and Bernie’s singing always creates a pleasant atmosphere. Food was fantastic with only exception being the lobster. While it is a challenge to serve so many in such a short time. Arriving patrons stood near the front and glared at diners in apparent hope that they would leave soon for their sake. We lived Violet and Petit Auberge and now do love Petit Violet. We will choose it again. Thank you Petit Violet team for the overall great food and ambiance.

The service was attentive, the wine and cocktails were perfect and our dinners were delicious. We ordered four different entrees and all were cooked perfectly. The added bonus was live music that wasn’t too loud for dinner conversation. I highly recommend dining here!
