    My wife is French, so my opinions are often a bit hard on the place. She ordered foie gras and said it was not cooked as she likes. Her duck was pretty good, she didn't like the sweet potato puree. My chicken noodle dish was quite good, and filling. Wine prices are in the typical range, not an extensive selection which is OK. The music was nice. There was a lady sitting behind me with a very loud speaking voice and it got better after she left. Service was OK. It was enjoyable overall and we plan to return, which is not always the case.

    The quiche of the day (Lorraine) was fabulous with side salad or soup. Our server was attentive. Since it was a birthday celebration, we received a complimentary dessert. Delicious!!

    The offerings are mostly correct French recipes. The quality of the ingredients (relative to price) were (IMO) sub-standard. Offerings that generally require a day or two of simmering (e.g. Bourginon, Coq au Vin) seemed not to have had sustained simmering. French onion soup was good and presented well, but a bit to the sweet side (Vidalia onions?); needed a bit more “bite.” Desserts were good. Cappacino not that good. Server was fantastic; chatty, friendly, attentive.

    The others in our party of six were very pleased with their French Onion Soup, Fried green tomatoes Napoleon, redfish with spinach and risotto, veal piccata, and more. The rolls served before dinner were disappointing, seemed not fresh and not warm. The wines were nice and reasonably priced. The live jazz combo was a nice bonus.

    The food was good. The place was quiet due to the time of day (2:00pm). We were not offered a wine list, but that was ok. They were out of one of the desserts we wanted. Temp was a little cold..

    We celebrated Bastille Day at Petite Violette. Our waiter was excellent. We had a very nice table, the food was great as always. Their menu always has a nice selection, so it is hard to decide what to order. They had a fried green tomato appetizer that we shared and everyone loved. We were there on a Sunday night, so it was relatively quiet and we were able to sit in the front of the restaurant (which is my favorite room). Will be back again soon.
