    Last night we celebrated the end of another school year and definitely chose the right restaurant! Our dinners, desserts and the service were all terrific. Violet was our server and her attention to every detail and sincere care that all of her customers were taken care of was wonderful. We will be back soon and have a new favorite! Thank you Violet and thank you Violi!

    It's a beautiful restaurant. Some things we ordered weren't too bad and some excellent. It's pricey for the portions in my opinion. But on a positive note we dd enjoy our time there. Would I go back...no!

    Great food. The short rib pasta, beet hummus, carrots, all so good! It does turn into a club type atmosphere later in the evening and gets pretty loud, so if you’re going for a dinner to talk with friends go before 9

    If you are familiar with good Greek food, you will be disappointed. I had mousaka which is an eggplant casserole. I had trouble finding the eggplant. The casserole looked very attractive when it was served, but consisted mainly of bechemal sauce. The horiatiki salad had hardly any cucumber but loads of green pepper strips. Not very Greek. To top it off, the Greek coffee was watery. I doubt we will return

    Such a buzzing and beautiful restaurant. Feels like you are in the heart of the city. Disappointed because this was the second time being seated at the patio when I requested indoor dinning. Me and my guest were cold and so was the food (within minutes). Paying full price for a cold dinner doesn’t seem fair. Also, if you go on the weekend and don’t want to valet make sure you get there at least 10 mins early. Not the restaurant’s fault but the parking situation is a nightmare.

    We have been to Violi several times before and each time we have notice things starting to decline. This last time we went was probably our last. Very disappointed with pricing for what you get now(smaller portions) and Timing of drinks and sides when brought to table when we were done eating. Hope they can get thinks back on track!!

    Food was very mediocre, but they try to justify it by simply mixing it in front of you to create a show. Interior was nice and interesting. But our waiter spilled water on us and didn't even offer a free dessert or a free sparkling water which is what we were having and most of the glass spilled. There are much better places nearby I would rather visit.

    With the restaurant being half empty, we were put at a table at the very back of the restaurant next to the wait staff entrance to the kitchen. We asked to be moved but hostess took a while and by that time, we just decided to order and our server Justin was great so we decided to stay put. They should just have offered us a nicer table to start and not wait for a complaint to do so. Otherwise food was good and service was great.

    Went for a lunch with family. We loved the appetizer platter, the octopus, shrimp and swordfish. The octopus was delicious but such a small serving for $30. If you don't mind a noisy area the patio is great and perfect for photos.

    This is not your traditional Greek restaurant, but rather new interpretations of old favorites. Everything is well prepared, well presented, and well served. Atmosphere has a great upscale feel, that has a night club vibe which becomes more pronounced at later hours on weekends. Well turned out crowd, fun, energetic, but professional staff, and great food make for a memorable meal!
