    Such a lovely night and dining experience all the way around. Food and drinks were absolutely exceptional. Service - wonderful: attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance…lovely, but just a bit chilly by the front door. Looking forward to returning soon.

    Violet is consistently one of the top restaurants in Seattle. We were a party of four with two out of town guests. We ordered the American Omakase meal with vegetable, fish, and meat courses but without the foie gras. The chef easily accommodated one guest who does not eat beef. As always at Violet, the fish courses were superb--the chef has a real touch with both crude and cooked fish. Plating was lovely and creative, worthy of a starred restaurant. Service was attentive. Wine list is interesting if a little over priced. The restaurant is very loud and would not be good for anyone with hearing problems. It was perhaps worse this evening because there were some very noisy guests. We return to Violet several times a year because it is so very good. Bravo.
