Always an enjoyable time at Violi. If you know what to expect, then you won't be surprised and have complaints. It's a very loud venue, making it difficult to talk with your friends. It's usually crowded and tight quarters with others next to you. You need to make a reservation if you want to sit. That being said, if you know this is the case then you know what you're getting into when you go here. It's great if you're looking for a lively atmosphere with loud DJ music playing good vibes. The sparkelers that they pass out to everyone each night is always a lot of fun. So it's a fun place to enjoy music, drinks and food in an upscale atmospher.

Mario was an excellent server. Food was wonderful.

The menu is limited but the choices fulfill most dietary desires. There is no hard alcohol, but the wine selection is good and they also serve some beer. My filet was perfectly done. Each side dish costs extra and there are several to choose from. The new banana split dessert was heavenly- don't expect the traditional one, this one is far better. We went at night and the ambient lighting and trees were lovely. The center fountain is quiet. Good place for special occasions, romance, and a lovely evening out.

Had a very nice lunch at Modern Plate. The food was very tasty-I had the salmon- and the service was great. The bar is really pretty and I'd like to sit there and eat and drink next time! Sunday lunch wasn't a good time to socialize at the bar lol!

My wife & I had a wonderful dinner last Saturday. Lisa was our server & she was great. Fairly new to this restaurant but explained all the food options etc. some of which I didn’t know. Both of us had the vodka pasta with sausage. Wow. Also had an excellent Caesar salad. Too full for desert. But one thing most servers do not do these days is pour the wine after the initial pour as we always order a bottle but Lisa did that. I know it’s a small thing but, for us, it was such a nice touch. Anyway food was great as always but Lisa really made our visit special.
