We had our daughterx-in-law's Baby Shower here. The room was perfect, the food was great, and the staff was amazing. Matt is the best. He really did a great job overseeing the party. Everyone raved about the venue, and especially about the quality of the food. Several guests offered that it was the best Shower they had ever been to. Thank you for a great experience for everyone, but especially for our daughter-in-law!

Heard so many good things about Violette's and I'm so glad I finally had the chance to try it. The food was outstanding as was the service. Everyone was so welcoming and sweet. Definitely a place we'd return to.

Beautiful, cozy dining venu, great price point, delicious dining choices and excellent staff all made for another magnificent Anniversary Dinner at Violette’s. The restaurant presents a magnificent cocktail menu, as well as, an extensive wine list. We enjoyed the Chateaubriand for two, complete three types of mashed potatoes and four types of sauces! Exquisitely cooked to perfection, it is not to be missed. The desserts were uniquely delicious. The Violette’s staff, namely, June, Gulhan, Yuen, Jose and Tatiana are ultra professional and attend to every need. They are truly an asset to Violette’s. We enjoyed a most memorable evening at Violette’s.

I absolutely loved my experience at Violette's, this restaurant was stunning, there were so many rooms, a tasting room, a party room, dining room, the decor was beautiful and unique throughout the restaurant. The vibe was romantic and really felt like we were at a cellar. Loved the dimmed lightning and just sexy ambiance. Perfect place for date night. The menu had a nice variety, we went for the crispy shrimp which was absolutely amazing and I recommend 100%, the spicy flatbread and the pear salad were also delicious. My smoked old fashion was perfect ! This place gets a 10/10 and I can't wait to visit again when I'm in Staten Island.

We came to Violettes for my father-in-law’s birthday, and it was amazing from start to finish! We brought our own cake, and they brought it out with a candle, which made the celebration even more special. The food was incredible—fresh and flavorful. The Japanese eggplant flatbread was delicious, the spanakopita fingers were perfectly crispy, and the spicy rigatoni was outstanding. Honestly, everything we ordered was so good I’ve lost track of the full list. Our server (Matt, I think?) was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I can’t recommend Violettes enough for a delicious meal and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Went for Bruch on 12/29/24. Super Service - John was a hero and his teammates were helpful too which was a nice touch. Food was delicious--seriously (Philly Cheesestake (ribeye) with goatcheese and onion jam plus an over easy egg on top tasted even better than expected). We loved the vibe and didn't want to leave. Drinks were very tasty and unique. Thoroughly enjoyed ...Will definitely go again. Kudos to all.

Came here for a late brunch on a Sunday with a large group. Thankfully the staff was able to accommodate a huge table! I ordered an espresso martini and it was perfect. I also decided to go for the lobster Benedict, even though it was little pricey at $28. Once I got it I realized why, the plate had a whole tail. The sriracha hollandaise was a highlight for the dish. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles and ate every last bite. The only feedback was that he preferred bone in chicken as opposed to tenders, but he still enjoyed it. I’m curious to check out the dinner menu.

Good spot for a group brunch. Kind of pricey but you get lots of decent food, drinks are strong, and staff is generally good. Highly recommend the fig flatbread, croissants, and bacon.

The ambiance of the restaurant is very classy and elegant, providing a fine-dining experience with reasonably priced items! The selection is also very varied and they were almost all delicious! The truffled cream corn, lobster benedict, and burgers were all very delicious, with our favorite being the corn with its very potent and delicious truffle flavor! The specialized vacuum syphon coffee was also delicious and was enough for four medium sized cups, though it was made for four! The service was also impeccable with Mario and Kevin providing us with quick and considerate service with everything we requested! Our least favorite was the yuzu iced tea which was bitter and did not yield much yuzu flavor at all, so I definitely recommend increasing the yuzu concentration to make the drink more enjoyable! Overall we really want to come back soon to try their many other selections! We came for brunch and we can't wait to try their extensive dinner selection as well! Thank you for the amazing service! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Went to Violettes Cellar on their opening night. It was an absolutely beautiful restaurant. The attention to detail was not lacking in any way. Decor was gorgeous with wine cork walls, exposed brick, industrial lighting and a touch of purple tones throughout all parts of the restaurant, party rooms and button room. The food was fantastic! Very well executed, described exactly as served on the menu and nicely presented. Had a chance to speak to the owner/chef and he seems to be a very nice person dedicated to the success of his restaurant that he clearly put a lot of thought and love into. I will definitely frequent Violette's Cellar as it is a gem in Staten Island and exactly what our little island needs. Don't forget to visit the speakeasy The Button Room! It brings you back in time to the 20's and is worth the experience!

For the prices of the steak you would think it was manhattan. Our steak did come on the colder end and the wine was not on time with it as we asked. The dessert was over all really good. Staff was friendly and we appreciated that. We will give it another try but maybe not order the steak. Over all a good 8/10 for Staten Island

Really enjoyed a Saturday brunch with family. Food was delicious and the service (June) team were on point. Really enjoyed the bloody Marys and pana cotta dessert. Would recommend and will return. Only ding might be the choice of background music accompaning brunch, was more suited for the evening vibe, but not at all a deterrent.

This place was nice! Very cute intimate vibes for a date or a drink with a good friend. Not too crowded. The staff are really friendly and make you feel right at home. I got the Lichee Grand which was pretty good. 4 stars because this food and drinks are a little overpriced.

Tried the tasting menu and it’s not worth it for the price , might as well spend that exact same amount of money and go to a Michelin star in the city. The food was sub par, and short rib was really bad. Even the waygu was not even that good. The dessert could’ve been much better for the price paying as well It was nice that they were attentive even thou annoying that they kept asking how food was for every single course .

Never in my life have I ever felt like I have been scammed before at a restaurant but the Valentine’s Day prices were outrageous. $98 for Salmon and another $17 for a salad that seemed like it was already included in the pre fix menu. Food was decent and service was very good but the prices felt borderline illegal.

Subject: Refund Request Due to Disappointing Dining Experience at Violette’s Cellar My girlfriend and I visited Violette’s Cellar and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. Despite a pleasant ambiance and courteous staff, specific requests were disregarded. I made it explicitly clear that I didn’t want any sauce on any of the dishes. However, the strip steak, cooked perfectly, was spoiled by an overpowering green sauce that didn’t complement the dish. Discovering a bone in the calamari was unexpected and concerning. Moreover, the whipped potatoes, which we expected to be regular mashed potatoes, were unexpectedly sweet, orange in color, and had an off-putting aroma. Additionally, the rice pudding, described as such, resembled warm cereal, not meeting our expectations. Furthermore, there seemed to be confusion or miscommunication about certain menu details during our visit. Given these multiple discrepancies during our dining experience, we kindly request a refund to address these issues. Thank you, Aldo Santos
