Came in for brunch and ordered the steak and eggs with potatoes and it exceeded expectations across the board. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavor, and the potatoes were seasoned just right and cooked exactly how they should be. Everything came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. The service deserves special recognition. Attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. You can feel that this place takes pride in both their food and their hospitality, which is rare these days. This is how brunch should be done. Quality ingredients, solid execution, and service that makes you want to come back. Outstanding experience and easily a repeat spot.

Just had an event for 50 people with band, DJ and 360 using the beautiful Tosca room and they made sure everything was perfect. Both food and staff were amazing and made for a very special night celebrating my husbands birthday. Will definitely book again for future events. Great communication. Thank you Marie

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 is by far my favorite restaurant on the island. Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food. Second time I’ve been here, first time was last month and I’ve been craving their food since then ! Stephanie makes an amazing espresso martini, creamy and foamy at the top just perfect. Along side her amazing customer service considering my friend and I have been coming after work which is kind of on the later side, we are still greeted with the best customer service as she makes sure we have a great dinner thank you Stephanie ! And thank you to the manager Edison for the amazing hospitality, as I stated the second time I have been here and he has always checked in making sure we are happy and even makes great recommendations on some of the great plates that they offer ! I went with the skirt steak this time and their creamy mashed potatoes. Definitely a staple, can’t wait to be back !

My girlfriend and I decided to dine at Violette’s last night for an early Valentine’s Day dinner.
As we have been in the past, we were extremely satisfied with our experience.
We’ve been coming here since it was La Botte and have always enjoyed the attentive service and delicious food. As a starter, we opted for the Focaccia and it was heavenly. The dipping sauces were exquisite and the bread delicious. For an entree, we opted for the Tomahawk steak for two and it was bursting with flavor. Cooked perfectly and sliced well, it’s hard to beat and complimented our wine selection perfectly.
Our very polite and attentive waiter, John, offered to decant the wine (which I would recommend to anyone else who appreciates the steak/wine pairing).
The zucchini side was delicious, the roasted cauliflower underwhelming but passable.
For dessert, we chose the warm chocolate cake and it was positively delightful.
Overall, Violettes delivered as it usually does and we’ll be back.
The check was a bit high, but you get what you pay for and it was worth every penny!

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.

My husband took me to Violette’s Restaurant for our Valentine’s Day dinner, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our waiter, Michael, was amazing — friendly, informative, and personable. He truly made our first visit so special.
We started with the steak skewer appetizers, which were delicious. Michael recommended the lobster tail prepared oreganato style — something we had never tried before — and it was absolutely incredible! We will definitely be ordering that again and highly recommend it. The calamari was perfectly crispy with great flavor, and we also enjoyed the fried shrimp and the Asian-style salad, which I loved.
The ambiance and décor are perfect. I especially loved the wine/speakeasy theme — it created such a romantic and intimate atmosphere for Valentine’s Day. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. We will definitely be back! ❤️

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

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.
