There were three of us and we had a lovely meal My daughter and I had amazing salmon so favourable it came with a bed of rice so creamy. I asked for bread it was hot and smelled so heavenly. We also had a small dinner salad I had Caesar and my daughter had regular small salad with ranch. Michael had steak and scallops cooked to perfection. The ladies had wine and Michael had his brown sugar old fashioned with extra cherries . Then we ordered two deserts a coconut cream brûlée and a pichstasio cake. We all liked the crème brûlée best. Stephanie was extremely attentive and we wanted for nothing. We will ask for her next time as well. Thank you chef and Stephanie for a lovely evening.

We have had 2 wonderful dining experiences previously at Cafe Violette. This past Saturday was a…read moretravesty. We arrived shortly before our reservation and were seated immediately. After 10+ minutes I went back to the host to see where our server was. We had drinks and ordered salads and our entrees. 35 minutes after arriving. The salads came out and were good. After 45 minutes, we still had not received our entrees. The bartender said they were coming, the server said they were coming. We finally asked for our bill. The server said no charge and we left without seeing our entrees. When pressed the server said they were short handed and it really wasn't that long. Bottom line is there are too many good restaurants in BR to deal with this kind of service at these prices. Never again.

The bar was super crowded due the 4th of July weekend. The bartenders had a little difficulty keeping up with the crowd and orders. This is probably not how it is on a non-holiday weekend. The selection of craft beer was good and there is a full bar. There was a small kitchen serving Mexican. We tried the nachos which were tasty. We sat an outside table and listened to the live music. It was a little dirty and no one ever wiped the tables which is the reason for the 4 stars.

The vibe is very relaxed; this is perfect for a romantic date or to come and enjoy some good wine and delicious appetizers with good company. Service is great and we learned so much about their menu and social events, such as puzzle night and silent book clubs during the month; and how many things on their menu are locally sourced. They have an IG and FB pages so you can check out what exciting events are coming up.

Cool little place with very friendly staff, a decent beer selection, and some pretty good wine-based cocktails.

They also have a food truck but we didn't try it, so can't comment.

Note, however, that if you're looking for private secluded spaces, this may not be the spot. We were able to be seated immediately upon arrival, and our server was promptly by the table to go over the menu with us. We each ordered a cocktail and the skillet chocolate chip cookie. The skillet chocolate chip cookie arrived a bit before both of our drinks, which was a bit odd considering we had waited probably 15 minutes without drinks. As far as the cocktails, we ordered the Cynar Old Fashioned and the Buffalo Heard. The old fashioned was good, though I didn't notice the flavor of the Cynar at all. It was very dry, which I like, but may not be for you if you like a sweeter old fashioned. The Buffalo Heard was light and refreshing, with a nice bit of the bourbon shining through. Overall, the cocktails were quite good. It's a unique spot, and has a lot of potential. It appears they are still ironing out a few kitchen/bar/service kinks, but I think these are all small things. Look forward to visiting again soon.
