“My wife and I are on a cross-country driving trip and she picked Violette for our dinner in Atlanta. We are both so glad that she did. The premises are very nice, a bit quirky (the original owner actually built the place himself). But a comfortable, interesting yet intimate environment. Service was attentive but a bit inexperienced. The food was superb, wonderful fresh ingredients, beautifully presented, exquisitely prepared and seasoned. One thing that took us a bit aback is that unlike most upscale French restaurants, the servings are very generous. In no way did this compromise quality, everything was superb. We split the salmon rillette appetizer and it was plenty for both of us. Likewise, an Alsacian salad split between two was a generous serving for both of us. My wife had the salmon filet; I had the fruit de mer in puff pastry. My wife raved about her entree and mine was spectacularly good (and big enough for two).”
