I chose Violet for my husband's birthday dinner because I liked the ambience and it had great reviews. Our experience was outstanding from beginning to end. They greeted us warmly, gave us a welcome taste of Lambrusco, offered great food and drink recommendations and made us feel very welcome. The owner also introduced himself to us and at the end of our meal, sat down with us and gave us a birthday toast. The car and attention to providing a first rate dining experience with no detail left out was impressive and we had a memorable, and delicious meal!

We planned a large team dinner at Revel with a set menu and it was incredible! The food was plentiful, they bent over backwards to ensure everyone's dietary needs were met (vegetarian, gluten free, no pork - we weren't a simple bunch), and everything was delicious and so plentiful, we were all beyond stuffed. Highly recommended for a large group - outstanding.
