Great Little French Restaurant

by database at Citysearch

This little French "hideaway" is a great find! The food is always wonderful and it's easy to get to off of 85. Love the piano music, too. Never had a bad experience there and always take business clients there when I can. I highly recommend The Violette!

• Pros: Great Food and Great Prices

Worst food I've had in a long time

by lmwilliams1 at Citysearch

Ordered veggie crepe - bland and strange vegetable mixture. Flavored with tarragon which was overpowering. Couldn't eat it. Service was lazy. I was with a group for lunch and no one was impressed. Too other many good places in Atlanta to eat so won't be back.

New local favorite!

by qutegirl at Citysearch

Surprising menu with a nice wine list. It just comes easy to them here. You get the feeling that this is what they were put on this earth to do. Don't get me wrong, this place wasn't perfect, but on a scale of 1-10 I would give them a 9 over some of the more reviewed French restaurants nearby.

• Pros: 5 star for 1/2 the price
• Cons: Server was too good! I was in shock

Wow, true excellents.. U will regret not going

I expected another French Res. want a be. What I got was not only the real thing, but the best French food I have ever had in the states. My wife was so happy that I took her there. Beaware, It is a little different. There were poeple that were formal, so there for Prom and some people that were in jeans. They have a mixture of social levels, which is fantastic, when you consider the prcie for one person is around 20 dollars. Thats right, it didn't cost one hundred dollars per person, its around 20 Dollars.

You can't go wrong with the real deal.

• Pros: It is the Best Food you will ever eat. Amazing!!!
• Cons: I felt bad for not paying more.

Great date place

by DCB269 at Citysearch

This is an outstanding place for a date or special occasion. Nice wine list (they'll suggest some good ones if you are unsure). Tasty and pretty reasonably-priced for the food quailty. The atmosphere is nice, and they often have live piano music. "Casual-sheik" kind of feel and a great staff, too. A can't miss!

• Pros: Great french food, low snob-factor
• Cons: Occasional parking challenges

yummy brunch, great atmosphere

by JRebuh at Citysearch

A friend and I had a delicious brunch and very pleasant experience at Violette recently. (ATLrick J must have gone on an off day!). We didn't order the eggs benedict, so I can't speak to that, but the Grand Marnier French Toast was fabulous. Service was efficient yet friendly and personable, and the feel of the place very provincial French (impressionist-like paintings, wood tables, floor to ceiling windows). I look forward to returning in warmer weather to enjoy dining al fresco on their patio. The coffee was fine to us...not the best I've ever had, but very good just the same.

• Pros: nice variety of brunch items, good service and atmosphere
• Cons: out-of-the-way location

Romantic Spot and Food is excellent

by dianein30319 at Citysearch

We had a 7:00 reservation. Easy to park even though it was busy. Greeted and seated right away. You could tell there were a lot of regulars because the staff knew other table by name which is a good sign. Server was not overbearing but efficient. We just found this place and thought we would try something different. Food was excellent and great wine selection. Would like to try this place for lunch or even brunch.

• Pros: Service, parking, wine!!
• Cons: hard to find

AVOID this place for BRUNCH!

by ATLrickJ at Citysearch

We have been to Violettes for dinner and loved it however they sure have missed the boat when it comes to Sunday brunch. I can see why at 12:30pm this past Sunday there were only 3 tables with patrons. The french toast was the worst we have ever tasted. IHOPs would beat them hands down. We ordered Brioche Basket with butter & fruit preserves. The fruit preserves consisted of those little packages of Apple and Grape Jelly. OEUF BENEDICTE = disaster. Hard well done eggs and this was on 3 seperate orders at our table. Coffee = cold and weak. We have had better on some airlines. Service = POOR. We had to keep asking for items that should have been on the table ie salt, pepper. The cream for our coffee = those little sealed cups. I mean this is a french restaurant ... you mean to tell me they do not have fresh cream? AVOID this place at all cost for brunch. You would enjoy the Waffle House next door and most likely receive better serivce.

• Pros: Ambience is great as well as the parking.
• Cons: Food and service for brunch is to be missed.

It's good if you like that type of food.

I don't know much about French food but this place seems like it offers pretty authentic french cuisine. We had someone play the piano and the service was great. It may just be my taste buds but I thought their food was okay - not that impressed.

• Pros: Nice setting and servers
• Cons: Wasn't that different from the usual restaurants

delicious, inviting and memorable

by francesfr at Citysearch

What can I say? This is my favorite French restaurant in town. It's affordable, absolutely delicious and inviting. One would think that affordable would mean giving up on little luxuries. Not here. I was pleasantly surprised when I came for lunch and spent $7 for a white table cloth, sit down lunch with exquisite food. I had the crepe of the day with rice and sauteed carrots. If you'd like a quick escape from the usual loud, busy lunchtime eateries Violette is the perfect vacation. It's elegance in a dressy casual enironment with a friendly staff. Not pretentious whatsoever. Can't wait to see what dinner is like.

• Pros: food, value, atmosphere
