We had a wonderful 12-person dinner for my husband’s birthday in the enclosed patio. We ordered the breads and spreads, grilled meatballs, spanakopita, horiatiki salad, deconstructed pastitsio, lamb gyros, bougatsa, and kids menus for the kids. Everything was delicious but the majority’s favorite was the pastitsio. Our server Andrea was amazing and very attentive and brought out a surprise birthday dessert and passed around sparklers for everyone to hold. The only minor inconvenience was that it was 95 degrees outside and that was not in my radar when I booked the greenery wall table in the enclosed patio area so please note that although there are ceiling fans, there is no air conditioning so it was quite warm but we made do! Thank you Violi for a great dinner!
Great first experience at Violi. I was impressed with the restaurant design - it was stunning and they must have completely gutted it when they took off the space formerly occupied by Mon Ami Gabi. Valet was 8 cause it’s difficult to find parking unless you’re wanting to walk a few minutes. The service was top notch from all staff members. The cocktails were unique with Greek twists and they even had some Greek wines. We had oysters, octopus, and hummus with beets to start followed by the deconstructed pastitsio, bronzino, broccolini, and a few desserts. I found one of the signature desserts underwhelming but the ice cream was good as was the chocolate dessert.
Went for restaurant week lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Cute atmosphere. Welcoming and friendly staff. And, to top it off, delicious, fresh food. The octopus was tender and tasty. Loved the salad. The gyro plate was beautifully served. Chocolate dessert was delicious--not too sweet, perfectly -tee. The branzino was delicious!!
Absolutely fantastic experience at Violi! The food was delicious—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or a special night out, I highly recommend Violi. Definitely a must-visit!

Very nice restaurant. We sat in the back and it was beautiful. The halibut was fluffy and delicious & my meatballs were great. The drinks weren't my favorite but the food was delicious. Darwin was our waiter & was nice
I had the pleasure of dining at this delightful restaurant for lunch yesterday. I ordered the lunch special with the Greek spanakopita and the oh so wonderful lamb gyro. Everything was seasoned beautifully. Let me tell you I had one of the best experiences because of my server. She was such a sweetheart. She asked me if I was out for a special occasion and I said I was treating myself for working hard this week. I know it’s probably uncommon but I do eat alone when I want to celebrate milestones or successes because life is worth celebrating. Anyway, after my meal my server surprised me with the cutest dessert. I just really appreciate service workers who go out of their way to make their customers feel special. The food was really yummy, the decor was marvelous, and the service was 10/10. You guys get a round of applause from me .
I had such a great time at this Greek restaurant! I loved the spin they put on spanakopita, they made it look like a samosa, it was so tasty and perfect for sharing. The shrimp was really good too, cooked just right. The staff was super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the mood for some delicious Greek food with a fun twist!
