| - We've been to Violette's 3 times now, each on a Sunday morning for breakfast, so this review is strictly based on this specific day and course.
Firstly, thank you so much for opening a vegan restaurant in Las Vegas, it's amazing to see so many options starting to open here in town.
But based on our experiences, I don't know that I'll be back again. To start, and this is strictly my personal style opinion, the restaurant decor is straight out of the 90's...earthy peace-loving theme, kind of hippie meets vegan feel. It doesn't feel modern at all, it feels like an old tired cafe.
Secondly, as far as breakfast goes, the food is just ok. I'd like to see them not use so many processed meat/cheese substitutes like Fieldroast sausage and Daiya, I could make this food at home better. I would also like to see a better side to some of the breakfast options other than steamed kale. I like kale but plain steamed kale isn't very appetizing or tasty in the morning, it's also not creative at all.
Third, and most important, every time we've visited they have been out of something. It's been muffins, mint, pineapple and tofu...Yes, tofu! They ran out of tofu scramble today! Which is really odd since there is a Vons in the plaza!
Lastly, the service is mediocre. Servers are friendly but unknowing of what items are currently not available, again there always seems to be something out of stock here. The preparation time it takes to make your food order is quite long. Is there only one person in the kitchen who is still trying to figure things out?
Again, I'm happy for a west side vegan restaurant but based on service and creativity, in both decor and food, I will most likely drive downtown for Sunday morning brunch from now on.
