| - So, Violette's has stepped up their game. I tried it out a few times within the first few months they were open, then again about 3 months ago, and was disappointed w/ the service and w/ inconsistent food quality. I'm a member of a local vegan facebook group where a couple of months ago, there was a very long thread of many of us disappointed and wishing it was better. I neglected to write a bad review at first because they were new, and because we do need more vegan options in the city - but at the same time we also shouldn't be sacrificing quality.
Well - I can't say anything for the service, because I haven't dined again, but in the past week I ordered delivery and take out and thoroughly enjoyed both.
Delivery Order - Philly Cheesteak w/ side of Chilly Cheese Fries. This was really good. I believe they use Seitan as the steak which was season nicely w/ the cheeze sauce, onions, & peppers on a fresh whole wheat roll. The chilly cheese fries were also delicious, and the fries stood up to the cheese and chilly even with being in the car for a bit and in an enclosed container.
Take Out Order - Backyard BBQ, Chilly Cheese Fries (again), and a slice of chocolate cake (how could I resist?! It was RIGHT there!) I must have read the menu wrong, because I though the Backyard BBQ was BBQ Seitan w/ carmelized onions on a bed of greens (i.e. Salad) but it was actually a sandwich (with the same whole wheat roll from the philly), I believe it also had vegenaise on it. It was quite tasty! The fries again did not disappoint and neither did the cake.
I know some have complained about the slight price increase, but the food really is still quite reasonable and if the rising prices are accompanied by tastier and better quality food, I'm all for it.
Violette's - thanks for listening and upping your game. I look forward to future visits.
