We eat at a lot of vegan restaurants, as my husband was told by his cardiologist that he must be vegan! His health has improved because of it. So, when on vacation I look for good vegan restaurants. I'm a firm believer in healthy can (and should) be tasty! Many vegan restaurants are just okay. Violette's Vegan is quite delicious!!!
The ambience is nice - pleasant and very colorful. We came for dinner yesterday and ordered Sassy Wings (BBQ seitan) and the nachos as appetizers. Both were good - especially loved the Sassy Wings! The Yelp offer provides one free Red Rock chili - meaty with pinto and black beans - also good! The entree ordered was The Godfather - spaghetti with meatballs served with salad and garlic bread to die for - small sourdough slices that were crusty and flavorful. Two pieces came with the order and my husband ordered four more to go! My daughter and I ordered sides of Mac & cheese with breadcrumbs, French fries, mashed potatoes with gravy, and Southwestern bean and corn salad with red onion and a lime vinaigrette - tasty. I usually don't like vegan Mac & Cheese - this was good! I got a few of my daughter's fries, spooned Red Rock Chili on it and ordered a side of their cheeze to recreate the chili cheeze fries on the menu - tasty!
I think Breakfast is only served on the weekend, so we were in luck. We had to come back for more, so made it our Father's Day Brunch location. We hit the jackpot in that they were giving Fathers half off their meal - too good! Sassy Wings were part of the Brunch menu - yay! We also got the Yelp offer of Red Rock chili and it was a huge bowl that came with corn bread. There were specific menu items as well as build your own breakfast choosing from 3,4, or 5 categories with accompanying prices. Offerings included Southwestern tofu scramble with black beans, corn, and cilantro, sausage link or patty, biscuit (definitely a homemade type - great!, and the strawberry jam was perfect - not too sweet), organic fruit (sliced strawberries, blueberries, and bananas), and home fried potatoes with onions. My daughter got the sausage muffin with cheeze and tofu - she loved it! The only addition needed was salt, and it was so nice to see pink Himalayan salt (what I use at home) on the table - perfect!
Our dinner was what we consider normal cost for three. Today with 1/2 off was awesome - all that food for $30 including tax! I tipped our waitress based on the actual cost of the food. Both waitresses on each day were really nice - Aurora and Sarah. Sorry we didn't meet the owner, who has an interesting story - first female poker champion! Whenever we come to Vegas, we'll be back!
