A wonderful neighborhood establishment. I wanted a hamburger and my wife was game for fish and chips (nothing fancy for a Wednesday quick bite). Both were prepared perfectly! Next trip will be for the "big kids" entrees! Service was perfect. Customers were all happy including a number of kids. This is always a very good sign. We love the setting. It feels like a place that could become a habit. The fact that we can bring our dog and sit outside is another big plus. read more

I had such a delightful meal with my husband, that I decided to bring my friend to celebrate her birthday!! We both started off with blackberry mimosas! Phenomenal!! She had the French dip sandwich and I had the BLAT sandwich!! Both were amazing!! For dessert she got a Nitro stout and I got a regular mimosa and banana cream pie! So delicious!!! Our server took such great care of us!! I love the decor and vibe as well! Can't wait to come back and try more delicious food and drinks!! read more

We had breakfast since we were here as soon as it opens at 9am. The salad is very flavorful, the porches eggs for the Bene is perfect. English muffins felt like homemade. Nicx is great (I hope I spell the name correctly). Wallpaper is gorgeous. Can't wait to sit at the patio when the weather is nicer. There are other dishes that I want to try. Love this neighborhood bistro. read more

The outdoor patio is nice (though crowded) and our dog was welcome, which was nice. The food is average and pricey. We split an entree, had one appetizer, a glass of wine and a soda, and one dessert and it cost $92 with tip ($77 before tip). The service is good, but they seemed a little stretched--maybe because of the dinner rush. We wanted to walk to a place in our neighborhood, which was the appeal. read more

Hands down the best French dip I've had! I always worry about horseradish sauce because I'm not the biggest fan, but the horseradish aoli is creamy with the perfect hint of heat. LOVED it! The crispy onion straws add a nice crunch!! The side salad was light and refreshing to pair with the sandwich. Service was excellent and the vibe was so much fun!! I definitely want to swing by to try breakfast options & pastries - they were very hard to turn down!! read more

Great little restaurant located in the middle of a residential area! Street parking only but went on a weekday and parking wasn't a problem. Service is friendly and helpful! Beautifully decorated - they do offer brunch on the weekends Loved their menu lots of offerings to suit many tastebuds! I opted for their hamburger which was very good and it came with fries - Overall a good lunch and will be back to try more menu items read more

Came on a Sunday at 1pm and got seated right away! This is a cute place with a small interior but they have a large tent outside for more seating. Our server, Nick, was super attentive and super helpful! As for the food, everyone in my party liked what they got! Their desserts also look so delicious and we got a few of those too. I would highly recommend this place for a Sunday brunch or a cute date spot! read more

What a cute spot! Ambiance: Street parking. Indoor and outdoor seating with warmers so that you're toasty. The inside was super cute and definitely aligns with the name. Service: Quick and efficient. We asked for warm water, ordered another entree, etc and they were very accommodating Food: Had the chicken and waffles which were delicious! I wish the portion of the chicken was a bit bigger tho for the price. We also got the house which was good as well. Overall, cute spot that wasn't too crowded. Will come back for their other stuff especially the deviled eggs! read more

Neighborhood gem alert! We were on the hunt for a new lunch spot and stumbled upon Violet, tucked charmingly into a quiet neighborhood. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. We opted for the dog-friendly outdoor patio--partially covered and equipped with heaters for those chillier days. A nice touch! Bonus points for the separate doggie entrance on the side, which made bringing our pup a breeze. Always love when places think through the details for dog parents. The lunch menu is fresh, inviting, and even includes a solid selection of wine, sparkling options, beer, and cider. We kept it simple this time with good ol' H2O, but the drink list definitely caught our eye. We kicked things off with Not Your Grandma's Deviled Eggs--and they absolutely lived up to the name. Perfectly pickled with a creamy, well-balanced filling, and that little pickle spear crunch on top? Chef's kiss. Next, we shared the Kale & Romaine Caesar. Unique and crunchy, with capers standing in for croutons (genius!). I'd just ask for a little extra dressing next time to really bring it home. Then came the Prosciutto & Rosemary Pinsa--yes, PINSA, not pizza. The crust was perfectly cooked, and the rosemary aroma was heavenly. Crisp, savory, and deeply satisfying. Our server was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and happy to answer questions. On our way out, we peeked at the dessert case (yes, we're already planning our return). Those cannoli looked like they're ready to be our next craving. Violet is definitely on our "come back soon" list. read more

You know when you're just craving a good classic BLT? Yeah, Violet hit the spot with this craving. It wasn't overly complicated and came with everything it needed to, plus the A for avocado. I was the only customer on a weekday afternoon for lunch and there were about 3 people working, all whom provided a warm and lovely experience. The decor is super cute and makes you feel like you're invited into a well-decorated home. I love how the restaurant is situated in a neighborhood because it adds to the homey atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try their jerk chicken! read more

We were looking for a lunch spot between dentist and medical appointments in SLC, and what an amazing find Violet was, thanks to Yelp recommendations! The menu is perfect for us - my husband eats meat, while I do not - and there are plenty of meal options for vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. We ate outside on the pleasant patio, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and delicious food (hubby = B.L.T.A. and me = Violet Harvest salad), along with the attentive & personable owner. Another thing we really appreciated was the environmentally friendly boxes for our leftovers vs styrofoam or plastic. This is definitely a new favorite and we highly recommend! read more

It's in a very odd spot. It sits on a very residential road. Ambiance is just ok. It has a nice outside but the inside seems very awkward. It's not warm or comfortable and it has an awkward last supper painting with dead rockstars. Food overall was good but the chicken with the Greek salad was kinda cold. It was warm. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be hot or cold. Could have gone either way. The desserts were good especially the berry cobbler but they were served in odd Dixie cup like paper products. I would like my deserts in a real bowl or cassoulet The best part was the service. They were so kind and wonderful and did everything to make our meal the best it could. I just think some of the food could be better elevated. read more

Such a cute restaurant! My favorite color is violet, so the name by itself caught my attention. When I came here for brunch, I ordered the eggs bene which may just be the best I've had. The hollandaise sauce was absolutely incredible. The whole thing was delicious and I really appreciated the little violet sprinkles on top. As I looked around me, I noticed some violet drinks and other foods with violet sprinkles. I just love the whole violet theme! The outdoor seating was lovely and the service was wonderful. I'm excited to come back and try more things when I get the chance. read more

Violet was a cute little restaurant in the middle of a neighborhood. Our waiter Derek was really nice and a fantastic waiter. I got the Honey Hot Crispy Chicken sandwich. I upgraded my french fries to garlic fries. I enjoyed the sandwich but would do a salad for my side next time. You will have to find a parking spot on the street in the neighborhood. read more

Please consider frequenting the Violet. It's a wonderful neighborhood hidden gem. The owners are delightful, and food is delicious.

Great outdoor patio spot with lots of shade. The service was awesome! Super friendly and attentive staff. Clean and well decorated inside. They have a special dog entrance if you bring your fur baby. Lots of vegan options. The fried zucchini was amazing!! I wish I would have ordered my own instead of shared. The rest of food is where it fell short for us. I got a quinoa breakfast bowl -- the egg was suppose to be scrambled but was flat and not fluffy at all, & barely any spinach or zucchini and an overwhelming amount of quinoa. The BLT and fries were fine but not great. read more

Cute little neighborhood spot with friendly service and creative options for brunch. In town over holiday weekend and all the brunch spots in downtown SLC were booked or had 1hr plus waits. Looked for an option out of downtown and this spot popped up. No wait, nice vibe and helpful staff. The bruschetta and cobbler a la mode were my favorites. The chicken and captain crunch French toast was also fabulous. read more

My husband and I have been to Violet 3 times and each time it's been wonderful! The service is awesome and the food delicious. We have had fish and chips, jerk chicken pasta, beef stroganoff - all delicious! Don't miss their signature appetizer- deviled eggs- they are violet in color! and come with picked beet and fresh dill. Yum! Their patio is enclosed in a bubble, making it feel like an outdoor area while having the warmth from the heater. read more

Service was 5/5. They were very attentive and friendly. Breakfast burrito was bland and don't expect to find more than 3 tots max in it which was disappointing. It's basically a tortilla filled with eggs. Surprisingly expensive for how much food you get on your plate. read more

We had an enjoyed a pleasant meal here recently out on the patio. Even though it was a hot day, it was covered and there is a fan. They have live music a couple nights a week, which sounds fun. We were greeted with hospitality and the service was friendly and made you feel like they appreciated your business. Here's what we had: French dip lived up to the hype and hit the spot. Fish and chips were plentiful and crisp. Vegan BLTA was good. I secretly wished the bread were more exciting (perhaps softer and thicker sourdough) and the mayonnaise (even though we asked for regular and not vegan mayo) was not to my liking. That said, I liked the abundant tempeh and would give it a go again with the mayo on the side. It comes with fries or salad. The salad was simple but good. We didn't try the desserts but they looked delicious and we will save room next time. read more

Had brunch here with a dear friend. Small little restaurant. Overall the staff were great and friendly. Menu had many options. We ordered the fried zucchini, presentation was great, wasn't much flavor. The chicken and toast portion was somewhat small, but tasty and filling. The burrito with salad was mediocre, the pancakes were big and pretty dense than normal pancakes but overall pretty tasteful! Their coffee is on point! Delish! read more

Expensive tasty lunch with a unique menu making it hard to choose what to eat. I ordered the Sausage Kale Soup (because I was hungry), which surprisingly came out nice and hot. The menu said it was in a creamy broth. It was more broth than cream. A nice light soup. Next I had the House Quiche, it came with a side of mixed greens with a vinaigrette dressing. As far as salad dressing goes..they didn't ask and I forgot to ask what options they had. I like my dressings on the side because most of the time salads are drenched in too much dressing, but this side sald was almost the perfect amount. I wasn't a fan of the House Quiche. It tasted old and barely warm. The crust was hard, heavy and cold, not warm and flaky like most Quiches are. The egg part was fine (but barely warm). Chilaquiles with scrambled eggs were what my daughter had and The Big Mock Burger with Bacon and Fries is what my grandson had. I asked how his burger was he said it was his 2nd favorite burger. Pearsecco came in a CAN! Who in the world drinks a Pearsecco in a can... Not Me! Why didn't they warn us their drinks come in a can? Here is your warning their drinks come in cans. Drinking out of a can changed the taste. Just nasty. My grandson had the Big Mock Burger. I asked him how it tasted and he said good, it's my 2nd favorite burger of all time. When we were driving home we were talking about our lunch and my grandson said he ended up not liking the burger after all because half way though he said it was burnt and he couldn't finish eating it. So I guess the burger got knocked off his most loved burger list in the valley. Not Your Grandma's Deviled Eggs were an after thought. They were fine but you could tell they weren't that fresh. They have such a unique mouth watering menu, I think if we go early next time we will have a better experience of having the food come out fresh, and now we know drinks come in a can, we can just have water. read more

Good food. Cute place . Please bring back ur soups!! Especially the sausage soup!!!!!!

We stopped in for a business meeting about six months ago. We loved this quaint little place in the heart of a neighborhood. The service was on point, and the food?! So delicious!! On Halloween we needed somewhere my son could get some real food in before the crazy that comes with nine year olds. He said it was the best pasta he's ever had (except mine haha!) the server was fun and entertaining. He brought out a delicious side of their red sauce in case the butter noodles weren't doing the trick. Good call! That sauce was divine. I personally had the Greek Burritos and a French dip each time. Both were so good!! Go visit them. You won't regret it! read more

Great food and vibe. Excellent wait staff. We dine year round and always pleased! Love the patio!

Really great little lunch spot addition to the sugarhouse area. Great vegan/vegetarian options with really luscious desserts. My only critique was the kale salad, protein addition was amazing, but the dressing and texture of the salad could have used more ompphhhh. read more

Since my first visit ive already been back at least three times. This cute little restaurant is nestled in a neighborhood with an adorable outdoor patio thats shaded with lots of ambience and plants. The inside has a very funky wallpaper & last supper mural. I love their jerk chicken pinsa with ranch for dipping. They have consistently great service and quality to their food. I love all their fun soda flavors as well. They have a small baked goods section thats ever changing with fresh new pastries and goodies post meal. I'll definitely continue going back! read more

I used to come here pretty often when it was named Stratford Proper. I haven't been since it was renamed. I was a bit confused when I looked up the location but I recognize the interior, minus the new wallpaper. In the past, it was one of my favorite places to eat. Sometimes they would have multi course meals with wine pairings as well. I've moved away but I'll forever have fond memories of this amazing little spot. read more

Fantastic service and good! Would definitely come back again! My wife and I absolutely loved violet

Violet is newer so I am taking that into consideration. I appreciate the creativity to add more seating with the tent outside. All of the servers were pleasant. We had the French dip and the mahi mahi sandwich and both were fairly underwhelming. Not bad by any means. But for the price we definitely were left wanting more. I think giving this another try for just brunch may be better since it seems like that is what they are more suited for. And definitely give it a go if you're looking for a vegan friendly option. It was a positive enough experience that I will happily try it again. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Service was excellent. Highly recommend if looking for a local eatery!

After eating half of my prinsa, as I was boxing it up, I picked up the other half to find 3-4 small white worm shaped figures (maggots) crawling across the plate and on my food. Even after this, they still had us pay for my partners meal. It was quite disgusting and I cannot recommend anyone to go there read more

Overall a good, average meal! The food was a decent price and was good although we still felt a bit hungry after. We wish we could've had some sides with the flatbreads or something but it was still good. The reason for the 4 stars is because of the ambiance and wait staff. They had live music here and the porch is great. read more
