Blue Violet - Edwardsville

Great atmosphere. great service. great food. always pleasant.

This was our first visit and we’d definitely go again. The cauliflower appetizer was beyond delicious. I had the duck entree and is was amazing. My only complaint is that the skin was soggy and one of the best things about restaurant duck is crispy skin! I’d order it again but make a point of requesting crispy skin. The chocolate and PB Tres Leches cake was fabulous as well. Our server was great and both a manager and a chef came out to check on us and ask how things were, which was really nice!

A wonderful meal. The menu had many delicious options. I chose the Rocket pork which was a great choice for my entree. My husband loved the duck entree, cooked perfectly. We started with delicious salads. We both like arugula and both salads had this delicious green. I had the fall salad, the best salad I’ve had in a long time. My husband enjoyed the beet salad as much as I enjoyed mine. The Cranberry French 75 was a delicious starter for a great meal. Service was great and we will be back.

Shared a few small plates and one large plate (fried rice) The pickles and tuna en croute were good. The fried rice was very good, but I never appreciate tales left on the shrimp especially when they are tempura battered and incorporated into the dish. The menus is a little limited, but we plan to come back to see if it changes with the season. Great Bourbon selection and (mostly) reasonably priced.

We love this place. The space is really pretty and the service of the staff is well timed, incredibly professional and friendly. The food is on the pricier side but every dish we have had is very well plated and the flavors are always a wonderful mix.
