Violette's Cellar - Staten Island

We've been coming here for a while now and it never disappoints. We brought friends for the first time and they were blown away. Not one meal disappointed, and the staff is a major part of our repeat (almost weekly) visits.

We had a reservation for my husband’s birthday. When we got there, they didn’t have a table. The food is overly priced for the small (extremely small) portions. I ordered the eggs Benedict on a croissant and it was literally two tiny croissants cut open with an egg, sauce and crumbled bacon bits for $17 with no sides. Terrible. The owners really need to consider the menu pricing. This isn’t Manhattan.

I thought our meal was terrific, and our waiter was very good as well. Only negative is, when we sat down we were asked if we wanted sparkling or flat water we said flat. We were then charged $8 for a bottle of water when the bill came. Most restaurants i have gone to will charge for sparkling, but not for flat (which we assumed was tap water which is what we wanted). A little deceptive, but i would be wiser the next time i go.

Great meatballs and steak. Plus the restaurant supports cancer research so that makes it our go-to place

Always a treat. Waiters and bar tenders are fabulous. Food is outstanding! Love it there.
