Violet's

Laidback-chic restaurants are have finally arrived to meet the needs of the Richmond’s increasingly young and affluent residents. Following suit, Violet’s is the first among equals, serving an enticing menu of raw-bar gems, hearty entrées, and cocktails. Done up in hues of blue and green and outfitted with a wraparound walnut bar, it has the same intimate and lively vibe as nearby sib—Fiorella—and is ideal for date night.
Fresh, chilled, and tender lobster with Meyer lemon-mayonnaise; barbecue-glazed meatloaf with mashed potatoes; and sticky toffee-carrot cake are menu favorites for fitting reason. Don't miss out on the carefully crafted cocktails, like the highly Instagrammable Violet Skies, infused with strawberry brandy, mezcal, and crème de violette.
