Everything was absolutely perfect. The drinks were delicious and perfectly made . Our governor server for dinner was incredibly professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and very friendly. We started with appetizers. I had the blue point oysters that were fresh and absolutely delicious. My partner had the beet salad with orange sections and again it was delicious. We shared a pasta dish with broccoli rabbi and sausage.,  again it was outstanding. We also shared the pork Oso, Bucco ; delicious!! The food, service and ambience are all so perfect!

Wonderful family restaurant and great Italian food. Service was very personable. Only complaint is that it does not serve wine, you must bring your own.

Lunch at Violette’s was very delicious and enjoyable. Such a cool vibe, great service, a plethora of meals to choose from, and great drink options, including mocktails. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to return soon.

We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday and had a wonderful meal. Ernesto was our server and he was outstanding. He was incredibly attentive and helpful when navigating the gluten free options for my husband. We were greeted at the door, by a host/manager, who said happy birthday to my daughter. Everyone is always nice at Eno Terra. It’s a favorite of ours!

The team at the restaurant is amazing. The food is great and delivered to the table in short order ( no pun intended). Chris and his team always do a fine job at this establishment. From your first drink at the beautiful bar to the fine dining at the table you can't beat this place for a family get together or a business meeting. I would recommend this restaurant for any true foodies who appreciate the work that goes into this presentation of dining excellence!

From the pleasant greeting from the valet and then being greeted by the host who made you feel so welcomed you know you were in for a night of unwinding and enjoyment. So many options anyone with any diet issues can eat here comfortably. The high-quality food with nice protein/fresh vegetable portions is absolutely delicious. Thanks Chef As for the dessert & wine list just exceptional. You can’t go wrong with the ambience which has a charm of its own. Now as for the service you can’t ask for any better. Everyone made sure your table had enough water, bread or anything else you needed. As for our very nice waitress Anna, with her warm smile she was a pleasure making sure you got your food exactly the way you liked. Great personality…. This restaurant is a true gem and worth the ride.

    Cocktails were on point. Starter salad was delicious with candied walnuts and poached pears in a light dressing. Pizzas were good. Very cool vibe. Would go back again. Best of luck to that owners.
