We had the most wonderful 5 Course American Omakase Dinner at Violet! We started with Hamachi Crudo, then had the most amazing large Scallop with local asparagus with a truffle broth, then beautifully seared Foie Gras with lentils. Next we had a grilled lamb loin with the most delicate potato purée, artichokes and house demi. Lastly, we had a rich chocolate cremeux with raspberries and plums. The service was amazing and Chef William came out to say hi and sat and chatted with us at the end. I would highly recommend this neighbourhood gem!
