Violette’s Vegan

This place is absolutely amazing!!! The food is amazing!!! I am so thankful I found this place!

The past few times I’ve been to this location I’ve received very good service. The ambiance is inviting, the prices are reasonable, but the food is not A+.
–Red rock nachos ARE tasty, yet portions were way off the last time I went. For the price of the nachos, I’m hoping they adjusted those portions.
–Red rockin’ chili is very good, and could possibly pass as a meat dish! Worth it.
–Sunrise superman should not be listed on the menu as a «bacon» substitute. It doesn’t taste like bacon. As a matter of fact did not have any notably tasty flavors at all. Pass.
–Positively pad Thai was too sweet and also thick and grainy in texture. Pass.
Although I had a couple dishes I didn’t love, I will be returning to try out other dishes from the menu!

Such a beautiful spiritual vibe going on in this restaurant.

Violettes gets 3 stars for they’re lack of service. I’ve eaten here 3 times and enjoyed the food each time. But the service is never very good… better waitresses would do this restaurant a world of good. Not that they’re not pleasant, but timely service is good service. Also each time I’ve dined here my food comes out luke warm. What the heck? And my smoothie was also Luke warmish which isn’t a biggie but everyone likes a cold smoothie. Cmon Violettes get it together. Your giving the carnivours a reason to hate on veganism. I want to love Violettes, but as of now I only like them.

I had high hopes for this place and it just didn’t live up to it. I walked into the restaurant, the waitress made definite eye contact with me but didn’t greet and went back to doing something behind the register. Ordered online and asked for chili cheese fries instead of regular fries for my included side in the comments, but I guess they don’t read the comments because I still got regular fries. On top of that the fries were soggy.
Worst part of all was that the food was just not good. I got the philly cheese sandwich. Bland and boring, this place evidently doesn’t know what spices are. This is the sort of cardboardy food that makes people afraid of going vegan. There’s definitely good vegan food elsewhere in Vegas, skip this place.

Service was a tad slow. My boyfriend had the nachos and they were amazing. I had the pancakes. They were yummy, but I wasn’t a fan of the syrup, but I’m just picky about my syrup. In my own opinion, the smoothie was a little bit overpriced, & I would have liked it to be colder. I’ve already told friends about the place and they have already visited. I will definitely be back.

Ordered the «steak» sandwich and Mac & cheeze. The sandwich had a very weird aftertaste couldn’t get through the 2^nd half. The Mac and cheeze was ok but not the best. The breadcrumbs were big enough to be considered croutons. Not sure I’d order from here again.

I took the drive only to be disappointed. Their ads all over various health conscious magazines say in bold letters «soy-​free». Only to be told, «we are working on it»…however, they accommodated me by putting together something I could eat lol. The very small portioned happy chick patty on a bed of tortilla chips lol. Oh my… when will health conscious places be as they say they are… it was tasty. But I overheard a table behind me questioning ingredients in their food which made me uncomfortable. The place is super cool and the people are nice. But health is a serious matter and soy free is a huge new movement. Don’t play with it like so. Virtually nothing is soy free so not cool… oh except the juices ha ha.

I have been a fan of Violets for over a year.
Today was terribly disappointing. The service was lacking and beyond slow. The young ladies working there had no obvious experience in customer service. Personality could have gotten them a better review but a slew of customers were unhappy with the disappearing help, dirty tables and sloooooow, cold food.
With vegan options popping up around the area, I probably will not return to Violets. I will go drop my hard earned cash where others understand the value of repeat business and a smile in a tough moment.

Well now that I am eating Vegan visiting familiar cities and states have become new adventures because I have to find Vegan options. Well this is the first establishment the wife and I tried in Las Vegas and we were not disappointed. The owner of the establishment is Cindy Violette who is a former World Series of Poker champion back in 2004… so I found that interesting. So when we walked in we seated ourselves and waited about 10 minutes before our waitress came to our table. The establishment was very clean and the customer service was good.
Now to the food… I had the Rise n Shine Platter which came with Seitan Sausage… which was surprisingly delicious… Yukon Gold Potatoes… sauteed veggies… Tofu Scramble with Daiya Cheese… and Toast. My wife had the Sunrise Superman which consisted of a BLT Sandwich… home fries and Sauteed Veggies. We had to wait 10 more minutes after we finished our meal to get the check but that was fine… LOL!!! The food was awesome and for 25 bucks for the both of us it was definitely worth it.

This was our first visit to this place. It is a fairly decent size place and there are plenty of seats. The menu has a lot to choose from so it took us a little bit to decide on foods.
We did order fresh juices and that took a while to get. There was one girl working the front taking orders, running the register, serving all the tables and making the drinks which explained why our food was coming out before we got our drinks even though we orders the drinks long before the food.
All the food we ordered was amazing. We had a curry bowl, the club, and two appetizers which were all fantastic. We ended up taking food home and it was just as good the next day.
Other then the slow service in getting things going everything was great and this is a place we would go to again and recommend. I know other reviews dos not have as great an experience but I say give them a little time and try them again. A place that is Vegan with all the selections they have is hard to find in this town. Everything is made to order so expect it to take some time, but understand you are paying for organic and quality.
I recommend this place and we will be back…

We visited this establishment on Labor Day weekend 2015. It is cute, clean, and little laid back. One of the staff was a bit uptight but that’s probably because she was the only server.
She was real friendly and frazzled juggling 5 other tables. We were surprised that the other woman behind the counter completely disappeared. We ordered our dishes to go and after 20 minutes, she went to the kitchen to find out what was taking so long (before the kitchen door shut, her shouting started).
Everything was packaged very neatly. We ordered Zucchini Zen Sticks, the Philly with French Fries, California Dreamin’ Bacon Cheeze Burger with Mac N’ Cheeze, and dessert. Mind you this is for two people heading back to Orange County; this is our road trip food to last us thru traffic.
We paid at the counter and the server kept apologizing for the wait. We were not in any hurry but she was kind to acknowledge the wait.
All the food was a delight. We only ate half of everything because we wanted to still have a nice treat of eating it again the next day.

The food here is delicious! We ordered the sassy wings and the backyard barbeque. The wings were delicious but pretty spicy. The backyard barbeque sandwich was OUTSTANDING. I highly recommend the sandwich! We also got the black bean and potato salads as sides. The potato salad was okay, but the black bean salad was PERFECT. Choose the black bean salad if you’re debating between the two options.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is also awesome. The walls are colorful with gorgeous artwork. The general manager is extremely friendly and attentive. Overall we had an awesome experience and will definitely be coming back!

As a traveling vegan I get to eat quite the variety. And this place definitely has some great items… but there was one thing I wish I could have gotten a refund on it was so unappealing :-/
Let’s start with the good:
* The gluten-​free waffles are GREAT! They have a coconut whipped cream on them! And with butter, syrup, and bananas, I’ve SMASHED these down a few times!
* The sausage seitan is a hands down winner.
* The corn chowder is some of the best I’ve ever had.
Now the bad…
* The country classic… super disappointing. And the tempeh part of it was flat out gross. Tasteless potatoes. The greens weren’t flavorful either. Yuck.
* The coffee has never been good. And I’m perfectly happy with the pump coffee from Whole Foods coffee bar with some soy milk.
* Dry cornbread. Unless that’s your thing.
* Bacon tempeh isn’t good at all
The restaurant itself is cute and relaxing. Painted with bright colors.
The waitresses I’ve had feel more like nice girls getting your food than skilled waitresses who are on top of customer service. And I’ve had that kind of customer service at a few other vegan places. Almost as though being a hipster/​trendy dressed vegan is enough to work at a place like this. Smile, know the menu, check on me twice, and speak up so I can hear you and see that you’re confident and friendly!
If you’re vegan, I’d stop in. But definitely ask what’s the most popular on the menu.

I went here shortly after opening and wasn’t really thrilled with my experience, but chalked it up to a new business working out the kinks. I have since been messaged not once but twice by management and ownership to remove my pictures (and the review was hinted at, too) because the dishes «are no longer on our menu.» I spoke to another Unilocaler who said she’d also been contacted about removing photos of an order that was visually unappealing. Don’t let it come out of your kitchen if you aren’t proud of it!
It’s been quite some time since my last visit, and I’ve incorporated more meatless meals into my diet– so I came back for the amazing-​looking Nature Girl salad. You’ll notice my photo looks nothing like others posted, and I’m not taking it down. That’s what I was served.
I called in my order and was told it’d be ready in about 10 minutes. I showed up in 15, and then waited an extra 5 for it to be ready. From the looks of it, they waited until I showed up to assemble it. There were no sprouts or tempeh bacon, and the dressing was flavorless. I realize presentation isn’t going to be on par when you opt for takeout, but this was a half-​assed salad. I enjoyed the herbed tofu and the plethora of nuts, but was extremely disappointed with the salad I received versus what others have had.
I wonder how many other people received less-​than-​perfect orders, posted photos, and were then asked to remove them.

I really wanted to like this place since there are very few vegetarian places here in Vegas. The food is very bland. I ordered the club and my partner ordered a blt. They didn’t prepare the tofu very well. No flavor whatsoever. If it weren’t for the pesto and avocado in my sandwich I would feel like I was eating cardboard. The only thing I really enjoyed was the coconut cake. So good! It is probably the only think I would come for again.
The service on the other hand was awesome! Mike Scott was our server. He was very kind and attentive. I was originally going to give this place 3 stars but the impeccable service changed my mind.

Seeing as this was basically the only vegan place in driving distance, I’m happy to say that it was fantastic! Me and my non vegan boyfriend absolutely loved the food.
We got nachos to share, he got a wrap and I got the California dream burger. I think for most the burger would be considered small.
My only criticism is the key lime pie I got. Really didn’t like it, and I’ve had some amazing vegan key lime pie before.
So, while I don’t recommend that, I still give this place 5 starts. The rest of our food was just that great.

This is a great spot for vegan/​organic/​non-​gmo eats here in vegas. Coming from Seattle, I have found the vegan/​vegetarian options are very limited in this city. This spot is a cute little gem and the perfect place for anyone who is conscious about where their food comes from.
The food is great; however, I do feel like the service could have been better. Our waitress was very nice but I had to consistently ask her for things because she kept on forgetting (forgot to bring us a smoothie menu, had to ask twice). Other than that, it was great!

I’m new to vegetarianism/​veganism so I don’t have much to compare to, but why wouldn’t I give 5-​stars to a place where service, appetizer, meal, dessert, and drinks were all on point! The little spot has a calming quiet environment, met with friendly service with a smile.
I started with an appetizer of Bronson sticks, I believe it was baked Tempeh (similar to tofu, but harder in texture) with a special buffalo sauce– friggin delicious. Next I had a Natures Girl salad, be careful there is enough for two! I can’t begin to tell you how satisfying this meal was, for me, it was the tamari roasted almonds and herb tofu that did it. You’ve probably read enough reviews to know you have to try a slice of chocolate fudge cake, yeah, I had it, but my fat butt also had to try the coconut-​lemon cake. I regret getting two slices because holy-​MOLY they don’t just give you a «slice» it’s more like ¹⁄₃ of the cake type of slice lol. Hands down, the chocolate cake was amazing– and I DONT EVEN LIKE CHOCOLATE (that much anyway). I would have preferred the lemon cake to have a more robust lemon flavor but unfortunately the coconut stole the show.
Another little perk is Violette delivers! Funny enough I found out about this place from a meat-​eater who loved it & recommended it to me. Definitely returning for more delicious vegan treats!

I’ve ate at many vegetarian/​vegan restaurant especially since my bf was vegetarian for 10years. The restaurant was okay.
We ordered the nachos and we also ordered the hippie chick burger.
Service was so good. Our server was so nice. I wish I remembered her name.
The food lacks in flavor.
The Hippie Chick Burger. I don’t know it needed something. A sauce perhaps? The collard greens that was served with the burger was so bland. I mean I know you want it to be healthy but healthy can have flavor too. There could of been like type of sauce drizzled on top of it like a lemon vinaigrette or something.
I know this dish could have potential especially since I know they make their condiments by scratch like their ranch. I’m sure they can come up with a recipe.
The nachos were delicious but the vegan cheese sauce got cold quick.
