Beautifully quirky decor and a great value set lunch. Mango scallops absolutely divine and the barramundi delicious. Would have liked a lighter dessert option but passion fruit tarts were yum! The blood orange and strawberry infused iced water was an inspired touch. Service was faultless and with a smile. I'll definitely be back for lunch again!
Excellent meal and good service, will definitely return. A good extensive menu, the food was great. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening, the restaurant also has a lovely ambience. Just a shame they closed a little early.
We had great service and delicious food (scallops, lobster soup, seabass and beef cheek) tonight.
Very nice lunch during the week. Great selection for menu and flexible choices. Good value and tasty. Would love to return with a group in the evening.
I went to Violet Herbs for lunch with two friends and we enjoyed the dining experience. The food was just right in terms of the portion and was good value for money. The service staff was knowledgeable when asked about the items on the menu and was attentive to our needs.
The dishes good, portion just right except we were disappointed that there was no set for weekends , why ? This is where most dinners will come . However , service excellent.
Food was good and enjoyed the additional palette cleanser that came w the lunch set menu. Portions weren't huge but def adequate for anyone with a decent appetite
Great service and great food. The waiters were friendly and attentive, and gave us a great dining experience. Food was great of good quality and portion with unique taste.
It's a cozy restaurant. Delicate food. Good service. I think the dessert menu is a bit too limited to chocolate based though. Nice experience overall.
Casual, affordable, value for money. Quality of food matches up to the price.
Excellent set lunch menu, lots of choice, a quiet but buzzy atmosphere. Was very please with my scallops starter, seafood pasta and some excellent creme brûlée.
The food at Violet Herbs food was good, but the restaurant was empty. The service was fantastic and we loved the Jerusalem Artichoke soup and the red miso cod.
Attentive service. One of the best French fine dining at reasonable prices. and the quality of the food is so good. So tasty. Highly recommend the foie gras.
Delicious food, excellent service, nice environment! Highly recommend to you!
Service is good with explanation on each course served. Food is with quality and tasteful. A bit pricey though - depends on what you order- can range from $80 to $100 per person for a 3 course meal (foie gras, soup, beef). Location is acceptable - Just a 5 mins walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT. One area to improve is the Aircon - it's pretty hot, it would be nice if the place is cooler (the last time I went - Aircon broke down), today it was ok but warm. Overall a nice dining experience.
Great food with great ambience. Would definitely recommend this place.
Fantastic food, stylish interior and very service minded and knowledgable staff! We had the 4 coursed set dinner at 65£ and it was worth every cent! Highly recommended!!!!
Amazing service, stellar food. Was a quiet night (Labour Day Monday) and the staff were very attentive and took the time to explain the menu and each dish in detail. Not overdone, though. Just right.
Excellent service - very attentive and knowledgeable wait staff We ordered the 6 and 8 course degustation menu - the food portion was just nice and the food tasted awesome! My favourite dishes were the truffle foie gras and the miso cod dish. Would highly recommend this restaurant!
GREAT ITEMS; sherbet between appetiser and mains, miso cod, wagyu beef cheek. Average items: scallop appetiser, quail tower, yam strudel nice place and environment. friendly staff too. :)
My experience at Violet Herb was underwhelming. For the cost of the dishes, I was expecting better quality food. The deco in the restaurant is tacky and for a Friday night, the restaurant of that size with so little customers speaks for the lack of quality in their food. I will not be returning to Violet Herb again.
Good food, nice place, great service! Was served by Mr Chandran, attentive and friendly. Food is great, probably portion could be bigger. Will certainly be back.
Great food and dining experience. Staff are polite and explain each dish before serving. They also take the tendency to check if we want to order any more dishes. One point to note is that they failed to refill water.
Quality of food is very good. The staff explained all the food to us when serving. We went on a weekday night. Some additional food were served at no cost like starter bread and sorbet before maincourse
The food was very good. They changed my main course because it was extremely salty without any problem. The service was great however it would be better if they could get some cushions ready as back rest for smaller ladies. The sofa seat was very wide and I am not tall so the it was quite uncomfortable for my back.
My boyfriend and I went for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant was very quiet, and the staff were very quick to respond to us. We ordered ala-carte items as the dinner set menu isn't available on Friday nights. We were offered some bread and a tasting portion of mash potato with some kind of olive seasoning. We had the Truffle Foie Gras for appetizer, and Mushroom Cappuccino for soup. Don't worry if these sound very rich to start off the dinner, as they serve a palate cleanser before we start on our mains. For us it was the strawberry sorbet with grapefruit, very very refreshing! My boyfriend ordered the Sous Vide Duck Confit. The duck meat was very tender, it tore away from the bone so easily, and the herb potatoes were cooked well - added another layer of texture to the dish. I had the Roasted Chilean Seabass, which I really enjoyed! The seabass was nicely and slightly crusty on the top, revealing such fluffy and tender flesh just underneath. The mushrooms and bacon, together with the yuzu butter, gave extra crunch to each bite, and tied in all the flavours brilliantly. We also ordered the Violet Sensation and Violet Desire cocktails. The former was sweet, and the flavour lingers on with each sip. The latter was more minty and refreshing, with a hint of the rosemary herb. We really enjoyed our dining experience at Violet Herbs and would definitely recommend this to those who want to enjoy fine dining in a very comfortable yet not off-putting setting.
The food was quite good and the waiter explains the ingredients used on the dish upon serving them to you. Environment was okay, it get's a little noisy when there's a big crowd.
Great ambience and good service. The waiter gave good recommendation and has a good knowledge of the menu! Overall good value for money and will definitely come back
Very good service from the staff: attentive and warm. Food was fantastic - duck confit meat was moist and the miso cod was juicy with oils. Almost a full capacity on a Thursday evening. Better book in advance.
Great service, nice ambience, friendly staff. The waiters gave good recommendations and were polite even when we misunderstood the terms of the groupon voucher, and assisted cheerfully.
The warm herb bread roll served as our starters was delicious. For our mains, we had the red miso cod and duck confit and both dishes were thumbs up - presentation and taste wise. Appreciated the mango palate cleanser in between our appetizer and mains. Service could have been a tad bit more attentive though.
very good food, excellent presentation, and reasonable prices as well. Table service was fast and friendly, with great care taken to explain the dishes served.
Came during lunch time, tried the set lunch. Lovely ambiance, food was a delightful mixture of flavours that came together very nicely. A lot of thought into the dishes, including food plating. Service was good, friendly. We had a complimentary mango sorbet which was also very well done. We will be back to try the A La Carte menu.
Pleasant dinner experience, in a restored old 2-storey shophouse; nice ambience, quiet atmosphere, attentive service and interesting menu. The "signature" dishes which were recommended by our server, were indeed very tasty, eg. roasted foie gras, cold angel hair pasta, miso red cod. Desert choices were less interesting, but adequate. Overall, a very nice place for dinner..
Went dinner with wife on 1st apr but set dinner only apply to Mon - Thu. So hv to order ala carte. Ambience is good. Like the Foie Gras with poached egg, tiramisu, artichoke soup. Main course duck confit, think meat bit dry and too salty. Ebi angel hair is fine. Crowd : not full house at ground floor. 2nd floor not sure.
The environment is good. I am been served by Mr Chandan and Jake and very happy with the little surprise for my partner. Definitely will revisit for special occasion.
Quiet and peaceful place to dine at. Decent food with interesting butter made by themselves. Staff is polite as well, overall quite a nice place to eat at.
Great set lunch menu at a reasonable price. Fruit infused tap water, mint butter, and flowers on the desserts are just a few of the special touches and attention to detail. The lavender decor is not overbearing and adds a classic touch to the delicious french food atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Overall a good experience. But the bread was served late. As a result we didn't really have much time to eat it before the appetizer was served.
Love the settings. Food was lovely and they serve free appetizers and mango sorbet while waiting for our food to arrive. Hostess went around explaining the food served.
Very pleasant experience, food was good, environment was great and the servers were really polite and helpful. Would go back there to try the other items on their menu.
Great food, ambience and presentation. The air conditioning was not working very well though. Could do with one more person to serve. Would go back again.
Food and presentation is good. Considered fine dining and the ambience is nice. Prices a little on the high side but you can tell that effort is spent on each item served.
Excellent service and environment! The food is awesome, the restaurant wasn't hard to locate! It is a little expensive, but well worth it! Thank you!
Good, attentive service. Food beautifully presented and well explained. Its a pity set lunch/dinner menu are not available on weekends else could be more value for money and help to increase patronage.
Took the set lunch. Dessert options were limited and taste and palate-balance wise rather disappointing. The starters and mains were within the range of alright-to-good.
It's our first visit to yr restaurant it's wonderful. Food is awesome, service was good the place was beautiful. Will b back. My husband love the food so much. Tks
Nice atmosphere, good food. Absolutely worth trying. Some dishes have interesting combinations of ingredients but never get too experimental. We tried the lunch menu which is very good value and offers a lot of options to chose from.
Really impressed - interesting flavors, lovely presentation, size portions just nice. The set dinner is great value. Service was atttentive , not intrusive.worth a revisit.
Great introduction and presentation on the dishes. Good service and relaxed ambience. The saffron herb bread and herb crusted Hokkaido scallops were good but the summer mushroom aglio olio a tad too salty for me but was otherwise good. Parma wrapped chicken breast too dry though.
