This was a disappointing experience to say the least. We were hopeful because of the good reviews and a friendly greeting from one of the waitresses. My wine glass was dirty with finger and lip prints on it and I had to tell the waitress. We ordered a few apps and they all tasted like they had been pulled out of the freezer and plated. No flavor, the shrimp literally tasted like nothing. We told the waitress twice it was no good and she just said ok. Didn’t seem like she was surprised by hearing this. We wound up leaving without ordering entrees because we didn’t want any more bad food. There were also flies that kept trying to attack our food while eating. I get one will happen every now and then but we shouldn’t be waving them off the whole meal while indoors. Needless to say we won’t be back.

Food was very good, however the waiter on 7/24 squeezed me for an extra $2 on tip. The bill was $11.90 and I had left a $4 tip which is a 33% tip for a total of $15.90. However he charged me for a $6 tip for a total of $17.90. Not the end of the world but very unprofessional and borderline theft.

This was the first time that myself and my family decided to go to Violis. We had family visiting from Italy and it was very difficult to find a restaurant open on a Monday in my area. It's always a challenge when you find a new place cuz you have no idea how the food is going to be. To our surprise, everything was fantastic! From the servers to the person filling our Waters every time our Waters were empty. And most importantly the food was exceptional. We will be going back there soon and I highly recommend anybody who's interested in going do so.

It's pretty much the 19th Hole at Hunters Golf Course. But, this makes for gorgeous views. I haven't eaten there for quite some time, but the food has always been great. The service this past time was great, and tbat is typically the case.

This place was an unexpected treat…on a golf course with beautiful scenery and outdoor seating. We had lunch thinking the portion size would be on the smaller side especially when it is accompanied by soup or salad but it was a decent amount. The garlic bread they bring to the table was really good and the service was quick. I ordered the shrimp scampi which was okay - the shrimp were “plump” as described. I would go back to try other menu items.

I've only been here twice, and both times were memorable. Bartender even remembered me haha. I strongly recommend the prime rib on Thursdays! I dod not take a picture of it, sadly. But the burger and wings were also amazing!
