I’ve been going to Agave since it opened 24 years ago. I no longer live in Atlanta but am so happy it’s still here. The food,ambience and service are just as wonderful as they were back then. It remains one of my favorite places to eat when I come to town.

I had lunch with two friends on Friday November 22nd at Petite Violette and as usual everything was wonderful! The food and drinks as well as the service and atmosphere were fantastic. The servers and staff were so friendly and one even provided a quick tour of their beautiful Christmas/holiday decorations. Petite Violette is a perfect place to take friends or family for a great meal!
