Violet opened on Capitol Hill in 2018 under chef William Belickis, who built the restaurant around what it calls "American Omakase" — a chef's-choice tasting format drawing on Spanish, French, and Italian cooking.
Belickis is often present in the dining room, and regulars describe attentive service along with a kitchen willing to work around individual preferences inside the tasting format.
The restaurant also runs a monthly wine club, with Belickis selecting bottles each month for members, and wine pairings alongside dinner have built their own following among diners.
