Hands down the best restaurant I've ever been to. We had goat cheese tray, Pig Ears, burrata cannoli, chorizo olives and Greek honey dough balls... I'm sure they have a better name than that I just don't remember. Every single thing we ordered blew us away. Can't wait to go back all the way from Arizona just to eat at The Purple Pig again!

My brother and I started with three cheeses and a glass of red wine. The cheeses were good, the wine was excellent. Then we had the razor clams, which were incredible and tasted like the ocean.

Food and service were impeccable! Pig ears, lobster cannoli, steak and beet salad were amazing. To end this fantastic dining experience, we were deciding between dessert items and our server recommended the Sicilian Iris...it was absolutely delicious!

The food was amazing! The atmosphere not so much. It was annoying crowed, loud, and music was blasting the whole time. Really, who wants to hear music blasting when you're out to dinner with friends or on a date, you cant talk, because it's to loud. We had AC/DC playing "you shook me all night long" while we were trying to eat a $140.00 meal.
