What User likes about The Purple Door:
While on a 3-week vacation in the US from April to May 2023, my friends and I had dinner at The Purple Door Restaurant. It was honestly one of the best meals I had during my vacation. The food is beautifully garnished and presented; the portions are satisfying; the food tastes heavenly; the service is top-notch; Monica is the best hostess; and the meals are affordable!! View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about The Purple Door:
The food is better than average, especially for a small town. Very limited menu and over-priced for the quantity of food on the plate. The salads have gotten smaller than when they first opened. Lady owner, Monica, can be very prudish and unfriendly. Fake. Other servers are generally friendly; service is good. View all feedback.

The food was delicious and the service was great…they even made small changes to a meal for my sons’ food allergies. Thanks for a great dinner!
