Bistro VoltaireA delightful restaurantOur party of three had delicious meals at this excellent french restaurant. Our seafood platters and steak frites were superb and the service was outstanding. My only complaint (and it's fairly minor) is with the size of the restaurant. It's quite small and narrow; the tables are right up on each other and are fairly tiny. It makes for a cozy atmosphere but not the greatest if you're trying to have an private or intimate conversation (which, fortunately, we were not). However, the restaurant's excellent food and service definitely overshadow this one complaint.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious food, romantic setting,Delicious food, romantic setting, attentive service.

The atmosphere is wonderful - only to be outdone by the food. Had the scallops - delicious and very fresh. My friend had the pork tenderloin - flavorful, very tender, and cooked to the perfect level of doneness. As always, we left room for the molten chocolate lava cake - fabulous is the only word to describe it.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMA perfect dining experience!!A perfect dining experience!!

The French Risotto was delicious, the escargot the same -- the main dish, red snapper was perfect. The pineapple martini's were chilled to perfection and the last dish - the french cheese cake was s delight :) The service was perfect - the waiter was especially wonderful and attentive.
This place for a cozy romantic dinner for two or to enjoy wonderful food with friends. I would recommend it!!!!3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMwhile the food was wonderfulwhile the food was wonderful and the service just perfect, I thought $9 for a salad was a bit much---though it was very tasty. I also found the seating uncomfortable3/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
