   I love eating in bistros in France - escargot, beautiful soups, le betterave, duck breast, apple tarte - and at La Voile I am able to enjoy these classic dishes with beautiful wine any time. Thank you for bringing a true taste of France to Boston.

   What I love most about La Voile is the service. You will not be rushed, you will have a tablecloth with the appropriate glassware and silverware. You don’t need to keep your used utensils after your first course; they will bring you fresh ones. They will continuously refill your water. All of these small items seem so anachronistic these days and yet this place values these core features of good service. It makes dining so pleasant. The food is always delicious, perfectly plated and cooked expertly.

   It was our first time dining at this location. The service was excellent and the food was beyond our expectations. It is pricey, but an excellent place to dine in for authentic French cuisine.

   Had an enjoyable time - was surprised by how large the space was . We arrived early for our reservation and has to wait for about 15 minutes after our reservation ( it was a Friday so understandable ) we waited at the small bar area where our drinks were good. Once we were sat the waiter was very attentive , Food was alright nothing life changing or something I would be dying to come back for . We had Escargot , lamb and duck . Service was great , a lot of French people seem to work here which adds to a very “ stepped into Parisian cafe “ feel. We ordered a second round of drinks at the table that were not as good as the first ( maybe a different bartender ? ) but we had to send one of them back . Overall it was Good Friday night date spot .

   We have never had anything we wouldn't have again and with staple favorites like the quiche and sole, and seasonal items such as the veal blanchette, it brings us back time and again. We live in NH so dinner means a night over and it is definately worth it. Michel and the team work together seamlessly to provide excellent service. Their wine list is extensive with a broad range of wine and prices; again, we've never had a wine selected that we didn't enjoy. We look forward to our next visit. Bill and Julie

   This was the perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon. Exceptional meal included soul and risotto. We split the sole and enjoyed the risotto as an appetizer. Perfectly matched with a delightful Pouilly Fuisse. This is truly a gem and I’m so happy to have found it. Our service was top notch, attentive, friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back!

    First time coming here for a date. Great ambiance for a small-medium sized restaurant. Everyone from the host, to bartender, to our server were extremely polite and friendly. The food was great, but Im hesitant to give it a generous 5 stars. Still, no complaints. Only concern would be the noise level inside. The space is quite small and tables close together, and for whatever reason felt the noise level was too high for how many people there were inside, occasionally requiring my date and I to lean in or speak louder. Not a deal breaker though. Would come here again once I learn more about wines!

    Not sure what to say…everything was incredible. And I don’t me we had a great night out, so everything was incredible. It really was a superb culinary experience. Our appetizers were perfectly seasoned and delicious. Our entrees were perfectly prepared. Make sure you save room for dessert, but note, you won’t want to share. Definitely will be back soon.

    After a long hiatus, for no particular reason, this was my third time dining at La Voile in as many months. A charming, lovely restaurant on the ground floor of a beautiful Newbury St. brownstone, where the waitstaff are very attentive and knowledgeable. Food is delicious, ambience is warm and welcoming. Make a reservation!

    My husband had an excellent dinner with our young adult son and daughter last night. We shared a terrine of fois gras and escargots for appetizers, and all of us agreed that the escargots were the best we've ever had outside of France (where our daughter lived for 3 years), and the terrine was good, but not as good as it's been at La Voile in the past. We also all enjoyed our main courses. The filet of sole meuniere that I ordered was outstanding; the entrecote my husband has was excellent (and cooked rare as he had requested); and the scallops both of our kids had were very good. The one disappointment was the Ile Flotant that 2 of us had for dessert, which was nowhere near as good as it's been in the past at LaVoile. The chocolate flotant and apple tart were both very good. Our server was excellent--attentive and helpful, but not overbearing.

    Overall dining experience was good however unfriendly waitress was definitely noticed. No smile and no warmth at all. She was disinterested and unhelpful during entree selection, and never mentioned unavailable dishes until it was time to order which caused some to have to hurriedly reselect an alternative on the spot while she showed her impatience. No accommodations allowed either. Charcuterie Board appetizer and main entrees were well prepared. Broccoli purée side dish was delicious. Roasted chick peas side dish was not adequately roasted and looked poured out of a can —our impression. This is an upscale Newbury Street restaurant and it is not unreasonable to expect professional/friendly service.

    Stepping through the doors of La Voile is like stepping directly into another country, the ambiance is so authentically French. It's cozy, welcoming and convivial in the best French tradition. The service is top-notch, allowing ample time between courses while also being very attentive and thorough. The food is very good, and the price is in line with the inflation of the current moment. We had such a lovely glass of Bordeaux along with our meal that we felt thoroughly transported. Can't wait to go back!

    We stopped in for an early (5:30 PM) dinner because we had to catch a flight and overall it's a place that I'd want to visit again. We had the beet salad, seared duck, and sole meunière which were all cooked perfectly. My duck was a tad bit gristly but I'm being nit picky. Topped everything off with their "La Brouillard" (an affogato) which was the perfect way to end the meal. They have an extensive wine list and full bar. The next time I come back it will definitely be a more relaxed visit and I'll want to explore the menu more. Besides the classic French Onion soup, I'd want to have the escargot and the foie gras. They also have a $69 prix fixe menu which would be a contender for next time. Oh Boston, so much food, so little time... The service was very good also. We were greeted and all interactions with staff were positive. Our waiter was cheery and checked in on us at the appropriate times and was always there when we needed him.

    We ate unusually early because of an evening concert. Eating early has numerous advantages: you don’t feel rushed, it’s quieter and the food tastes better. Very relaxing.

    The entire meal was excellent, from bread to wine, and the salad and lamb were terrific--so much so that despite having eaten plenty it was hard to skip desert. So I did not, and that was delicious as well.

    Entrecôte with frites were good, but the sauce on the steak was just okay. Mussels were good. Mushroom soup lacked flavor and was missing something; perhaps some truffle oil? Overall, it was a good experience, but I was expecting a little more for it to be a great one.

    We are glad to see Olivadi’s reopen. The decor is attractive and welcoming. Good service. Our delicious meals were an veal Parmesan, shrimp scampi, Bolognese, and pasta with mushrooms. The calamari appetizer was light and flavorful. .we enjoyed the different bread served at the table with a zing pesto sauce. They are only open Wednesday- Saturday. Too bad as this can be a “go to” restaurant any day.
