    Fabulous evening at La Voile! Food, wine selection, service and ambience all outstanding. Server Sutton was outstanding, and Manager Alex stopped by several times to check-in on us. We had See Bass, cod, duck breast, and beef shoulder - all were superb! We shared a bottle of white Bordeaux with dinner and it was reasonably priced and perfect. Since we were celebrating a birthday they brought out a petite chocolate molten lava cake with a birthday candle, and the entire room sang happy birthday! It just could not have been better!

    Delightful staff, delicious corn veloute and duck breast. The only bummer was walking in and seeing a bunch of dirty glasses and dishes in the counter where I thought I was supposed to sit. Fortunately counter seating was at a different bar, with a much better and cozier vibe. The dirty dishes sat there though, but honestly, I think there were maybe two tables in the entire restaurant who could see them. So not a big deal at all.

    Over the top!! The food was delicious (escargot, seared Foie Gras, Dover Sole and Beef Bourguignon.) The waiter outstanding. Professional. Very well trained. The welcoming staff were accommodating and gracious. Lovely, elegant, upscale in ambiance, and (I feel) reasonable prices. We will definitely be going back for a special occasion or romantic date night.
