    We booked on OpenTable for LaVoile but because of confusion between that, and it’s upstairs wine bar, which OpenTable made to look like the same thing (Bar a Vin is less formal and “tighter”) it was the upstairs wine bar or nothing, so that’s the last time I will ever book on OpenTable for anything. Service was very well done, however, and the food was good, but since it was a special occasion for us, we were disappointed that we were unable to eat in the main restaurant, with which we are well accustomed.

    A wonderful french bistro-wine bar right in the heart of the city. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were no longer in Boston and had the most lovely evening. Our waitress was superb, the wine list is outstanding, and the quality of the food was second to none. We are so happy we discovered this special place.

    Dining as it should be — exquisite attention to detail from start to finish. Very attentive, affable service, without being in the least bit intrusive. Each dish was carefully and skillfully prepared, including a memorable parsnip soup. Un petit bémol — one slightly less successful detail: the music, which at one point was squealing electric guitars. It was never loud (mercifully), but not the best playlist for this environment. (As I was about to say something, the music changed and was thereafter more bearable—but not ideal, nonetheless.) This was my third meal at 1855: a place I will return to again and again. A lovely contrast from my many unsatisfying dining experiences in Boston.

    Though owned by the La Vile owner, food was definitely a level up. While Le escargot at La Voile is deliciously cooked in classic garlic butter sauce, at the Bar a vin 1855 they were served in equisite sauce which elevated to another level. Wide range of wine with reasonably wide price ranges. While the server was knowledgeable, she made us comfortable of our modest wine knoeldge. Smaller space but tables were well spaced. It just became our regular place!

    Great experience. Our party of four really felt like we were in a good French bistro near Brittany, (an homage to Matthieu, who is an OUTSTANDING waiter/sommelier and overall face of the restaurant). The very recently updated menu is outstanding. With many of a French bistro’s “traditional” plats, but many done in a non traditional manner. The escargot for example was not the traditional “garlic and butter” approach but rather done with mushrooms and a buttery sauce over puff pastry, delicious. There are no less that three different fois gras presentations as first courses. We tried the “brûlée” version and it was outstanding. That alone worth the return visit. Other first courses were an excellent tartare, and a goat cheese salad, all well prepared. Entree’s included bouillabaisse, mushroom risotto and scallops. All were creatively prepared and outstanding with the bouillabaisse broth uniquely flavored, the scallops served over a cauliflower purée. Wine selections extensive and again, the server/sommelier Matthieu excellent. We’ll definitely return to try some of the other choices on the menu.well done!

    Date night spot, one of our best experiences in a long time. Far surpassed my expectations. Steak tartare was the highlight for me, perfect. The seared foie gras and duck entree were excellent. Will go back and bring friends.

    We arrived a little early prior to our reservation. We wanted to have a cocktail at the bar and wasn’t able to due to 1 chair short in the bar area. We left and found another place to enjoy a cocktail. Returned for our reservation. Food was good however portions were very small. Probably will not be making a second trip to this restaurant

    Had a first date experience here. Asked to have wine suggested to us and the server asked if we trusted him. Naturally, we said yes, and based on a couple questions he brought back a great tasting bottle for us to share a dessert over. Would definitely come back for future dates or special occasions!
