    disappointing. We have been regular patrons of La Voute, but this time all the food was overly salted and extremely greasy. My wife's chicken was overcooked to the point of being inedible.

    Wonderful and creative food, friendly, kind nd, human wait staff, amazing gelato and macarons. The ambiance is special. I just wish there were more people enjoying it. It may have been because of the holiday weekend. I hope that was not a typical crowd I would hate to see this restaurant fold! It would be a loss.

    Went for Sunday brunch. Immediately fell in love with the ambiance. We opted for a window table instead of booth. It had an outside feeling even though we were inside. Enjoyed the music which was were songs that span various time periods. Music was played at an enjoyable level. Now the food.... I ordered the Quiche Lorraine and my companion ordered the Shrimp and Grits. When the server brought out the quiche, I thought it was a slice of cake. Very dense with layers of the egg filling separated by layers of crumbled bacon. The top was all bacon. The crust was thick, not as flaky as traditional pie crust but tasty none the less. It was served with an arugula salad with light dressing. The shrimp and grits were excellent. The cheddar cheese grits were outstanding, not too cheesy. The grits were covered with a very flavorful red sauce with plenty of juicy and succulent shrimp. They did not skimp on the shrimp. Coffee and mimosa was great. We will be back. Highly recommend.

    Great food from the appetizer of Fried Buttermilk Shrimp to the dessert of Crème Brûlée. Vast wine and cocktails selection. Waitstaff are friendly and attentive. Chef Robert provides a menu of options that makes it hard to decide which dish to select. Fantastic evening!

    La Voute means "the vault" appropriate for a former bank building turned into a hotel and restaurant. You can see the original vault and other original bank features. The food was excellent, the setting beautiful and the staff attentive.

    Unfortunately not a great experience this evening. Service was definitely off not sure if it was because it was Sunday evening but we will nfl be returning. Disappointment as we were excited for trying it out for a while now. First beer my husband ordered was brought to him 60 Percent full since the keg was out. The beer was flat so he asked to order something else - they were out of that beer as well so finally the 3rd beer was available. The frites were poorly seasoned French fries and the flatbread was terrible. Even if we asked to speak to a manager nothing would have Been done or any apologies.

    We haven't dined at La Voute Bistro in a few years but remembered it was an awesome time. I decided to take my hubby to dinner for his bday 4/13/23. Well, things have changed, not for the better. Let's dig in. The drinks were great! I started off with the lentil soup.....delish! Hubby had the oysters, if the oysters were any smaller, you would need a magnifying glass. The special was lamb chops over cheesy grits and potatoes. Not a terrible combination but 2 lamb chops for $44?! Ridiculous! They weren't even think cut! If you want great drinks, then this is the place. Choose another restaurant for food with better prices. Ciao!

    Prior to yesterday, this was one of my South-Suburban favorites. Yesterday, it was sub par. Omelet was brown/burned, quiche was burned on the top, food was room temperature, dessert tart was a disaster, and the mimosas were room temperature. We were extremely disappointed. I don't know if I'll return.

    We visited La Voute for Easter brunch. Our party had a lovely experience. The host and hostess were accommodating, our server was warm and polite, and the cuisine was wonderful. Although I wouldn't normally recommend children at such a fine establishment, the staff at La Voute adapted beautifully to our party of 10 (some adults and some children) for Easter brunch.

    This Bistro has been hit or miss. I ordered a dish and they never told me that the tuna would be raw. I think that's an important thing to know when deciding what to eat. Honestly it was overpriced, and the best part of the meal was the dessert, crème brulé.

    My wife and I had dinner during the Spring Seafood Festival. For starters I chose 2/6 eat coast oyster and 1/6 west coast that fresh and flavorful. My wife had French onion soup (enough for two). We both had La Voute's Signature Pan Seared Salmon with lemon orzo that was outstanding. The cut of the salmon 1 inch thick like a salmon steak cut in half. We both agreed this was one the best salmon dinners we have had. The New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc paired well with the salmon. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful in taking our orders.

    The salad wasn’t fresh and we waited too long for assistance from waiters. They wound come by the table and ask if we were okay but didn’t wait for our answer. We had to ask for our check twice which was weird because they were frequently stopping by while we were eating.

    My third visit to this establishment and I noticed a nice change to the available menu items. Everything was really nice. I do think the young man who was tasked with clearing the tables was a little hurried.. I understand timing and the need to clear tables but my dinner companion was still eating and he reached out to take her plate. Perhaps, he has some learning to do. He was nice and smiled but I don’t like to feel rushed when dining . We were probably at the 1:15 minute mark so I thought that was kinda early considering we had soup , dinner and had 🍹 drinks to start grabbing for our plates .. Will still dine there again … beautiful establishment and love that its local !

    Service was good but our dinner was a bit of a disappointment. My vegetables that accompanied my salmon were cold. My husbands pork chop was inedible due to the fact he said it tasted like it was marinated in vinegar. This was a huge disappointment to the both of us since we had been there previously and enjoyed our meals.
