    Food was Fair, staff was great…. The main reason for dinner was to celebrate a birthday, which I put in the notes of the RSVP nobody mentioned it and nothing was brought out. I was kind of disappointed about it. I wanted to make the day special

    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 !

    My steak was overcooked as was my wife’s salmon. The drinks were good, and they were gracious enough switch us to a booth as it became available. The chocolate cake desert was a nice touch as well.

    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.

    We went to celebrate Valentine’s Day and chose the restaurant at the last minute because it was available. We were glad that we took a chance. We brought our 8 month old infant with us and they made us feel welcomed and cozy. The food was good and so were the drinks. We’d definitely return.

    The decor and being located inside a boutique hotel made the experience very good. It was laid out better than expected. The reserve wine list was decent but needs a little work. Staff exceeded expectations. The only issue was the food needed seasoning. Something to make the flavors pop. I would wait a few months and give them another try.

    Unfortunately, each one of our orders were brought out separately due to some level of miscommunication. We waited over an hour (not busy) for salad…it went to the wrong table and the other order never came so my guest accepted whatever was available. Chef was appropriate about, apologized and offered us a drink. We plan to come back, we recognize that sometimes there is a glitch and things don’t run smoothly as we would like. We just happen to be on the receiving end of that last night.

    Soup du jour was great. Service was wonderful. Food was just fair. Salmon was somewhat undercooked. Some of our side dishes were blah. Broccolini seemed to have the life completely boiled out of it. Maybe it was an off night?

    Let me begin by saying this is a beautiful restaurant in a lovely location. There is ample parking in back of building or in front there is street parking. The service was good. The menu has a good selection of items. We had reservations on Sunday at noon. Four adults in our party. We were seated immediately. Our server offered us drinks. We ordered a Seamless Cabernet Sauvignon $12. Another order the Black Tea Manhatten $14 (very good). Two ordered coffee $6 each. Brunch/lunch menu is offered on Sunday from 10am-2pm. Our party order, Country Ham and Eggs $21, requested bread instead of grits. They complied. Ham was so tough, our table was shaking when attempting to cut ham. Their "famous french onion soup" $8 left a lot to be desired...we expected so much more....LaVoute Salad $13,lots of greens and not much more.. the Quiche Lorrine (their spelling) $14...so sad..the quiche was like a brick, not fluffy, it was impossible to cut thru the crust. Last entree ordered was Shaved Prime Rib Bagette $19..the meat tasted old. This is not the 1st time we ate at LaVoute. In the past, there was a problem with consistency. One time the quiche was fluffy and so good, but the next two times it was bad. In the past the prime rib sandwich was always good and the drinks are expensive, but good. No more chances for this place...way too expensive to wait for them to get it right..so sad .Our party left most of our food on our plates, but server or bus person, didn't inquire if there was a problem..smh

    I usually do not write reviews but I have to write this one for people like me who had never had French cuisine. So the restaurant was clean, staff very friendly, drinks good but the food…. French onion soup very good! I ordered the duck one of the most expensive item on the menu and I thought this will be good since it was their specialty. Unfortunately it was not what I expected. The breast of the duck looked like ham and was very good but the dark meat of the duck was way over cooked and I couldn’t even chew it. The meat honestly looked and chewed like over cooked carnitas, so I was very disappointed. I didn’t complain because I am not a fan of returning food then having it returned to me, just had bad experiences before doing that. For my husband and I our bill was $147 this included an appetizer, two beers, 2 glasses of wine, two meals with a slice of cake. With the tip our bill was a total of $176! My husbands food was good but nothing we haven’t had from regular bar food, he ordered the prime rib sandwich. So unfortunately we will not return to this restaurant

    Beautiful spot, decorated elegantly for the holidays! Staff warm, friendly and helpful. The food was the star! Cocktails enjoyed by all. Seafood cocktail and Fois Gras was shared by the table delicious mix of flavors. My son and I savored the French onion soup best I have ever had, amazing flavors. My daughter-in-law had the pork medallions in a flavorful sauce. My son and husband had the cassoulet that they loved. My husband had never had it before, he certainly will again. I had steak frites, cooked to perfection with crunchy fries and a nice bit of salad. Wish we had room for dessert. A wonderful holiday dinner.

    Went to celebrate a milestone event in my life and overall the visit was poor. Sat by the window and it was cold and drafty. The waitress couldn’t wait to get our order for dinner in so she could be done, her service was generally not good. Also heard way too much of the personal lives of the staff. The appetizers were ok, the “marvelous first course” was not marvelous in the least. French onion soup was good and so were the drinks. Ordered the muscles in wine sauce and they tasted rancid. I will not be visiting here ever again.

    My husband and I LOVE La Voute! It is our go-to, whether we want a nice night out or just well-crafted casual fair. La Voute has it all, including amazing cocktails and a great wine selection. The servers are lovely, and the chef is always visible checking on all customers. If you haven't been to La Voute, what are you waiting for?!
