Excellent service, incredible drinks, and some of the best food I've ever had. Vegan steak was out of this world! End the night with the sorbet drenched in champagne. Fancy place, felt like I was in Europe.

Second time at this restaurant (Brookline location)...Overall experience was pretty good ...but what was shocking the most was that our waitress, who was very kind and sweet, looked like she just got out of bed, put on some shaggy clothes and came to work to wait tables. She stood out because her colleagues were dressed appropriately and in black attire except for her. For a restaurant of this caliber with white cloths and an expensive cuisine she should've been dressed up for her job accordingly.

Our food was delicious and service was great. When we arrived only two tables were taken but we were walked to a table right next to the bar. Why? The noisiest spot? And there were many quieter and nicer locations available, so we chose one of those. I think that offering one of the better tables in the beginning would be a kinder gesture.

Food was just OK as it seemed to have a lot of potential based on the menu. Staff were friendly and attentive, prices were

We love La Voille! It's like having a real Parisian Cafe in Brookline. The food is fantastic, the wine is great, the ambience is lovely and if you go there a few times, the kind staff even remember you and what you like to eat/drink!

We've eaten at La Voile before; this dinner was for our anniversary. Once again it was a wonderful meal. For starters, the restaurant is quiet -- a rarity these days. The staff is friendly and professional. And the food is outstanding, of course. We had escargot, pâté, two versions of duck (roasted and confit), and a bottle of a good pinot noir. All cooked perfectly, delicious, and very well presented. My wife's dinner came with a choice of dessert, which she ordered. But they didn't serve it. I'd mentioned when I made the invitation that it was our anniversary, and the dessert they served instead was a multi-layer heart-shaped cake with a candle, garnished with a large strawberry carved into a rose and a lovely chocolate. Just an outstanding dinner start to finish...for sure we'll be back.

We had dinner here for the first time last night and it was excellent . The kitchen was great. Wine service by the glass was nice with the bottle presented and a taste offered. We had the French onion soup, escargot, beef bourginion, scallops and dover sole. For dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake. All perfect. We will definitely return soon. Tip: parking was easy and free if you drive around to University Road which is one way.

La Voile has good, traditional French fare, and pretty good, amiable service, but the entry/reception circulation is a nightmare, especially in the winter, and particularly for table near the reception area. We were unfortunately seated by the door, and were blasted with cold air every time a group came in, the waiters had to leave the dining room to go through the vestibule to provide service to those seated upstairs, and back down again. It's the worst situation I've ever witnessed in an otherwise reputable restaurant that I might return to, but NOT until this is remedied. NEVER accept a table anywhere near the entry/reception area, or you will be crowded by arriving diners coming in, who push through the tiny vestibule, announce themselves, mill around waiting until the host takes them to a table, which often means pushing back through the tiny vestibule to go upstairs, often confronting another group pushing through the tiny vestibule to announce their arrival, on and on - you get the picture. They need to hire an architect and come up with a solution to isolate the coming and going from the dining room. All of this hubbub and the accompanying blasts of cold air with every coming and going made what could have been a lovely Saturday evening meal a positively miserable experience.
Great neighborhood restaurant! Food id consistently great. Service is moderately paced. They give you time to enjoy your food. This place has all the best "I'm eating in Paris" vibes. Highly recommend!

Fantastic restaurant for a special occasion. Great service, food was served in a timely manner, water was always filled. Cocktails were delicious. We both had the lentil soup which is definitely recommended
The food was delicious as usual. If you visit please please try the quiche, it is sooo good. Also the rib steak... I have no words for that. But most importantly THE STAFF, the are amazing, bless their souls because they are the kindest and most helpful out there!

If you cannot get into La Voille on New bury Street, Boston, this is a fine second choice. The food and service are equal to Boston. The atmosphere does not equal the other as you are in an old bank building. Prices are a bit high but the service and food quality help to explain the pricing. Definite worth an evening visit.

Lackluster service. We waited 10 minutes at our table before being greeted (barely a hello) and ordering our drinks. Waiter brought a complementary round of champagne which was nice (but one in our party of four was not drinking alcohol). We had to ask for bread. It was brought with no butter. Had to ask for butter which took forever. Food was good, but service was apparently so lousy the waiter brought us another round of complementary dessert drinks. Was surprised that their French was very limited. A disappointing experience.
