Great atmosphere and food

Food was very good. Beautiful night sitting outside. Service was wonderful

I recommend Vola's. A+ to the team! Friendly, attentive service. The server's drinks & entree recommendations were on point. Between the chef's menu and ambience/view. I will be back soon.

First time there. Obviously, a great location and our server - Devon - was outstanding. Food: everyone enjoyed their food, although my wife's oyster po-boy was too bready - the ones we've had in New Orleans had much of the interior bread scooped out before the oysters (or shrimp) are added. Noise: just way too much. Literally could not hear the two people across the table from us without yelling. I understand any restaurant's need to maximize space, but frankly it's gotten completely out-of-hand at Vola's and other restaurants. Restaurateurs have apparently forgotten that socializing is as much a part of a restaurant experience as the food, and the noise level at Vola's makes that virtually impossible.

Great server was Wendy! Had a great meal and time. Will return!

Horrible service, poor food. Will not be back and would not recommend

Ordered: grouper and shrimp meal, lobster roll, and crab dip. All food was genuinely delicious, no complaints! Server was attentive and helpful, host staff kindly sat us early despite how crowded it was.

It was early evening of the 4th of July and the place was jumping:noisy and chaotic. However or reservation got us a table looking out on the wharf and our waiter was attentive if overtaxed. There seemed to be a shortage of paper towels (which they use as napkins). Food (shrimp tacos and ceviche) was tasty. There was a long line for the bathrooms.

Freddy was great!

Our server, Tiffany, was wonderful and the food was delicious. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.
