Food? Amazing. Wine selection? Incredible. But, you will have someone make fun of you in French because they think you don't understand. So there's that

Felt like we were transported to a bistro in Paris. The cocktails, appetizers of escargot and beets with chevre so tasty. Main courses of scallops, salmon, hanger steak and NY Strip , all cooked to perfection. Desserts ,and a bottle of wine, the best.Great attentive, professional, personal service. We all enjoyed a lovely evening.

Awful...the place is agreeable, but the food?...onions are cheap but they were scant in their alleged French Onion soup.No cheese on the bottom of the bowl, weakly flavored broth, very little one ( none carmelized) and a previously prepared small cheesy croutons placed on top.....BAD AND BORING!!The mussels were edible but not fish monger fresh and the broth was a stunning disappointment..no flavor worth a memory.

Viola came in clutch! Had a large party of 15 planned for another restaurant- which burned down... Didn't realize we needed a new venue until 20mins before dinner. Staff accommodated us well, provided great service, and excellent food, all on a dime. 10/10, would come here again.

I so appreciate Restaurant Week because it encourages me to try new places and new dishes.We had such a pleasant experience at Voila Bistrot! The staff were kind and attentive and every morsel delicious.We’ll be back to try the full menu!

I brought my father in for his 83rd birthday.We haven't been in a couple years and we had a wonderful time. Excellent food and theStaff was extremely professional and kind.Thank you Voila! For making my fathers 83rdBirthday a time to remember

The atmosphere of this restaurant is quite nice and cozy, and just a tad old school. The food is pretty good for what it is, especially the Beef Bourguignon with a red wine. Knocked off one star though because it really is quite expensive for what you get.

Another great meal at Voila! Our vaccine cards were checked upon entry and waitress asked if it had been reviewed. We started with the Escargot which had way too much sauce so the snails were lost, but still good. The main menu is good, but they had lots of special items so we each had one. I had the Cassoulet with duck and white beans that was excellent and generous. I took home half of it and will enjoy again. My spouse had the Beef tenderloin and said it was great. The wait staff was very attentive and each one I observed was there to make your dining experience great. The best service is when all of the staff help each other versus “just my tables”. We started going to this restaurant when it was as on Roy and Queen Ann under a different name. We were sad when it closed for some time, but delighted when we found it again.

TERRIBLE COVID PROTOCOLS. None of the staff were wearing masks, they didn't actually look at my vaccination card, and even though hardly anyone was in the restaurant, and there were tons of open tables, they sat another party RIGHT next to me, like within arms reach. Why do they even have tables that close together? I gulped down my port and ran out of there. Not the leisurely, safe-feeling dessert treat I was hoping for ?. And so unnecessary! At least 2-3 open tables 12 feet from me! They wouldn't even have had to sacrifice a four top to a small party; the couple next to me could have used at least two other open 2-tops!!!!!! Social distancing would have been no problem! Uggh.

Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about wine pairings or cocktail choices. The specials change frequently and are worth a look. Makes for a wonderful date night. We'll be back soon.
