Et Voila continues to be a welcoming restaurant with quality food and wine/bar choices. I appreciate a restaurant with a good chateauneuf-du-pape by the glass! The carbonnade and our other main course selections were excellent, with the fries always outstanding. My mom loved her baked escargots. The floating island and chocolate mousse are our constant go-tos that never disappoint. The interior room was a bit hectic for an early seating but we put that down to it being Christmas Eve.

We were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!

We arrived around noon on a Football Sunday, before the restaurant had gotten too crowded. Our server, Allie, was attentive and bubbly. I ordered the egg sandwich (brunch) and it was incredibly tasty and filling. Drinks were great as well. I had the orange crush and it was very good. Only "complaint" was that the bench we sat on is in desperate need of replacing. The back was ripped with stuffing coming out and the seat itself has definitely seen better days. I'd recommend a table, instead. Overall, a great experience and we will return.

Liz was amazing and the salmon was great. The chicken sandwich was a little off, but still good. Loved the winter mocktails!
