    Lovely night out at Le Voile. Everything was tasty-we had the fish soup, onion soup and the mushroom as well as the escargot to start- then had the scallop /lobster risotto, venison and Dover sole . All very good / Dover sole was probably the least favorite . Great wine selection. Finished it off with the molten cake and custard- all very delicious.

    The Holiday lunch menu at La Voile was superb. We enjoyed a velvety mushroom soup to start. The duck breast was tender and flavorful and highly recommended! Cream puffs finished a lovely lunch with just the right note of sweetness. There was a good crowd so slightly noisy but all in the spirit of this festive season.

    Outstanding French restaurant is one of my favorites in Boston. The food selection is excellent and there is a good wine list for a wide range of wine connoisseurs from beginners to experts. Highly recommended for a romantic dinner.

    My husband and I had a lovely quiet lunch at La Voile on Monday. We both had cream of mushroom soup, which was beyond amazing. I had moules frites. There was an abundance of mussels in a wonderful wine broth. My husband had a vegetable risotto, which he adored. For dessert we had a very nice chocolate mousse and cream puffs. La Voile is consistently excellent and we will be back.

    Everything was excellent! Service was spot on. The Dover sole, escargot, even chicken (probably the best I’ve ever had) were all cooked to perfection. It’s such a cozy atmosphere and was the perfect place to dine before we went to a show. We even shared a great bottle of wine! I wish we had space for dessert but we were stuffed! Great visit!
