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.

I brought my staff for a celebratory holiday lunch and we couldn't have been happier. LeeAnn, the hostess/server, was warm, friendly, and just the right level of attentive. We sat in the covered/atrium space in the back, which was perfect on a rainy day. Cocktails and food were delicious - I ordered the mussels and they were some of the best I've ever had. The lunch reminded me how much I enjoyed Frenchie before Covid and I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular basis. Thanks for a lovely wonderful lunch!
