    A beautiful location, impeccable service (Shout out to the ever attentive, informed and unfailingly prompt, polite and engaging Luis! He also takes a great picture) The food was outstanding, from the opening oysters through Halibut, Steaks, Duck and finished by the Chocolate Souffle. A glorious wine list, a little intimidating, but lots of ready and willing guidance available if desired. This was a great place for a family holiday dinner. The only consideration is the dining room was a little loud, but that may just be my old ears. And the lighted Public Garden out the windows was a cherry on top!

    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.
