On a sub-freezing evening, keeping the vestibule door open so the staff could get up and down the stairs more easily was unwise. It was cold throughout the restaurant, regardless of location. Food was a mixed result: some very good, some so overly rich it was almost sickening. Wait staff was very sweet but forgetful.

We brought a friend from Vietnam as it was his first time in US and first day in Boston. He had the lamb, my husband had the Beef Bourguignon and I had the Dover sole (which I always get at La Voile) and all were delicious. We are never disappointed…fabulous. And best decaf cappuccinos! Thank you. Sue Campbell

The duck confit was delicious, tender and flavorful. The restaurant serves traditional French cuisine. We were there for Thanksgiving 3-course dinner, it was a lot of food!

I love this place. It’s like being in a quieter Parisian neighborhood brasserie right down the street here in Brookline. The staff remember you if you’ve dined here before and they never rush you. The food is delicious and comes out promptly. Love it.

This was a birthday dinner. The entire experience was wonderful. The food was exquisite. The offer a prix fix menu and an a al carte menu. I was looking forward to a specific entree that was not on the a la carte menu and they accommodated my request happily. We started with the chacuterie board with wine. It was lovely. It included a lovely brie, duck pate, slices of duck, pickles and prosciutto. Our entrees were perfectly cooked and delicious. Our servers were attentive and not intrusive My friends and I really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend a trip. I would not suggest for small children, the atmosphere is more adult as is the menu.
