Dessert, the floating island, was overly sweet, and the creamy sauce was a bit too rich. The portion was small—a tiny square that disappeared in just three bites. I don't understand why there was such a small amount of egg whites. Moreover, the water was served at room temperature without ice.
It took a while for the wine to arrive, which made it difficult to pair with the food. On a positive note, the service was pleasant and attentive. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, especially since this restaurant came highly recommended as one of the best in DC. Perhaps we just made the wrong choices? It seems that other items on the menu received much better reviews than the mussels. We'll have...
This restaurant was highly recommended, but I left feeling disappointed. The prices were steep for the quality of food served. Upon our arrival, there was no greeting from the staff. Our table was situated in a dark room with no windows. While the experience on the terrace might be slightly better, it wouldn’t make up for the dry chicken, overcooked fries, and subpar service we encountered.
Onion soup going from $10.95 to $14.95 in just three years? Mussels from $20 to $27? Even the gullibility of the American consumer has its limits. Costs went up but not by that much. As a local who’s been going here for over 10yrs I’m finding it increasingly difficult not to think there’s just a bunch of greed behind it
I've eaten here numerous times always to my delight. Last night's dinner, however, was horrible. The food quality across the board was bad. And, the server imparted an attitude the entire night. Don't know if was because it was a Sunday night or something else but it will be a long time before I return.

Excellent food and service makes for a very cozy dining experience. The staff was friendly and patient while my daughter was having issues making up her mind. My wife loved the French Onion soup as it was made properly with veal stock.
Had a Fantastic meal I got the Trout W/ spinach my friend had the beet salad and cold eggplant soup, topped off with chocolate mouse 2spoons and Marvin was very very friendly and busy and kept us very satisfied!! See Voila soon.
This is always one of our top go-to restaurants with our out-of-town guests. Great vibe, cozy environment, nice cocktail and wine list and reliably good food. This neighborhood gem did not disappoint.
The food was absolutely delightful. The chef's special was a real highlight. The desserts were fantastic—indulgent but not excessive. I will definitely be coming back!
