Over all is good. Nice pretty place. Food is good, French onion soup was delicious. Kind of disappointed on the avocado toast. I don’t like feta cheese so I got another cheese, but still looks like a half complete version compared to another persons photo… only two pieces of carrot and cucumber, doesn’t look very delicate.

We stopped here for a quick brunch on Saturday before heading up to Salem. It was an easy walk from our hotel, and since we were determined to try as much local food as possible during our short stay, this spot made the list. We got lucky and arrived just before the rush, so we were seated right away on their small patio. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the Filet-O-Fish sandwich, and the flavors came together perfectly with a lightly fried, perfectly cooked cod filet. I also had the Espressotini and honestly, it might be the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. No exaggeration, I’ve been thinking about it every day since. Service was quick and efficient, and the whole vibe was relaxed. If you’re in the area, I can’t recommend this little gem enough.

Have been to La Voile, Ma Maison and places in Paris and Lyon and wanted to try something different here in Boston. Unfortunately it does not live up to the others. I had the grilled chicken with spinach and sweet potatoes. I expected unique flavors and spices but honestly, Seasons 52 or Market Basket had better taste. It was a bland 1/4 piece that was dry, without any flavor. A bit much for $30. Do you not brine your chicken for flavor? The sweet potato puree was bland as well, and they refused substitutions. At that price it was a small dish that was uninspiring. The short rib Bourguignonne ($30)was excessively salty and sent back after 2 bites. Others in our group agreed. Chef, taste your food first please. Tuna Tartare appetizer ($19)was very good and the replacement roasted eggplant had great flavor and was good. We received a desert comped which was a poached pear with pistachios and whipped cream. Very interesting flavors with spices. But, it was still hard and not poached enough and not sweet at all. Definitely have had better. Nope, wont be coming back especially after a poor example for an easy chicken dish that was expensive for the size, and the excessive salt used on the other dish. Plus you get charged a kitchen fee. Why? Also update your bathroom and lower the music. Back to La voile it is…

I'm in love with this restaurant. Brings a bit of Paris to Boston. The food is outstanding!! Literally everything I've tried is such quality and reliably delicious. Service is great and atmosphere is cute. I love to come for breakfast -- omelets, the duck benedict, or my favorite the breakfast sandwich add bacon. All incredible, great portions and delicious.

I made a wonderful discovery today! The vibe was great, the service was quick, and the food was absolutely amazing. I especially loved the banana French toast, the duck Benedict, and the pulled beef on baguette. I can't wait to return and try more items from the menu!
