Upscale bistro in a warm and inviting space - the back room is quiet and intimate feeling. The sole was delicate and delicious; the duck breast was full of flavor. But it was the poached pear with the seared foie gras that knocked our socks off. We will be back.
Our waiter Monsieur Andres was amazing!  Alex (The general manager/sommelier) was increcidly helpful as well. The rest of the wait staff was attentive as well. empty plates and glasses never lasted as long on our table. My wife did the three course tasting menu and loved everything that she was served. The risotto was elegantly cooked, the duck was wonderful  and the moose was very  decadent! I had the escargot and the ribeye steak pomm frites. my mistake had a delightful compound butter on it, the fries were done excellently and the greens that came with it were very delightful as well! I followed my meal with the crème brûlée. It was expertly done. It has been one of the best crème brûlée I've had from a restaurant in a very long time! for me the best part of the meal was when they let us know that the bottle of wine that we had ordered was out of stock. They started making suggestions on what we could choose from and my wife just said please pick a bottle for us under X dollar amount.  Alex came back with a beautiful tasting bottle of wine for us. He was also very conscientious of our request on dollar amount and actually picked a amazing wine that was under our budget by 20%. overall this was one of the best restaurant experiences my wife and I have had in our lifetimes. If we're ever back in Boston we will make sure that we revisit this restaurant! 
Always excellent, a destination for people who like great food prepared simply and served with grace. Bravi!
Went for my son birthday, everything was perfect, the service the food, definitely recomended
This establishment was once my preferred French restaurant. Although it has mainly maintained its culinary quality amid industry-wide price increases, the service has become its primary shortcoming.
Fois gras is still delicious - small size. Duck rillettes not to be tried…
At the current price point, we still enjoy the atmosphere. Regrettably, the present staff demeanor is coarse and occasionally borders on aggressive, falling short …

Everything was delicious! We had the risotto, cheese board, and the ribeye and we would make the trip back to Boston just to eat those again. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was lovely. Can't wait to recommend this to all of my friends and family.
Wonderful! We are French and we leave in the us for 1hear. We wanted to have the French flavours with mossels and French fries and it was perfect! The bread was very good too! Very warming
The food was very good and the staff was friendly. We felt rushed though. Our salads came out before we were even halfway through our cocktails. The servers seemed to hover waiting to wisk away plates as soon as possible. To really enjoy the experience and get the full value we would have liked to linger
Reserved a time slot and get there on time but no inside table available when I get there. Although there are tables empty. Also host is not preparing any water to start.And Ido see another couple get an inside table after we sit. Is that because we are asians and they are white?

Consistent high quality across the entire menu, evening after evening. This is a place where you don’t need to worry whether they will do something well - they do everything well and consistently so. You can have a peace of mind and enjoy the conversation. This place will rank well in NYC, for Boston is among the best.

Excellent menu with a nice choice of traditional French dishes and drinks. Brasserie atmosphere with lots of pictures on the wall. Service was good despite being really busy.

La Voile is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Whenever I have an out of town friend visiting, I always suggest La Voile for lunch. Always wonderful service and the food never disappoints! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FOOD: Overall, the dishes were consistently well executed. The Taste of France menu was great. The roasted salmon fillet with parsnips & apple purée and celery truftled foam was my favorite! Full of flavor and delicious.
SERVICE: The service at La Voile was impeccable. Staff from beginning to end were attentive and efficient. We felt well taken care of during our meal!
ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming.
OVERALL: We enjoyed our meal here and would recommend giving La Voile a try! For 64 per person for a three course meal, this appeared reasonable for the service, atmosphere, and quality of food provided.
