Came in last night for Happy Hour for the first time and came away very impressed.

The atmosphere is super chill and inviting.

The PEI Muscles and Baked Ricotta were fantastic and the Old Fashioned was very good.

We sat in the bar area and our server was very slow. More interested in chatting with coworkers then helping us…which would normally reduce the number of stars!

However, the host was so friendly that it jumped back up to 5!

We will be back.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent drinks.
At first I was skeptical because it isn’t really my type Of atmosphere. But when you walk in and it’s a friendly greeting and people all around just being themselves it makes you feel pretty at home. I only rated 4 stars on atmosphere just because it can get a little too loud to hear the person across the table at times. Will always come back here for fun nights out.

Our lovely queer bartenders made killer well martinis and appeared to be on a lot of ketamine, so the service was comically slow. But they were playing Hole, had correct takes on Gilmore Girls, and made me—a heterosexual—feel mostly welcome. Definitely going back.

Voltaire has such a relaxed and warm atmosphere. It instantly makes you feel welcome. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive throughout the evening, striking the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. The drinks were expertly mixed, smooth, flavorful, and just right. But the real star was the food, absolutely delicious, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully portioned to leave you fully satisfied but not stuffed. A truly special spot. I’ll definitely be back.
