Voila is tucked away in St. James between a nail salon and an Italian Deli - difficult to spot from the street but a gem of a place once you get there and well worth the search. The food is delicately prepared and the menu is varied with reasonable prices. The service staff and owner are very accommodating. The atmosphere... More

My husband and I stopped here for a 12:00 lunch. We were the only diners in this elaborately decorated, cozy space. The decor is marvelous! The service was excellent, attentive and professional. We took part in the Prix Frixe. I ordered the brie-cabbage salad as an appetizer and my husband ordered the gazpacho. Both were amazing! The soup, (which I... More

Lovely french menus at its best. I love their Escargot Bourgogne and also Du Jour soup which is very famous among the crowd. Their prices are reasonable and the service is nothing but excellent. I will definitely visit Viola whenever I'm around the area.

I am always pleased with my dining experience here, yet I hardly ever eat here. That is going to change! This is French cooking at its best, with a friendly and attentive staff. My girlfriend has several dietary issues, and feared the "French" chef would ignore her requests. Not so! the chef went out of his way to prepare her... More

My wife and I found this place a few months ago and have been there three times since. Very nice French food, excellent service, reasonable prices (includes a couple of fixed price options), very nice atmosphere and best of all, a BYO with no corkage fee policy. Check out their menu and specials online.
