We were seated by the window, hoping for a warm and cozy meal on a cold winter evening. Unfortunately, the large windows were very drafty, and we had to keep our coats on the whole time. The cold air was so noticeable that the short curtains were moving. It wasn’t just us—everyone sitting near the windows was bundled up in jackets and scarves, trying to stay warm while eating. The food and service might have been nice, but it was hard to enjoy with the constant chill. Hopefully, the restaurant fixes this because it has the potential to be a great, cozy spot.

Lovely night out at Le Voile. Everything was tasty-we had the fish soup, onion soup and the mushroom as well as the escargot to start- then had the scallop /lobster risotto, venison and Dover sole . All very good / Dover sole was probably the least favorite . Great wine selection. Finished it off with the molten cake and custard- all very delicious.
