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.

Excellent food. Slow service the night we attended. Wine choice was not on the menu. Waiter suggested an alternative without mentioning it was $28 a glass and not a big pour. Was not happy with that. But generally an ok experience.
