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.
