Bar à vin 1855

Great food and an excellent outdoor setting. We were able to make a reservation for an outdoor table and for a pleasant summer day, it was just perfect. Balmy and not too windy with some cute string lights. The food was all delicious and fresh. They gave us some fresh, warm bread to begin with and the butter was yum! We shared a appetiser: calamari and it was delicious. We ordered beef bourguignon and lobster risotto. Both were very well cooked and the taste was just top notch. Felt like we were transported back to France. Service was good. Friendly and the pacing was good (not rushing). Would definitely recommend this place!

We went there for dinner with friends from Chicago on a Saturday night. I love going to French restaurants when we get the chance, it can be pricey, but there are some dishes you can only get at French restaurants that I love. 2 of them are escargot and duck. While good they were a bit too salty so you couldn't enjoy the flavor of the dishes. Their bread and kalamari were amazing and the fried polenta my wife got was rather good, but everything else I tried was average and when you are paying a premium you expect better than average. Another thing that kind of stood out to me was that the water was served at room temperature with no ice and I had to flag down my waiter for refills for my soda. Overall it was an ok experience but not worth the price in my opinion, so I probably won't be go

Great ambience and service, but the food was okay to good. The starting bread was warm and crusty and delicious. I tried the La Bouillabaisse (seafood stew) and Les Saint-Jacques (pan-seared scallops). The seafood stew was not that great but filling, and the scallops were excellent but really small in terms of portion-size. The dessert crepe was really really good!!

I grabbed an early dinner here as part of Boston Dines Out, and so had Le Foie Gras, Le Risotto, LA Poire, and the Something Sweet. All of it was wonderful! The restaurant was cozy and well kept, and the waitress was the perfect balance of being attentive without crowding the table. It started to get busy as I was heading out, so that's something to keep in mind if you're gonna go for a walk-in.

Great place to enjoy French food and desserts in an intimate vibe. Recently took a visit on a Sunday evening. The place was quite empty due to the snow, and we were able to snag one of the tables by the window overlooking the Newbury street. Although they are part of La Voile, their food menu was slightly different, so we decided to give them a try. Instead of the three-course dinner, we shared a couple appetizers and an entrée with some wine and cocktails. The drinks were solid, but we were more impressed with their food. Standout appetizers include the foie gras poêlé and the escargots with puff pastries. My only critique was that the crab flavor in the croquettes were too faint to notice, and it tasted more like regular potato croquettes. For the entrée, we shared the duck breast. As
