| - Let me start by saying I'm a foodie with a very large expense account to entertain clients so I love to try fun, new, and most importantly, delicious places. So when I saw a groupon for Voltaire pop up and noticed that it was right down the street from me and I had never heard of it, I thought that was a fabulous excuse to try, right?! ...BIG MISTAKE!!
Attempt 1: We arrive at 8:30pm (closing time is listed as 9:30 on the website) and we are not allowed to be seated. In the rudest manner possible we were told that the website did not say closing was 9:30 (which it does) and if it did, why would we expect to be seated an hour before close? ...since the doors close at 9:30 and they stop serving at 7:30. I've never heard of this and I eat out every night for work or personal and I've never been refused service if I come in a reasonable time before close at any reputable restaurant. If the kitchen is close, I'm usually informed in a very apologetic manner...not the case here.
Attempt 2: We make a reservation for a few nights later. On the way there to meet my date (we're both doctors) she got called back to the ER. So I simply went in on my own as I hated to cancel 10 minutes before, explained myself and said I'd be more than happy to purchase two meals to make up for her absence. Again, I was rudely denied service. However, after checking the fine print, the groupon did say that two diners must be present. So my bad there...but still, must one be so rude? I'm was certainly not looking forward to going back after two rude bouts. I was amazed they even made me another reservation!
Attempt 3: Success!!! We're seated very quickly, early in fact. And, I'm doing my best to be unbiased as I'm disgusted with this place and sworn to never go back. But hey, everyone has bad days and I won't let a rude owner ruin what might be a great new culinary find for me. Well, spoiler alert, I won't be going back.
Not that the food was bad, it wasn't. It was simply average. Considering the decor is straight from grandma's living room (appropriate considering the 60+ clientele) and the food was on the price side, I can't give this place a good review. It simply doesn't compare with similarly priced places in the area in food quality or ambiance. Add in the owner's attitude, and I won't return. Granted, the service was great as my waitress was both very helpful and knowledgeable. So no complaints on the wait staff or service.
