| - First of all, if you like classic French food, this place is for you. Prices are very reasonable and dishes are well-executed. If you're in your 20s-30s, it's not a place to impress your date or friends - it's not trendy or slick. Actually, to be honest, I don't really like this typical for many authentic French restaurants home style decor - it's too old fashioned for me and depressing...
It was a Thanksgiving evening and besides being Europeans (= New year is a bigger holiday for us than Christmas), we don't have any relatives in this area to celebrate this holiday with, so we called all restaurants which were opened on Thanksgiving and Voltaire was one of them. Party of 3 - last minute reservation - no problem.
We liked food a lot and if we were in our late 50s-60s-70s, we would go to this restaurant on a regular basis, but we're still too young to enjoy being there - the atmosphere in this restaurant kills my spirit and mood.
I was surprised to see a female waitress as French restaurants are known for hiring only male waiters, but we were there on a big holiday, so it wasn't a typical day and possibly their regular personnel didn't want to work.
Would I go back? Probably, but not in the nearest future. Would I recommend this place? Yes, you have to experience it yourself if you like authentic French cuisine .
