I have organized a bachelor party for a friend of mine. Made the reservation for the $750 bottle service for 12 people and was told to be there before 12:15AM. We left another fun place, where we could have had a great time, and came to La Voute before midnight. Contacted the hostess who made my reservation. She said that everyone has to do lineup and she cannot do anything. My group stayed and waited in line for about 45 minutes in freezing weather and line didn't move. We then gave up and left the place to the nearby bar. I felt embarrassed in front of my group. In my world, "reservation" means you can come in without any wait unless you are late.
