Voila French Bistro and Wine Bar

What a great dinner Last week with Jean Christophe (pictured) and his amazing wife Segolene! The bread and butter cream sauce was so enticing — and for dinner I had the FDB «French Duck Burger» yep that’s right and it was worth every penny!!!
Oh and just a little wine plug «the clos du bois RSV Cabernet was amazing

I don’t think I have enough stars to rate the new owner/​chef Jean Christophe! Last night we celebrated my husband’s 50 th birthday! I had vaguely mentioned his love for foie gras and had asked if they could make something with that in mind! I have to say I was blown away at how thoughtful and creative the meal was!!! And mind blowing delicious !! They even made a cake (I had not even requested one I thought we would put a candle on a slice of something sweet), a mouthwatering cake!!! And they remembered details of what we like. I am very thankful! Thank you to Jean Christophe and Segolene! We always love eating there but last night was very special!

Great Food and Service! Much better than the previous chef. I highly recommend it!
What a great experience my wife and I had last night!

Great atmosphere, excellent entrees, good wine, only one beer,
made for a great experience. Escargot were disappointing (rubbery).
We’ll be back.
Excellent bread.

I’ve had lunch and dinner here a few times and always enjoyed it
The French Onion soup is great and the quiche fantastic
Small and comfortable.
Great wine selection
I highly recommend it.

Don’t order the low end wine… awful. We have never been in a restaurant that did not offer to replace the wine with another if it didn’t taste right. It was inferred we should have ordered something better, and «here is a small taste of another wine you can order next time» Moules were good, French onion soup so-​so, but overall we were disappointed and probably won’t go back

New owners same wonderful food. Great night for a glass of wine and a bowl of excellent onion soup

I really enjoy this french restaurant, the food is amazing it makes me feel like Im back in France. This is a fantastic gem with owners who treats the customers as good as their attention to the food. I can’t wait for the weekend to go back.

My husband told me about this fantastic restaurant and finally he took me for my birthday. It was amazing! The onion soup was the best soup I ever had and it got better when I got my Brochettes de filet mignon, my husband got the Lamb with lots of flavor.
This is totally a 5 star place!

We went to Voila few days ago with my friend and loved it. the New Chef Jean Christophe is a real executive chef, nothing to compare with the oe before .
We loved our food, service was excellent We will be back for sure. I highly recommand the place
Congratulation to the 2 new Owners.

Great Food, great Staff, great prices! Met the owners, Chef Jean Christoph is an excellent cook and his wife is an amazing Host!
Definitely will be back!

Went in late on a Saturday evening just wanting to split a dish because it was 8:30pm the service was excellent and the food was so delicious. We split the salmon crepes that all i can say is it’s a must try! The ambience was quaint and we loved that the chef came out to ask how we liked our meal which was a nice touch.
We will be back and look forward to trying some other items on the menu.

Went there last night, October 30. Food and service were very good. My wife left her purse behind after dinner. We discovered this about 15 minutes after departing.
Called and they said it was there waiting for us, so we went back and picked it up. All was well until we got home and had a chance to check out the purse. All of her cash was missing. Over $ 200.
Make your own decision.

Great new chef as of October 1^st, 2015, no comparison to George! The food now tastes like a 1^st class french restaurant not like before. The new Chef comes from a line of famous french michelin rated restaurants apparently, and you can taste the difference!!! This must have been the best french meal I have ever had and I lived in europe for 16 years.
Highly recommend it! You will not be disappointed.

Went here with a few friends when I was in town for a visit. It was really good. Cant remember what I had, but it was good.

Have been here a few times and the Sole Meunière and the mussels with garlic and white wine are the best dishes! The Sole Meunière is a buttery light flavorful fish. The owner and our waitress were incredibly nice. It was my dad’s birthday and they sang and gave him and wonderful dessert on the house. The best desserts are the apple tart tatin and the bread pudding.

We dined there tonight for the first time. What a find! The fish is the best we’ve had in a while and we dine out frequently. Friendly, attentive staff. Charming place. Finally we found a place with a really wonderful wine list. The Branzino and Sole were fabulous.
We will be back!

The Best mussels I’ve had in the desert in my 30 year here in Scottsdale fantastic service is great I highly recommend this restaurant I’m from Seattle and I am accustomed to fresh mussels and these were the best I’ve had here in az. You’ll be doing yourself an extreme disservice if you don’t try this restaurant right away

Was so disappointed in our meal here recently. My wife and I came in around 6pm on a Monday, and our first clue that it would not be a great dinner was that the place was empty.
We both started with the french onion soup. The soup tasted extremely bitter, it was almost inedible. The stock was extremely watery.
My wife the filet mignon and I got the rack of lamb. The filet (from the best I can tell) was butterflied, and resulted in it looking like salisbury steak. She ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked medium-​medium well throughout. My rack of lamb was completely over seasoned, almost completely covered with herbs. I ordered it medium-​rare, and mine was extremely overcooked as well with not even any pink. The worst part of the meal was that both of the entrees were served with what appeared to be frozen french fries. For $ 30+ an entrée, french fries should never be served, especially ones that taste like they were frozen out of the bag.
It took almost an hour to receive our entrees when the restaurant was completely empty. I let the waitress know that our food was overcooked and she basically gave me the «oh well, you should have let me known» but did nothing to remedy the situation. Our bill came out to over $ 100 for two, and the food was bad, at best.
All in all, we will not be back here, and I would recommend that anyone who enjoys real french food to avoid this restaurant.

We came to Voilà this past Saturday thanks to a Groupon we received at Christmas.
We were seated outside in the patio area, with our own personal heater no less. Our server Jordan was great and was from Michigan as we found out. We chatted for a while and then he was off to get a glass of Pouilly-​Fuissé. And that, was just about when the wheels started falling off our romantic evening here.
Voilà owner/​Chef Georges came outside to yell at some neighborhood kids who were skateboarding a little too close to his patio. No one at Goldie’s next door seemed to mind. But between his high pitched whistling and yelling, it made us think of that Seinfeld episode. You know the one.
Don’t get me wrong, a little drama can be fun. But we just kept our heads down, as Elaine did. Thankfully it worked. Our appetizers arrived just in time and he went back into the kitchen. Voilà!
Let me say that we loved Voilà’s wine list. It’s been a while since we had a good Pouilly-​Fuissé. It was complex, with a nice fresh taste. A wonderful change from the American Chardonnays we’ve been drinking. It was moderately priced at $ 16 a glass (Louis Jadot normally goes for $ 30 a bottle).
We started off by ordering the Escargot ($ 12.00) and the L’oignon Soup ($ 9.00). The escargot was delicious, with just the right amount of garlic. As for the soup? Sadly it was very bland, with no beef stock taste and so salty, we couldn’t finish it.
For our entrée, we ordered the Sea Bass Brazino ($ 29.00) and the Beef Bourgogne ($ 32.00). The fish was describe as a «Blackened Cajun Style». It tasted like it was seasoned with ton of Lawry’s Salt, I would guess a tablespoon. There was no Cajun spice or kick, I picked at it but couldn’t finish it. The beef was somewhat better, but it too was way over the top salty. It had a beef bouillon like taste, with no vegetables or potatoes.
Now we love French food and always look forward to visiting our relatives in France. If you like Voilà, I would suggest you try Coup des Tartes, St Francis, Zinc Bistro, Chez Vous Crepes, Café Paris French Bistro and then tell me what you think.
The damage came to a very reasonable $ 103.00, before taxes, gratuities and our $ 40.00 Groupon. So unless you like your food very salty, I would skip Voilà.
Sorry!
