At a time when Washington restaurants are becoming more and more expensive, Et Voila, which always was a bargain, serves wonderful food for half the price of most other good Washington restaurants. It's a bargain, but even more important, the food is wonderful.

The food was delicious, with interesting, unique flavors that worked really well together. Kudos to the Chef! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was that our empty appetizer plates weren’t cleared before the main dishes arrived. Since the table is small, clearing them beforehand would have made the experience more comfortable. Overall, a great meal!

Nice new neighborhood place! It's very casual with friendly service. Small menu but very good food. I got the steak frites, which was very good. (If you want medium rare you might want to ask for medium.) The gougeres are large and excellent. The Hugo Spritz was great too. I'll be back.
