    My wife, daughter and I had a very pleasant and simple lunch here. Both my daughter and I ordered the L'Auvergnate crepe (cured ham, bleu cheese, walnuts, creme fraiche) and my wife ordered the Dolce Vita sandwich (prociutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted cherry tomatoes, arugula on a baguette). I love a great crepe --- and the crepe here was very good --- with the ideal meshing of ingredients to create a luxuriant taste. My wife's sandwich was excellent. I'm generally not a fan of prociutto but the one served here was excellent. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. And the ambiance and decor was just what you would expect for a neighborhood French bistro --- dark wood, chilled vibes, people deep in friendly conversation. It's not Paris --- but for Seattle it comes pretty close.

    Salade Maison and escargot.

    I came here on a Sunday evening around 7pm. There was ample space but I did have a reservation for 2 just in case. The space is intimate and quiet, with an upscale vibe. Service was great and immediate. I tried the house salad and the escargot. The house salad was fresh and tasty, and the escargot was delicious! It was probably my favorite item I had. For my main course, I had the mussels La provencale, which actually was a substantial portion of mussels which was great! I enjoyed them but preferred the escargot. I got fries on the side to supplement as well. The fries were crisp and tasty. I also tried the special of the day which was a filet mignon. Great buttery rich taste on that. For dessert, I had the creme brûlée - it was excellent. Overall, I'd come here again if I'm in the area! Great spot for French cuisine.

    Good food good service and good ambience. In summer you get to sit outdoor at the back. Their deserts must have.

    What an adorable French bistro in a quiet little neighborhood! My friend and I stopped by after seeing a piano concert nearby and weren't sure they'd seat us so close to closing time (9pm). Thankfully the owner/manager who came to see what we wanted after about 5 minutes of milling about the entrance let us sit in the front room and eventually sent the server over from somewhere else in the restaurant. It wasn't a welcoming start to our experience here and that is where the last star was dropped. Otherwise this place is absolutely adorable and transports you to a Parisian open window somewhere near Montmartre. We had designs of having delicious French desserts and that is exactly what we found here. The bread pudding is an absolute must have. It was probably my favorite bread pudding I've had in the last 5 years. The vanilla anglaise sauce was simply delightful and paired perfectly with the dish. The seasonal sorbet they had was the pineapple sorbet from Olympic Mountain Ice Cream (Shelton, WA), a sorbet you just simply must try. They make all their ice creams and sorbets with the actual ingredients in the name of the flavor so everything tastes real, and is not overly sweet as some sorbets from the store can be. We agreed that we must return for a full meal here sometime as the back patio is also very cute and it seemed like the locals come here and enjoy the space. Parking was easy to find and our server was nice and friendly. The wines we had were also quite good. No doubt we will return!

    We had dinner here last week before heading downtown. Both the service and food is great - if you're local like us and ready for a new menu, know that they do offer nightly/ weekly specials. The night we were in, I had a seafood special that was delicious with a saffron sauce and black rice. He had steak, which he enjoyed and I forgot to take a photo of. We shared the bread pudding for dessert, which is so much better to eat fresh when dining in than it is to bring home and reheat.

    Hostess made us feel as though it was an imposition to seat us on the patio. "Patio is apparently for 4 tops only". She brought us back and there was a table for two open and ready. Waiter was very rushed the entire time. He stated he was the only server left, which explained his urgency. Last order of Lamb. Tough and overcooked. Could not use my knife because of the bone and small chop. Used my Mediterranean finger eating skills. 1 point for me! Homemade desert and coffee fantastic! Should I try again?

    Voila is a very quaint French Bistro restaurant that was my first meal in Seattle. The service was very friendly and very open to recommendations. I wanted to start with some traditional French Onion soup which was tasty. It was nice to know that they used traditional Gruyère Cheese. I then had their Beef Bourguignon which was the first time I had had the dish. It had an interesting flavor and not having it before, I am not able to compare it to other versions. The wine selections were nice and being with my cousin and his partner, we had a nice visit and dinner. Give it a try but call ahead for reservations to make sure you have a table.

We didn't experience any of the hiccups we experienced last year and very much enjoyed the wine and food and ambience. They offered tastes of five different sparkling from France, Spain, Italy and Germany. The flavors and degree of bubbles varied and were all very enjoyable in different ways. The woman at the tasting station was great--she provided short but informative tales of each of the wines (a little about the grapes, the vineyard, fun facts about the wineries, etc). We bought three different bottles of some of the wines we tasted which were reasonably priced ($28-$40 per bottle). My husband loved the oysters and ordered an additional 6 of the wildcats. I had the mushroom toast which had great meaty and earthy flavor. I also tried the spruce tip ice cream which was pine-y and unique and very creative (covered in quinoa crispies!). Service was friendly and speedy. My husband and I love Bottlehouse and recommend for anyone looking for unique wines and creative comfort foods in a cozy environment

Last time the owner himself was there talking to us and he was amazing. But sometimes I come in and there is different staff that is so mean. This time I drove all the way from Queen Anne, and the lady looked at us (we are younger) and rolled her eyes and put us in the worst seat imaginable and asked if we had reservations. Then another older couple came in after with no reservations two minutes later and she graciously escorted them to the main room. Kinda an L because we are regulars and big spenders here. I got up and left.

    CAGETTE WINE BAR: WHERE CABERNET MEETS CABLE CROSSES…read more Listen, while other wine bars in Madison Valley are busy being pretentious about their French pronouns, Cagette has transformed itself into the Gold's Gym of grape juice. Their sommelier doesn't just wear a tastevin around his neck - he wears it WITH A WEIGHTLIFTING BELT. The wall of vintage Gold's Gym Venice Beach photos mixed with First Growth Bordeaux bottles is nothing short of INSPIRATIONAL. Arnold's famous posed double bicep shot is perfectly positioned between the Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Barolo section, creating what they call the "Pump & Pour" corner. Their wine flights are served on custom metal trays shaped like weight plates. The "Franco Columbu Collection" of Italian reds arrives on a mini bench press rack, and you have to complete three reps before they'll pour your Brunello. The dedication to the aesthetic is STAGGERING. You haven't lived until you've experienced their "Muscle Beach Merlot Mondays" where the sommelier spots you through a vertical tasting while shouting encouragement like "LIGHTWEIGHT BABY" and "AIN'T NOTHING BUT A PEANUT" between sips. Their wine descriptions include both tasting notes AND the optimal rep range for maximum gains. The "Lou Ferrigno Lounge" area features leather seats made from recycled weightlifting belts, and every wine glass has grip knurling. Their coasters are miniature versions of the original Gold's Gym logo, and they refuse to serve anything less than full-bodied wines because "light wines are for WIMPS." Their "Pumping Iron" wine club (which meets in what they call The Dungeon, a clear homage to the original Gold's basement) requires members to deadlift their wine allocation before taking it home. The sight of someone clean-and-jerking a case of Grand Cru Burgundy is both terrifying and beautiful. Five stars for creating a space where wine snobs and gym bros can finally coexist in perfect harmony. I've witnessed heated debates about both proper squat form AND proper wine storage temperature, often in the same conversation. P.S. Their "No Pain No Pour" policy seems strict, but you haven't lived until you've seen someone do burpees for a better pour of Barolo. P.P.S. The bathroom mirrors are positioned at optimal flexing angles, and the hand soap dispensers are shaped like dumbbells. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Note: This review was written while watching their sommelier demonstrate proper clean-and-jerk form using a methuselah of champagne as a training weight. Special Addendum: To the customer who complained about the mandatory flex pose before entering the reserve wine room - this is about CULTURE, Karen. Final Thought: Never has there been a more perfect fusion of fine wine and fitness culture. It's like if Joe Weider opened a wine bar and Franco Columbu was the beverage director. Remember: Every wine glass comes with its own "PR" (Personal Record) tracking card, and yes, they do measure your wine lifting form. No kipping allowed on the Bordeaux pulls. Warning: Side effects may include excessive use of phrases like "crushing it," "lightweight baby," and "yeah buddy" while discussing vintage vertical tastings. P.P.P.S. Their new "Swole Somm Certification" program requires both blind tasting skills AND a minimum bench press requirement. As it should.

There is now a privacy shield on the window if you sit in a lower seat so that car headlights don't shine in your face. There are games too if you are here with a friend or few friends. As a solo person I can sit and enjoy a wine and not be bothered. Which is lovely when I want to sit, read, write and or take notes for my Yelp reviews, lol. Josh always has excellent suggestions. I trust his taste implicitly. If I don't know what I want, I tell him what I like, and he will make a great suggestion. Barrels is a perfect spot to do it!
