    From making reservations, to the welcome; from the bar to the table and kitchen, the staff is outstanding. The Counter Menu was fantastic. A great experience.

    Shockingly great meal in the middle of nowhere. Can't beat such a meal at this price! Definitely a do-over.

    Parking is right next to restaurant but hard to see at night. The sign looks like this, I loved our dinner experience & recommend it for foodies who have enjoyed Komi, etc.

    Excellent! Table 21 with wine pairing is a must. In essence you sample the entire menu. Parking in the rear is a nice bonus.

    Volt is housed in a 19th century, 3 story, 8,000 sq. ft. brick mansion, and is partly owned by “Top Chef” season 6 contestant Bryan Voltaggio!

    Ask for a table with a view of the kitchen especially when Chef Bryan is here! For an overnight trip try Hill House around the corner!

    You HAVE to make reservations at Table 21! It's booked a year in advance but you can get on a wait list for a specific week. Call everyday to check for cancellations! Worth it!

    The ultimate indulgence is Table 21 in the kitchen, where Voltaggio crafts a 21-course meal as up to eight diners watch.

    Pretentious nonsense. People spend the money to say they were here. Go to a good restaurant, save money, and lie.
