I live and work in Decatur and own my own business. Since I'm always pressed for time but want to eat well, Voila is -- Voila! -- the answer to my prayers. I've frequented Voila many times since they opened about 4 months ago, usually for quick lunches or take-home dinners --and the food is consistently fresh, well-prepared, delicious & perfectly seasoned -- AND you can either sit down inside the quaint cafe (the atmosphere is cozy, low-key yet upscale, the ambience comfortable and inviting), out on the small open-air patio (great for people-watching or just taking a breather), or take it to go (if you're really in a hurry, you can either call ahead to pre-order, then come pick up when ready, or choose from several popular pre-prepared take-out entrees and side dishes that are made fresh daily and kept cool, ready-to-go & visible in a refrigerated glass case).**********\r
\r
**********From appetizers (the satiating, light yet creamy squash soup -- warm or cool -- is soothingly divine; the 5-cheese/sundried tomato spread w/crostini, delectable) to salads (the Voila signature house salad consists of greens, goat cheese, cranberries, walnuts, grapes, and pears bathed in a harmonious balsamic vinaigrette) to sandwiches (the chicken salad sandwich is hefty and complex, punctuated with apples, walnuts, grapes, and celery, and accented with tarragon; veggie croquettes -- available either a la carte or as a wrap sandwich are enhanced with a delightfully addictive Indian herb sauce) to entrees (herb-crusted tilapia served w/accompanying rice pilaf and green salad or a quarter roast chicken served w/ accompanying apple & potato gratin and green salad), the choices are pleasing to both the palate AND the wallet (an astoundingly affordable $5-$12!)\r
\r
**********All sandwiches and burgers (they offer both beef and a yummy black bean-veggie option) come with either tangy slaw or fried potatoes -- and btw, these aren't like french fries at all, but more like Greek potatoes without the grease -- fresh, hand-diced into small squares and pan-sauteed, vegetables (grilled or steamed), and a choice selection of beverages (from premium bottled waters, sodas, lemonade and juices to gourmet coffee, beer and wine), as well as scrumptious desserts from the renowned Southern Sweets Bakery, round out the mouth-watering menu.\r
\r
**********I usually sleep in and hibernate on Sundays, so I haven't had a chance to try their Sunday brunch yet, but I hear it is absolutely amazing. Also, the boxed gourmet toffee for sale near the cash register is the only pricey (yet worth every penny) thing here -- it is to-die-for-scrumptious, and somehow -- amazingly, implausibly -- doesn't stick to your teeth at all!\r
