Excellent customer service. Great view of the Potomac River. Delicious food, we had crab dip, shrimp tacos, lobster roll and salmon. All were delicious 😋 fries with old Bay were yummy too.
We were walking to the park and smelled the food coming from Vola’s and decided to eat there at a whim. Despite not making a reservation we got seated within 10 minutes! Our waitress was friendly and the service was good. They have pretty good happy hour specials, $6 cocktails and $3 beer. The fish was fresh and served hot! The hush puppies were just okay (3/10). The fries were good but definitely not old bay style, there was no seasoning at all on them. They have a great view of the waterfront!! Would come back because the food was fresh and served hot with a decent drink special!
Vola’s is a great place! Enjoyed lunch here, sitting by the water on a beautiful day. Service is good, food is delicious, and the drinks were great.
The Poke was delicious, great fresh flavor but it needs some crunch. Actually paired really well with the chips provided for the crab dip!
The Fried shrimp basket was also very good. The shrimp were cooked well, not over cooked. The fries were crisp on the outside and soft inside, very tasty.
Highly recommend, we’ll be back.
A friend recommended Vola's and it was excellent! My Wife had the shrimp and fries basket, which she loved, and I had the fettuccine which was highly recommended by our waiter Travis and it's no wonder it's his favorite dish. It was amazing. Tracy recommend the mango cheesecake for dessert, and it was also great. We went in the early and sunny afternoon before the evening crowds. The ambiance and views from dock seating and sitting by the water and seeing the geese and ducks was nice and relaxing. Tracy and Travis provided excellent service and we will definitely go back!
I've been to a lot of places and the food and service here was amazing! During our time, a horrible storm came over us and not only did the staff make sure we got to a safer area. They pulled out umbrellas and walked each person to a dry place. Really went out of the way! Views are amazing
