Chef Vola is clearly more than just a place to eat. It's a cult classic that is known primarily through word of mouth. People mention the restaurant in the basement, the place where you have to know someone to get in, the restaurant with no sign in front, etc. Go to their website and you're told: no information here...this is... more

I took my boyfiend here for his birthday.
