La Vie - Reserva de mesa

Reservations can only be made over the phone. I arrived at 5 PM as the first customer, and the lights and air conditioning were off. There was no host present, so a kitchen staff member with limited English seated me and handed me a menu. Another staff member brought water, and I noticed the thermostat read 91 degrees. When I inquired about the air conditioning, I was told it wasn’t broken but that it was peak energy usage time. They turned on the A/C but didn’t turn on the lights. A server arrived a bit later; while he was friendly, he wasn't particularly attentive and spent a lot of time looking at his phone. He failed to mention the daily specials, didn't provide a wine list, and didn’t a...

I would leave negative stars if I can because I haven 't been this disappointed in a restaurant in a long time. I ordered the rabbit in wine and I didn 't taste any wine at all; the sauce that covered it was extremely salty and briny and reminded me of that gravy sauce I used to have for school lunch that no one ever finished and no amount of water could quench my thirst. The escargot was also very salty and it tasted like briny clams. Overall, just SALT SALT SALT. The chilean sea bass was way too small for the price (36.99); if I had known about the price, I would not have ordered it. I also don 't understand what they were going for with the salad; it was 3 huge pieces of lettuce leaves sm...

La Vie Restaurant offers a hidden gem in a small plaza. With around 12 tables, this quaint spot specializes in classic French cuisine prepared by skilled chefs. The service is friendly and attentive, making the experience even more delightful. The journey began with escargot in butter and garlic, a perfect match for the complimentary bread. A simple yet delicious salad followed, showcasing the power of minimalism. The filet mignon stole the spotlight with its tenderness, covered in mushroom and Demi glacé sauce. At first taste, the sauce's slight saltiness harmonized wonderfully with the carrot purée. The inclusion of the soup and salad with the entree made it an excellent value, essentially...

While I appreciate the complimentary bread, soup, and salad, I would have preferred larger portion sizes. I also ordered the Chilean sea bass, which was disappointingly small for the hefty price of $36.99; had I known the cost beforehand, I likely wouldn't have chosen it. I'm bewildered by the salad, which consisted of three massive pieces of lettuce drenched in sauce and a single random tomato. I even researched French salads online to see if I was mistaken, but I couldn't find anything that resembled that dish. The bread had become hard and dry within half an hour—almost like a rock. The atmosphere of the restaurant was just as lifeless as a corpse. The lights were dimmed throughout th... Reserva una mesa ahora

The duckling was incredible, boasting a perfect texture with just the right amount of chew. The citrus sauce is absolutely divine! The lamb chops were expertly salted and cooked just right—none of that overcooked nonsense. You absolutely must try the escargot; it's the most tender and buttery bite I’ve ever had, with just the right amount of salt. The service was exceptional—attentive without being intrusive. They even treated us to complimentary soup, salad, and coffee or tea. The ambiance is cozy and unpretentious. While the decor and exterior may be a bit dated, they create a warm and inviting atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised to find fresh flowers on each table, indicating the care...

They turned us away. The restaurant closes at 9:00pm; my son and I arrived at 8:17pm and they turned us away. They said their kitchen closed at 8:15pm. I informed the gentleman that my 7 year old just wanted to try their escargot and he basically said too bad. They closed their kitchen at 8:15 pm so they couldn't serve us. I still can't believe it. We drove from 30 min away so my son could try escargot. It was on his bucket list for his last week of summer vacation. I'm sure their food is delicious, we will never know. Unbelievably rude.

This spot is by far the one of the best French restaurants I've tasted! Y'all definitely need to check this mom and pop shop out! Food: amazing! All of their food is fresh and cooked excellently! They serve fresh baked bread and butter, then a salad and soup, and your entree shortly after. The steak was a special that night and was SO good. The flavors were well seasoned. Service: good! They are a mom and pop shop so they have a good relationship with the customers. They check in frequently and run the front of house pretty well!

The escargot was simply fantastic, and the rack of lamb was truly exceptional. The scallops were also a standout, expertly prepared. Although it might be surprising to find a French restaurant owned by an Asian team, they certainly provide authentic French cuisine worthy of five stars. This unique mix of culinary influences enhances the charm of La Vie. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking outstanding French dishes. It's a real hidden gem and a must-try. Reserva una mesa ahora
