As happened to other reviewers, they did a bait and switch on us. When we arrived, they told us they had a private party and couldn't honor the reservation. They stuck us in a related restaurant. Also, be aware that they added a 20 percent gratuity for our party of two ($200 bottle of wine is now $240) and a 3.5 percent credit card usage fee. We'll never go back.

I love La Vie, but was very annoyed by the wait time. My reservation was at 230, was not seated until 340. Then had to share a table with two other people, who seemed just as annoyed. The waiter was great, he was able to get us something that was not on the brunch menu! But unfortunately after waiting over an hour, we had only about 10 minutes to eat before we needed leave. My first experience here was amazing, this time; not so much.

I brought my daughter-in-law here for her birthday dinner and it was absolutely wonderful.! The ambience was top-notch so cute and fun and high class. The food was seasoned so good everything we ordered was delicious!!! The views were amazing and once again the ambience was spectacular! It was a great experience. I just wish they would’ve had the Italian Moscato D’Asti Wine available . The wait staff /Customer Service was five stars we felt so taken care of. I will definitely be back !!!
