Food was superb! As expected for a good French restaurant, this is not an inexpensive restaurant, but was worth every penny!

This was our second time eating @ La Bonne Vie and the food was delicious, just like last time. We brought our friends to join us, and we all agreed we had to return. In addition, the staff is excellent and the restaurant was not noisy. We had a delicious, relaxing meal.

Lovely place for a date. Escargot and Coq au Riesling Pie were very salty. Meatball appetizer was good. Not worth the price though.

Vist this restaurant as soon as you can. The atmosphere is elegant, the service is great (we had a lovely chat with the owners), and the food is outstanding. The Coq Au Riesling Pie is superb ...the owner's wife makes it herself
