Went for the first time, wanted to experience a nice roof top bar/restaurant. The ambience is nice, the service was good but we ordered the steak and it was awful. The fries tasted better. People say the pizza is good but we didn’t try it. We had the olives with crostini for an app and that was good. The view was nice and the drinks were very good! Would probably try again but maybe order a pizza.

C'est La Vie is our go-to place for special events, quiet dinners, and chatty lunches. We had tickets to a Fulton Matinee and had a relaxing and delicious lunch before the show. I especially love the outdoor seating with umbrellas and great atmosphere.

Delays in some services. Under the circumstances overall it was a good experience. The management was a little lax for a holiday.
