    Your server may not speak French, but will take time to explain the entire menu, beverage and food, to you, especially if you mention this is the first time visiting Petit Vie. I've never seen such an interesting offering of nonalcoholic beverages. Plenty of appetizers and salads if you don't want a full entrée. Servings are ample and delicious. We decided to start with escargot served with delicious garlic butter and toast points. Our entrees were cod papillote (good side of cod baked in parchment paper) and a vegetarian soufflé. Two entrees and two beverages (one beer on tap and one soda) came to just over $100 for the two of us. You will be pretty close to your neighbor dining guests, regardless of seating at the tables, bar or counter. Squeeze in and enjoy the experience.

    With our reservation we were seated immediately. The atmosphere is nice and the service is excellent! Our server explained the prefix menu and answered all our questions. Servicer also paced out our dishes perfectly, thank you! The only complaint I have is that I ordered the Grilled Ibérico Pork Steak and to our surprise the was pork was the unbelievable size of my pinky finger!!! It should NOT be titled Pork Steak, it should be Pork GARNISH!!! Other than that all the other dish portions were satisfactory given that it’s a tapas restaurant portions are smaller than a usual, but the paella is a good amount to fill you. As for the taste of our food, it was ALL delicious. Street parking is difficult to find, but there is a paid parking lot a few blocks away and restaurant has valet parking service.
