La Vie Lebanese Restaurant

Was very nice

We went on Monday 7:00, we had 6 adults, our server Carlos was phenomenal! He made great suggestions- we loved the homemade pitas, chicken shish kabobs, lamb, steak kabobs, for desert Kanafeh- was excellent! Ambiance was beautiful and everyone had a fun time! Will definitely go back!

Our meal at La Vie was delectable. We were intrigued to try Lebanese food and La Vie did not disappoint! The bread was a puffy flatbread which could be spread with a delightfully herbed butter, filled with a stunning olive tapenade, or drizzled with a fresh, lively olive oil. We started our dinner with a small order of the Kibbeh Nayeh, which is a "Lebanese Version of Steak Tartare, Ground Beef, Cracked Wheat, Onion, Mint, Basil, Special Seasoning, Topped with Olive Oil." We ordered it medium spicy and wished we had gotten the hot spicy version. Another gentleman diner got the spicy and raved about it. The dish is different, delicious and huge. Two of us could not finish it. For our main dish we ordered the Mixed Grill for Two. We requested the skewers of meat be medium-rare and they were served with fragrant Basmati rice and skewers of veggies. Cooked to perfection. We brought home about 1/3 of the food as the portions are very generous. We will return.

Everything was delicious and the service was great. Always a 5 star experience.

My friends and I loved the live entertainment and ambience of the restaurant. The food was very good especially the chicken tajine. Highly recommend this restaurant!

The service was excellent and the food was fresh and tasty. My only complaint was when I made reservations, the only option available was seating at the bar, but when I arrived and even after I left, there were plenty of table seating spots available. I was a single diner, but I prefer table service. The bar tender was very attentive and I even caught the belly dancing show (although, I had no real interest in that aspect of the restaurant). The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated, especially for a “strip mall” restaurant.

The service, food, nice decor an excellent restaurant in general!!!

Amazing!!! Great food very nice people great show !

I dine here every week as a regular and usually the food is fabulous and the waiters (Mohammed and Rashid) are fantastic. However, I suppose, since the new hostess didn't know me, she sat me at a table serviced by Carlos, someone who DOES NOT speak Arabic, and was a horrendous waiter. When I dine, I dine for the entire experience(conversing with the waiters in their language, asking about life in their country, asking for recommendations, etc.) The entrees came before the appetizer (Carlos obviously forgot to order the appetizer). I requested that new meals be prepared instead of leaving the entrees under a heat lamp for half an hour until we ate them. Appetizer took another 20 min. To come out (we have been waiting about 30-40 min. Since we sat down at this point). When the entrees did arrive my chicken La Vie was stringy and dried out (alla heat lamp). The Manager who knew me corrected the situation, however, it did not make for a pleasant evening. I DEFINITELY recommend this place as the food is authentic Lebanese and Morrocain but I would expect quality service for the higher-end pricing that they charge (for the area). Note to self: make sure u request Mohammed or Rashid and NEVER AGAIN CARLOS!!

This place is amazing. What a find! My husband and I love Lebonese food and it’s almost impossible to find Kibbeh. We’ve been here several times and we are definitely going back. Love the food and the ambience. Would recommend to anyone

As always excellent food and excellent service by Ahmed

Waiter Omar was great.

Went for date night and was impressed with the wonderful service and food. This was the first Lebanese restaurant I've been too and I want to go back, especially to see the live performances. I recommend!

Mohamad was a great host to us. the rest of the staff was fantastic. we found the restaurant on a whim and knew as soon as we walked in that we were in for a special meal. the food was scrumptious! definitely will be back even since the restaurant is located an hour away from home base.

Wasn’t expecting this place to look like it did since it’s in a shopping mall. But boy was I surprised. The ambiance in this place was phenomenal. The food? Out of this world. Everyone needs to go!!! So amazing

One of the best middle eastern restaurants in South Florida. Food is fantastic. Service, right on point. Always a favorite.

Delicious food and the staff was very professional. This restaurant is worth the drive.

This is my second visit to La Vie, it was a pretty good experience. The show was good, the dance amazing! The food was ok..the pita I believe was probably a left over from the lunch service. The service was good, not great..but good. I can't put a finger on it, but the first time I went was with my husband, and the place came highly recommended by our friend. We didn't know that we needed a reservation, but one of the owners was gracious enough to give us a table and we enjoyed the show as well. THAT time, the service was amazing!! the food was amazing!!..the entire experience was great..and I am not easily impressed. This time around with my girls' night out..I felt a bit 'down' by the service..the server did do his job..but he kinda floated by. Will I come back?..yes..will I bring friends and family..yes..but La Vie..I want it ALL!!!!!!

I've been to La Vie a few times before and have always been pleased with dining here. This time my in-laws joined me for dinner, and we had a delightful meal.

La Vie is a wonderful local restaurant that offers delicious and fresh food. The cuisine is authentic. If you are looking to try something new I highly recommend you go and try it.. or if you have traveled abroad and miss the food then this is the spot that will bring you back!

It was a good night out

Went there to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Food was fantastic, service was outstanding, entertainment was great. Overall perfect dining experience. Definitely will go back.

Service was outstanding

One of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been to, and the food was fantastic!

Six of us dining, out for a birthday celebration. Some dishes are spicy so be sure to ask your waiter, Grouper on 2 occasions was very over cooked, mushy and small portion. Rest of meals were very good and a good time was had by all.

My third time there and now I bought my friends and family and everybody loved it great food great service great entertainment.

Great restaurant. The food is amazing, the service is excellent and entertainment was very enjoyable.
Love the decor and will return again. The Lebanese wine was outstanding.

What a jem of a restaurant. The four of us shared a vegetable Tangine, chicken shawarma, Beef Kafka, Excellent Food!

We were seated too far from dancer and music even though we reserved well in advance

Following a random conversation with a Florida family in boca we were recommended La vie . An amazing Lebanese restaurant with great staff - special mention to sobian who was so helpful in accommodating us - we hadn't made reservations. superb food and excellent value for money- Highly recommend - suggest you make a reservation at weekend

We had a reservation on a busy Friday. Great atmosphere decent wine list and the food was good too. The meze dishes were well cooked and lamb we had was succulent and moist.

The staff, hostess, manager were mega friendly and hospitality is number one on their priority.

Usually excellent food. We ordered late. Food was cold. ( but delicious)
MO was awesome as usual. Great service

I loved the service and ambience at La Vie. I was a little disappointed in the spinach pie which was very thin and had little spinach in it. It was not truly Lebanese cuisine as I know it. The grape leaves were cold and didn't come with any sauce such as yogurt, etc.

The belly dancer was delightful and very friendly. I enjoyed her quite a bit.

Overall, we enjoyed our meal, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who knows true Lebanese food.

Loved the spicy shrimp.

Amazing food, exceptional service, ambiance and entertainment. We came to celebrate a friends anniversary and we were not disappointed. The signature cocktails were delicious. The lamb tangine was superb. Definitely recommend this hidden treasure and we will be back!

I was told about La Vie Lebanese restaurant by a friend. I checked out other reviews which were very positive. So, my wife, myself and another couple went to enjoy the Mediterranean style food and belly dancing show. We were warmly greeted as we arrived and had our choice of seating. The owner, Abed, came over to say hello and introduce himself. He is running a really great restaurant.
The first thing I noticed was the size and decoration of the room. I thought, wow, this room is the size of a cruise ship dining room. It was soon filled with people enjoying the food and friends. I think many of the people come for the food as much as the belly dancing show. The food, service and atmosphere are top notch and we really enjoyed the evening at La Vie.

We absolutely loved this place! The food and service were impeccable.

This place was amazing...the food, drinks, staff, cuisine and overall ambience was great! I went with a couple of friends who were a bit apprehensive because it was a Mediterranean restaurant but upon walking in, they loved it. We enjoyed our experience so much that we decided to come back for a birthday dinner next month. They also have entertainment which is a plus!

I can not wait to eat here again! The food was great. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was a lot of fun.

What a fun place and very good food to boot. My only criticism that the pours of wine and liquor were a little short of the amt. I would expect for the prices charged. Belly dancer was energetic and enjoyable to watch. The saxophonist while talented played too long and made it difficult for conversation
