Great service . Make sure you wear something stretchy since it’s so much food
Definitely a girls night type of vibe. I would recommend this place for dinner, I’m not sure about the brunch.
Fresh seafood absolutely amazing! Would recommend La Vie to anybody looking to have a special night
Great food (brunch). The igloo was beautiful and warm. Great service as well.
It was an experience! I have always wanted to be wined and dined. I chose this place to treat myself for my birthday. This was definitely the place to do it! Fine dining, I loved it!
We were here for my fiancé’s 30th birthday. Dinner on the terrace was amazing ! 😍 very chic decor & every single bite of food was delicious. Our server was very attentive and the view of the Wharf was beautiful. 🙌🏾
Very romantic ambiance during sunset hours on the heated terrace overlooking the wharf. The 3 course meal was superb! I definitely recommend for a date night.
For the price, the food was not worth it. I made a reservation for 7:30 and we weren’t seated until 7:50. We were seated on the terrace at a table where the heaters weren’t on us, and we were closest to the part of the terrace that’s completely open and susceptible to the wind. It was $230 (tip is included), for two people for the four course meal. It seems like they think the extravagant decor could make up for the food’s lack of flavor and make the price worth it, but it’s not.
Save your money and go somewhere else.
Great service and design. Just a little too cold & breezy.
Very charming spot with gorgeous view of the Potomac
Excellent food and drinks- and the ambiance is fantastic. Highly recommend!
La Vie was amazing!!!!!! Went to celebrate my girlfriends birthday and we were not disappointed. We both ordered the lamb and i had the all smoke no fire drink which was delicious and the presentation was amazing!!!! Our dinner was in the chandelier room which was breathtaking
Great food and great service. A great place to celebrate any occasion.
Wonderful food and staff
New beginnings
Everything was excellent!!!! The staff was really nice and the food was delicious!
La Vie was absolutely amazing. From the service, to the food, to the ambience, it was truly an experience.
I had the best time, enjoying my birthday brunch at La Vie. The weather was perfect, food was delicious, drinks were great, and the service was even better!
If you're looking for an ENDLESS brunch & mimosas with great views/vibes... La Vie is your spot!
I had the best time celebrating my birthday at La Vie! The customer service was amazing and the food was too. I can’t wait to revisit.
Excellent seating to feel comfortable, great ambiance, great service and food. Excellent recommendations and bday experience
From the first moment we arrived, they checked our reservation and saw the special request about it being a birthday. They made it all special. Everyone was in smiles, being helpful, and the food was amazing. I ordered lamp chops while my partner ordered the “catch of the day.” She’s a huge foodie and told me the fish was perfectly delicate. My lamp chops were cooked the way I liked it. Thank you again for the experience.
Very nice restaurant to eat at and the food is very good!
Great atmosphere. Waiter was generous until we didn’t feel like ordered &200 worth of food. 3/5
First dinner with my wife after our marriage. The experience was awesome!!
Loved it!!
Incredible Food! Be sure you order the cotton candy baked Alaska for desert... you read that right. The presentation is phenomenal, have your camera ready!
Amazing server (Peter) was charming and knowledgeable... take his recommendations. He’s a true pro.
If you know anything about bourbon you know Uncle Nearly... they do a smoked presentation that is unique. Yeah, I know the idea of peach and bourbon NEVER would have been my idea but it works... give it a try.
I highly recommend this place!
Server was amazing and it’s just beautiful
Thank you for the great review!! We appreciate the feedback! :)
Outstanding
The meal was great, it was a birthday dinner and the staff was very attentive. When our waiter was dealing with another customer, he sent over a manager to take our order. Ensuring that we got our orders in a timely manner. The restaurant was fantastic. Beautiful scenery, and we were able to have a window seat. Go in for the cotton candy and chocolate ice cream cake flambé it’s amazing
Thank you for the great review!!! We are doing our best to make sure everyone has a great experience during these trying times!! WE are so happy you had an awesome experience.
My only negative thing to say was that after our meal I asked our waiter, Calvin (who was awesome), to take a group picture of us. He said absolutely and asked us did we want to go out on the terrace to take it for better lighting - we said sure. We went into the terrace room and took the pic and he walked away after he was done. As we were getting up to walk out a lady (who just stood by the bathroom hall the entire time we were there) comes rushing in telling us (actual words) "y'all can't be in here, this is private dining you need to leave, why are you in here?" We explained we were only taking a picture and that it was OUR WAITER'S idea, not ours we didn't even know said room existed, she continued to basically disregard us and tell us to get out of the room. Which by the way there were only 3 tables dining in that room and one table was extremely nice to us as we were there celebrating a birthday and so were they. It did not look like any private dining was going on or private parties. Her approach was way off and rude. Other than that service was great & food was amazing!
Sincere apologies for what occurred. We had a new security individual that day and she wasn't properly trained. Right now during COVID we have a lot of new restrictions and seeing from your review one of our new security individuals tried to enforce it a bit too enthusiastically. We have counselled her and also spoken with Kelvin. Again, our sincere apologies for what occurred, that is not the experience we want to convey.
Great biew
Thank you for all 5 stars review!
Good place and beautiful restaurant , excellent food , just drinks little expensive
Thank you for the great review!
As always, La Vie is absolutely AMAZING. I'm a frequent flyer but I invited my sister to dinner and her first experience left her speechless. I will continue to come back as long as the quality of service and food remains the same. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT, GREAT, GREAT REVIEW :) :) :)
This is the best brunch I have ever had in my whole entire life. It was life changing. And bottomless mimosas? Service was amazing and the entire place was beautiful. Coming back next month for my 22nd birthday.. if COVID doesn't ruin it!
Our server, Mitch, was great. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I had the le vie af drink which was strong!
Follows by the oysters (so good) and the squid ink pasta with lobster. They did not skimp on the lobster! Overall great experience and many covid protocols in place
Thank you for the great review about Mitch and your experience. We try to give guests the best value and experience when they come in here and we are happy we met your expectations. We also will do something special for Mitch because this is his first great review posted!!! side note ( he just started recently) Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you again!
Great Thanksgiving Menu! Being away from family for work, this made up for it and provided a wonderful meal. My co-workers also enjoyed it very much.
We are so happy we were able to make your Thanksgiving special :) Thank you for choosing to spend it with us!
Front of building; Lady’s check-in customers need to be attentive to everybody walking up; white, black, green or yellow
Our Sincere apologies... We've been working on this situation. Our host staff is 9/10 friendly and attentive, not ray cist in any form or fashion, but they seem to have the attention span of the dog in the movie "UP." We have readdressed this at our meeting and have made proactive measure to ensure that the host team is on point. Mea Culpa. Please let us know the next time you come in and our Chief Operating Officer Aamir Mohd will make sure you are taken care of. Warm Regards
Food was pretty good, and the location was excellent. I had the lamb chops which were ok but I would come back and order a seafood dish per my friends recommendations.
Thank you for the overall great review. We are sorry that the lamb didn't meet your expectations. Hopefully you can give us another try. If you do come in, please speak to Jean-Paul, our General Manager and he will make sure everything is perfect on this next go around.
Amazing ambiance and decor. Food was great! 5 stars . We had brunch and everything we ordered was delicious no complaints. The only negative was service. Maybe brunch is a very busy time but our waiter was very slow. There is a strict 2 hour time limit so u really have to get your orders in a timely fashion. Our waiter wasn’t as attentive as we needed him to be. We had to look for him to refill our drinks and he didn’t follow up after food was delivered to the table . He was slow or maybe overwhelmed that day.
Hi Pretty, thank you for taking the time to leave an overall great review. We apologize for the drinks not coming out in a timely manor. That is on us. If possible we would love to talk to you and make this right. Please reach out to Jean-Paul, our General Manger, or Fidencio Rubio, our Beverage Director. We are constantly trying to make "La Vie" the best it can be and we are sorry that we fell short this time. Warm Regards
Amazing service, the view was beautiful. Food was delicious and the inside was gorgeous.
Thank you for the excellent review. We are pleased that everything met your expectations!
