There is a "balcony" area upstairs with beautiful chairs which gives an impression of people drinking their coffee outside after a long day. The brick oven they use to bake the pitas is out for all to see how they are freshly baked. The food was fresh and seasoned well. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered- and we had a good selection. We ordered the hummus, Branzino, tabouleh, fattoush, cheese rolls, baba ganouj, labneh, makanek, kibbeh, zesty cauliflower, Sirocco salad, and the Sirocco grill. Giovanni was an awesome server - very patient, professional, and attentive. He cleared our table and brought us fresh cutlery and plates after our appetizers without us having to request it. Both my kids and my father (who is very particular when eating out) had a great experience.

Once inside, you truly feel transported to Lebanon, complete with a gorgeous olive tree right in the middle of the restaurant over the bar. ​Our waiter, Khaled, is simply the best! He always has a big smile and is full of positive energy--we honestly need more people like him in this world. ​For food, the Lebanese cheese rolls were absolutely delicious and packed with cheese (they look a bit like Chinese spring rolls). I ordered the chicken piccata with risotto, which was seasoned beautifully. ​The ambiance here is wonderful. One of the family owners was also incredibly attentive, coming by to ensure we were well taken care of. It was such a nice touch and clearly shows how much they care about their customers having a great dining experience.

The food was inconsistent - - some of the beef dishes were fairly authentic and quite tasty. The lamb chops were overcooked - but still tasty. Unfortunately, some of the more "exotic dishes" fell down: My Lamb Tagine was really disappointing. The lamb itself was tender but the flavors were lacking - there was no depth in the sauce and, other than two cooked plums, there were no vegetables. There were not anywhere enough servers for the restaurant - it was a Saturday night and there was a nice crowd. Too bad; La Vie has potential but it did not deliver.

The first thing we noticed, which was a bit unexpected, was the decor. The ambiance was really nice and inviting. This is the type of restaurant where someone could host a party. The service was really good too. We received water almost immediately after being seated, and our server came by shortly after. The manager stopped by throughout our visit to provide recommendations, and he was really nice. It made the experience feel more personal. For our appetizer, we ordered the Baba Ghannouj, which complemented the pita bread really well. It was our first time having it, and we did not know what to expect, but it was great. It was really flavorful, and we finished it wanting more. For our entrees, we had the Lamb Chops and the Seafood Tagine. The lamb chops were great. It was not a huge portion, but the meat was flavorful and cooked well. The presentation was also really nice. The Seafood Tagine looked great, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. Everything about the dish worked well together, and we felt that all the flavors complemented one another. There was a good harmony between the ingredients. For dessert, we ordered the Kunafa, which was another first for us. We had never had it before, but the description really sold us on it. It was really good. This is the kind of dessert that is best shared since it is a little heavy. Toward the end of our visit, a belly dancer came out to perform, and it was really exciting. La Vie is a great restaurant, and we will definitely return. We felt as though we got a true Mediterranean experience during our visit.

We started with batata harra and cheese bulak. Both were great! The potatoes in the batata harra were very well seasoned and flavorful. The cheese bulak was good but might be a little off putting if your not use to mintiness in your cheese. A belly dancer came out and went around to all the tables and really engaged with everyone. For our entrees we got chicken tagine and lamb chops. I must say the lamb chops were phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. I definitely recommend getting them medium. All in all if you're looking for something different definitely go check it out!

I love ethnic food of all sorts, and it's not easy to find a good Lebanese in my area, so I was happy to check it out. And I'm glad I did. First, the server could not have been nicer. He was jolly and patient and answered all of my questions. I placed an order for kabobs (because you can't go wrong with that), and enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant as I sipped my Diet Coke. The food soon came, and it was delicious. I even had dessert, which I'm trying not to do so much, but they had baklava, and I can't resist. And it was awesome. Definitely a great restaurant and one that needs to be visited again and again. I have more dental work to do, so I'm sure I'll be back.
