La Vie French Restaurant

La Vie has been one of our go to restaurants for over 15 yrs. You can have a excellent French/Vietnamese meal at a very good price. Meals include Fresh bread, Soup, Salad and entree in the mid 20 dollar range. Corkage is very reasonable. Excellent service. Not fancy but food is very good and well worth a visit. Reservations recommended on weekends.

This place is amazing! I will be going again! Such a Hidden gem!

Escargot - good taste but kind of salty for most of us.

Soup - tasted like those cream soups from packages but it wasn't bad.

Salad - butter lettuce with good sauce. But only one cherry tomato. They could have added more because the salad was so simple and plain that it didn't seem interesting (especially for foodies and photos)

Chilean Seabass - very good and flaky. Capers and lemon added a nice touch. Could use more garlic to give the flavor more of an umph.

Duck - tasted gamey and very fatty. Although duck is more fatty, this was very fatty.

Shrimp and Scallop - kind of salty. Shrimp was whole which is good because some places cut theirs in half.

Each plate had snap peas, rice and sweet potato puree which again seemed like more could have been added. It was so sparsely plated.

Service was good. I would say above normal expectations for a place run by older Asians. I know it's a bad stereotype but they usually hustle you in and out but not here. They actually served.

Me and my wife have been going there for about two months. It has become one of our favorite regular restaurant. Food is good, yes portion is a little small, but I think it's perfect for Asians. On a busy night, they might be a little short handed. But they're trying their best, it's just some of the waitress ain't experience enough.

Cozy bistro perfect for dinners for 2 or 4. Nice selection of standard French fare with reasonable prices. Never disappointed by food quality. Service is attentive but not overbearing. Closed Tuesdays!
