La Vie

Best Toasted Farro & Beet Trio
Omelette aux Fines Herbes are also very Delicious ????????

$18 for a small salty omlette and salad. Also slow service. Would not recommend.

Visited Vi Vie in JFK for the first time. I had a salad that was food for the soul. Grains beets etc.... excellent service by Joseph.

Let's start with the caveat that this is a review for a restaurant in an airport. As my wife pointed out, I shouldn't give concessions to it just for that. But I will compare it to other airport meals I've had in the past. This is one of the better ones, in terms of the food. Certainly not in terms of the service, nor the environment, nor the incredibly loud, ear ringing clatter that happened throughout the meal. There seemed to be only one person on duty, and she was frazzled. I don't hold that against her, as that's something the owners should be dealing with, but the outcome was that she was unable to pay attention to most anybody for any period of time that would've made the experience pleasant. The restaurant seems to have been designed to generate and retain as much sound as possible. The walls were tile, the floor was tile and the ceiling was something akin to tin. It was as if they deliberately wanted to make sure that the place was as audibly annoying as possible to ensure fast turnaround. If it wasn't a deliberate choice, someone severely screwed up in the planning stages. But the food was good enough. That's about the level of quality I think it deserves to be labeled as. We each got the breakfast quesadillas with potatoes. They were stuffed full of ingredients that are as quality as you'll find in an airport, and the flavors worked. Look, if you have to eat a meal at the airport, and you're not interested in fast food, you could do worse.
