Be the first to ReplyAmbiance: 5 Stars exceeds expectations.
Window seats are great in the winter. In the summer, I'd be scared to be by them. Food: Overall the food is good for the price. The steak was a bit chewy but I suppose it's the meat they use. I wish they'd offer an upgrade to a filet. I'd pay. Banana Pancakes tasted like alcohol, would have preferred it without that flavor. Mac and cheese was okay, needed more flavor. Salt and Pepper, maybe a sprinkle of a southern ancestor touch. Chicken and waffle was below average. They use dark meat and it was dry. They should def consider the typical breast. This was my least favorite. The price is average for the Wharf. There is an up charge to cover costs for tip, and other explained items so expect to pay at minimum $100 for one person. We were a table of two and the bill came out to $240 The table was not ready when I got there even with a reservation but they were extremely busy. Overall, it was fun and an excellent experience. Will definitely be back!
Be the first to ReplyThe manager was so rude and wouldn't seat us.
We left and went to ilili next door and had an amazing experience. Some of my party stayed said the food and service was mediocre.
Be the first to ReplyI really love coming to this restaurant however, today just
I really love coming to this restaurant however, today just wasn't it. I went to brunch earlier this afternoon and it was packed. Luckily, we got seated right away. We chose the "ALL YOU CARE TO ENJOY SMALL PLATES" which was $65 each. This does not include drinks. Unfortunately, brunch was very mediocre especially for the amount we're paying. It seems like we're just paying for the aesthetics. Our server was okay but why try hard when there's already gratuity included on the bill. I really love this establishment and don't really know what's happening it's just not the same anymore. I noticed 10 minutes before brunch ends our server starts wandering around so we don't put in another order. This has happened to me twice and it's becoming a pattern. Not sure if they are being told to do so. I'll give this restaurant another chance and see.

This was my second time patronizing La Vie and so far they are two for two. The first time I went was during Covid in the igloos. Both times the food and drinks were good and the customer service makes you feel like family. I felt like each time the servers were personable however they hold the level of respect to not cross any inappropriate lines. This particular time we visited in March of 2023 for my mothers birthday. Everyone, of our party of 4, ordered an entree and the table had at least 2 appetizers. We did not have any complaints. The atmosphere was comfortable and spaced out and had a beautiful view of the wharf. I feel that this establish gets negative feedback for the price but in the end you get what you pay for. They provide an immaculate service and experience.

I went to La Vie for my girlfriend's birthday last week and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The view from our table was really nice, with a stunning panoramic of the city skyline that added to the ambiance of the evening. As for the food, I would say it was just okay. The menu offered a decent selection of dishes, but nothing particularly stood out as extraordinary. We both ordered different entrees and while they were tasty enough, they didn't necessarily blow us away. However, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and intimate which made it a great spot for a special occasion like a birthday celebration. Overall, I would recommend La Vie for its lovely views and casual dining experience.
Be the first to ReplyReally great experience for us visiting DC.
Loved the location, the ambiance, the service. We went for the Saturday brunch special and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely will be going back.
Be the first to ReplyFood: There were plenty of options for vegetarians.
I came here for brunch on a Sunday with a party of 7. We got everything from the brunch menu. Our server brought out everything we wanted to order broken down by portions for 7 people. Favorites: Out of everything we tried, I enjoyed the arancini, caesar salad, black truffle mac & cheese, potato & pepper hash, banana pancake, tiramisu french toast, and dark chocolate mousse parfait. The black truffle mac & cheese was a bit bland in terms of spice for my South Asian taste buds, but otherwise flavorful. Ambiance: I loved the open layout and the glass walls that allowed in natural light with the ability to also marvel at the outside view. The decor was elegant and the tables were comfortably spread out to allow for privacy. Service: All the staff including the front desk, management, and servers were extremely professional and friendly. Less than half of our party had arrived for our reservation time, and the front desk staff were so gracious to hold our reservation and table for up to 25 minutes until the rest of our party arrived. Price: Considering the beautiful waterfront location at the Wharf in DC, variety/quality of the bottomless brunch options, and upscale nature of the restaurant, the price was fair, but not budget friendly.

If you want to impress a first date, impress your mate, or celebrate a birthday, it's La Vie! The food is fresh and seasoned to highlight the natural flavors.
Be the first to ReplyEverything was very good! Parking was a pain but that is
Everything was very good! Parking was a pain but that is not their fault. We waited for our friends (they require 3/4 of the party to be there to be seated) and were seated promptly once they arrived. Service is friendly and helpful. Food was great but... really it was not worth the price. It is just not that level of food. No regrets. A fun night. Probably won't go back.
Be the first to ReplyVery beautiful restaurant.
I love the decor. The food is ok, I can't say it's outstanding or memorable. I went for a birthday brunch. This establishment charges some interesting fees such as a 20% service charge and a 4% surcharge. I don't know if those fees only apply to brunch. Now on to the food...The food was ok as I mentioned previously, the eggs are really bland but I enjoyed everything else that I tried. Initially the service was good, but when it was time to pay and leave, it took a significant amount of time so between that and excessive fees....it's not a bad place but those fees seem predatory. I would not return based on that.
Be the first to ReplyFirst things first, make sure to make your reservation
First things first, make sure to make your reservation ahead of time, as you can't walk-in and dine. Came for a dinner with my girlfriends and it was fabulous. Our server was very kind and knowledgeable! We had the burrata, Branzino fillet, roasted chicken and the decadent marscapone crรจme brรปlรฉe

Update: adding the link to the DC OAG office as I've learned the fee I was charged was not compliant. This review couldn't wait until morning. I've just left La Vie, a DC Wharf staple, for the first time. The skinny: food was good (it's why there are 3 stars not 2) price point absolutely not worth it. Ambiance beautiful and buzzy, service horrible. Overall, there are better places in DC even for a fancy meal that are cost appropriate and have better food. Let me be clear: the cost is never an issue I pay for good quality food, what I don't appreciate paying for is "hype". The food, branzino and terrine pictured, were good no complaints. The complaint is that the price of the branzino and several other items on the menu increased. Inflation you say? Sure EXCEPT they now charge an additional fee on the bill. Upon asking about it I find out it's a fee to cover inflation so they don't have to increase menu prices, lol. Further, we were there for a birthday I put it in the reservation, no dessert and he suggested we keep waiting for it because he put it in. It never came. The waiter was gone for 20 min at one point and barely checked on us. Was the food good, yea. The views, beautiful. Was it worth the cost and hype? Nope.<a href="/redir?url=https%3A%2F%2Foag.dc.gov%2Frelease%2Fconsumer-alert-dc-restaurants-are-barred-charging&s=a1f5fafa4a92cacfb6ac01daecd71842d67110733b6403d9591a8b9277da43fa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">oag.dc.gov/release/consuโฆ</a>
Be the first to ReplyThe service, food and decor at La Vie are all wonderful.
I did the igloo option on the penthouse which requires a rental fee and a deposit which goes towards your final bill. The igloo has a speaker, blankets and a heater as well but I would still recommend dressing for the weather or bringing your own blanket. The igloo uses the mezze menu which includes a wide variety of small plates. I would recommend the kafta sliders, beef souvlaki and lamb chops. I've never visited for dinner or brunch but always hear great reviews. The view is great and this is perfect for a date night or group dinner.

I wish there were MORE stars to give!! I rented an igloo on the penthouse floor for my birthday, our host was D Nice and she was THE BEST HANDS DOWN!!! Her attitude, her knowledge of the food and drinks... she made my birthday VERY special... I will definitely be back to see her.... she needs a raise! whatever it is GIVE IT TO HER!!!! #PiscesGang
Be the first to ReplyThoroughly enjoy my experiences at La Vie.
I've come many times and the service has always been top tier and the food flavorful. I've tried many different items across the menu and nothing disappoints. The restaurant has many rooms to see with beautiful themes in each area. The sunset that you can catch from your view in restaurants adds the perfect ambiance for a great intimate evening. Tonight my server was Miguel and it was extremely attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and kind. We celebrated a birthday and he made sure the birthday girl had a great experience! As mentioned above, I've had many dinner at La Vie and will definitely return for another.
Be the first to ReplyWe had reservations for 4 for brunch and was not able to be
We had reservations for 4 for brunch and was not able to be seated until our friend who got stuck in traffic for 45mins showed up which was rather inconvenient as we are used to getting seated if half the party is there. Restaurant was aesthetically pleasing. Service was great from the food runners however our server himself seemed very distracted and kept forgetting things we asked for.Food was great however we did not like the truffle Mac & fries & the French toast which was very soggy in the middle. Everything else was tasty. The duck carbonara, salads & baklava waffles were extremely delicious!

Definitely recommend the penthouse igloo experience! The view is absolutely gorgeous. Food was delicious too! Get the tuna tartare and the lamb chops, and definitely spring for the baked Alaska for dessert. Sooo delicious.

Decided to celebrate my birthday here last minute and Heidy the event manager was able to accommodate me and my guests! We all had such a great time! Everything from the service, food, drinks and of course the aesthetics. La Vie is one of my favorite spots in the District for sure.
Be the first to ReplyMy experience was awful from the hostess to management.
The hostess did not want to seat me even tho the Resturant was 80 % empty . I was over looked by the white male waiter, despite the fact that I was seated, and waiting. Instead He assisted the white patrons who came in after me. Additionally, the Latina waitress approached me, poured water for my table and never came back.We finally got a table but unfortunately our woes did not end. After a bit of a wait, my food finally came out. My steak was sent to me and was decent. My eggs however were cooked to the point that they were rubbery. I asked that they (the eggs) be recooked. The eggs took forever to come back. I ended up canceling bc I was hungry and ate the steak that was already on my plate. I am exceedingly disappointed and won't be returning. If it were possible to leave 0 stars, quite frankly that would be my rating!
